I think I'm gonna follow the example and take a miniDarth hibernation by logging off until after New Year's. Thanks to everyone who enjoys my photos and profile. Best wishes and I hope you find meaning in the real world. Hopeful about 2026!

The brother in law whose house we're occurring for Thanksgiving has THREE trampolines buried out back.

When we were sampling American eels in Florida we would throw them in an ice chest because rapid cooling was the only way we knew of to get them to calm the hell down so we could process them.

I don't even know what a loko is, and at this point I'm afraid to ask. I'm pretty sure from the context it's some kind of mythological beast.

You should get a real profile photo (even just a garden photo or something) so people don't think you're a spammer.

Oh, I don't know. This virus is deleterious (it's a bug, not a feature). It's easy for plants to be asymptomatic until they bloom, which can take years with many orchids. Blue eggshells in chickens is also caused by a harmless retrovirus.

Yeah, there are basically no mammals that are safe to feed, but I appreciate your willingness to take risks and hope you keep us updated.

The jumping is the easy part - it's the inevitable landing that will be the problem.

I don't care for them but we can't help but grow them every year because there is no other crop that germinates so quickly and you can harvest within a month. They're so encouraging at the beginning of the year.

My only ludicrous hope from this absurd turd of events is that maybe there's some dumb right-leaning centrist who is now like "whoa, MTG is out, maybe I should think about this more critically."

I did say ludicrous.

The statute of limitations on political forgiveness for MTG is comically expired.

Speaking of mismatched phenology, the predators are turning white, too. These little sh*ts are impossible to track with a cellphone camera, they are like mammal electrons. Bring on some snow! 🦊 #wx

The petals are supposed to be solid purple. Because they have those light pink streaks in them, it probably has a contagious and incurable virus.

It's deer season so some people actually do need to make room for bags of body parts in their freezer.

Poor snake, probably took it days just to find this little green patch to hide in. How far away did she end up having to take it?

Four purple Cattleya flowers in front of my hand. They have a white patch on their frilly lips, with black stripes inside. The closest orchid has light pink/whitish streaks on the upper two petals, although the more elongate sepals seem fine.

I'm trying to decide if the color break on the upper petals of this orchid that I bought in spike is because it has a virus or not. If the former, I'll have to throw it away once it's done blooming. If the latter, I'll probably give it away because I'm terrible with Cattleyas. 🌱πŸͺ΄ #orchids
