Nobody throws shade like a biologist with burning hatred for invasive plants

In New Mexico, land managers have used goats to eat invasive plants and lower wildfire fuel in overgrown bosque areas. The goats clear low vegetation, open space for native cottonwoods and other plants, and help manage brush through targeted grazing.

Plant of the Day

Saturday 20 December 2025

This clump of Anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' (Japanese anemone) demonstrates this perennials ability to spread. It is ideal for brightening a shady border in the autumn. It grows well in a moist but well-drained soil and benefits from a mulch with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure.

This doesn't sit well with me. He is not common goods. Also those new shots from Rome...I don't know.

There’s a very specific kind of hurt that comes from someone being invasive and breaking your trust. It’s not just disappointment, it’s that sinking feeling in your stomach when you realize something private wasn’t handled with care. That someone stepped into a space you thought was safe and treated it casually.

When someone crosses a boundary, especially after you let them in, it can make you question yourself. Was I too open? Too naive? Should I have kept more to myself? But trusting someone is not a flaw. Opening up is not stupidity. The wrongness belongs to the person who mishandled what you shared, not to you for sharing it.

It’s okay if you feel exposed. It’s okay if you feel angry, embarrassed, sad, or all of it at once. Trust isn’t small. When it breaks, it shakes more than just that one relationship, it can make the whole world feel a little less safe.

You are allowed to take your time after that. To rebuild your sense of safety slowly. To be more careful for a while without feeling guilty about it. Protecting your peace isn’t being cold, it’s being self-respecting.

What happened says something about their boundaries, not your worth. You are still someone worthy of being trusted and handled gently. And one person’s carelessness doesn’t erase your ability to have safe, mutual, respectful connections in the future.
