I Only Know That I Know Nothing

Late 30s. My pronouns aren't important, but yours are (if you want them to be, of course). This will probably mostly be reblogs.  Is what it is.

Incidentally, blossom end rot on tomatoes is usually caused by a calcium deficiency. You wanna know what a great source of calcium is?

Bone meal. Throw some of that stuff in the planting hole.

Ground up eggshells work too but bone meal is less work tbh. I just chuck the eggshells in the compost rather than trying to grind them up to make them easier for the tomatoes to munch on.

Oh but protip; if you're using blood or bone meal, that stuff APPARENTLY smells delicious to, say, cats or dogs. If you set the bag on the table while you go to find your shoes, it is entirely possible that the cats will knock the bag over onto the floor and your dog will rip it open because she thinks there's a tasty bone to chew on hidden in there.

Then you have to sweep a huge mess up and dump it in a ziploc freezer bag to take out to use on the garden. Ask me how I know this.

Bone/blood meal for garden use is also fortified with enough iron and other GARDEN nutrients that it is toxic to dogs (probably cats too), so if you forget that you've bought a bag and your animals EAT HALF THE BAG? That's a vet trip if you can't make them vomit (we were told to syringe hydrogen peroxide into their stomachs to make them spit it up, but - I cannot state this strongly enough - talk to the vet before doing this on your own).

So, y'know, don't leave that stuff laying around like I did. 😓

tumblr users: i hate tiktok it's the worst

every post of a tiktok video: 12,746 reblogs, 45,094 likes

yes but the experience of occassionally seeing a curated-by-my-homies tiktok vid on my dash is so violently different from the endless stream of scrolling through algorithmic video content. i crave variety. what is my social media experience without walls of text interrupted randomly by videos of ducks and pictures of weird vegan brownies.

I found this on twitter by user Kingfisher & Wombat. https://twitter.com/UrsulaV/status/1568685612168892423?cxt=HHwWjsC-2ZjQi8UrAAAA Thought it was too good not to share. First comic in quite a while that’s got me in tears, ‘cos it felt like hope, and, well, what with everything…

Of course, it’s from @ursula-vernon. I should have recognized.

Thank you.

"No one can love you until you love yourself" is like the worst possible way of articulating "if you don't respect and value yourself, it's very easy to become attracted to people who don't treat you right and then justify their mistreatment, so be careful."

so THAT'S what it's supposed to mean. that actually makes sense.
