Ahh yes, and the timing is because that's when I make the new things and need more room. 😂

I cannot, to save my life, get ground cherries of any other variant to grow. Been trying for a couple years.
I usually pan roast my tomatillos, green tomatoes if I'm using them, onions, garlic, etc, before turning them into salsa. I'm sure the ground cherries would be great in that mix.

My squirrels are *also* very aggressive, but planting a huge number of sunflowers dramatically decreased the amount of produce they steal.
Also they don't like the tomatillos or peppers, for some reason, just squashes and tomatoes (and sometimes cucumbers).

Good thing they had two!
The first year I grew them, I didn't realize they won't self pollinate, so I didn't get any fruit. Just very tall plant.

It is October 15th.
I have written 30 poems, so far, this season.

Looks delicious 😋

My tomatillos outperformed my tomatoes this year, which feels totally wild

I have so many extra shishitos in my garden. What did they put on those?

They need *so much* stimulation

Yeah, and this baby is 2 so is only $110 at the shelter, but she's on the verge of under weight and you know she's got trauma from being a young surrender like this (the minute they realized she wasn't gonna age out of the action, I bet).

I can't blame you! Especially if the roommate wasn't prepared

Yeah, I have a couple friends with bengals. One of whom lives in an apartment, and observing them go through that was sure something!

I would be up for it if I only had one other cat, but not with the combination of cats and kids!
I don't need a permanent toddler for the next 16 years.

I do not want a bengal. But my local shelter has one, who is clearly all bengal. She's young, too. And it makes me so mad.
(They also have tons of huskies and pibbies right now, like no one could be arsed to read the manual)

Oof.

They're doing face scanning bullshit, and I recommend that you inform TSA loudly that you decline face recognition, but they'll be grumpy.

Ok. So, you'll probably be in B, but if security is really busy (they say on the website now), you can walk up to the new security at terminal A, and it's usually less crowded and faster.

Also they added body scanners, and I think those are newer than 13 years (2018 maybe? Maybe 2016)

Loose Leaf Queer @genderqueerwolf.bsky.social · 2d

No, but they added more.
Do you know your flight (airline) already?

My long distance partner flies here to see me every couple months. So we unfortunately are keenly aware of the degradation of travel in current events.

Even DIA is experiencing terrible lines, and virtually every plane has delays.

As if our entire system wasn't already one giant bailout to them 😮‍💨

😂😂😂 I did IRC but not much, just here and there

My parents ran their own, and so did some of their best friends (all of whom they met on BBSes), so I was on them quite young.
