I saw this one. Wanted to post it where all my southern friends would see. But their husbands already are suspect of me. lol.

What is phytomining?

Power from flower: Albanian farm plants suck EV battery metal from soil. A plant can accumulate up to 2 percent of its body weight in nickel.

And if you can, donations are sorely needed!

@LadyZurk Really well said. And stop assuming the worst in people. Give a listen to their story. Most people aren’t malignant narcissists.

Maybe quit "othering" people. IDK. I obviously have zero answers as to how to make the world a little better. Fucks sakes. You can disagree, repudiate, disassociate, disconnect, refuse to hear folks. These younglings don't know how to do it. People are going to tell me to eff off to wherever but this, THIS is where that talking with your disagreeable neighbor or whomever matters. Put a face on WHY people should care. Don't put yourself at risk, but be cordial if you can. SEE your neighbors

I now know what to get everyone of my American friends here for Christmas.

Damn, now I actually want glow in the dark paint.

Okay but if I want the money, got the marketing line for prints, which might be sold with invisible black light or glow in the dark details painted on each print so I can do the Thomas Kinkaod scam, but be "mistress of blacklight". Then, I can market it in tabloids as a magic painting that can "protect you from mansplaining".

My half crippled ass better start the costume with a kick ass cane. I can practice making the spasms look like jump scares and jiggly bones.

Hole-ey Fuck. I just found spider mites on the "lucky" clover. My response was to immediately plow down all the plants in the window box, including pink dandelions and yarrow. Y'all need to stop asking me for gardening advice, and the fact that I'm in two directories of people to follow in the "fediverse" in the gardening category is just embarrassing. Fingers crossed, send Celia prayers and wishes or whatever.

I need a tophat with silk Sarracenia flowers. I need a duct tape bodyform, and I can pull out some of the flowing clothes that don't fit, but make them fit better. And look better. Fuck, no sewing machine, no job, no sugar daddy. Um, I mean "patron". Or spouse, whatever. Damn, why didn't I ask more loudly for a sewing machine? Can I pull something together by October? Ugh, why do the best ideas come AFTER autumn comes?

I'm gonna meet a studly hippie/goth on my haunted tour and he will be my Hades, but open to Persephone's lessons of spring's renewal and love. We will do some art together.

But I think I know how I CAN potentially profit from my creativity, practice exposure therapy for my social anxiety, AND encourage myself to walk. Haunted walking tours of Cherry Street, the place I got my haunted moss from in the post that set me off on this Persephone kick. Just need to do some research, writing, and maybe score an interview or two. Make a costume, and a sign?

Eeeew just realized how this might sound, the mugs were going to be hand painted for me, like to remember some of my "flirty war cries", motivation. Not me looking for ways to profit from this. But the book, which would respect confidentiality, might include this journey because I'm doing really good, I want to show people how I used compassion alongside the tarot to ease the rage, but still stand strong and defend my boundaries. Money isn't my agenda, basic instructions are free on the blog.

Wait. I don't want to make snarky mugs. I'm writing a book already on how I use the tarot as a secular tool in my creative process. I can do an honest and compassionate discussion of my journey with him, in a relevant way. Check out the reference to VIII Strength on the forehead. Traditional tarot imagery shows a woman gently helping a lion with a painful tooth, this symbol above her head.

Current playlist, designed to keep me in the frame of mind I need for what I want to express in my art, includes The Sims soundtrack for the original game and the Unleashed expansion, Concrete Blonde, The Beatles, wolves howling in a thunderstorm in the mountains, and sounds of an urban street. Oh, and shamanic drums and Tibetan bowls.

Isn't it nice to know your platform of choice will never be accused of being a russian tool for spreading misinformation?

👊

Reminder that when someone INTENTIONALLY redirects attention to the bad behavior of another while doing the same bad thing themselves, that is not projection. It's deflection.
