people should plant more fall blooms in portland. i saw a clump of pretty cosmos this morning, some little red and white flowers and a small batch of hydrangea hanging on. this chicory was a weed but still nice contrast with the leaves.

the best bread box is an ikea lixhult + grejig combo. it’s metal, it’s going to last forever. keeps mice out. you can put magnets on it and stickers, it’s large enough for a lot of bread & it’s $75. you will not find anything of this capacity for this price. you’re welcome.

i usually take spiders outside but this one likes my string of pearls pot & the euphorbia. it’s also doubled in size in about a month. it’s almost a half inch long. so it’s likely eating some plant bugs i guess.
should i take it outside?

the only thing comparable is at ikea, but it’s not the same.

yes - obvious parent shaming & ablism. i won't dignify the original post with a click or share because it was intentionally posted to get people to say these things or interact. i have been avoiding responding to stuff like this bc half the time: it's a bot. put energy elsewhere. ...anywhere.

one of the new buildings by my house has bird dots on it. i am glad. but i wish they were more aesthetic. i wonder if there was patterns on glass like the one made here that could be used instead. a sticker made to look like etched surface maybe? anyway: dbird.org
