Clever girl!

Naomi knows how to nudge open doors and is now trying to apply this knowledge to the bathroom cabinet. Looks like I'm going to have to bunny-proof the cabinet doors with a hair tie across the knobs so she can't get in.

You don’t solve any problems by punching faces. It sure fucking feels good though.

The most annoying sentence online, especially after current events, is "we're cooked".

It is a sentence that ends problem solving thought and encourages doomerism.

Instead, say "there's a problem, how do we go forwards from here?"

Start cooking instead of being cooked.

Thorn had just stated that some problems could only be solved alone. She felt the need--a little childishly, admittedly--to prove to him that others could only be solved together.

I combined TPS with CKR and this is what came out

I don't know why but Pure Vanilla's voice sounds very similar to that of Horace, it's curious or maybe a little of his voice remains

I wanna talk about things that can go wrong with tomato plants. As you might know, this year nearly everything went wrong for me, so I have lots of examples! Let's look at this first, this is things gone wrong before I even planted the thing outside:

This is about 8 tomato plants in one small container; they do not have space to grow a good root system, they don't have enough nutrients, they are fighting for water and soil, they should have been separated into their own cups weeks ago, this will stunt them. And on top of that, you see those white spots in the red circle? Those are spots from getting burned by the sun. These plants are really going trough it.

If a plant has been grown indoors, it shouldn't be exposed to sun for more than a few hours at a time, because the sun is too intense for them, it burns them. The solution is to leave it in the sun for 1 hour first day, then 3 hours the next day, and 5 hours on the third day; that way the plant 'hardens' and gets used to the sun so it can't burn anymore, then it's safe to plant her outside. I can't undo the damage I've caused to these plants, and they'll have a hard time with their tiny roots to absorb nutrients outside, but I'll just plant them and maybe some of them make it.

So this is how a tomato plant looks after a slug is done with her. No leaves left. The culprit is in the second picture, contained in the slug bucket. This plant has zero chance of survival since it's been eaten almost completely, so what I've done is pluck it out, and I planted one of my other tomato plants in there (one from the tiny cup you saw earlier) and hopefully this one will survive! This makes me so mad because few years ago slugs didn't even eat the tomato plants, nightshades were supposed to be toxic to them, but last 2 years they've just evolved immunity and started eating my potatoes and tomatoes to the ground. It makes gardening uncertain, because before I could be sure if I plant these things they would grow even without supervision, but now they need constant vigilance and war tactics to keep safe.

These were half-eaten, or mostly eaten by slugs, but I think they could still recover, if slugs leave them be. Of course this means they'll grow much more slowly, and it will take them time to reach that same size they were before, so they'll have less time to make tomatoes. The second plant has even more problems than being eaten though; they leaves are both burned by the sun, and have a rust situation going on; so what is the rust?

Here's another plant with rusty leaves; this is an infection that happens any time a tomato leaf is exposed to a mix of wet and sun. If there's rain and the leaves get all wet, and then even worse, some mud splashes on them, and then sun hits them, they get sick like this, and this eventually happens to all tomato plants, unless they're completely protected from rain. The solution is to remove the infected leaves, and throw them away from the garden to stop the infection from spreading. If the plant still has enough good green leaves to grow on, it will be fine, this doesn't immediately kill the whole plant, it just needs to be trimmed away regularly.

 Other than the infection, if you look at the outer leaves of this plant they're turning yellow, and that is something that happened to a lot of my neglected plans, and has lots of causes. Yellowing leaves usually means that this part of the plant did not get enough sun or nutrients. It can happen because there was no water, or because there was too much water, but also, if a change of temperature happens, if it's been a little too cold overnight and the plant just couldn't absorb anything because it was cold, if the ground doesn't have enough nutrition, but also if the plant's root system is not well developed and equipped to draw out those nutrients, often happens after a plant has just been planted outside. If the soil is void of nitrogen sometimes the plant's leaves will start turning black and stop growing until it gets fertilized with nitrogen.

Often the yellowing of the leaves can't be quickly helped; you can fertilize with liquid fertilizer, which means the plant will be able to absorb it more quickly; you can water your plant with compost tea and that will give it good nutrition. You can't change the temperature outside, so if it's cold or it rains too much, the plants will just start turning yellow.

However it's most often not lethal; the plant prioritizes the very top leaves, which have the best access to light, and if those are still healthy, you can trim the yellow leaves and your plant will survive just okay, plants sometimes let leaves go in order to cope with a new temperature-light-nutrition situation.

So unless your plant is entirely rusty, yellow, or eaten by slugs, it stands a chance to have a life in this world even if some of it looks imperfect.

And to not be a complete bummer of a post, here's one tomato plant that has been doing very well; it's one of the illegal plants that planted itself in my kitchen!

When all is well, the plant has a lot of green growth, it needs to be tied to a stick so it doesn't fall down and get sick, and this one was the first one to grow some flowers! Seeing how big the flowers are I can confidently say it's going to grow large tomatoes, and I'm grateful for that, I need those.
