A zucchini plant is in the foreground, with pepper and tomato plants further back, one supported by a metal cage. A green wire fence and short white picket border enclose the space.

PLANTS. 🌱 I made a veggie garden and I’m tracking rainfall and watering it sometimes and that’s honestly about it but it’s more than I’ve ever done before!

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

Image from the TV show Severance. The character, Seth Milchick, a man with dark skin, short curly hair, and a mustache is smiling while standing behind a table filled with neatly arranged fruit bowls. He is wearing a white short-sleeved dress shirt, a navy blue tie, dark trousers, and a belt with a walkie-talkie attached. The background features a sterile looking room with white walls and geometric ceiling lights. The table in front of him has trays of cut cantaloupe and honeydew melon, along with stacks of napkins, utensils, and small plates. The image includes a humorous caption at the top that reads, “If not babygirl, why babygirl shaped??”
