Heading down to the Prarie Elk section of Redwood Natl Park today anyone want anything?

We actually went to a place not redwoods instead. This one:

So like. I'm not mad

For @true-neutral-kobold : the sky through the trees:

And perhaps more impressive, the rocks through the trees!

For @tinyyellowflowers-blog : blackberries!

...and some Tiny Yellow Flowers (Hypericum)

For @ibrithir-was-here : cool fungi

And mysterious creatures...

Additionally I did see (but failed to photograph) both an osprey and an otter. We also found bear poop! But I have tragically reached my photo limit...

I have always felt a greater affinity with the sea at night. It is magnificent during the day, the waves strong and loud, slamming onto the beach, propelled by the force of the entire ocean behind it. But when night comes that force is spent, and the waves roll to the shore with the detachment of a monk unfurling a scroll.

This take is definitely too hot for a lot of fans but I’m gonna say it anyway: Sherlock Holmes is a canonically queer character. What type of queer he is is up to interpretation, but he is canonically, explicitly Not Straight, and people who write him as an allosexual hetero man are the ones who are actually projecting their own headcanon onto him.

I’m 100% serious. Here are the canonical facts we have about his feelings on sex/romance:

- He says multiple times that he is not interested in women. When Watson comments on the attractiveness of a woman, Holmes responds that he “didn’t notice”.

- He is uninterested in marriage and remains a bachelor his entire life, and never expresses any regret or sadness over this.

- He states that he has “never loved” (in this context it is implied that he is specifically talking about romantic love.) He repeatedly expresses disdain for romance in general.

That’s IT. That is ALL the canonical information we have about his sexuality. We know that he is capable of love in some sense, and Watson even explicitly says that Holmes loves him. But we never see any evidence that he has romantic feelings for women.

Any interpretation of Holmes as a heterosexual man directly contradicts all of the evidence we have about his sexuality. It assumes that everything he or Watson have ever said about his feelings on romance is a lie. The only interpretations of him that actually fit with all the facts are if he’s aroace, gay, or some combination thereof.

Anyway I’m going to start referring to straight interpretations of Holmes as “straight headcanons” now. Holmes is canonically queer.

Bartzella has been putting on a show the past week or so! These flowers are HUGE. I’m glad I planted one of these. It’s a fantastic garden performer. I almost passed on it because people say it smells like either cat pee or feet. To me, the scent is… well, I’m neutral to it, but it’s kind of musky. I can see how some people could get unpleasant notes from it.

left a couple of used teabags in a little dish on the counter to dry out (to minimise bin juice in the compost bin) and also left the window open to cool the house down and in the morning found a free roaming snail on my kitchen counter who had apparently been eating the teabags because they had holes in and a big snail slime mark

i am not really sure if tea is good for snails
