If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from Star Wars or Transformers 🤖
HLN-A from ARK Servival Evolved. She's a round grey robot with a light blue glow in the center. She has little grey structures that radiate from the top half of the round main body.

Growing my running buffalo clover update! They're doing good so far; still no wild ones, but it's been raining a lot so haven't been out as much to look. 🌱

I present: one plant.
Thistle flower just about to bloom. It has spiked green leaves that end in redish points and the pink purple flower is barely starting to emerge in the center.

Yoooooo! We have a frog on the back porch!
A bumpy light green frog clinging to a leaf. He's wider than the leaf, so his toes curve around the leaf a little.

Looks like what I'm growing is starting to sprout! Still no luck finding a wild clover, but I'm keeping my eyes pealed. I probably need to find more parks to walk at with wooded areas 🌱

This evening in the community garden, we harvested some tart cherry! There's still soooooo much on the tree that's gonna need to be gathered when it ripens. 🌱

Gonna learn how to make cherry jam (hopefully).

Helped my grandma get some plants in for her place. I've been really productive 🌱
Hosta plants in a garden spot with dark mulch. There's three of them planted near a large bush. Four pots full of flowers and foliage sitting in a dark mulched garden spot between two driveways.

Ok, I can see the appeal of these now that I have one. It's really fun to see them move around to get sun and fold up like they're sleeping in the evenings. 🌱

It's been a weird week so I went to a garden in the city. Here are some of the irises they had blooming 🌱
A peach colored iris bloom. An iris bloom with violet colored petals. The petals that hang downwards have almost sold white centers that speckle into the violet color. A mostly white iris bloom that has petals that transition into a lavender color. There are yellow orange centers peeking out from the center. A deep purple, almost black, iris bloom.

So, got a late start (because I was moving) but my friend let me use their backyard for gardening this year because I couldn't find a community garden in time. There's always next year, but this is where I'm at now. Not the best but it will do 😄 🌱
An overgrown garden bed with a large cardboard box covering it. Slightly clearer garden beds with cardboard covering them. One has a shovel pinning the cardboard down, the other has twisting stakes pinning it down. A cleared garden bed with twisted stakes in one and a square tomato cage in the other.

So this was Julio and I probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. 🖤🤍🩵

I've never read Harry Potter or this book, but it has good reviews and looks funny as hell.
Post for the boom Trans Wizzard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus by Chuck Tingle. 3.9/5 stars. 1089 ratings. Trans wizard Harriet Porber is a master spellsmith who's found herself in a bit of a pickle. After finishing wizard college, Harriet made a name for herself by creating a hit viral spell, but has since failed to craft a follow up. Now Harriet’s agent, Minerma, is breathing down her neck, suggesting that Harriet take a trip to an island off the coast of England for inspiration. Hoping for some peace and quiet to clear her head, Harriet Porber arrives to find that her new neighbor, an angsty bard named Snabe from the band Seven Inch Nails, is already there making a racket. This parasaurolophus spellcaster is a bad boy through and through, and with his incredible powers of metamagic, Snabe reveals that this layer of reality is much more than it seems. Could Harriet and Snabe really be characters in a parody romance novel? Soon enough, these two are discovering they have more similarities than differences: both trans, both strong, and both hoping to create a new spell that will change the world. But with the addition of two devious sentient motorcycles to the mix, Dellatrix and Braco, things start to get complicated. Now trans wizard Harriet Porber is caught up in a tale of magic and mystery where nothing is as it seems, except for one universal truth: love is real.

It's so tiny and detailed. This was on a tree at work. Lichen is pretty neat, y'all.

Two different lichens growing on the bark of a tree branch. One is a powdery blue grey color. The other is lime green that darkens closer to the center of the growth. Tree branch with lichen growth with U S Quarter held up for size comparison.

Babygirl, I need ya to Show Me where the law is that's gonna define which identical twin isn't a human, if you get this one to pass. We'll need to know how to order ourselves accordingly, of course!
Moon is sponsoring his own proposed constitutional amendment which would define “person” as “every human being with a unique DNA code regardless of age, including every in utero human child at every stage of biological development from the moment of conception until birth.”
