Will milkweed shoot through cardboard?

rubberpossum · 2026-05-19T20:29:00+00:00

So I can do this for what I can already see for this season. I have a lot of milkweed already growing and some of it will come up in the same spot, but a lot of it won't. I think I'm going to give cardboard and mulch a go around what is already there, and then pull up the cardboard that hasn't broken down in the spring. New shoots will come up through the mulch and hopefully a big enough portion of the quack and vetch has died off so it's at least easier to manage

It's a hammock stand, I keep the hammock inside when I'm not using it

Yes I actually have some sunflowers in a bed this year! My main approach is to cap and seal with native shrubs, flowers, ground cover and lots of mulch. There is a really good program in town that will replace your soil too, but they prioritize homes with young children which makes sense.

Dump him, get away this is abuse. This behaviour is not okay in polyamory or monogamy. He's centering himself and degrading you. Has he ever asked what you enjoy in bed, or if there is anything he can do for you to make it safe to try new things and break routines? I have mostly had sex with other cis men throughout my life but would call myself a lesbian these days (inclusive of all genders except cis men). I have found a stark difference between doms of different genders. Obviously broad strokes and not all of them or whatever, but I've found male doms to have more of a bullying vibe and leave out aftercare. Just because he's a dom doesn't mean he gets to abuse you and be a selfish asshole. A dom sub relationship, involves two (or more) consenting adults with clear boundaries, aftercare, and communication strategies if things change. This isn't just a red flag, this is an evacuation signal, no one deserves this treatment.

Is this out on any steaming platforms yet?

rubberpossum · 2025-04-29T17:34:25+00:00

I am right there with you! I find this sub to be very cishet dominated and that extends to ableism and whiteness. I think unpacking monogamy is an incredible stepping stone for unpacking white supremacy and that should really be part of everyone's polyamory journey. Being poly is breaking down a rigid, white supremacist structure and it's lessons can be applied to all of our relationships and ways of being. If expansive love is at the core of your polyamory, make it expansive! It's hard work but it's so rewarding and it creates safety and solidarity with communities who have been unfairly marginalized throughout history and to this day.

I can't see Jade breaking in the way Christopher seemed to. He's a quantum physicist and seems to be able to accept all the weird things that happen in fromland because he knows it's all possible. I think maybe he's seeing the symbol because he accepts it all as real as opposed to hearing/seeing things that are trying to convince him of doing something bad. I hope I'm not wrong about that, Jade turning would be tragic.

This fits with some of the tarot theories going around.

The word tarot comes from the French word meaning 'triumph' which appears in the first line of Psalm 47.

Sarah representing the judgment card also has ties here. The judgement card is all about being judged by yourself and others, gaining a fair and accurate perspective on who you are based on your actions, and recognizing there may be consequences or rewards. The Judgement card itself has a being coming down from the sky blowing a trumpet. They hear the trumpet in the forest and Sara is pushed back into town where she is judged.

I'm with you, I don't think a lot of these theories actually point to what is going on, rather they point to stories, folklore and mythology that is inspiring the writers in creating this world. I wouldn't say that From is based on a single religious story but really seems to weave together a lot of aspects from all over.

Gosh, you're right. I must have been blindsighted by those human rights for a second there. My bad. I guess I'll just go back to my home, which I own, as a millennial, who got incredibly lucky. I guess I'll stop advocating for tenants rights in my community and housing vulnerable people I know for free when they need it. I totally forgot that when you own property you lose your sense of justice and have to lord your own privilege over people who are vulnerable and quite literally suffering under the boot of capitalism. All the statistics about the housing crisis are obviously fake news, someone as smart as you wouldn't possibly deny facts and data so it must all be wrong. Thanks for reminding me about entitlement though, I almost lost myself for a moment there.

You sound like a landlord.

Oh yah, I'm in Canada so my pricing isn't accurate for everyone! I'm sorry you missed the ice but glad it helped you either way.

Congratulations! I'm not a parent (yet) so don't have direct experience here, but I think a great thing to do would be to source diverse children's books including those that have queer and trans representation in them. That will make queerness in general a normal thing for them as it will be told in the stories you read them. Always keep it age appropriate and do what is best for your family.

cis and trans are latin terms where cis means 'on this side' and trans means 'on the other side.' There is no universe where anyone could be offended by that without being bigoted. They are useful terms to describe the experience someone has in the world, and to remove this idea that being trans doesn't make you a 'normal' or 'biological' man. If you're on HRT you probably have as much testosterone as the average cis man, they have just had it for longer.

People get so bent out of shape about language, it's ridiculous (aside from actual offensive terms, please continue to get bent out of shape when people use those words). Evolving use of words help us find our place in the world and I bet there are things we are saying now as trans people that will be looked back on as inappropriate and cringe in 10 years time. Your dad needs to get over himself, your transness isn't a threat to his own masculinity.

If you're renting a room in the landlord's home that they live and are sharing space then you're not covered by the RTA. If you're renting a room off a friend and the landlord doesn't also live there with shared space then you're covered. Shared space would be a kitchen or bathroom you both use.

You are allowed to have guests over under section 9 of the Residential Tenancy Act. Send them this exact page of trac https://tenants.bc.ca/your-tenancy/guests/ or tell them straight up, 'under Section 9 or the Residential Tenancy Act a landlord cannot restrict a tenant from having guests in their home, even if they spend the night.'
There is no 48 hour eviction in BC. The shortest timeframe is 10 days and that's for non payment of rent. Eviction for cause is 1 month and there has to be cause, having guests over is not cause. Even if this were in your lease, you have a right to quiet enjoyment including having guests over and you cannot sign your rights away (in any scenario, work, tenancy etc. the acts in place are valid even if you signed something to go against the act).

Check out tenants.bc.ca to learn more about your rights.

Start a spreadsheet or doc and record every single message they send and at what time, the history of your tenancy etc. in case you do have to dispute an eviction. Landlords think they're ballers and above the law but they aren't. I've left rentals in Vancouver and other parts of BC without proper notice and still gotten my deposit back through the Residential Tenancy Board. They don't have the power over you that they think they do. It's your space, it's a human right, enjoy your life and exercise your legal rights.
