Leaf mold and a lively thing ...
Found a Pink Frilled Tussock Moth caterpillar yesterday. First sight of one. Twig in hand, I coaxed the 'reluctant to cooperate' hairy little critter onto a piece of card and then placed it amongst the leaves that are piling up beneath Cathweegia. Fingers crossed it will achieve the chrysalis stage.
Currently taking a breather in the shiny metropolis with Biggest Dog. She loves the whole fill up your senses package, but her noggin needs regular five minute breaks to process everything :-) ...

How does one determine the pH level of their soil and adjust it accordingly for optimal plant growth?
Soil pH is an important factor in plant growth and health. The pH level of the soil determines how well plants can absorb nutrients from the soil. Most plants prefer a slightly acidic soil, with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. If the soil is too acidic or alkaline, it can negatively affect plant growth and development. In this article, we will discuss how to determine the pH level of your soil and…

If the green left the grass on the other side 🌱 I would make like a tree and leave 🌳 But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide 🐛 Who knew the other side could be so green 💚

remember when we were robbed of the lettuce bikini
#like i totally get that being not feasible#but dawg y’all made an octopus.#i think a cotton or muslin#set into a mold with fabric stiffener or something#could’ve made a great lettuce leaf#they could’ve attached that onto#a swimsuit base of like#actual wearable fabric#it would’ve been so cool#i mean they kinda made esmé#like super campy and scattered#in season 3#so i think it fits#regardless

My brain like "wow someone should study how fast my brain fog clears when I take a double hit of albuterol"...Raya you dumb bitch it's just asthma and steroids. It's not that deep. You have severe asthma. You cannot breathe. Your brain does not have enough oxygen and then it does, with a bonus kick
#I had to postpone my allergic asthma allergy shots again because I had an asthma attack#I'm really really ridiculously allergic to dust and leaf mold and it is November in Chicago#The first month I moved here I took the train to the doctor in the throes of an asthma attack and begged for albuterol#Because the trees were Killing me

I'm so conflicted 😭In Secrets of the Hidden Leaf, you rendition of Sakura is tugging me in so many different ways! Like her situation is really sad with whats going on with her and Sasuke, but the way she's handling it is sooooo bad! And omg poor Lee! She makes me so mad sometimes but I still feel for her because not all of this is her fault! She's self destructing and doesn't realize it and its just so terrible and sad. This whole situation is MESSY! but a good messy lol. I don't know how I want this to end. Part of me wants it all to blow up in her face and the other part wants it to never see the light of day! Gosh like I can't imagine this secret being revealed! The consequences would just be...omg!
Please update soon, every single one of your stories are amazing, but Secrets has my soul! Every time you post a chapter you snatch my wig and im not even wearing one.
signed,
-a reader slowly dying without your amazing stories being updated 😭
Lol, okay, first off, I do apologize for snatching ya wig that you aren't even wearing. I don't know what kinda Houdini shit that is but, uh, yeah, my bad 😂
I'm happy to hear you're conflicted, that's the way I tried to write her, an emotional tug of war. A woman in a bad situation that isn't entirely her fault but isn't always handling it in the best of ways.
Overall with Secrets, I wanted to do more gray area things, rather than the black and white; good or bad, one-way thinking that I see so much in writing/life. It's sterile to me.
Good people can make bad decisions, bad people can do good things, kind/innocent people can have naughty side, a loving couple can make room for one more. you can love your country and still hold it accountable, unconventional relationships are not always a character flaw or indication of trauma; not everything will fit into a mold or follow 'societal norms', nor should it.
That's boring and unrealistic to me. People should be able to mix and match their life in a way that makes them happy, fulfilled and is amicable to all parties involved.
Anyway, back to the topic, lol.
Sakura.
She's uh, going through somethings, and a lot of people are upset with her but its also nice to see people can acknowledge that a lot of it is due to poor coping skills (lowkey just like her husband, lol). I hope to keep developing her in a way that makes her to gray to categorize as good or bad. I'm still working on it though :D
Far is updates go, once Monster has been updated, you should be on the lookout for either my OG stories updated or a one-shot from the NH fair being fleshed out. I'm taking my time though, so it might be another week or so.
Thanks for reading!

The man on the radio wends his way through Wednesday morning helping us while away the hours. Weatherwise we're not exactly talking tropical, but definitely David Attenborough sweaty pits kind of weather. The traffic lady says there's animals loose on one of the main Dublin roads again, and suggests farmers need a fencing refresher course.
Today's groaner: a man fell into a vat of coffee and died. In an attempt to console his wife, the police told her "at least he didn't suffer; it was instant" ;-D badoom tish ... here all week!!
Off to the shiny metropolis, hip hip hooray, calloo callay. Well, maybe I'm not that excited about it ... but my poorly kitty cat needs vet tlc. Too tired to be overly quippy at this point, so as you were and tomorrow may bring more in the way of sentence silliness.
Bring me the coffee pot and let's see if I can stay upright! ;-D ...

…How do we feel about the environmental implications of certain very tiktok-friendly Small Business Crafts such as resin work and polymer clay jewelry. I know that I feel and think things about them but I don’t really know what those things are
#like are they yet another expression of first world consumerist luxury?#is it irresponsible to create with what is essentially a lot of plastic?#is it stupid to shame people for this when their impacts are negligible compared to manufacturers and industry?#or is it something to be more concerned about?#how is the ‘accessible low-entry level craft -> small business on tiktok’ pipeline affecting artists?#in what ways do these crafts intersect w privilege or lack thereof?#what makes them different from things like beading/embroidery/pottery/painting/metalwork/sewing/other arts and crafts?#are they different at all?#idk I just feel like on the one hand yay creativity on the other hand i feel like it’s trendifying/yassifying/commodifying certain aspects#of creativity#like most amateur like ‘small business’ tiktok girlies are just making things that follow trends and often copies of whatever is popular atm#(at least in my experience)#like do you know what I mean. like all the resin girlies with their molds they bought on aliexpress#and the polymer clay earring girlies where they make the clay look like marble/stone in a ‘satisfying’ grammable process#of chopping up teeny bits of clay and mixing it with acrylic paint and gold leaf and rolling it all out#and it’s ‘satisfying’ and just the ~perfect~ vehicle for ~trending audios~

korean natural farming: go to the biggest oldest tree in the forest, if you dig at it’s base it will have inches of rich, loamy leaf mold full of amazing indigenous microorganisms that are perfectly adapted to your local environment
me who lives in a swamp in the subtropics where it is currently the wet season and everything gets washed away weekly by several inches of rain leaving only sugar sand and very eutrophic lakes: i’m sure i will be able to do this with no modifications whatsoever
#when i say there was about a CENTIMETER of leaf mold that might be an overestimate#i guess i will be collecting pond muck??? that’s where it all goes#gardening#korean natural farming#solarpunk

my SAD goes in the other direction, so this is an outsider or even opponent's perspective, but I think y'all are giving december too much flak and letting november & january off the hook
#november is wetter & january is colder#november is also worse for leaf mold allergies#& january gets you fewer days off work#furthermore december features MY BIRTHDAY so it's good actually
