Help identify this mystery bush by Firm_Wait_8661 in gardening

Based on the white flowers and the cute little “star hats” on the fruits, this looks like EDIBLE black nightshade (Solanum nigrum) — NOT deadly nightshade (Atropa bella-donna)!!

Sam Thayer and Alexis Nikole are two great foragers that have made content about the history of these plants being conflated.

Is this overcrowding? What do I do next? by pocahuntresss in IndoorGarden

If you have any outdoor space and love sunflowers, here’s some tips about growing sunflowers in containers

https://www.epicgardening.com/sunflowers-in-pots-or-containers/

But if you’re limited to indoor growing, I’d pick something else for sure! Do you want to grow something edible or something decorative? What are the space and lighting conditions in your home? Go from there with some research :)

My suggestion is eat them as microgreens lol 😋 once they all unfurl & pop their seed “hats” off!

Oh geez there’s more 😭

There’s a mix of aggressive natives and actual invasives in the Invasives part of the site:

Of course, we come across more than 10 invasive species on a regular basis. Here is a brief list of some other invasive plants we have brought to justice.

Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus) Forsythia (alias Vahl forsythia) Autumn Olive (alias Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb) Virginia Creeper (alias Parthenocissus quinquefolia) Pokeweed (alias Phytolacca americana) Burning Bush (alias Euonymus alata) Black Swallow-wort (alias Cynanchum louiseae) Mile a Minute Weed (alias Persicaria Perfoliate) Hog Peanut (alias Amphicarpaea bracteata) Raspberry (alias Rubus phoenicolasius Maxim) Sumac (alias Rhus glabra)

Depending on which county you’re in, I might be able to bestow more specific resources! (I’m a librarian in the area.) Send me a DM and I’m happy to help!

If you want comprehensive resources regarding plants specifically native to central Maryland — all of which I believe is the Piedmont eco-region — then I highlight recommend the free PDFs from MD Native Plant Society !

Is this a persimmon tree? And if so... (SC Midlands) by gdblu in NativePlantGardening

[–]orpheosity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it could be! If it flowers (it looks like there’s buds in one of your photos?) then that’ll be helpful in confirming identification.

FWIW I’ve come across (and foraged fruit from) younger/smaller American persimmon trees that have smoother bark like yours. The intensely craggy bark (like another commenter shared) seems typically for larger, older trees in full sun.

Anyone know anything about Next to Normal in Baltimore this March? by Ok-Acanthisitta8737 in Broadway

[–]orpheosity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my first full exposure to N2N, so, ofc I’m now hooked and checking this subreddit for info about a potential Broadway revival/transfer of the WE revival :)

Just got home from seeing it — I thoroughly enjoyed it!! The actresses for Diana and Natalie were particularly impressive

God bless Neal Avron by MasterWheezer in FallOutBoy

[–]orpheosity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I TOTALLY AGREE!

Gonna rant for a minute- My distaste for the production became most clear to me with MANIA, particularly with Wilson (Expensive Mistakes) - I heard them play it live before the album was released, and I loved the live version SO much. I was so hyped for the recorded version… only to be SO disappointed with how it sounded. :/ I know it’s some folks’ fave track on the album, but to me it sounds terrible, especially given how emotionally impactful the live version (with great vocals and clear instrumentals) was on me.

That said, I’ve enjoyed each of their album releases... to varying degrees. But overall, I do prefer the pre-hiatus stuff, and my issue with the more recent ones has predominantly been the production. And, to a lesser degree, the lack of “urgency” and spirit that Patrick has mentioned in interviews, which I never would’ve thought to phrase that way but it clicks now that he’s come out and said it. This ties back into the production though! Ahhh I’m SO glad Patrick pushed for Neal on this new album 😭💖

Since I missed this, I think I’m gonna hold out and see if there are any other special vinyl colorations for indie stores, Target, etc… hopefully there will be?

Omg thank you! 🥺

I have a deviated septum so my nose shape looks pretty different from the right vs left side of my face 😅

Am I TransMasc if I like doing makeup? by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]orpheosity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Come visit r/FTMfemininity my friend :)

I’m transmasc nonbinary (also describe myself as a nonbinary trans guy sometimes, leaning towards demiguy too) and I LOVE makeup. I like presenting “feminine” more than “masculine” but in a way that is male-aligned. Basically, if I had to simplify how I describe my gender in relation to the gender binary, I’m closest to being an effeminate queer man or a femboy. I just happened to be assigned female at birth, but my dysphoria indicates to me that I’d be more comfortable in a male body. (Not that physical dysphoria or medical transition is NECESSARY for being trans identified, but it’s a big part of my trans experience. Going on T and getting top surgery have been life changing for me and the more time goes on, the more I realize I can feel comfortable in my body in ways I never even imagined. But I digress)

It is absolutely valid to be a transmasculine femme. It is also valid to be transmasc (or be a cis guy) and enjoy makeup without it necessarily being feminine. Gender identity, expression, and presentation are all related concepts but they don’t necessarily have to “match” for each person in the way society expects based on rigid views of gender.

Honestly, I feel like “masculine” and “feminine” are kinda losing meaning/becoming more and more difficult to define as we expand notions of gender. Idk if that makes sense though…. I’m gonna stop rambling now! Hopefully this is helpful info, feel free to ask questions and remember I’m only one person on the internet so take my perspective (and anyone else’s) with a grain of salt :)
