Since Gandalf smokes weed and Radagast does shrooms, I have a theory that each of the wizards represents a drug. Saruman is cocaine.

there's a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn't and the park service keeps thinking it's dead and then it keeps blooming! well they're removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they've said it's finally time for stumpy to go and they're going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they're also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral

[clairenatural]

someone brought it flowers today

STUMPY MY BELOVED!!!!

For added context on what rehabilitating the area means: there are structural issues with the Tidal Basin seawall that cause flooding like this independent of rainfall. Big portions of the sidewalk in Stumpy’s section are regularly submerged, which is bad for the land and the trees themselves, not to mention an accessibility issue for visitors.

It’s sad that Stumpy and many other trees in the area will need to be cut down, but it will ensure the continued survival of the other trees in the area, and Stumpy himself will live on in his cuttings!

I believe Stumpy will be taken to the national arboretum and his clones will return to the tidal basin after the rebuilding.

Someone left him a bottle of bourbon as an offering.

The Japanese Embassy came to pay him honor this week.

Stumpy and his cohort are part of the original gift from Japan more than 100 years ago, and many have lived this long bc the National Parks takes care of them. Normally the trees live about 40-50 years.

I will never ever understand leftists who don’t mask— clearly no compassion for their own communities AND not willing to even cynically use the excuse of health and safety to wear masks and thus avoid surveillance efforts.. like bad ideology and praxis, just a mess

one of the funniest aspects of marcilles relationship with the touden siblings is that she KNOWS falin is like laios but shes smitten with falin & is touched to tears thinking back to how falin kept trying to eat dubious unknown foods with her and meanwhile whenever laios expresses enthusiasm in it marcilles like i hope when you die you go to hell no matter what

[angelofdykeness]

marcille follows the true lesbian ethos of “this shit pisses me off so much unless it’s a pretty girl doing it then it’s fine”

honestly like. long term the two most useful subjects i studied in high school were probably cookery & ethics

[penny-anna]

in ethics class we learned about a view call Emotivism which is the stance that ethnical beliefs aren’t based on reason but rather on people’s emotional reactions. & I remember being like, hm, in practice I do think that’s how most ethical judgements get made, but I don’t think it should be how ethical judgements get made.

periodically I’ll ask myself ‘is this action actually causing any material harm or does it just make me feel bad?’ Because sometimes it’s the latter. it’s an important question to ask yourself, i think.

[penny-anna]

also in cookery i learned how to make a chocolate swiss roll which is great for impressing ppl
