It's been wild to go from learning about vegetable cultivars (annuals where seed-saving and genetic diversity are HUGE issues) to houseplants cultivars (The Clone Army)
#*person who's read about corn breeding starts to hyperventilate when se learns that tradescantia cultivars are all exact genetic clones*#like it's fine it works they serve very very different purposes#but also That's Scary#it does make breeding new cultivars an entirely different game#got one F1 hybrid that looks cool?#boom. clone it forever and you're done#you don't need to go through the work of growing out many generations until it's stabilized#nice work if you can get it i guess#anyway might get into tradescantia breeding#it's extremely difficult and tedious#which i love#and it would be super cool to one day develop an official cultivar of my own#also they're purple

Deeply alienated by the way allo people talk about romance. ALSO deeply alienated by the way aro people talk about it.
*dabs confusedly*
#idk maybe i would vibe more with romance-neutral aro perspectives#most of the aros i know are pretty strongly romance-repulsed/averse#in a way that requires the concept to be . . . real enough to avoid#if that makes sense#i have been wondering recently if i might be more aro than previously thought#and like. i don't think so. i don't think it would be a helpful label.#but i'm sure as hell not allo either

Plant swaps are great bc it's fun to talk to other plant people, but they're also SO dangerous. I have four philodendrons now.

hi Scribe! I am deeply sorry to hear about your horrible doctor's appointment, you deserve so much better than such negligent care. I'm also chronically ill & struggle deeply with fatigue. remember that you are adored & loved, that it's still worth going on because love is there, & it will always be there. 🩷
Thank you, this is very sweet. I've been having a rough time recently so I really appreciate the message 💜

In general I have had phenomenal luck with medical professionals since I got sick, but every time you see a new person it's a roll of the dice and baby, the doctor I saw today was a critical fail!
#curseblogging#got treated to the full 'have you tried not being sick? you just need to be more active.#you'll never get anywhere if you're lying in bed all day!' routine#and also the '*I* have been doing this for twenty years (never mind that I've never treated a chronic fatigue patient before)#while all *you* have is your lived experience and also the results of a recent clinical study' routine#AND she kept snapping at Nate for answering for me even though he was doing it BECAUSE I WAS TOO TIRED TO TALK#screams for one million years

Bread can't solve all your problems but at least it can solve the problem of not having bread.

a rebel.
found some broken-off stems of the tradescantia pallida I was coveting in those planters (genuinely, I didn't even proplift them) and after I put them in water one of them sent out a little flower which is SO cute but I'm like baby please. you don't have any roots. this is not the time.

it's Scribephobic that the local library only lets you check out 15 ebooks at a time. can I read that many in a timely manner? No! but I still Need them.
#i'm cursed so i can't go to the library myself and none of them will deliver to me :(#i need the experience of coming home with a stack of books half as tall as i am and then reading like 3 and a half of them#unfair#curseblogging

PSA for fellow curse-havers:
If you are constantly fucking up your wrists by leaning too hard on a cane, or you regularly need to have your friends physically support you because you're too weak or unsteady on your own, or you say no to a bunch of activities because you can't handle the walking involved, but you still keep telling yourself "I mean, I can walk *sometimes* it isn't *that* bad, surely I wouldn't *really* benefit that much from a different mobility aid—”
Get. The. Wheelchair.
