A lot of old Christmas music is very sad and lonely… β€œhave yourself a merry little Christmas” is haunting. β€œI’ll be home for Christmas” is about being alone and away from family. For many of us, the holidays have always been sad. This isn’t new.

I struggle to care.

It’s not because I don’t want gun violence to stop. I do. I just struggle to care about each and every time this happens. It’s just part of life now.

I think this is a very common stance. I’m not β€œdevastated”. I feel nothing about it.

Never in hell but I applaud the optimism. That cess pit of hate and debauchery is lost and not worth putting effort into.

The pettiness is beyond compare. It’s so ridiculous.

Like a very tiny didjeridoo or the trumpets the dwarves use in LOTR πŸ˜‚

The best version of a Christmas Carol is the muppets one. And it’s one of the best movies ever. So I think that’s a win.

I agree with all of this. Tbf tho all of our numbers have been stolen and disseminated by data brokers for like the last decade.

Tbf, it’s been dismantled now. In name at least.

I cannot keep Regia alive to save my life. Their leaves always dry up before they even open.

I have about 7 baby plants growing from the roots of my first failure and they are doing well, so I’m hopeful! My big plant in the same pot is struggling to keep any leaves.

Excellent plan! Love this. Thank you for the pointers!

I had no idea!! I have a big giant pot of them but it could always be bigger!! How do you go about transferring them to the regular substrate, if you don’t mind me asking for tips πŸ˜‚

I have a plastic tub with my first ever leaf pullings! I have one sprout on a Capensis (red) that has a plantlet!

They aren’t usually self pollinating but they do reproduce from the roots. I have couple now!

It’s d. graomogolensis! I was surprised how long the flower lasted. They’re both still open.
