Which houseplant brought you the most joy this summer and/or autumn?

all my plants have been kinda fussy but I did buy a new plant this summer which I love a lot, it's a hoya. but the one plant that has been thriving is my asparagus setaceus. It doesn't look good in photos but in real life its huge and beautiful. I haven't repotted my plants in a while so I have a lot of work to do next spring 😐

I wonder if my problem with math is because I always try to understand things to their core and math is taught more in a memorization type of way. I saw a video of a kid being good at math cause they learned it via memorizatiob tools and I could never do that. I need to know why something equates, not just how.

By the way you're a million percent allowed to lie about who you voted for. you don't have to be a part of a group of people who voted for the same person, voting is about who you think will rule the country best, not who your family or husband or whatever agreed on. If you want to fit in but you want to vote for whoever you want, lie. Lie lie lie. No one will ever know if you lied or not. Voting is not soemthing you ever have to be scared of, you have no moral duty to be truthful about this. Lie.

I should start reblogging good luck posts cause I would easily disprove them since literally everything I do goes wrong

should I embrace the goth and dye my hair black?

oh I'm enjoying having this dark lipstick wayyyyy too much. the little 12 year old emo girl inside me has been reborn. actually she was never dead, she was just waiting

I saw a funny video from a disabled man responding to someone saying they're scared of people without limbs and the comments were crazy telling people that if you're scared of amputation that means you're ableist and you can't have a phobia of that because you're just ableist. Have you never heard of body horror? It's when the body looks different than we think it should look and that causes uncomfortable feelings like fear and anxiety! I mean that's why its called horror. So is body horror ableist?

Oh by the way if you were in an abandoned building and you suddenly heard whispers, you continue exploring and you hear something falling, you continue exploring and you see shadowy humanoid figures, would you get scared and run away from there? So you admit to being scared of homeless people?! BIGOT!

okay if you were visiting your friend in the hospital, it's late and dark, and you started hearing screaming and banging and very strange unusual sounds, would you get scared? BIGOT! It's just the person in the other room having a psychotic episode, so you're ableist! Mentally ill people are just people!

Like come on. you're allowed to be scared of things that make you scared. it doesn't make you ableist

honestly if you think piercing a babys ears is bad (it is) then you should think tribal marking a baby is bad too

it is kinda weird that these button-speaking-whatever dogs always do stress yawns all the time in videos. actually a lot of dog videos where the dog is shown to be "exceptionally smart" in some way they do stress yawns a lot

the most prominent dogs in the adoption groups I'm in on facebook seem to be bully breeds, especially the "fancy" kinds from other countries like XL or "pocket" or whatever, the description is always "she's the nicest dog in the world, no problems at all" and they blame the adoption on allergies most of the time (even though bullies are less allergenic than most dogs). I wonder why this is

it's so weird that people on tumblr hate vapes but they absolutely love drugs of all kinds

a video where a "street interviewer" talked to a girl but her boyfriend became jealous, came up to her and literally grabbed her breast in public and then pulled her away from the interview, and all the comments are saying "she's the type of girl who will cheat on you, leave her" "she's for the streets" "she's not your girl she's just with you for the moment" like all of them judging the girl. this man literally grabbed her breast in public on camera. to assert his dominance or what??? this is not a good man

when we see women in stories who have "the wrong baby" by some kind of freak mixup at the hospital or because their baby was replaced (by fairies or trolls or something?) it's always a story of how this woman is of course willing to care for the child anyway. you know these stories, whether they're true or fiction. we admire these women and know it's a good thing to look past your blood for the sake of a childs safety.

Yet still, every time a man has the "wrong" baby, other men think he shouldnt spend time raising a child that isn't of his own blood. Sure, if the mother cheated and lied to him, he would be angry and has been decieved. Yet there is a movie where a woman has lost her memory and is tricked to believe some kids are hers, and it's seen as very sweet and obvious in the end when she chooses to still be their mother when she gets her memory back, no one would tell this woman she shouldn't care for them because they're not hers. I saw a post where a man claimed his wife died and he found out their two kids weren't his. So the mother, the one who lied, is dead. There's no one to be angry at. Yet still the men in the comments say this man doesnt deserve this burden, should leave the kids who just lost their mother, and that he deserves to have his own biological children. No thought of the kids as their own people who didn't do anything wrong, who are now practically orphans and need their dad. Hell, women even raise their rapists children, children who were forced upon them maliciously by a man. Yet women still love them and care for them. I've seen surrogate mothers wanting to keep the babies that share no dna with her at all. Yet men can't take care of the kids they've already been caring for for years

I always thought like what do you mean you should eat something even if you don't like it, like is it so hard to just eat the damn thing as long as it doesn't taste disgusting?? but now I'm taking meds that affect my appetite (combined with being so tired that I barely have the energy to put food into my mouth and chew it) and I realized maybe I just fucking love eating everything cause now that I don't love eating I can barely eat anything. my meat-substitutes are getting half eaten at best. I can eat fries and mashed potato. rice is fine as long as I'm hungry but as soon as I'm not hungry I feel like spitting it out once it enters my mouth. Pepper is my enemy right now, it makes everything taste gross

[plantaffinity]
