Our trainwreck polish cross is our most reliable layer and has been for going on 2 years now. She's got some sort of weird spinal deformation that keeps her tail permanently tilted downwards and is generally the shape of a peahen. Her comb is shaped like a crown and she does a better job policing the hens than the rooster does<3 fucked up bitch bird but lays beautiful perfect white XL eggs every day
What a good gal. I am hoping my gals are like. Below average layers because honestly i cannot eat that many eggs man. I simply cannot
Somebody asked me how many eggs I get from my chickens and I like. Fully forgot about the concept of chickens as egg laying creatures lmao they're still a smidge too young yet to be laying and my breeds are not known for being prolific layers but like. I have been appreciating the gals as animals that I hang out with and am entertained by and wholly spaced on the fact that they could produce eggs which I would eat
Honey LOVE clover and will sneak in to eat it
Shamelessly poaching someone elses idea, social media poll but the options arent solely geared 2wards 15 year olds
Reblog 4 a bigger sample size dadada you know how it is w polls
Early May in an Appalachian forest.
From top: sweet white violet (Viola blanda); long-spurred violet (Viola rostrata); broadleaf toothwort (Cardamine diphylla); wake robin (Trillium erectum), also known as red or purple trillium; heartleaf foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia); smooth Solomon’s seal (Polygonatum biflorum); and wood anemone (Anemone quinquefolia), also known as nightcaps.
Trillium is one of the best designs of plants, no I will not elaborate
With all the foal envy I’m experiencing right now, I figured it was time for a little throwback to (almost) three years ago. Little Líf 🥰
I want to go on a vacation >:((( real vacation!!! I want to see a big lake. Hike in a woods. Eat too much food
another question that gets me is… would u be friends with your parents if they were your not your parents/ were the age you are now?? hard to tell bc who knows what they were really like at 20 something but….. we wonder. and we wonder and wonder.
#my mom and i would maybe still be work friends due to similar planty interests#but i wouldnt have my planty and nature interests at all and may not have this job in this industry if not for her so??#my dad and i have the same sense of humor and politics but we are also equally awkward so probabky not lol
I can't imagine living somewhere without a ridge like what. Where is the weather supposed to happen or the sunrises and sunsets? the clouds over the ridge the vultures the hawks the rainbows the lightning. what do people who don't have a ridge of a hill on the horizon even look at?
I'm possessed by the spirit of wants to garden lately and it's so powerful. Last year I barely wanted to garden at all and now I'm just. Digging holes.
Progress on stinky little herb bed. Sod removal!!! My enemy!!! I planted one oregano to the side and am unsure what else to plant in the ground besides more oregano. I barely even cook with oregano.
The Plan is to eventually take out the rest of the sod in the browner bit up to the telephone pole and do my future garlic bed there.
The other side of the fence I want to plant a bunch of dying Delphinium I took home from work and try to sow some Alcea but that may not happen for a bit because I hate sod removal so much. It's easier with my cultivator but its still soooooooooooo :/

Front garden veggie patches are the best veggie patches you should do it
It's definitely a thing I would consider for the future if I ever outgrow or repurpose my current garden spaces. I've been a little reluctant to do any in ground veggie gardening anywhere besides the already designated garden because of my yard's history as a bit of a junk pile rip and any garden would have to be deerproofed
Independent bookstores around the country have a particularly clever lifeline, one perfectly suited to the unprecedented moment we find ourselves in. The strange part? It came into being just weeks before the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, and before the bookstores started closing up shop wondering if they’d reopen at all.
The lifeline in question is called Bookshop.
In simple terms, it’s a super clean, user-friendly online bookstore whose raison d’être is supporting independent bookstores — not simply with exposure or resources (though that’s certainly a factor), but with cold hard cash…

people be fucking normal abt ftm bottom surgery challenge.
None of the commenters are gonna see this, but! If anyone’s interested in meta or phalloplasty but is kind of on the fence because they’ve only heard Terrible Wretched Things about the surgeries and results, you should try to find a copy of Hung Jury by Trystan T. Cotten! It’s a collection of testimonials from FtMs who have had bottom surgery, including their reasons, details about some of their procedures, and individual satisfaction ratings, and it includes testimonials from several trans men of color!
This is the book that convinced a buddy of mine to go through with metoidioplasty! I pinky promise, the surgeries are way way way better and safer and more effective than we’ve been made to believe they are. If it’s a procedure you want/need for your health and happiness, it’s a procedure you deserve!
LITERALLY THIS!!!!!! ppl are just parroting what they hear and they’ve been saying the same shit for decades. news flash assholes!!!! if you actually do your research, you’ll find it has gotten better!!!! what you mean is that bottom surgery won’t make you cis, and that is not the fault of bottom surgery.
I'm sure it's progressed in 20 years but when I'm in multiple FTM trans groups and seeing multiple posts from guys who've been basically butchered, including several who have had it just straight up reject and fall off, you bet your ass I'm not spending thousands of dollars to get bottom surgery. It's just not worth it to me.
“my information is decades out of date but i’m still gonna fearmonger anyway.”
I highly recommend that anyone considering a phalloplasty checks out this site
It goes into detail about everything from different types of procedures, to preparations, to recovery, and to risks.
I've found it extremely helpful while I was looking over my options because they don't just vaguely warn you about potential complications; they explain them in depth with the goal of informing you rather than dissuading you.
I think one of the most important takeaways I found here is this section:
The phalloplasty has come a really long way since it was first preformed (almost 100 years ago, I believe!) and complications are a risk with any surgery. Phallo has higher complication rates, sure, but it also boasts a very high satisfaction rate--higher than that of people who have undergone cardiac surgery. And regardless of all of this, shaming people or calling transmasc surgeries "butchering" or "invasive" or "dangerous" is kind of awful actually.
(There's also a similar site for people considering metoidioplasty too!)

@defilerwyrm this seems relevant to your interests
”Don’t fuck up perfectly good parts” is so fucking transphobic you could have taken it right out of any given TERF’s larvae-filled, shit-encrusted mouth.
They’re NOT “perfectly good.” Not for those of us with bottom dysphoria. They’re parts that SHOULDN’T BE THERE. They’re parts that SHOULD BE DIFFERENT. And modern medicine can make that happen.
“Doesn’t even work” I can fuck both your parents with it one after another, shut the fuck up. You can piss with it. You can fuck with it. You can orgasm with it. What else do you want, a song and a dance?
“Doesn’t look like the real thing” if it’s like 2 months post-op maybe?? Babydoll there were SCADS of cis gay men biting their lower lips at my phalloplasty cock at the nude beach. One did an honest-to-god double take complete with jaw drop. And once I get my baculum (by which I mean erectile implant) in December, I’ll be able to put it in any damn position I please. Partner likes ‘em straight out? No problem! Partner likes an upward curve? Can do! Show me a cis man who can fucking do THAT.
BUT WAIT, THEY EXIST. Because phalloplasty and erectile implants and testicular implants are done for cis men, too. Do you think THEY’D rather have no dick instead?
You say don’t want phallo because it doesn’t give you a cis dick. I hear “I’d rather wallow in misery and self-pity because chasers and other transphobes have convinced me that I should not have my body altered from the parts they want to fuck.” I hear “I have been duped into parroting genital essentialist transphobic bullshit by cryptoconservatives.”
I love my dick. This is a $135,000 cock—I saw the bill. It’s QUALITY. And it fucking ERASED my dysphoria. Do I wish it worked like a cis man’s penis? Do I wish I had a foreskin? Of fucking course I do! But you know what I never fuckin’ find myself thinking after bringing myself off is “Gosh I sure wish my hand, pubes, genitals, and sheets were covered in rapidly-concealing jizz.” If it were possible to go back to my original configuration, there is no universe in which I would EVER consider doing that for a PICOSECOND.
The most common complication is a fistula. GUESS WHAT. THEY USUALLY HEAL UP ON THEIR OWN. MINE DID.
With a nebula-sized fuck-you to the transphobic cis gay who coined the term on LJ 20 years ago and discouraged the fuck out of me for ever getting bottom surgery, this “dick roll-up” is so much better than my OEM parts they’re not in the same fucking universe for comparison. They are on different levels of reality apart.
Stop parroting TERF rhetoric to yourselves and your brothers. Not all of us have bottom dysphoria, but for those of us who do, BOTTOM SURGERY IS FUCKING AWESOME AS ALL HELL.
