stay safe out there, peeps. :(

aaaa

dear past me, thank you for assuming that the tasty falafel recipe would get taken offline at some point, and copying it down in advance of that.

“These events, as well as internal conversations among Paizo workers, have uncovered a pattern of inconsistent hiring practices, pay inequity across the company, allegations of verbal abuse from executives and management, and allegations of harassment ignored or covered up by those at the top. These findings have further galvanized the need for clearer policies and stronger employee protections to ensure that Paizo staff can feel secure in their employment.”

I kid. in the case of the basil seeds, this is more a tribute to the quality of the basil seed, and the storage in a cool, dry place.

most gardening didn't happen this year, due to a non-working arm.
but I planted basil seeds back in May or so. the package was from 2016 and I didn't expect anything to grow. I gave them two weeks and nothing grew. so I tossed the soil into one of the planters and forgot about it.
5 months later, I appear to have one basil seedling.
this is the same way we got an avocado plant out of an avocado seed, so maybe I need to ignore my seeds more often.

once again, thank goodness for domain blocks. *shudder*

I'm also (still) surprised by people who don’t want to drink chlorinated water.
the alternative there is brain eating amoebas, among other fun things.
btw, the brain eating amoebas have made it to Texas.
I’d really rather have the chlorinated water, thx.
