When the sunlight gets caught behind or between petals or leaves and makes them appear to glow against a dark background. :)
All photos mine, unedited apart from the yellow thistle and the cluster of red leaves, which were taken in RAW format and edited from there to match what I remembered.

she's blocked me!
& she has to realize that I cited one example. Imagine using that one thing to reinforce your confirmation bias then run away with it. How on earth do you think that this makes your opinions objective in any way?

Massive Anti-Trans Blocklist
Hi! One of my friends accidentally rb’d from a TERF and I ended up in a giant rabbit hole of anti-trans accounts. Here they are so you can go block them! They’re in no particular order, and this certainly doesn’t encapsulate all of them, but I sure did run into a lot.

what if kronkk was turned radblr fanfic (featuring aftonfamilyvalues, oatmeal, and more)
“gyns we got a problem” folx said, her voice quaking as the others stared, “kronkk is going to get the button that will either let her delete all men or all radfems in 24 hours”
claps began to fill the space before folx stopped them with a look, “but someone put a spell on her and she’s reverted back to a TRA”
gasps and screams filled the room
“how!” “we’re going to die!” “I don’t want to lose rowling!” “nooooo!!”
“quiet!” folx commanded, “we have 24 hours to peak her. everyone xx fingers in”
the group gathered in a circle stuck their hands out together and to a shout of “vagina” lifted their hands into the air and scattered away to their respective vehicles on their way to kronkk
kronkk led the parade chanting “transwomen are women” she felt like such a good person. she didn’t know what it meant but that was okay, it couldn’t be wrong if all the good guys were chanting it with her. from the side of the parade route in came a women with leg hair running towards her “kronkk it’s me! femmesandhoney!”
kronkk narrowed her eyes she didn’t recognize the name kronkk.
“transwomen are men!” she yelled desperation in her voice
“terf!” kronkk yelled pointing her finger, not knowing how to block and stay safe in real life, she did the only thing she could, she turned and ran away.
unsteady on her ankles, kronkk turned a corner out a breath. from the shadows emerged a figure, a beautiful woman, menalez
“kronkk I don’t want drama with you, you have to wake up, women are adult human females”
kronkk screamed and took off running again. kronkk ran until she spotted a taxi, flagging it down she climbed inside, “take me home! 555 fifth avenue”
the taxi sped off as the driver noticed her stressed expression, “what’s wrong?”
“the terfs are after me,” kronkk explained, “and they are evil”
“what do you mean by that?” the driver asked politely.
kronkk stuttered, “they want genocide. they let men kill transwomen”
“do you think women have the kind of power over men to make them do or not do that?”
kronkk gasped, “you’re one of them!” pulling open the taxi door, kronkk rolled out into oncoming traffic, luckily they were at a red light.
opabinia let out a sigh as she watched kronkk run away, pulling out her walkie-talkie she spoke into it “gyns she’s on the move, heading towards 5th, over and out”
“copy” hundreds of voices whispered back
hours later, kronkk was shaking and clutching her passport, as she headed onto the plane, she had to get away, she had been stopped by so many radfems all day, even her own roommate, so now she had to leave the country.
as kronkk sat in her seat, by the emergency exit, a woman and baby sat down next to her.
the woman smiled politely, “I’m kelly” kronkk gave a smile back “I’m redacted” as the plane started to go down the runway.
as soon as the fasten seatbelt sign came off the kelly woman pulled out a bowl of oatmeal to eat and the baby began to cry, loudly.
“what do you think about crying babies on planes?” kelly asked, a mouth full of oatmeal
that phrase sounded familiar to kronkk, but why? kronkk suddenly noticed the onesie on the baby it said “I love my mommy terfectly” with dino print.
kronkk let out a scream threw open the emergency exit, grabbed the baby and tossed it out. the kelly woman dove after the baby and they disappeared into the clouds.
the rest of the plane ride kronkk was shaken. when she finally landed in Toronto Canada, she was glad to be abroad and far from the united states.
“no one’s peaked her yet?” folx hissed in frustration
“we need a plan b” cisthoughtcrime said slamming her hand onto a table
“we need to kill her! the old kronkk would understand, she wouldn’t want us all to die!” lavenderfeminist said in agreement.
hoorays of agreement rang out
“no!” folx hissed “no one is killing kronkk. she’s my best friend and I love her”
“awh!” blackswallowtailbutterfly smiled “I always shipped you two!”
sapphic-schizo pushed blackswallowtailbutterfly to the ground, “no one cool ships folx and kronkk, get a life!”
“enough!” folx yelled “we only have a few hours left. we have to trust the others have this. the best radfems are on it!”
maitakecat struggled to put blorbortion onto her shoulders. they collapsed onto the ground as blorbortion tried to unlatch the window lock for the 12th time
“you have to hold steady!” blorbortion said as they collapsed into the summer snow, it was always snowing in canada
“you try it then miss expert!” maitakecat hissed. why was breaking into kronkk’s hotel room so difficult.
stana dressed as hotel butler knocked on the door. kronkk opened the door.
“Can I interest you in the views of radical feminism?”
the door slammed in her face.
kronkk turned to hear screams from her neighbor’s hotel room “intruders!” and “sorry wrong room!”
kronkk closed her curtains, turned off the light and went to sleep. she awoke to the sound of angelic music as god entered the room, her hair glowing
“redacted, I have here two buttons, one that will delete all men and one that will delete all radfems”
kronkk narrowed her eyes, “how do I know this is real”
“I thought you might say that, I brought practice buttons, this is centered on a 50 mile radius in a random city, go ahead test it”
kronkk tentatively reached forward and clicked the delete all radfem button. with a flash an image appeared in the room. a woman aftonfamilyvalues collapsed to the ground dead, with her posters of severus snape and silco in her bedroom behind her.
“ready for the real button?” the god asked
kronkk nodded and approached the real buttons, her hand hovered over the delete all radfem button.
then the hotel door opened abruptly and a voice filled the space, “beloved?”
something about that calm and wise voice made kronkk turn towards it, her hand still outstretched.
The woman walked towards her as kronkk remained frozen. something about her she didn’t understand, but she couldn’t look away. the woman and her were now staring deep into each other’s eyes, as the woman cupped her face with her hand, stroking the side of her cheek gently.
“beloved this isn’t you”
the woman leaned in for a kiss and their lips met for a passionate kiss.
kronkk suddenly awoke from the spell, with a gasp she pulled back and slammed her hand down on the delete all men button.
cheers erupted from the hallway, as folx and other radfems ran in. tears were streaming down folx’s face as she embraced kronkk into a bear hug. radicallyaligned smiled sadly as she backed away and out of the room, knowing if they ever kissed again kronkk would be put back under that spell. her love would only protect her if they never were together again.
the end
okay the taxi part was brilliant, that had me laughing. i enjoyed another fic featuring my corpse

What do you think of this? I think I mostly agree. I just feel bad about number 2. It leaves me demoralized. I shouldn't get hung up on whether its called rape or not.
I totally understand the need for a word that describes the sexual assault of women by men. I understand why rape is poised to simply be at that. I do not begrudge that. As a woman of course I get it.
But for people assaulted by women like me, "you weren't even really raped" is a common taunt. Many people treat it like its no big deal and I'm stupid for acting hurt by my experience.
So when people are eager to tell us its just sexual assault and not rape its hard to trust they aren't trying to say its lesser and stupid. Even if that is not their intent they often refuse to acknowledge people use it that way and just treat me like I'm a hysterical bitch.
And then there is the fact according to them I cannot call my abuser a rapist. she is just a woman according to these people, she didn't do anything so bad it deserves that title.
She agrees words can be a weapon I just wish there was acknowledgement its also a weapon against us loser "sexual assault" victims too.
Ah, I'm so sorry anon. Yeah, I completely get you on all fronts here. Super long post so putting a cut.
So on Point 2. I do agree that women need to be able to talk about male sexual violence and I see why they want to reserve the word rape to apply just to them. So I don't have an issue with that.
But I agree with you anon, the people who are neutrally trying to push to maintain that differentiation don't understand (and sometimes don't care) the degree to which "it's not even rape lolol" is a taunt that gets used against SA victims. They also put no effort into understand why people DO use it as a taunt and why it works.
So I think even if their insistence is based only on principle it can come across as really callous, and it's often worded in very stand-offish ways. So I do wish if there is going to an insistence on differentiating rape and sexual assault, then there should also be a concurrent emphasis on not belittling sexual assault and not treating it as something of "vastly lesser magnitude" (to use a phrase I often see thrown around). People probably don't do that because they think it's obvious (I'm hoping) but it's clearly not obvious to a lot of people, and without that disclaimer it does embolden those who use the "it's not rape" thing as an insult/mockery.
I also wish then more people would SAY "sexual assault and rape" and not just "rape" when discussing issues relevant to both, because a lot of anti-sexual violence stuff focuses on the word rape even when its clearly meant to be broader (even if just discussing women like you; obviously not trying to say all discussions of SA/rape have to be inclusive of male victims. But then don't word certain things to make it sound like it CANT include us either :X)
All of that said.... I do have the same hang-up as you for some reason. I'm okay with discussing my experience as sexual assault and not rape. But... the idea that these people think my rapist shouldn't be called a rapist makes me incredibly angry and upset almost past the point of reason. I've definitely had just very very strong emotional responses so that.
Another concern I have is for things like statutory rape or corrective rape? Those are established and understood terms. I think it does REALLY bother me if someone were to try to say women who assault bisexual/gay men/boys are not committing corrective rape. I get why, but it feels like trying to take away the 'hate crime's aspect of it. Maybe we need more words for sexual violence but I think we have to balance that with the need to maintain clear and recognizable language that all members of the public can interact with, too.
Sorry this ended up a huge response. I'll tackle the rest of the linked post as quickly as possible (you know I have essay writing disease so uhm... anyway).
Point 1. Okay cool thanks I guess. But saying "men do suffer from sexual assault" doesn't quite address the real point of contention. Most of the people attacking male victims acknowledge there might be suffering to the experience. But they think such suffering is either trivial (something that should have minor effect on the individual) or irrelevant (does not deserve mention or discussion), or more often both.
This is why there's so much eye-rolling "okay so? get over it" in response to female-on-male sexual assault from both men and women. People are extremely comfortable with telling us that it's NOT something life-changing or "justifiably" traumatic, and that it's a completely different type or level of suffering (pain, degradation) than what women endure.
Since October I've had people tell me it's a "Different level of magnitude", that it's "comparing a paper cut to a gunshot", and similar, the point being that the sexual violence boys/men face is nothing but a minor inconvenience and does not deserve seriousness or sensitivity . I know the original poster feels bad about it now, but I do have to point out there were hundreds of people agreeing with the idea that SA against men is "Bad but not horrific, and it's bad to treat it as a horrific because that diminishes how people think about Real sexual assault". The notion that we don't face real degradation is also incredibly prevalent. The original post was bad enough and lots of the responses were clear rape apologia, but this one is always going to stick in my mind as perfectly illustrating a sentiment I'd always felt being expressed but never seen said written out so casually. Like imagine really writing "Being sexually assaulted 'sucks' but isn't the worst thing in the world".
I agree with the linked post that there's other levels and factors for women when they are assaulted irt to both potential pregnancy and the trauma of living in a misogynistic culture after the fact, but I think many people take that to mean sexual violence against men truly is something that should be ignored by both the victim and society at large. I also think people underestimate how much all sexual assault victims, including men/boys, feel hated, ruined, and reviled by the culture at large. Again I completely understand why for women there's so many things that are retraumatizing, but I think there's this idea that for men/boys our trauma ends with the act and then we're free, but that's just not true either. I push through talking about all of this because I think it's important and someone has to, but that doesn't mean all the things that get said to me or about male victims is harmless and has no effect.
On Point 3. Yeah I agree, feminists don't owe anything to male SA victims, even when the perpetrator is female. But I am bothered by how often this is used as a shield to actively participate in sexual assault apologia. Yeah feminists don't have to do anything for males, but people don't have a moral responsibility to just one cause. Or in other words - yeah your feminist activism has no reason to focus on males or their suffering in any way, but if you do go out of your way to harass male victims or belittle their sexual assault you're still a shit person. It'd be fine for me to declare myself an anti-race activist and only work on issues related to race and xenophobia, and prioritize learning and caring about those issues, but as a person and moral agent that wouldn't give me carte blanche to ignore or belittle other forms of discrimination.

If you're like me and happen to like water drops on plants, I highly recommend taking a longer look at the fresh vegetable section on your next grocery run. :)
Photos are mine, unedited. The two near the bottom were taken with a phone camera in a different store. All the rest were taken with an Olympus handheld camera whose brightness I turned down. Sadly that camera broke in the cold a long time ago. Haven't have a phone camera that's ever worked as well. I have a digital SLR, but that's an expensive piece of equipment that was my college graduation present. I don't take that out unless I've planned for it.
This one's not in the grocery store; it's from the first time I helped make borscht with my grandmother. :)
