Hey there, potential follower!

A heads-up that I repost A LOT because a lot of things interest me and I think a lot of things are worth sharing.

You may find some common themes you're not equally excited about, so mute keywords and accounts as needed.

And you just know there were haters going "I mean it was cool when they made that one demon explode, but to manufacture an entire rival boy band just to have an epic demon battle on stage is A Bit Much"

Every time I hear "Your Idol" from Kpop Demon Hunters I think how WILD the production value of this performance (including the song after) must have seemed to the fans.

Like this was a FREE concert?!

Lycoris aurea. This seems to be the only Lycoris that is not winter hardy in my garden. The bulbs survive, but the winter foliage is destroyed by freezing temperatures. It only flowers if the foliage is protected in a cool corner of the greenhouse. 🌱

Spidery, golden yellow flowers on a leafless stalk emerging from dry soil in a black plastic nursery pot.

Twilight orange sky tonight on a dark sandy beach with light & dark ripples and a meandering stream left by the tide retreatung out to sea. A silhouette of a woman's figure is visible with the wet sand reflecting the orange sky behind her. Cape Cod

Something I miss about twitter is seeing what fiction is hot right now. I think I need to be following more authors/publishing folks, anyone have a good list or reco?

What do you mean, “that’s a weird tape pattern to use for spices”? You’re a weird tape pattern.

My hand holding a clear glass bottle of homemade ground “pumpkin pie spice”, a reddish brown powder. The label is handwritten on light-pink washi tape with a pattern of neuro-lab stuff: a brain image, a neuron, a microscope, and an ephys trace

Six Lime scooters haphazardly parked in a way that blocks the entire multi-use path in a park (you can believe they were not blocking the path a few minutes later)

The other herbs to consider are: dill, cilantro, thyme, rosemary, mint. My chives were wild growing so I assume they're ok, and greens (lettuce, kale, chard spinach) ok

Aaaand 4-5 jalapenos are officially fruited. Its hot as hell right now but later in the week forecasted to get cold nights. Guess I'll bring them inside at night and back out in the day.

Thinking of doing that for the peppers, lemongrass, and basil. What else dies below 10C? 🌱
