@rowyn impressive! but maybe don’t push so hard so quickly, Cassie?

human confusion about plants 

@twistylittlepassages yeah i mean tbf thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum does not exactly roll off the tongue—i have to re look it up every time

i guess the lesson here is to just try to pick common names that have nothing to do with the scientific name haha

human confusion about plants 

@twistylittlepassages yeah houseplant common names are absolutely rife with taxonomic misclassifications—there are two plants commonly called “split leaf philodendron” and neither of them are philodendrons 😂 (they are also in totally different families from each-other, for bonus confusion)

@gaditb I’m pretty sure Bram Stoker’s Dracula doesn’t say that vampires need permission to enter other peoples homes (tho he is a rich asshole who uses that fact to prey on people so like, the vibes are there)

food, recipe request 

@artsyhonker the timing hasn’t worked out for me yet but i’ve always wanted to try making mock apple pie with them: thekitchn.com/green-tomato-pie

re: about content warnings 

@Lady @akjcv yeah idk i just dont talk to people who think they can noncon exposure therapy me

@ElopsineFlotsam@blorbo.social @xieliansbignaturals oh wow thats gutsy! i think if i was an employee there i’d be too boggled to even try to stop him haha

i’m also reminded of the lobster truck car chase that happened in boston a few years back: web.archive.org/web/2019121823 pretty clearly a crime of impulse more than a well thought out plan but like, apparently a truckfull of lobster is worth like 30k which is a pretty nice haul!

@xieliansbignaturals i mean, considering the avocado market is controlled by drug cartels and someone once stole 18.7 million dollars worth of maple syrup from the canadian government it doesnt feel THAT unreasonable to assume clamburglars are also a thing 😂

(also, tell your city council person you’re in favor of guaranteed income programs like this and that they should support the continuation of the program)

people! The city is trialing a program to give pregnant residents a no strings $1000/mo guaranteed income for 18 months and they still haven’t filled all the slots so if you know anyone who’s expecting and lives in Nicetown-Tioga, Strawberry Mansion, or Cobbs Creek who makes less than 100k please encourage them to apply: phillyjoybank.org

@maya thats wild, nowhere i attended had anything even remotely like that policy

@rowyn awwww i love honor getting a chance to get some validation & talk shop

re: food 

@pamela we indeed got some pumpkin cakes and a bottle of sparkling hawthorn juice to split, in addition to our produce & rice :)

a bit annoyingly, the box came exactly when it was originally scheduled for, despite them moving the pickup time wayyy earlier via text so i got up early for nothing

food (veg) 

@titania my sibling does that too!
