I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

Seed packet, McKenzie Basil lettuce leaf, container 75 days to maturity

Oh and it's a Canadian seed company so I can get more!

A ruffled and puckered heart shaped leaf next to a larger but similar shaped monstera leaf.

The leaf upside down and cupped sitting on my hand holding half a cup of water

I grew a basil lettuce leaf that's 6" long and can hold 1/2 cup of water like a bowl because of its crazy stem which ruffles the leaves.
The others held about a 1/4 cup.

Oh I forgot in the directions, if using a biscuit mix like Bisquick to reduce salt because they have it in them already. It's an oops I've made a time or two lol

Screenshot of a recipe from threads I posted. Shred frozen butter is the difference to most recipes.

Thanks!

Humble brag.
I make good biscuits. Even gluten free ones.
My late MIL even once said they were better than hers. She was from the mountains of NC so high praise.

One of the things I love about Gen Z is how they take all the little millennial snark sayings seriously. We said “hang it in the louvre” for two decades and they said “bet”

Chopsticks work as a pole and stake tied to the plant with jute in an old mug with a broken handle.

A syngonium is wrapped to a moss covered stick wrapped in jute in lieu of a moss pole.

a shingle plant with two vines crawling up a heavy cardboard tube and another on what is a thin wooden bookmark blank.

A pothos secured with jute to a sandwich of moss between the same bookmark blanks.

I have never felt closer to my granddad. 🤣
Diy junk gardening!
It's not a ladder held together with wire up a cherry tree or deadly in any way but it is make-do and keep it, it may be useful one day.
Temporary but in a seasonal way

I've been to Puerta Vallarta 6-8 times, as a teen etc.
My dad liked it a lot and had timeshares he actually used a lot for a couple of decades.
It was a fairly safe place. Like any big city, places you shouldn't go alone etc but I went out exploring with other resort kids, occasionally staff.

Many a general throughout history should be so good.

One thing I did buy? This 10cm pot of Manjula Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Manjula').
Is the lack of photosynthesis going to make these a bitch to keep nice?
Yes, yes it is.
But I adore white & silver foliage.

Plant people can be kind of shady.
Reverted Florida beauties being resold as Florida Green, as if it's not the same plant that's lost its variegation.
Same with green/burgundy princesses.

A 4" juvenile monsteras with a cream leaf and smaller green and white leaves

Thick vine with green heart leaves covered in silver

Spear leaves in green and peach. Philodendron

Yellow leaves with orange and green molting.

Look at the plants I *didn't* buy at @heemans this morning!
They had monstera white monsters! And a philodendron Brandtianum hanging basket!! A gorgeous cream marble philodendron with such a pretty pink/peach. The Orange Marmalade is better in person than I expected.

I love how my decision at the greenhouse was buy the one expensive plant or 5 other plants.
No thought of not getting any plants.

It's February and my mental health apparently hinges on greenery.

My hypermobile neck is in danger the way I'm throwing my head back at these missed opportunities.

On hockey boards background We're sorry The country you've tried to reach is watching hockey. Please try again after the game

Wilson needs to level a hit like on Hughes on a Tkachuk. Either one is fine.

5.5 inch heart shaped crinkled leaf

I'm growing lettuce leaf basil and these things are massive!!
A few of these outside and you'd have wraps all summer

The Musk family are actively endorsing Restore Britain, a party the racist Reform UK considers excessively racist, whose slogan is “millions must go” and whose leaders call for the expulsion of Britons of darker skin or Jewish, Muslim or otherwise non-Christian faith

How tech turned against women As AI-generated sexualised images proliferate and app-facilitated abuse spreads, we are sleepwalking into a new age of gender inequality. It is time to regulate properly

"large language models such as ChatGPT were consistently advising women to ask for lower salaries than men in recruitment processes,... AI tools already in use by more than half of England’s councils were downplaying women’s medical conditions, potentially resulting in unequal care"

My little coffee pot died.
I have no coffee 😭😭

To my knowledge I haven't had a c-reactive protein test below 13, ever. Definitely since adulthood.
When it's "high" it's in upper 20s.

No one has ever figured out why.
some are sure pain is all in my head.
Did any look up skin disease/crp? Idk but uh...correlation between skin severity is there

Oh my poor mother.
On the phone with my older sister when my call comes in and sister says go answer it.
It's me.
My sister and I sound very much alike. People have thought one of us was talking to herself, our husbands etc were never sure on the phone sound the same.
She caught on quick but...🤣

I have planted so many seeds today.
My soul needs a 60% germination rate to make this a good thing.
The grow light I have for them is not working for unknown reasons so I'm not even expecting too much in terms of good growth. But some.
I've rearranged other plants to steal some of their grow light

Stems which I think are climbers. Red

A new leaf in light green, bronze, dark green

Front of the plant.

Low look with juvenile leaves present.

Pretty sure I ended up with a philodendron el choco red from Home Depot.
And actually 5 of them? For $12. They are grouped together but I don't think they're micans, there's no vine.

Huh. Occasionally numbers occur to me.
Like how many of my first degree relations are teachers. At least 12 off the top of my head.
Then a few who would be trainers type rather than teachers per se.

And it doesn't stay on that dark even if the priest is heavy handed at application.
It's mixed with a medium to get that coverage and staying power and smoothness. No creasing, sweat staining, rubbed my forehead.
It's makeup.

I'm not trying to be an "autism mom" but the kids/peoole without full ability to recognize their own feelings are not ok with the world even if they dont seem as bothered at the time of learning something.
A lot is delayed processing, not no processing. Days/weeks even.
Out of sync its own trauma

New ground growth from mums

Ground growth for daisies

Under the snow there is life.
