For anyone curious about me, this is my current big plant project.

It's an 18x18x24 ExoTerra tropical terrarium (vivarium) for my ferns and micro-orchids, started in November 2022.
Imreally frustrated with the practice swatch for learning the crochet moss stitch.

I learned the stitch just fine, but I cant figure out how I'm losing a stitch each row.

It has to be somewhere when I'm turning at the beginning of a new row.

Rafflesia hasseltii: a plant seen more by tigers than people. Watching this flower open by night was the closest thing to magic:

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the Epstein bill by unanimous consent.

The bill will automatically pass once it's delivered to the Senate and will then advance to Trump's desk for him to sign — possibly as early as this evening.

Hmm.
NEW: Schumer confirms he'll move to pass the Epstein resolution in the Senate tonight by unanimous consent.

"We have an opportunity to get this bill done today and have it on the president's desk to be signed into law tonight."

It's been 11 months but I'm finally finishing up processing on my South Africa photos. This one is from up in the Drakensberg Mountains - so much interesting flora (and potential fauna) contributing to this view of the landscape. #Flora #NaturePhotography 🌿

I love the videos of someone pretending to be an evil villain's assistant or something and they're just super sassy about everything. Just makes me giggle.

The way I rotate which hobby I'm going to hyper focus like a lazy-susan.

Finished the leafy bit of my Woobles snail.

Gonna start the cat tomorrow probably.

Honestly, practicing the basic crochet stitches on my own on scrap yarn first has helped sooo much in being able to finish these.

My side effects from Spironolactone are flawless skin and constant dehydration.

I'm in the mood for a bit of a fucked up kdrama, and they keep paywalling them behind the one streaming service I wont subscribe to. Booo.

bet it feels good as fuck to be a fungus using enzymes to break down detritus in order to absorb the nutrients

Syntrichia ruraliformis, a lovely type of moss that grows in coastal sand dunes.

Today we found something magical, deep in the wild green heart of Sumatra: Rafflesia kemumu in full bloom. One of the world's largest flowers, to see this extremely rare species in full bloom is truly special.

I attatched the shell on upside down, but she's done! Happy lil snail.

I also got the leaf, so I'll have to work on that next.

There is truly nothing as juicy as drama in a hobby community you’re not in.

It's slime mold and jelly fungus time! This might be witch's butter or Dacrymyces chrysospermus. It's from a park down the street that I took my dog to today. 🌱

I'm following both the downloadable pdf pattern AND the bideos for this Wooble crochet kit, and still have to improvise slightly in this one part. 😂

At least I have the right amount of stitches now??

Ngl, I think the video tutorial skipped something between two videos.

It's been ages since I've done any painting, but now I have time. Here is a WIP on my firewood box. There's a little cat in the design, because Helen loved to sleep in this box.

Caswell-Massey reformulated their Almond hand lotion and I'm going to be so disappointed if it doesnt smell the same anymore.

Moss requires way more light to grow indoors than you would think.
