  • I don’t have any recommendations. I just want say those are absolutely beautiful. Well done, and please let them go to seed. I can’t seem to get them to grow at all in my zone, but they may be my favorite flowers.

    I am really enjoying all of your posts. Spring growing is pretty much over at my latitude, and we have entered the time of scorched earth. Lovely to see that somewhere, columbines are strutting their stuff!


  • I agree wholeheartedly with all you have said. It is especially frustrating when someone else’s emotions prime me to feel that emotion overwhelmingly when the next slightly justifiable situation occurs.

    For example, I had a friend who was going through the end of a terrible marriage and we talked about it a lot. She would leave, and then the next thing that came out of someone else’s mouth would often make me snap at them, which would confuse them. I would feel justified in my anger at the time because it felt so real, but later realize it was just carry over from my conversation with my friend.

    Luckily, she is divorced now and doing great.













  • Welp, that one user on reddit just cannot handle opinions that differ from their own. Nor can they clearly state what squid said that upset them. Sounds like that user only wants to hear their own opinion on things, which is really what creates an echo chamber. Sad for them to miss out on all sorts of cool stuff.

    But I completely agree with you about fighting the echo chamber effect. However, that does not mean anyone should be careful about putting thier opinions out there, that would just result in a different type of echo chamber. Blocks should only be for trolls, and not for differing opinions.
