when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

Same. My brain never outgrew the pace of blogging-style communication. Discord and chat energy is really tough to maintain!

Nervous System puzzles are my go-to gift every year (including last year when my family and I gave the same owl puzzle to each other lol). @franzanth.bsky.social art puzzle is a complete no-brainer

At first he was like, oh, is that noise even coming from inside? It has since devolved to banging on the wall, negotiations, pleading to an uncaring invertebrate terrorist

For the first time, husband is being subjected to the worst tortures known to man… loose cricket chirping under the fridge…

lol, tbf at this point many are seedlings (my husband and I like to grow from seed). The seedlings themselves start seeding within a year or two under ideal conditions, so it begins to ramp up pretty fast

He also collects old bottles that held liquids, as well as cacti/succulents. Which makes sense to me because cacti and succulents are like barbed wire that are also bottles that hold liquids.

ITS DIFFERENT OKAY. Because this is clearly, understandably, the best

Re: petard, in a major hoisting twist, I just realized my dear friend will be visiting me in a few weeks... this will be their first time seeing me since I went insane about plants. They are probably going to look at our several hundred? thousands? of rare succulents with this same incredulous eye

Right? this same friend also collects glass bottles. I had no idea that was a thing either. He has some gorgeous bottles from the 1800s, some of which are the only ones still in existence since they're naturally frail or were meant to be thrown. I had no idea this stuff existed.

lmaooo. TBH I'm trying to get over to his house at some point to see the full collection because how do you store it!!!?? or is his house just really impenetrable and it's all displayed all over the fence and stuff lol. okay i need to stop being rude but it's so funny, barbed wire stickerbook
November 13, 2025 at 4:42 AM
That's exactly it. When I was looking at some of the barbed wire pix and hearing the passion I was like yes, i get it, i see the vision

I have to be real, the first time he showed me antique barbed wire though that wiped the smile off my face... it is legitimately beautiful and an art form and I can see why people are into it. I have deep respect for all human creations.

But also. "Barbed wire collection", lol
November 13, 2025 at 4:31 AM
I got this friend who loves barbed wire, collects barbed wire, attends barbed wire conventions. It's SO fucking hilarious to me because it sounds so fake, but apparently is real. I involuntarily start smiling whenever he talks about it; it's so rude of me, but I can't help it.

Cycads have been around since before the dinosaurs, they're a pre-flowering lineage that produces cones. Plants are dioecious, either male or female. This is because of woke.

headcanon: they are fucking but they do not like each other. they both have dayjobs and are constantly stressed and self-medicating because they've broken the law repeatedly but haven't yet succeeded in stealing anything.

Been doing an exercise program for about two months. It usually starts off with doing "cat cows" and "downward dogs" and after weeks of this shit i've finally decided that Cat Cow and Downward Dog are shitty jewel thieves
