Wow! I’ve never seen the flower before, that’s wild.

I’m not sure of the exact cultivar but it’s generally a hoya compacta.

Yes, exactly. Protests are an outreach and organizing tool, not something that by itself causes change.

Unsolicited advice disguised as a question.incoming: is your relationship with these young people such that you have to listen?

I do mentorship (which is actually very perplexing that they want me to do this lol) and it takes so much energy that I have to really space it out but other than that I mostly kinda just let them do their own thing and don’t pay much mind unless asked to 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have observed that sometimes old people don’t understand their opinion is unwanted.

I’m approaching old. I need to remind myself that I don’t understand the struggles the youth have these days. I had it hard, sure, but their struggles and worries are not the same as mine. It’s a different world.

So unsolicited advice + thinking the kids are doing it wrong is an easy path to mean/angry.

She’s a stunner!

Cops don’t exist to protect you and they don’t have to be physically fit to serve their purpose: using the threat of violence and the prison industrial complex to protect the interests of capital.

Thanks for sharing! I think your approach applies even when it’s not out of necessity: the most sustainable gardening is done with minimal external inputs, and the best way to get plants is sharing with community 💗

Echoing what everyone else has said, peppers love heat. Ours were started about the same time as yours and they look about the same. They don’t really start popping off until they are outside, with room to grow and it gets hot hot.

Good job getting them started so early, I’m sure you will be rewarded once their established root systems are given the environment they need to thrive in.
