Machi's #15 DPxDC Idea

Bruce couldn't understand what was happening, or why, or how, or why, or when, or well, anything at all. One day he found two civilians, two teens goofing around the cave like two newlyweds. When Batman, with capital B; tried to interrogate them he only got mockery.

"What's with the long face?" They said before disappearing through one of the smaller caves. For a moment Bruce thought he had hallucinated the Asian boy and the Hispanic girl. Only to find the same Hispanic girl with a blond boy making out on Red Robin's bike. Plus another couple with them! And all of them were holding hands!

Then, a few days later, while he was investigating the lower levels of the batcave he found a black boy with a red beanie flirting with Jason, and Jason was flirting back? Batman had to pull everybody out of the caves and call for an emergency meeting. Only to find a boy with black hair passed out at the meeting table, using Batman's reports as cushions. Sitting next to him was a girl with also dark hair drinking with a straw from a coconut.

"Poor Danny," she said. "After all these years he still can't deal with alcohol." And then she promptly started to offer coconut milk to everyone.

He snapped at her but she only raised an eyebrow and left carrying the boy, Danny, on her back. And then the music started. Day and Night it would start playing at the most random moments. Samba, Rumba, Fados, Boleros, K-pop, anything went in, they even accepted petitions if the kids yelled loud enough. Steph had gotten in the habit of asking for Kill Bill's OST and Dick constantly asked for Taylor Swift. They even answered when Damian complained about their choices and asked for Chopin's nocturne. And then the batcave started to grow flowers! And trees? And the fruit was edible? What the heck?

"Sounds to me like you have a nymph infestation," said Wonder Woman after hearing his rant report. Batman stared at her like she had grown another head.

"I mean, flower powers, free love, did they have pointed ears?" Batman nood. "Yup, definitely a nymph infestation." Batman kept staring at her. Don't look at me like that, they are very common where I come from. The only solution is to wait until they get bored and move on. If you try to get rid of them violently not only you will fail. But also will risk the wrath of the gods." Batman kept staring. Wonder woman sighed. "I will call Pan to see if he is missing any nymphs and wants them back".

A lot of us were touched deeply by the heartbreaking video of the little Palestinian boy who was late to the food distribution. Today there was an update video by the OP showing the boy, named Khalil, with many bags of food! How excited he is as he sorts the food into little categories: rice with rice, cans with cans. May Allah protect this sweet angel.

How To Stard Seeds Indoors (Cheaply)

I finally finished designing my little seed-starting info flyer after some experimentation to make sure these techniques and items actually work. After lots of healthy seedlings, I am now confident in sharing this info! This project was started as a way to fight back and provide for the community. I am growing much more than I need, in order to give out free plants to my community members and to also feed as many people as we can. If you are like me and want to do the same, or even just provide food for your family in these scary times, here's some good info to get you started! Please don't be intimidated by gardening - anyone can do it!

Feel free to save and share to whatever platform. No watermark because its all free to use info from me to you 😊💕

Walked to the library to early vote in the municipal election and on the way back some BEAUTIFUL person had placed this by one of the green waste dumpsters:

Full and unopened and now mine. Will be sifting it to use the finer stuff for future seed starting and using the coarser stuff for containers.

Also in the category of things I got for free:

A spent bulb arrangement (daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips) picked up yesterday on the way back from picking up chicken food. Trimmed off the flower stalks and let it soak in a pan overnight to rehydrate all that coir/peat. Will get it broken apart and planted in the ground with a bit of fertilizer tomorrow. Then I'll have more nice flowers next spring! The tulips were medium pink, but the rest will be a surprise.

The old cherry tomato seed I sowed in the mushroom containers is up with more seedlings than I was expecting. I'm going to wait for the first set of true leaves to pick them apart to pot up separately. I should be able to kick most of the other tomato seedlings out into the cold frame next week to make some room under the grow lights, so the timing should be right. At the moment I am having to significantly elevate these newly germinated seedlings closer to the light so they don't get leggy because some of the other seedlings are 6" tall already.

Bonus spring flowers:

My three strawberry plants are starting to flower so I'm removing the protective wire mesh trashcans from them during the day.

While I'm in a rental and I know it can't be guaranteed to stay, I'm going to plant Richmond Birdwing Vine (pararistolochia praevenosa), Purple Violet (viola betonicifolia), and Native Violet (viola hederacea).

They're the host plants for the Richmond Birdwing and Australian Fritillary butterflies, and I keep seeing that post about a man in America who helped out significantly I think with the California pipevine swallowtail.

There's so much I can't do to help with the environment, but planting a vine I'll need to trim in my own yard alongside a handful of other native plants and having a bit of a veggie garden helps myself, my family, and some animals in the area.

Smilax shoot season!! I cooked these with just butter and garlic (and s+p ofc) and they’re like if asparagus was… better. Not as bitter or tough as asparagus. Yum!

I want to go into the new year with a ceasefire, I want aid to reach Gaza, more than just what is needed, I want excess aid, more than they’d know what to do with, I want them to get help rebuilding, I want Palestinians to be safe and free.

There's a walking path near our apartment building and there are a few berry bushes growing wild along it. Not sure if they're blackberries or black raspberries but

we pick a few every year!

I’ve been trying to find snacks that I grew up eating. Especially this one that is very similar to Nutella and sticks (idk the actual name) but it was chocolate instead. My mom brought it home every time she went out to the polish stores, one day they stopped selling it. Ever since then I’m trying to chase that feeling or finding something similar. Even now they stopped selling hazelnut chocolate bars. They used to import a lot of stuff from Poland and slowly it’s stopping. I miss them a lot and nostalgia is hitting me hard when it comes to snacks

Trying to decide whether planting chestnut trees in my yard would be a dumb idea

ridiculous morning thoughts

I woke up from dreaming my wishful fat dreams, as usual, and the following occurred to me: would not creatures who evolved in low gravity be free to grow very fat?

I've actually thought about this before. The usual depiction of low-gravity life in sci-fi, if it exists at all, is a rather airy-fairy, ethereal floating jellyfish sort of animal, which might well evolve under certain conditions but I find it somewhat lacking in imagination. Just a cursory glance at life on Earth, evolving under ordinary forces of 1G, reveals a wealth of shapes and sizes, from light flying insects to big blubbery sea mammals. Maybe I'm wildly off-base just because we have no point of reference for native low-gravity life, but it seems to me that a lighter gravity should allow alien life to grow massive, given enough room and sustenance.

What about humans in zero-G? Well, that's where the wishful fat dreams come in (again). I was thinking of something like the Belters from The Expanse, that is to say, humans who were born and raised in low-G environments. They are depicted as taller and lacking bone density (yes, this would indeed happen, as humans lack any adaptations to low gravity). But what if, instead of thin and fragile, Belters one day evolved to be... fat? There's no stress on the joints in zero-G. Given enough time, sustenance, and selection pressure for a stronger cardiovascular system...

I'm just saying that my little fat-loving imagination needs to see a happy society of fat, floating space folk, is all.

how can I keep being expected to work and be productive when every day there’s a new horror. I can’t stop thinking about aaron bushnell’s sacrifice, his dying words, about northern Gaza being starved by Israel, about them bombing Rafah. Today I saw a photo of a 17-year-old Palestinian girl who’d starved to death; her cheeks sunken, skin sallow, eyes staring at nothing, limp in her family’s arms. I saw a video of a premature baby, born at 26 weeks old, who probably won’t get the same chance at life as I did, simply because of the genocidal cruelty of Israel. Who will likely die of starvation or bombing unless Israel is forced to stop this genocidal slaughter. How am I supposed to take all this in and keep working at my desk job like my heart isn’t burning, like my mind isn’t scattered in a million different directions? But if I don’t work, I won’t be able to pay for my rent, or healthcare, or overpriced pesticide-riddled food, and I’ll fall through the cracks of this capitalistic bloodthirsty death cult. Something has to give. Please, god, something has to give.
