#plant molds

[hometoursandotherstuff]

This farmer couple used silicon to create molds in the shape of their own feet. They then planted turnips using these molds. As the turnips grew, they filled the molds and took on the shape of their feet.

Disney World grows vegetables like this in molds, too.

If people make cutesy posts about growing food and herb spirals and composting but never talk about stuff like preventing and getting rid of rats in a garden, I get this suspision that they either haven't actually gardened much or they're more interested in presenting an aesthetically pleasing image than in actually preparing people to deal with a garden.

hey not to brag or anything but so far this summer I’ve seen 1 slime mold (dog vomit slime mold crawling on a stump along a trail) and 3 horsetail stands (the last one a couple days ago in a dirty ditch behind an office park) and 2 days ago I saw a pair of turkeys with 4 little fluffy baby turkeys between them. just so everyone knows and we’re on the same page here

Yeah, so while I was on my "I'm going to read into Vanny/Vanessa as much as possible" journey, I noticed an odd quirk in her animations in how she moves. At first, I thought it reminded me of a ballerina, 'cause she's kinda tip-toeing, & she has this way of keeping her head & chest in one place as she moves, but I looked again & realized --

That's not ballet! She's doing a tight-rope act. Like, look at this one:

This is like standing up on the wooden boards before you do the actual tight-rope walking, & the ring leader is hyping you up as you do some fun movement for the crowds. &, then, these:

These are all instances where she walks with one foot directly in front of the other. In that third, she's doing the "woaaah" wiggly-ass balance movements & everything, as if she's swaying up at the top of the tent, even though she's down on solid ground.

Idk, I feel like the way her feet are placed isn't accurate (pretty sure they should be pointed left & right, not both forwards...) doesn't make this 100% correct, but I like it. It also connects back with her first SB teaser, wherein she's up in the rafters.

Slime Mold

This short-lived slime mold was growing on treated mulch on the campus of Medicine Hat College.

Lucinda Anderson: at home bc I can’t deaw the dorm rooms for my life

I might tweak the background later this week, but for now u have her room. A few hcs I have for her (or are they cannon bc she’s my oc?):

-she’d love to decorate her room but is barely home enough to do it (but she has a wall full of posters) -Her room od way more messy than this, she just pushed everything aside for the picture -Her hair IS natural, for SOME reason her and her sister were born with blonde in their hair. (No reason, yet.) -The Venus Flytraps on her jacket are symbolism, bc I’m choosing plants to represent all the charatcers (I have to put my plant phase to use yk?). The flytrap means Persistence, bc she’s a persistent bitch. -She has a lot of little scars and bruises from being reckless (might’ve froggotne to add them, this is NOT THE FINAL VERSION OF HER)

not important in the long run but it really is pissing me off to see people on twitter and bluesky pushing the idea that bird flu is only a problem because of animal agriculture and if we just all went vegan we'd never have to worry about food-borne illness ever again bcs one, uh H5N1 got this bad in wild birds first and a lot of people catch it directly from them and not from farmed poultry and livestock, and two, there are tons of recalls of produce due to contamination and a lot of them are because we live in hell and the poor or undocumented or incarcerated human beings who are picking and packaging all of your vegetables don't get to take care of themselves well enough to not spread contagious diseases because treating them like humans costs money and the people selling your veggies don't care if their employees get sick and then get you sick so long as they keep making money

it just shows such a blatant lack of understanding of how both food-borne illnesses and agriculture as a whole work, as well as a weird refusal to consider that chickens and cows aren't the only living beings suffering for the sake of putting food on your table, like if you genuinely don't get that eating nothing but fresh veggies won't save you from listeria because you keep forgetting that the people growing those veggies aren't getting treated like human beings then I have absolutely no interest in taking anything you say about bird flu seriously, you're legit just willfully relishing in being misinformed because you think it gives you a moral high ground and it's so fucking annoying
