Saturdays are for naps.

Oh my god of course it's fine. It's ethical to buy secondhand or use the library or borrow from a friend or hear a song on the radio or whatever, you are good, I promise (I like this answer, and I often find the Ethicist tedious) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/m...

I also need to show off the trillium I saw today! This is on the West Tiger Mountain trail in Washington State. I'm pretty sure these are all trillium ovatum. 🌱

I picked my first wild mushrooms today! These are oysters. I originally thought they were angel wings; the physical appearance is rather similar. I cooked some with my dinner!! 🌱

NPR Tiny Desk Concerts are so good... This morning I'm listening to musicals and reminiscing about when I got to stage manage Sweeney Todd a while ago. Such an exquisite show! youtu.be/Dj5Y5VwhfHs?...

I've been learning ukulele this year and this morning I realized that if I actually memorized the base notes I could more easily remember chords. 🤦 Music theory y'all, it's helpful.

I found these mushrooms in the woods yesterday. I think they're agrocybe praecox or spring fieldcap! 🌱

Fascinating how some of the more pro voices in here are separating "the writing" from "the work," as if ceding tasks as important as research to a third party are going to do your "writing" any favors.

Can't stop thinking today about how Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm when he became president!!

Re: last repost, my depression is actually at its lowest level in years... It's taken a lot of work to get here!! But I am offended that the moment I get my head in order the federal government decides to sow chaos.

You can #GiveBig to #GeekGirlCon here to help us continue to celebrate and honor the legacies of underrepresented groups in science, technology, comics, arts, literature, game play, and game design. www.wagives.org/organization...

Omg how am I just learning today that Tessa Hulls' debut graphic novel epic Feeding Ghosts won a Pulitzer Prize!! This is so deserved, the book is exquisite.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service is such an odd duck... The first half of the film lacks context and is poorly edited, and the second half is campy, well paced, and just better! Honestly I think you could toss at least the first third of the film and be fine.

Okay so 🌱 folks, I have a theory on something that I'd love feedback on (I know I could Google lol). Is no dig in reaction to the French bio intensive method that was pushed maybe by this Brit named Alan Chadwick? And that's why Charles Dowding does his thing? I only just learned about Chadwick.

Seattle city council is so bizarre...seems to get worse every year too.

Something the AI stuff brings up for me is something I think it can be genuinely hard to understand, especially if you're young and still in school: there are so many cases where short cuts mean you truly cheat yourself, more than anyone else

I bought a single raspberry plant last year and it didn't really do much. I'm hoping it's happier here, with two more plants I bought last weekend. 🌱

It's not visible in the photo but my dog is laying on one of her fav toys. We both love spring! 🌱

I've been involved with GeekGirlCon since around 2017, and joined the board in 2022. It's the most fun con to be a part of, truly impeccable vibes. If you're in the PNW area and haven't been yet, please join us November 8-9! Passes are like half the cost of other cons or you could volunteer.

I picked up a new to me book on gardening this weekend and the amount of Bay Area woo woo is charming.

Happy plant sale day! If you're in the Seattle area, the Edmonds Floretum Garden Club has our annual sale from 9am-12pmish at United Methodist Church. Here's what I grew/propagated -- nearly everything we sell is grown by members! 🌱

Ready for the most adorable post on Reddit?

It's getting to be the end of tulip season! I think the varieties here are Gudoshnik Double (red and orange) and Double Late 'Double You' (pink). I also threw in a columbine stem and a couple of fringecups. 🌱

I'm really happy with how this mostly shady spot in the backyard is doing! It's a mix of mostly thimbleberry, hellebore, columbine, fringecup, and foxglove. Plus two weeds lol, creeping buttercup and knotted cranesbill.

The anemones I planted in January are about to bloom! 😲 I thought all the corns were eaten by squirrels... What a relief. 🌱
