I do this to Daniel on a pretty regular basis. He hates it, I think it's freaking hilarious.

I'm a lazy ass bitch and I was wondering if you have any recommendations for easy plants for a garden?
YOU. YOU GET ME.
All of my gardening is done with being a lazy bitch in mind. If it needs constant tending, babying, coddling, whatever, anything more than me weeding it now and then (and even then, it’s better if I can just. Not.) then fuck that whole noise.
I don’t use annuals I can’t plant via winter sowing in milk jugs, or via just straight up throwing seeds at the dirt and walking away. Because why the hell would I spend all that time and money every year planting the whole damn thing again?
Perennials come back every year and only get bigger, instead of dying off every winter. Iris are wonderfully hardy and easy-care, meaning can be largely ignored. Will need to be lifted, divided, and replanted ever…I dunno…five or six years, but then so will most perennials.
Echinacia. That’s a native tallgrass prairie plant. It could survive anything up to and possibly including nuclear war. Bees and butterflies love it, and it’s beautiful.
Hollyhock. Beautiful, and can be planted by throwing seeds at the dirt once. Will reseed itself until the end of days.
Peonies. Lovely and will outlive you. Basically indestructible.
Low growing varieties of yarrow make great groundcovers. The trick to not having to weed often is to cover ALL of the dirt, so that your plants shade out weeds.
Roses. Old fashioned own root varieties. Will outlive you and possibly your grandchildren.
Violets. Native, a lovely groundcover, edible, and beautiful.
Lilies. Smell fantastic, gorgeous, and indestructible.
Penstemon. Another tallgrass prairie plant. Gorgeous, and nearly impossible to kill.
YO BITCHEZ, LOVE DUNKAROOS?

SIGNAL BOOST THIS. HELP ME FEED MY PEOPLE.
Can anyone rec me some wilderness romance? More hiking and surviving together, less small town. I loved the Simple Wild by KA Tucker and want more like it.

Mr. Rogers had an intentional manner of speaking to children, which his writers called “Freddish”. There were nine steps for translating into Freddish:
“State the idea you wish to express as clearly as possible, and in terms preschoolers can understand.” Example: It is dangerous to play in the street.
“Rephrase in a positive manner,” as in It is good to play where it is safe.
“Rephrase the idea, bearing in mind that preschoolers cannot yet make subtle distinctions and need to be redirected to authorities they trust.” As in, “Ask your parents where it is safe to play.”
“Rephrase your idea to eliminate all elements that could be considered prescriptive, directive, or instructive.” In the example, that’d mean getting rid of “ask”: Your parents will tell you where it is safe to play.
“Rephrase any element that suggests certainty.” That’d be “will”: Your parents can tell you where it is safe to play.
“Rephrase your idea to eliminate any element that may not apply to all children.” Not all children know their parents, so: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play.
“Add a simple motivational idea that gives preschoolers a reason to follow your advice.” Perhaps: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is good to listen to them.
“Rephrase your new statement, repeating the first step.” “Good” represents a value judgment, so: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is important to try to listen to them.
“Rephrase your idea a final time, relating it to some phase of development a preschooler can understand.” Maybe: Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play. It is important to try to listen to them, and listening is an important part of growing.

Daughter tells her Dad he’s going to be a Grandpa [x]
"Gulabi Gang" is a gang of women in India who track down and beat abusive husbands with brooms.
This is important.
I don’t even have to tell you why this is important or why you should support the Kickstarter to bring back Reading Rainbow; you know why. So go do it!
