I just realized that it’ll be the 20’s again in less than six years. I propose we bring back swing music and jazz attire.

LOOK AT THE PAWS

Am I the only one finding huge issues with the dialogue writing in gilmore girls: a year in the life?????? Like so much of it is monolgue-ing that totally takes out of the moment bc its feels so fake and the other half is really stupid pop culture references that add literally nothing to the script. They aren't funny, they aren't plot advancing they're just reminding you that yelp exists... Also, there are so many scenes that should be 30 seconds but go on forever. Like the pool scenes!!!! They added less than nothing!!! Rory and Lorelei saying ouch back and forth a billion times!! Its supposed to be funny but it was just boring!!! The parts that are actually telling an interesting narrative are great though

Circus Tree: Six individual sycamore trees were shaped, bent, and braided to form this.

Actually pretty easy. Trees don’t reject tissue from other trees in the same family. You bend the tree to another tree when it is a sapling, scrape off the bark on both trees where they touch, add some damp sphagnum moss around them to keep everything slightly moist and bind them together. Then wait a few years- The trees will have grown together. You can use a similar technique to graft a lemon branch or a lime branch or even both- onto an orange tree and have one tree that has all three fruits. Frankentrees.

As a biologist I can clearly state that plants are fucking weird and you should probably be slightly afraid of them.

On that note! At the university (UBC) located in town, the Agriculture students were told by their teacher that a tree flipped upside down would die. So they took an excavator and flipped the tree upside down. And it’s still growing. But the branches are now the roots, and the roots are now these super gnarly looking branches. Be afraid.

But Vi, how can you mention that and NOT post a picture? D:

I am both amazed and horrified of nature as we all should be

I love how trees are like “fuck it, I’ll deal” at literally everything. Forest fire? Cool, my seeds’ll finally grow. Upside down? Branches, suck, roots, leave. What’s this new branch? Eh, welcome to the tree buddy.

I continue to fear and respect out arboreal overlords.

what kind of professor did these students have that they needed to prove him wrong so badly that they literally dug up a tree, flipped it and put it back in the ground?

Sounds like y’all’ve never heard about the Tree of 40 Fruits. Well, it’s exactly as it sounds. Sam Van Aken, an artist based in New York, decided to try his hand at grafting (e.g. the process by which you attach the branches of a different tree to a host tree).

As artists are inclined to do he decided to push some limits and over the course of a few years he grafted over 40 different fruit onto the host “ including almond, apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach and plum varieties.”

It has a fruiting period lasting from July to October and this is what it looks like when blossoming.

Shit’s tight yo.

Also we have a group called the Guerrilla Grafters. A group who started in San Fransisco with the goal of grafting fruiting branches onto non-fruiting trees of the same type.

Most cities have fruit trees that simply don’t produce fruit because having all these would be a mess and inadvertently providing unregulated food to people comes with a lot of legal risks I suppose. These grafters seem to think otherwise and have taken it upon themselves to try and bring fruit trees back to urban areas.

Joe Biden crashed a college party in this new #ItsOnUs PSA explaining why sexual assault is *everyone’s* problem

Could vice president (and part-time TV actor) Joe Biden sneak into a college party in real life? Judging by a new Funny or Die video, he totally could.

trying to name a character, would love a little help!

He’s a strange man in ratty jeans and a hoodie. He gives you a name that’s pretty obviously fake, but you don’t pay it too much mind. You never learn his real name. Is his name Aster or Axis?

mydearwallflowers

For a name like Axis, it should be indicative of something about his character or his significance to the story. as in somehow much of the plot is connected to his actions, making the plot rotate around him or he thinks that the world revolves around him or something
