I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.

Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.

YES

[amysnotdeadyet]

also technology breaks at random, and sometimes you just suddenly feel a thousand years old

[variablejabberwocky]

everybody has a half dozen names and none of them are their “real” name.

which name(s) you know gives you different powers over them.

there are Rules but you mostly have to figure them out for yourself.

getting the Rules wrong or breaking them can cost you more than you ever even knew you had.

learning how to garden and grow plants is so difficult, because if you can’t do it right from the beginning (which we can’t), then you’re going to kill plants and that’s sad and I feel like giving up rather than learning more and risking more accidental plant-killings….

[meeresfem]

I think we need to learn to trust nature’s abundance. Plants produce hundreds, thousands, sometimes millions of seeds. So what if I use some of them to learn how to grow? There’s no waste. Even if the seed didn’t turn into a plant, it turns into compost. The soil and the pots can still be used. Maybe next time… or the time after that! One day it’ll work out. Some seeds may never grow into big plants, but nature has foreseen this and planned for it.

Learning to grow and connect is a worthwile enterprise and worth spending some time and a handful of seeds on. Learning to trust in nature’s abundance, if we are humble and respectful.

Learning to trust in our own abilities. Maybe learning takes time. Time will come. It’s ok.

Also, your garden, your soil, is alive. It’s a partner in your attempts to get things to grow. Part of working with that living thing is figuring out what it wants and likes - which things suit it and which don’t.

Learning the foibles of your own environment can’t be done without a few plants dying. How else are you to know that this plant that says it thrives in shade won’t thrive in your shady spot, unless you try it and see?

To find out what grew in my garden I had to try a lot of plants, and the garden self-selected what it was going to keep.

Gardening is a partnership with nature. It’s not all about you. You can do everything perfectly and if that plant doesn’t want to grow, it will not grow. Trust nature’s abundance, and trust your own abilities, but also learn to respect your garden when it says no.

Half of what has made the past two years gardening valuable for me has been learning that I have to adapt to my environment rather than expecting it to adapt to me.

(tl/dr - it may not be you who’s killing the plants. It may be your garden. Killing off like 95% of the plants that try to grow is just nature’s way. Don’t beat yourself up, just try something different, and eventually you’ll hit on something that does thrive there.)

Thinking about a girl I grew up with who spun her dog's fur into yarn, then knitted gloves out of the yarn and how all the other kids made fun of her mercilessly for it.

And how she's now used those gloves for over thirty winters and each time she puts them on, she gets to pet her beloved dog's fur even though Ginger is long gone. And how even though her bones have long since been swallowed by the earth, Ginger is still protecting her owner from the cold.

Just an ancient pact, passed down from the earliest dogs that slept beside humans to keep us warm, continuing on for decades after one of their deaths.

a single mom feeding her kids is scamming the government but the outlet of a megacorporation posting fake job listings with no intention of hiring for tax rewards or whatever is fine

Never forget that the physicians and "detransitioners" they bring to speak against trans healthcare are paid enormous sums to give false testimonies. They're not legitimate sources and shouldn't stop you from living your best life (source).
