I could not leave Home Depot without this Alocasia Bisma Platinum. I keep checking for some Odora Batiks as I see people posting them from their HD's. I didn't find one of those but I found this big one! I don't see any corms off the bat like I did with my last addition, but there are two well established plants and a few actual pups that could be split off.

I'm going to let it acclimate to its new environment first before reporting it and my Green Unicorn. Fingers crossed there are some corms in this one too! I'm really enjoying the process of growing them, even with the intent to sell. In the beginning of the season there are more Alocasias in the stores and nurseries but I noticed as the season goes on the dwindle around where I live. I think it'd be nice to have them more available for the plant community here. It's also easier to ship small plants than large established ones.

Once I get some ready to go, I'll be setting up Purges, Live Sales, and just listings of plants, crystals, pottery, and other goods :) My user name is Root.And.Leaf on the app 😊

Being a content moderator on Facebook can give you severe PTSD.

Let's take time from our holiday festivities to commiserate with those who have to moderate social media. They witness some of the absolute worst of humanity.

More than 140 Facebook content moderators have been diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder caused by exposure to graphic social media content including murders, suicides, child sexual abuse and terrorism. The moderators worked eight- to 10-hour days at a facility in Kenya for a company contracted by the social media firm and were found to have PTSD, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), by Dr Ian Kanyanya, the head of mental health services at Kenyatta National hospital in Nairobi. The mass diagnoses have been made as part of lawsuit being brought against Facebook’s parent company, Meta, and Samasource Kenya, an outsourcing company that carried out content moderation for Meta using workers from across Africa. The images and videos including necrophilia, bestiality and self-harm caused some moderators to faint, vomit, scream and run away from their desks, the filings allege.

You can imagine what now gets circulated on Elon Musk's Twitter/X which has ditched most of its moderation.

According to the filings in the Nairobi case, Kanyanya concluded that the primary cause of the mental health conditions among the 144 people was their work as Facebook content moderators as they “encountered extremely graphic content on a daily basis, which included videos of gruesome murders, self-harm, suicides, attempted suicides, sexual violence, explicit sexual content, child physical and sexual abuse, horrific violent actions just to name a few”. Four of the moderators suffered trypophobia, an aversion to or fear of repetitive patterns of small holes or bumps that can cause intense anxiety. For some, the condition developed from seeing holes on decomposing bodies while working on Facebook content.

Being a social media moderator may sound easy, but you will never be able to unsee the horrors which the dregs of society wish to share with others.

To make matters worse, the moderators in Kenya were paid just one-eighth what moderators in the US are paid.

Social media platform owners have vast wealth similar to the GDPs of some countries. They are among the greediest leeches in the history of money.

there’s been many times in the last few years when army was so divided i thought we’d never recover but none of those times hold a candle to what’s going on right now. genuinely there’s no coming back from the way these anti-boycott, anti-DOING-FUCKING-ANYTHING armys have been acting

I see my post from last night again wringing my hands over the way the dating world looks got some reblogs (including reblogs-without-comment), and I do want to express something that I'm not sure I've expressed before but has been warranted on some level for like ten years, which is... I (and we who are commiserating and reblogging each other's posts on this topic) need to be careful not to be fostering an echo chamber of the "feeding into one another's helplessness and hopelessness" type. I've always been critical of this when it's done by groups of (often very online) people that share some common challenge or marginalization status, including particularly groups who seem determined to wallow in some possibly overblown fear or ever-more-loosely-defined mental illness or neurological condition. And the more I notice that my dating-related posts get a certain amount of engagement, the more I'm aware that I run the danger of veering myself and others too far into the analog of this for "oh dating is so awful and scary and impossible, especially for men seeking women!"

Of course the ideal remedy would be to foster discussions that are productive and help us move forward, and to be fair, I would do a better job of doing that if I had any idea what the productive way forward in this realm should be.

Target has helped so many save money since they want to kiss the ass of Trump. Costco is better anyway

Here’s a real boycott list

[rouge-the-bat]

"boycott this! dont buy anything for this day/week!" i thought the point of boycotts were to not buy anything until... theres change? what is stopping for a very short temporary period going to do, lower the profits of a likely-multimillion-dollar company by the slimmest margin? like, i guess thats better than absolutely nothing but... idk if yall are gonna get the results you want like this, yunno?? esp considering most people arent buying things from any particular place on a daily/weekly basis ?????
