you guys I love plants so much qq
#personal#dear diary#the only downside is that my plant hobby is partly turning into a lightbulb hobby#this is why I am so excited that radiorose can be grown outdoors here year-round#do you know how insane it is to find a plant that tolerates temperatures from 20F to 110F#and isn't like#a TREE#plantblogging

housemate: we should make zucchini bread me: should we... grow some zucchini housemate: ... buying it from the store *does* feel a little like cheating now, yeah
#we have a whole stardew valley deal going in the backyard#there are more than 100 crops growing back there#I have bought one (1) vegetable since March#I know so much about mildew now#ask me about the watering requirements for beans#did you know there are so many kinds of beans#did you know you can grow sunflowers year round in some places#did you know you can GROW YOUR OWN PUMPKINS#the kitchen windowsill is now an ICU for plant babies#I spent my whole day off last week reading about crop rotation#what is GOING ON HERE#we have ten kinds of strawberry!!!!!#oreo rambles

#I remember clutching to this song#And now it's 1 year after going through the motions of a friendship ending#Still such a good song#All my love is spinning 'round the room. if only it would land. plant and bloom

Father has posted a little guard dog by the blueberry this year. “It came with the rocks,” he explained, unhelpfully.
#a bit of uncharacteristic whimsy from the father#little dog defend our blueberries (round 2) from the katydids this year#every plant can do this fundamental process#Con stop yapping

dare i say upside down by jack johnson is an incredibly outer wilds-coded song
#“whos to say what's impossible?” <- time loop#“the world keeps spinning and with each new day i can feel a change in everything” <- changing plants is literally why the game was made#“but in some ways they remain the same” <- time loop#“there's no stopping curiosity” <- LITERALLY WHY THE GAME WAS MADE#“i'll find the things they say just can't be found” <- girl what do you think youre doing in a time loop#��whos to say i can't do everything? well i can try” <- guess what buddy. time loop.#“i begin to find things arent always just what they seem” <- .... da sun#“well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round” <- time. loop.#“whos to say whats impossible and can't be found?” <- time loop. means you find the eye.#“please don't go away. is this how its supposed to be?” <-............ yeah#i guess this was my favorite song literally ever when i was like. three years old.#dare i say it was fate

Planted some bulbs today, not sure if they'll come up, I have never had much luck with daffodils, but the others were muscari, alliums, and irises, all of which have proven incorrigible when I planted them previously (still pulling alliums out of pots they were never planted in five years later).
#Earth and Stone#We will see? Idk I might not even be in this house to see them flower but I really could do with something going right#And it's better than the corner flowerbed just getting more and more overgrown#I like weeds but these weren't flowering and the whole front yard is weeds so a few spring bulbs more or less hopefully won't hurt#I DID dig up at least three caterpillars in the process though! Which has never happened to me before it's always worms I surprise#But I moved them all to another plant- there were two normal sized green ones and one massive brown one (a future moth maybe?)#Hope they make it#Just goes to show that even though there are literally no flowers or flowering trees planted round here except that buddleia#Which is attached somehow to the back of the bins and ravaged the front yard earlier this spring#That the weeds must be good for something if the caterpillars are thriving#No worms though which makes me suspect that the soil will not be good for bulbs#It's a very dry corner but then again it is a purpose built concrete raised flowerbed from the 1960s#It's always going to be an oddity#Unfortunately I also forgot where I planted some of them so the planting scheme may be a bit uneven in places#Eh I can cover it with seeds later if need be#Anyway trying to do something each day of October and this counts#I usually garden at my parents' house (mostly in pots too) so these will be the first bulbs I've planted at my own house#I tried to pick varieties that would come back every year

The hipsters are truly descending on Leith. I thought this flavour of waxed moustache striped shirt pocket watch and sunglasses Coolest Kids At The Warehouse Rave Mr B fucker died out in like 2012 but no they're everywhere. moustaches waxed up to the heavens tweed in 26° spring weather.
my going theory now is that this style of hipster is just an inevitable symptom of gentrification at any point in history. assume when Londinium was first becoming a metropolis it was beset by moustachioed men in pinstripe toga with pocket sundials. twats.
#red said#it's possible that my kneejerk reaction to hipsters is itself a 2012 hangover#BUT. COUNTERPOINT. I feel exactly as strongly about the previous rounds of Gentrification Symptoms#which is to say: a proliferation of grey-decor coffee shops with industrial lighting fittings selling £4 coffees (~6 years ago)#an onrush of pricy vintage shops and independent art galleries (~4 years ago)#a rise of plant shops and plant themed cafes all decorated with endless monstera (~2 years ago)#and the current realisation that i can't fucking get a fryup in more than 3 places on this street bc everywhere is a goddamn brunch spot#selling £8.50 eggs on toast#meanwhile most of the independent grocers are shutting there's no more greasy spoons#oh and rent in the area has Literally Doubled at the lowest end. a 2 bed used to be in the 450-600 pcm range#now almost everything even the kind of dive i was in for £550 is £1k+ a month#instead of building more affordable housing they're building more student housing#and the vibe has changed. like ppl used to be extremely drunk and high but also very nice and i never felt unsafe here#that's still true but it's getting less true

Funny Games (1997)
"Why are you doing this to us?"
"Why not?"
#funny games#1997#austrian cinema#horror imagery#blood tw#michael haneke#susanne lothar#ulrich mühe#arno frisch#frank giering#stefan clapczynski#doris kunstmann#christoph bantzer#wolfgang glück#susanne meneghel#monika von zallinger#although it's been on my to watch list for a long long time‚ this is also exactly the kind of film that I'd never take any particular#effort towards finding‚ content to spend years saying 'oh yeah i really should watch that'. so I'm most grateful to @bimbobussy for taking#the initiative and providing me with a copy; years and years of interest in film and in horror have meant that i was more than familiar#with the plot‚ the layout‚ the fourth wall breaks‚ and that might have been something subconsciously putting me off getting round to this#but im really glad i did. what an experience. my prior knowledge didn't feel like a hinderence; instead it leant an awful expectation to#the earlier scenes‚ allowed for dreadful recognition of what was coming. and i still got played! the misdirection with the knife‚ dropped#in an early scene‚ the planting of a seed of an idea that's there just to be subverted‚ a blackly comic bit of sleight of hand.#Haneke fills the film with such subversions: it's in the 4th wall breaks‚ the first of which is brief and subtle enough to go nearly#unnoticed‚ but which build in defiance of audience expectation to become outright challenges to the viewer‚ a kind of accusation of#complicity in the horrors unfolding; and then again‚ those horrors: Haneke actually keeps most of the violence offscreen and for all its#reputation for shocking horror‚ you actually see very little; except for the aftermath of that violence‚ which we do see‚ which we're left#to sit with for an uncomfortably long time‚ another accusation perhaps‚ or simply acknowledgement that the worst can sometimes be for those#left behind‚ the witnesses and the mourners. something very like genius at work here‚ a troubling masterpiece on violence and its impact

y'know what though, as much as we've been stressed to all fuck and complained about that a lot on here, we have been doing better at like, finding things to enjoy and trying to acknowledge when good things happen. it's just that we have a tendency to just write out vent posts while we're really stressed but then forget to post anything about the good things but like, we are acknowledging them in our brain at least
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#happy posting#<- specifically because I'm putting stuff in the tags#I need to get round to stuff like posting an update about our plants over on our plant sideblog#because holy shit you should see what our physalis looks like now. it suddenly got loads of new leaves and it's incredible#we also finally prepared for the summer properly for once and even if we didn't do everything we meant to it's still better than nothing#there's also a really specific early summer vibe at the moment that I'm kind of enjoying#like it's similar to the vibe from this time last year and I like it#I think maybe our brain likes the extra sunlight from the longer days#and like the sun rose not too long ago and when I stepped out of our room to get something the light was all warm and golden#it felt kind of cosy and peaceful and I remember this time last year when I'd get ready for bed at about this time#and the light would be like that and it felt kinda magical

Augh the missed pun..
Beehaviour.
Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.
You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?
So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?
So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?
#Oh my god#Onn Core#Bee Things#If I wasn't allergic to stings I would have def become a keeper#Love Bees but I would rather softly protect them from afar#I plant bee-friendly things#Our nursery has a bunch of bumblebee and honeybee hives behind their greenhouses. Every year I go and take photos of their bumbles#Fat Bottomed Girls Make the Rocking World Go Round~

Ahh yes…season of sadness (the sun is completely set by 6pm)
#fizzy rambles#i swear i’m like a little plant sometimes#it rains all day and it’s painfully dark at night and i’m sad and lethargic bc there’s not enough sunlight#…pretty sure i’m just describing seasonal depression…#actually i’m depressed year-round it’s just worse in winter
