Generations are mostly a fake concept, except when a historic event like WWII actually creates a stark dividing line in lived experience based on age. COVID was one of those events, and yet we're not allowed to change where the line is because of some Salon thinkpiece in 2016.
This is the kind of shit Godspeed You! Black Emperor would use as an album cover with a title like "And the Holy Flame Blinded us for 333000 Years Pt. II"
here's my problem with "the pitt": the way the season turned out was NOT the same as the way i depicted it on my kitchen table using my homemade "the pitt" character dolls and impersonating all of their voices. and i think we all need to talk about that
I have NEVER seen this in my 13+ years gardening! This is an albino cucumber, in the sense that it has a genetic mutation to either not synthesize chlorophyll or not even produce chlorophlasts (the things that synthezize chlorophyll)
You can tell it's a true albino because the stem is also pure white. It's smaller than the rest of the cucumber seedlings as well...
You might be wondering how it was even able to survive to this point - don't plants need chlorophyll to photosynthesize?
YES, they do - but seeds have a little trick up their sleeves in the fact that they have endosperm, which is basically energy from the parent plant that produced the seed it "packs" into the seed to help them get through the first 1-2 weeks of life
It's highly unlikely this plant will survive another week, so it's VERY cool to catch this phenomenon!
A client going to Augusta this week challenged me to see if I could embroider him a hat honoring the Black caddies at the Masters today.
I told him give me an hour.
I know what I have to tweak but it came out pretty good for the time allotted.
if u say no to pretzels, the flight attendant should give u something called a Coin of Restraint. while worth nothing now, these coins will play a major role in the afterlife

Fascinating platform story happening around the Graham Platner stuff. The source of almost all of the discourse about Platner on X right now is an account that only had 70 followers at the start of the week, isn't a real Maine news outlet, and was created in August.
