Dev Doodle, Plant Lady 🌱

People in the Midwest don't fuck around when it comes to dessert. Yes, the other foods are under-flavored but there is no limit to the amount of sugar that can be in a treat. Last night I ate HALF a cookie. It was too rich for me. I had to sleep on it. Felt like one of those half-a-doughnut freaks.

This is a story about how it feels to use google now.

A knot of grief tightens in my shoulder. Why has it come to this? I miss her, the way she was, she was so brilliant and creative and full of hope, it's hard to see her like this.

A fly lands directly on her right eye and I can't stomach standing there anymore. Not even for Ms. Gogol. She will never know how much I cared about her. "Okay, thank you", I say before speed-walking back to my car, waiting until I am well past the dead hydrangeas before I attempt to inhale again.

"I am happy to make up some garbage for you, plants have been here a long time, they used to be even weirder than they are now, nobody knows what this big lump tree is now, and that's all you need to know, here's a picture of a bug in some amber so you know I tried. Here are some nice beach totes."

The stench in the lobby hits me like a brick. Ms. Gogol's reanimated corpse is in her usual chair on the far left and she is shouting the sale prices of a revolutionary new water bottle. "I am looking for paleobotany references" I tell her, she tells me what I am looking for is a designer tote bag.

me to read, she helped me find all the references for my school projects. Who knows how many times she pointed out a poem that brought me to tears, or a story that inspired me to have some small hope for the future. I will forever owe her an unpayable debt for the life she injected into my life.

I pull into the library parking lot, only two cars today, the hydrangeas by the door look like shit. I'm here to see Ms. Gogol, I might grab a few books while I am here, but this trip is for information. Ms. Gogol has been my friend since I was a child, she has always had just the right thing for

May their injuries be complicated and enduring, may every storm and pressure change remind them of their choices, so mote it be 👼

SPIED THIS IN A MANAGER’S OFFICE!!!!

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I am so proud of those kids. They beat the shit out of him. It was beautiful teamwork.

Absolutely!

HELL YEAAAHH

Sure do!!

I am so grateful even if nobody up there ever knew I complained about it.

Thank you wotc for pulling that one video down. I appreciate it. 🫶

*In the voice of DBZ Abriged Goku* I just think maybe people aren't really thinking about it as a whole big picture, you know? Like if you zoomed out and looked at the planet as a big ball of stuff to turn into products [This entire time you've been distracted I have been charging The Spirit-bomb]

Because I do and it keeps me up at night. I am disappointed in us, as a species, in a motherly way. With every hopecore climate model crying 'only a third to two thirds of us will not have access to water if we change everything today!' And well, look around, dear reader, we are not doing that.

Do you ever think about how much concrete we could make? Do you ever think about how to make a new island? Do you ever think about silver being integral to the tech and vveapon industry? Do you ever think about how people are going to grow food when it's eight degrees hotter and soils are depleted?

What about upgrading and refining machines? Do you ever think about how many people have to work in an oil field? Do you ever think about how many more birds are going to be displaced as people encroach on their breeding grounds in the polar regions? Do you ever think about the huge offshore rigs?

Super heavy sour? Do you ever think about what happens to all that sulfur? Do you ever think about how to transport and store vats of goo? Do you ever wonder how many amazing fossils we've blown to smithereens and sucked up metal-moquito-style? Do you ever contemplate the longevity of pipelines?

Do yall ever think about how we've got like maybe 50 years worth of crude oil and natural gas left? Do you ever think about how weird it's going to get as we face the oncoming global energy crisis that will define our lives? Do you ever think about how sweet light crude is a totally other beast than

I don't think we are all supposed to be existing one sharp inhale away from crashing the fuck out, but I could be wrong.

Mostly just that Travis loves me.

I thought you meant magic set, my bad, yes he was definitely involved with those movies.

Oh shit I thought you meant 5 magic sets

I would rather have anatomically bizarre physiologically impossible dinosaurs in Magic The Gathering than give Jack Horner one single cent.

UGH EWWW WHYYY
