My indoor growing space is bursting at the seams with mountain mint and some very leggy tomatoes I’m babysitting for a friend while she’s on vacation. The weather has been relatively pleasant though, so I’ve gotten a few more things potted and several more trays going now as well....
That looks incredible! So envious of your skills. As for me, I have been trying desperately to grow a basil plant indoors. I’ve tried many times in the past, but they always end up with those little mites. I purchased neem oil spray too, and still they got to it. My partner said they saw some worms in the most recent plant, like transparent worms almost? so we got rid of that one too. I am going to grow from seed next time I think. I feel like I have just had bad luck and gotten infested plants or something, so maybe growing from seed will be better? I don’t even know. I just so badly want to be able to walk to the corner of my kitchen and grab some fresh herbs. Ina Garten has a whole ass garden of herbs, can’t I have one plant? lol! I will be trying again though. Wish me luck, I will absolutely need it.

Yeah Nymphia was phenomenal. Her runway package this season was just next level. The cast was great all season. I love that Megami had the most natural redemption, so lovely to see. And also to see Sapphira show what a god damn talent she is. And morphine and mirage and yeah just pretty much everyone besides dawn and q were nothing but a joy all season. I live for the Plane Amanda feud, even if amanda has had a hard time letting it go in real life. Here’s hoping AS9 is as fantastic!
Dawn is pretty bitchy in the confessionals, I never warmed up to her. Q was such a great designer and I’m glad she was around to display her clear talent. However, I found her to be terrible at everything else. And she was def kept when she shouldn’t have been. I don’t hate either of them at all. Just don’t like em that much ya know? lol
Had a busy weekend, my brother was in town with his family so spent the last 48 hours with them. Love them, but they are pretty exhausting lol. This week at work is looking to be pretty chill, so all in all, not bad. Hope everyone has a fantastic week ahead!
Scientists have a long seemingly treasured history of trolling everything with their naming of stuff. Not a scientist, so I can’t confirm. But from the outside it sure looks like they have a lot of fun with it.
So interesting to learn about the ecological impact of cicadas. Imagine being a bird right now in Illinois. They don’t even know how good they’re gonna eat this summer. I’m happy for them lol
Great article on a terrible event, thank you for sharing. So sad for his family and the families of all the other victims. And even more sad for the poc who are being actively victimized every day. Wishing them and all of us some peace and joy in this life. Acab.
So today is my birthday, and I’m wanting to cook myself something special! I have carte blanch to make a huge mess that my partner will clean, so I’m rearing to throw down. What are your fav celebratory meals? Could be simple, could be complicated, could be expensive, could be cheap af. Just looking for some inspiration....

Cooking! I’ve tried to post in that community a couple times with a bit of success. I’m going to commit to posting more though. But you’re so right. I love people nerding out over the niche things they love. Thanks for the encouraging post!
What must it be like? To be so immensely mediocre, and think you are ordained by a deity? I imagine it’s actually a lot scarier than they lead on. And that’s why they freak out about literally nothing. They have no idea what the fuck is going on around them, but they are just aware enough to know those around them expect them to lead. They are dumb animals acting out of pure flight instincts, but they’re privileged enough that the systems around them won’t let them fail. It’s hilarious and maddening.
There was a point I was convinced he would never be charged for anything. It’s not enough, but it’s still much better than the worst case scenario, so I’ll take it.
I agree with this entirely, but I think the missing context is the mental health of our admins. Not to mention the sheer number of hours of unpaid labor they do, they are subjected to some heinous things. I don’t want them to sacrifice themselves for us. I will follow beehaw if they leave, I already have another lemmy account to see a wider scope of the fediverse, but beehaw is too special to abandon.
Lol. California is huge and incredibly diverse. I live in San Diego. I can walk to 4 different grocery stores in less than half a mile. Additionally, I have a weekly farmers market down the street I can visit. Not to mention the Ethiopian market and Mexican market that are an additional couple blocks away. Wherever you were in California only represents that specific area, and not the state in total by any means. I’m sure the area you visited has plenty to be desired as far as walkabaility, but I’m sure it’s an issue divided along rural vs urban lines, not a state by state thing. Please don’t contribute to misinformation. Making a sweeping generalization about a huge and incredibly populous state only adds fuel to the misinformation fire.

Absolutely. It’s all so calculated, that there is suddenly a surge in popularity for a woman candidate. They can espouse all of their typical anti-social policies all while hiding behind claims of modernity. The murdochs are savvy, even if she ends up the vp on trump’s ticket, she is something they can always point to as a reason that republicans aren’t archaic monsters. And their voters will believe it and use it as their own shield.
