okay but for REAL we as a society need to do more with the fact that Wen Ning is to Wei Wuxian as Su Minshan is to Jin Guangyao. willing to kill and die and betray his entire sect for a guy who gave him one (1) compliment. icons, the both of them.

It took me until 3pm to change out of my sleeping clothes, but I've now got 5 eggplants (4 black beauty and 1 ping tung) and a row of 8 tomato plants transplanted into the front bed. Three are pear tomatoes (2 yellow, 1 chocolate) and five are Heinz 1350VF tomatoes. The pears are on each end and one in the middle with the goal of giving them a lot more room once the determinate processing tomatoes are finished and taken out. There were so many more worms in this bed than when I initially put it in last year, so I must be doing something right despite it still being mostly heavy clay. The combo of loosening up the soil (while removing fill rock and zoysia bits) plus some roots that reached deeper than grass helped significantly I think.
I've got six Roma VF tomatoes and two clumps of purple basil to transplant into one of the raised beds in back and then I'm calling it good until tomorrow.
Otherwise in the garden, the nasturtium are up as well as the dill and the beets I planted two week ago. Not pictured are the Bachelor's buttons which are also just starting to peek out of their container.

Humans are unstoppable...Until they aren’t.
I’m not the most eloquent writer, but I’ve had this idea kicking around for a while and figured I’d put it out into the universe.
A lot of the basis for the “humans are space orcs” stuff is the idea that we’re pretty durable compared to many species, yeah? When it comes to physical trauma, we can bounce back from most things that don’t kill us outright, especially given the benefit of hypothetical space-age technology, and adrenaline is one heck of a drug when it comes to functioning under stress.
But that doesn’t make us unkillable, and even though we can survive debilitating injuries and not die from shock, it doesn’t mean it’s fun. Dying of shock sucks, but at least it’s probably quick.
So - Imagine a ship, adrift in space, slowly being drawn into a star or something. In order to save the ship, someone has to repair the hyper-quantum-relay-majig on the hull or in the engine or whatever. Bit of a problem though- there’s a ton of deadly, deadly radiation (Wrath of Khan style) or poisonous fumes or, I dunno, electrical current, between the crew and the repair. Like, enough to kill most species instantly, so the crew is just like, ‘welp, guess we’ll die then’. But then.
BUT THEN
They ask the human. Because everyone’s heard the stories - you’re basically unkillable, right? Could you survive long enough in there to fix it? And their human goes real quiet for a second, but still says ‘Yeah, I could fix it’. And the rest of the crew is like, ‘Whaaaaaa, it won’t kill you?’ and the human repeats “I can fix it” (which isn’t an answer, but no one catches that, not yet at least), so they send ‘em in. And the human fixes it, they come back, the ship flies to safety, and the crew is thrilled to survive. If the human is a little quiet, well, they’re entitled after pulling off a miracle. Everyone else is just excited to get to the nearest station’s bar to tell their very own human story, cuz, ‘those crazy humans, amiright?’.
The good mood keeps up until the human is late for their next shift. At first it’s just faint unease, but- but they earned a bit of a lie-in, right? No reason to begrudge them some extra rest, even if it is a little weird for them to oversleep. They’ll be fine. Humans are always fine.
(Right?)
(…Wrong.)
- What is… help. Help!-
- ake up! You have t-
- been days. You need sleep, you-
- nother transfusion. We could-
- out of sedatives!-
A week later, the crew finally reaches the station. They stumble into the bar, haggard and haunted. And over the next months and years a new rumor about humans starts to make its way through space. A rumor unlike any before.
‘Be careful with your humans’ it whispers. ‘Their strength is not always a blessing. Be sure they don’t do something they can’t come back from, because when a human dies… they die slowly.’

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

adult hood is just
*buys a half gallon of milk* *uses it all within a few days* *decided to buy a gallon of milk to not run out before next shopping trip* *uses a teaspoon of milk that week and it goes bad somehow* *buys a quart of milk instead so it won’t go bad* *uses it in one day* *buys a quart and a half gallon of milk because the gallon was too much but the half gallon was not enough* *only uses the half gallon* *gives up on milk for a few days in general* *buys a gallon of milk again just to tempt fate* *somehow uses all of it without realizing and then has to eat sad cereal with like the 5 drops of remaining milk*
#as someone else said i keep powdered milk on hand for emergencies#but i also routinely freeze aliquots of milk if i'm not going to use all of it up#if it's not skim than the fats can clump up but it still works fine for cooking#also if the milk has soured but is still smooth than you can use it in place of buttermilk for pancakes and waffles and stuff#(and stick those in the freezer if necessary)

Donna should get the Doctor's number and be allowed to call the TARDIS randomly in future episodes for no reason. never aliens. no more aliens for Donna. always just some bullshit like "my mum told me the pink blouse makes me look washed out????" and the Doctor has to be like "girl! she's crazy! but also I'm actively being shot at right now so I will have call you back"

#the first time i went to ikea i bought a couple of those bags to carry my purchases home in#the second time i went to ikea i bought ten of those bags as part of my purchase#that was roughly 15 years ago or so?#i still have most of them and use them all the time#two are in the shed for yardwork (one slit up the sides to carry branches/brush)#several are storing extra blankies and towels from kitten fostering days#one is suspended from the basement ceiling and stuffed with saved plastic bottles and jars

this is purely for fun and I've certainly been guilty of a few of these things myself in my years of fic writing. don't be weird in the notes and don't use this as an excuse to insult someone's writing.
#older/younger X only slightly edges out taller/shorter and blond/brunette#it is so rarely relevant in any way#and reduces the character from a whole person to just an attribute#which i don't think is what most authors are intending because it makes those characters much less engaging to readers

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽
#breakfast hash: precooked diced potatoes and onions fried in a pan with butter and spices with a couple of eggs cracked over top#if i'm feeling fancy i'll add other veggies like peppers or mushrooms or spinach#breakfast is generally my heartiest meal#i need it to make it through the day without issues

I know it is wrong and I promise that I am working on it but there is something so gut wrenchingly funny about my 3 year old screaming “EFFIN BEACH!” every time she’s asked about vacation that I do have to walk away and cry tears of laughter every single time.

JGY destroys a sect for the death of JRS with no repercussions either materially or reputationally, but people don't understand why JC couldn't stand with WWX after he killed multiple Jin cultivators and even JZX. Do you think JGS was nice??

I am once again thinking about digging holes
It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification
I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

It should be illegal to require that any device or software connect to the internet just to run. I shouldn't need to log in with microsoft to open any of their programs on my local computer. All games should be playable without access to an online server. All media you pay for should be downloadable to local disk as a raw file and if they don't like that because they know you'll share it and upload it, tough shit. They took your money already, they'll live.
#this would be one reason i have to test play any console game now by checking it out from the library first#i still need to coordinate it with checking out a hotspot as well because nothing comes playable anymore without a giant patch#but i can do that in advance of playing#if it requires internet *while playing* then it becomes a 'not for me' game and is removed from my list#and i haven't wasted any money finding that out (just time)#if they accurately put that info on the box instead of cya-ing it on everything then i wouldn't have to do it this way either#honestly it still saves me money since i'm only actually buying games that i want to play repeatedly#which is good for me but bad for supporting the games that i enjoyed playing but don't necessarily want to replay
