A snake story, based on an experience I had while I was in Florida.

I'm doing it gang, I've spent stupider gardening money before like when I dropped $300 on shade loving perennial bulbs only to learn they were also plants that rotted with wet feet and all immediately died in my swampy gumbo soil
I'm buying two firefly petunias. I've never grown petunias much because where I live they're a winter annual but fuck it I'll grow them as an indoor plant I certainly have the sun to do it.
They're supposed to ship to me in April, I'll report back on if they immidiately die or this is the coolest thing I own. My biochemical engineering design project was using a similar chemical pathway to modify bacteria to glow in the presence of specific toxins so I absolutely need glowing petunias in my window box
Yaaalll my plants arrive tomorrow!!!! I'm so excited
My glowing GMO petunias have arrived!! I'm glad I ordered 2 one seems really leggy and about to snap off it's roots if I'm not careful transplanting. They've been in a dark box for 2-3 days so I can only just barely perceive light from the more sturdy bush if I close myself into my pantry, but it is definitely there!
I'm putting it under my aquarium grow lights for a few hours till full dark and I'll report back!!
I'll probably give them 2-3 days to recover from shipping before I transplant them
Holy shit y'all
The flower buds and new growth glow the brightest! This is so cool!!! I definitely want to know if it starts to glow more brightly with a few sunny days

I had to find this post. I read this in 2017 and it had a profound effect on me. I couldn’t stop saying it. It was echolalia. And now to this day, for seven years, I can still quote it perfectly Word for Word and often do when I do something stupid. This is the perfect post in my opinion

it's cool how these cost almost as much as my house
"Still love the truck btw"
remember how Tesla fans were bragging about the elegant simplicity of the wiring in these things compared to most cars?(read: there's very few circuits and little redundancy so small electrical defects can take out multiple critical systems)
Who could have forseen this.

Oh you have a cock? Prove it. Take multiple pictures from multiple angles, hard and soft, hanging loosely and you holding it in your hand. Also I wanna make sure it's working properly so post a couple videos of you nutting. Make sure to take a few pics of you squeezing your balls too just to enforce the idea ☺️
How do you people even find me

So you're telling me, after I finally got the laundry in the washer, I also have to wash the dishes? But that's it, right? They're clean forever after that, right? No more laundry, no more dishes ever again? Okay I'll be all right then I can do that much.
I have some tragic news to report that you're not going to believe.

“I know I’ve told this story before, but my abusive ex refused to let me take birth control. I was on the pill until he found them in my purse. I went to the Student Health Center—they were completely unhelpful, choosing to lecture me about the importance of safe sex (recommending condoms) instead of actually listening to my problem. Then I went to Planned Parenthood. The Nurse Practitioner took one look at my fading bruises and stopped the exam. She called in the doctor. The doctor came in and simply asked me: “Are you ready to leave him?” When I denied that I was being abused, she didn’t argue with me. She just asked me what I needed. I said I need a birth control method that my boyfriend couldn’t detect. She recommended a few options and we decided on Depo. When I told her that my boyfriend read my emails and listened to my phone messages and was known to follow me, she suggested to do the Depo injections at off hours when the clinic was normally closed. She made a note in my chart and instructed the front desk never to leave messages for me—instead, she programmed her personal cell phone number into my phone under the name “Nora”. She told me she would call me to schedule my appointments; she wouldn’t leave a message, but I should call her back when I was able to. And that was it. No judgment. No lecture. She walked me to the door and told me to call her day or night if I needed anything. That she lived 5 blocks from campus and would come get me. That I wasn’t alone. That she just wanted me to be safe. I never called her to come to my rescue. But I have no doubt that she would have come if I had called. She kept me on Depo for a year, giving me those monthly injections in secret, helping me prevent a desperately unwanted pregnancy. I cannot thank Planned Parenthood enough for the work they do.”

I know I’ve reblogged this before, but it bears re-reblogging (?). This is how you respond to abuse, this is how you give people control over their bodies/uteruses, this is how you act as a generally non-judgmental and compassionate person. I love this story so fucking much.

And THIS is one of many reasons why we need to safeguard access to birth control.
