It’s ok that you’re inexplicably killing a plant that’s supposedly ‘hardy’ and ‘immortal’ and ‘so easy to keep alive that you could hit your head on a marble countertop and be in a coma for three years and still not kill this plant.’ That’s a-ok. YOU’RE DOING GREAT.
We’re doing fine, reader. We’re doing just fine.
Let’s think about a thing we haven’t killed… Oh! I bet that tree in or around your yard, or in the median right before you turn into the strip mall, or next to the library is doing GREAT. I bet it’s thriving! Excellent job!!
Indispensable, you and I. Keeping various trees alive left and right. So, so good.

Even though I can only name about 3 shows I am 100% certain are still on American teevee, I am still really excited for Heather’s Emmy write up.

The Slate article about the power of queer tears really really spoke to me, so I went to the comment section to say that and was blindsided by trolls and other random angry people…. I think I forgot that not every comment section is the Autostraddle comment section!

Me too. I couldn’t even watch the show because it was too scary. But those kids are so great.

I recently received a plant for my birthday and managed to kill it within a week, so I really appreciated the intro to this, Laneia.
