Hi everyone,
For those that may not recognize my username, Iā€™m Maisy. My main blog is @mabrego0714 Iā€™m an artist and often post Star Wars art (along with other fandoms). I also have a writing blog @writingforfun0714 where I write fanfics (Iā€™m not a writer and just do that for fun).
Now Iā€™d like to start a gardening blog where I basically just journal what I have, what I use for my plants, harvests, and maybe even share some garden/plant art as well.
I AM A NOVICE/BEGINNER. Iā€™m still learning and am definitely open to any tips, tricks, and/or hacks to any of my plants but full on hate/condescension/general assholery will not be tolerated because I want this to be a safe space for everyone including:
ā€”disabled/nd folks
ā€”minors
ā€”other beginner gardeners
ā€”literally anyone interested in gardening
So hereā€™s some info about my garden/area.
USA: Zone 9 (a)
Normal climate on an avg day: warm to hot/dry/arid with few days of rain though weā€™ve gotten more rain than normal this year. Can get windy. I do get hurricane and tornado warnings during those respective seasons.
Soil in my area is incredibly rocky and clay-like so my garden is split into 2 parts: direct-sow and container garden. Also Iā€™ve had plants that require full sun in my yard die due to the intense heat of summer and fall. So that means some full sun plants might need protection and/or partial sun in my area.
Both gardens get sun but direct-sow garden is full sun. Potted plants get morning sun along with partial afternoon shade thanks to my house.
Now for the fun, listing what I already have and the status of them as of this post 6/4/24:
Container garden:
Apple treeā€”new tree/adding new growth and is currently ~7-8ft tall.
Peach treeā€”new tree/ has 4 small golf ball sized peaches and is currently ~6-7ft tall.
Olive treeā€”new tree/new growth and is ~4.5ft tall.
Fig tree/bush?ā€”small but new growth.
Blueberriesā€”I have 4 blueberry plants that range from a small fruiting bush to plants that are recovering from a fungal infection. I originally got 3 of them when they were packed in clay soil and developed blueberry blight (they were on clearance) and thought I could save them despite no knowledge of gardening/taking care of any kind of plant. I got some organic fungicide and changed the soil, adding in organic soil acidifier. They are currently recovering and adding new growth which Iā€™m extremely proud of cuz I thought they would all dieā€”which led me to buying the 4th one just in case the others didnā€™t make it. Iā€™ll make a whole post about them later.
Raspberriesā€”new plants with small buds growing. Currently ~2ft-3ft tall. I have 2 for pollination.
Blackberriesā€”thorny vine producing fruit. I also have a thornless variety that is a small plant with new growth on it.
Elderberriesā€”small bush that hasnā€™t flowered despite it being 2yrs old. Maybe it needs a pollinator?
Potatoesā€”I have 2 5gal buckets of potatoes. One has the plants yellowing/dying off and almost ready to harvest while the other bucket still has new growth.
Tomatoesā€”Lots of varieties that range from seedling, new growth to producing. Will make a tomato post as well.
Carrotsā€”new growth and all carrots have their secondary leaves.
Onionsā€”Chives specifically, rather small but still green and healthy.
Peppersā€”seedlings (we grew all our peppers from seed this year which takes longer and my dad and I started a bit late).
Chile pequinā€”established, flowering and producing small bush. Native plant in my area.
Green beansā€”producing
Cucumbersā€”flowering, about to produce
Native wildflowersā€”just past seedling, also doing great since I planted these way too late.
Daisiesā€”seedlings
Radishesā€”They were doing well but we had high winds recently that wrecked them so Iā€™m hoping theyā€™ll come back.
Grapesā€”1 small 4ft vine from an online nursery and 2 fruiting vines about 6ft-7ft tall from Lowes. All green grapes.
Direct-sow/Ground Garden:
Cornā€”new growth, ~2ft tall with 1-inch thick stalks.
Tomatoesā€”Lemon boy hybrid, Super Sweet 100 hybrid, that are both flowering.
Pole beansā€”producing
Yellow Lantanaā€”FLOWER. it migrated and exploded in my direct-sow garden. Doing great.
Melon patchā€”Mostly watermelon with cantaloupe. Everything is doing incredibly well and the watermelon have started to vine. Iā€™ve got classic red sugar baby watermelon along with orange watermelon and yellow golden honey watermelon. Different color watermelon is common where Iā€™m at. Will make a separate post for my melon patch too.
Exotic/Tropical/Cacti and Succulents/Unusual: I believe zones 9+ can grow lots of tropical fruit (but not all)
Pineapplesā€”grown from tops. New growth but no flowers. All 3 are in a clay pot.
Pink Lemonade Blueberriesā€”small plant with new growth. No flowers. Bought from online nursery early May ā€˜24.
Golden Raspberriesā€”small plant with new growth. No flowers. Bought from online nursery early May ā€˜24. I have 2 for pollination.
Papayaā€”new tree with new growth but no flowers. ~3ft tall. I have 2 for pollination.
Pink Guavaā€”new tree with new growth but no flowers. ~3ft tall. I have 2 for pollination.
I believe thatā€™s it. So I think thatā€™s all the important stuff Iā€™ll include for my intro post but feel free to message me if you have a question or just wanna talk about gardeningšŸŒ±šŸŒæšŸ’š
Have a pic of one of the big grape vines I have. For reference itā€™s taller than me (Iā€™m 5ā€™3ā€). I will make posts about each plant this summer so get ready for that. If anyone has something they wanna see from the list, lemme knowšŸ’š
Tumblr media
Below the cut is a bit about me, how I got into gardening, why Iā€™m doing it now, what I hope to achieve and future plans for my garden. Thanks to those that like/reblog this and itā€™s never too late to plant. Happy gardeningšŸ„°
I was lucky enough to grow up with a garden during my early childhood years thanks to my dad. My dad had me late in life (he was 45) and he grew up around his farmer grandparents, and his green-thumbed mother who could make anything grow but mostly grew flowers in her garden. Our garden wasnā€™t much but it produced a lot. It consisted of cherry tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers and corn, at least at first. Then my dad added sunflowers, melons, and peppers. It was great and I loved going out with my dad and helping him. Sadly life got in the way when I was 7 and I experienced a lot of trauma. My parents divorced and that was the end of the garden because my mom had no time or interest in the upkeep of the garden. I had tried myself but things started to die one by one.
Years and years would pass that I wouldnā€™t even consider gardening. I was too busy with trauma/family/school etc to focus on gardening. It wasnā€™t until I graduated high school that I really started to think seriously about gardening to produce food to survive. In college I started to research gardening in my spare time (being an artist, I was in school for animation and illustration) and after dropping out, I decided to pursue gardening as a way to get up and outside especially with the pandemic.
I think around the time of the pandemic, I started researching different kinds of gardens and fell in love with the idea of a food forest. I told my dad about my new interest in gardening and I think that also inspired him to also get back into it as well and now itā€™s our shared activity we do.
Iā€™d love to eventually get a large enough harvest to share with friends and family and I will definitely be expanding my garden this year as well. There was lots of construction last year in my neighborhood which drove all the pests and insects towards my garden and discouraged me so lots of my plants (all the trees/most of the berries) I bought this year are new and I havenā€™t grown 95% of what I have now so Iā€™m super excited.

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?
I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?
In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut fĆ¼r Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".
Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.
This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.
Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.
The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.
Tumblr media
[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]
There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.
This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.
Tumblr media
[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]
As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.
But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?
Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

I am loudly pushing the batdad agenda i am loudly pushing theā€” DPxDC Prompt
ā€œWoah. You look like shit."
Granted, thatā€™s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; heā€™s not running on 100% right now either.
The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.
"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."
And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.
The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.
If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.
"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.
"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.
"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.
The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.
He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."
There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.
"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."
Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"
"Daniel? Is that you?"
His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.
