I’m using a recycled gate, curated metal, wood pallets and plexiglass for the build!!
The seed and zine trailer represents a unique blend of art, education, and environmental activism. Through its mobile and interactive nature, it seeks to inspire and empower individuals to engage with their local ecosystems, explore their creativity, and become active participants in the movement towards a greener and more sustainable future. This art on wheels will serve as a beacon of knowledge, creativity, and environmental consciousness, leaving a lasting impact on the communities it reaches.
Currently in progress: building garden beds for free! (Aside from the cost of an axe & hatchet) I really had my heart set on raised garden beds but ultimately it would be too expensive to get the supplies right now, and we need to thin out the trees in our backyard. (Lots of skinny trees in high density) the previous owners left all those plant pots and grow bags in the picture, my son likes to play with them for now. :) (soon they will house my peppers!)
The sun stays on the left side of the yard, and luckily that’s where the highest density trees are, so once we cut them down it’ll open up the canopy and let in more light. I’ll have to get some topsoil though, the soil here is compacted as fuck!! (Seriously, I’ve never seen soil so compacted) where it looks like a bush behind the beds ( it’s trees we cut down) there’s a natural dip in the ground about 1-2 ft and I’m planning to put a wildlife pond there using a no-liner method.
Most of the light green growing in this picture is Chinese privet I haven’t yet cut down :/ and now I can see alllllll the poison oak that’s popping up :))))))) (I’m very allergic)
…
Front yard!
I got a packet of wildflower seeds and they’re just starting to pop up so I took a picture to compare to when they are more/fully grown! I also got some moss phlox (native) and snapdragons (favorite flower).
I meant to post this when I had my annual watch of Over the Garden Wall in October, but then I never did because I think I partly forgot and partly was worried about being annoying. But y’know I still love this show and want to share it, so here you have it.
My favorite Over the Garden Wall moments (at least all the ones I could find in gif form):
Had a short walk around and spotted signs of springtime. Some pretty grape hyacinths or muscari flowers.
The cherry blossoms are out too, will have to try and grab my camera for them, but it is also raining so....will wait for dry weather, hopefully they'll wait for me :)
I'm putting together a set of three table/garden beds for the Special Education classroom at my school. We're planning on putting Trax mats below it for wheelchairs, but I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for it's design!
I've worked with the teacher for measurements, but want to double check the height will be alright.
Hello Internet Stranger looking up G Gundam on Tumblr dot com!
This is an idea for a fic set in an Alternate Universe involving Queer Non-Canon Relationships between the characters of the series.

Ended up outlining a completely different fic as a Segway for an explanation instead of making progress on the Royal Flush Haunted Honk AU's Clown Motel Fic like I wanted to but uh....
For y'all's review for the AU: A Prequel Outline - Divorce Saga Domon
--------------------------------------
Hey real quick - I'm thinking of maybe changing the timeline to 2 years post canon as opposed to 3 years and change post canon.
The reason being: I had a thought that this scene could either be part if the fic or if it's getting to big then it could be a stand alone tie-in prequel fic as part of this AU but - like
Immediately Post Divorce Domon Needs Space and runs off. As one does. And he runs to Earth because he just wants to Get Lost for a while.
He has Argo smuggle him out to avoid detection.
Argo has Andrew help stow Domon in a storage hanger of a Neo Canadian supply ship that's returning to the US - they have trade often enough and share agricultural resources - which leads to Domon ending up in New York when he hits Earthside pavement.
He's privately worked on his English the last couple of months and after being dropped in New York with a different hairstyle, outfit, and accent he's unrecognizable.
He considers making his way west to get some solitude in the wilderness, but something about that initial plan feels off now that he's on the ground.
Chibodee is also Earthside for a special series of prize fights aimed at raising charitable appeal for the US in the eyes of Neo Americans.
Domon decides to hit up Chibodee for a fight on a day between matches hoping it'll clear his head and give him the clarity to decide on a course of action. What ends up happening is an unexpected heart to heart via blows and a breakdown.
Domon is happy for Rain and Kyoji, and he knows it's not true; but he feels like he lost a piece of himself when his relationship with Rain fell apart.
Domon's instinct is to run after that but Chibodee knows this city and Domon doesn't hide out for long before Chibodee drags him back to his place to stay and just "Chill out and breathe. You don't have to be anyone but yourself here. You can take as long as you need to find out what everything changing means for you." Friends and teammates stick together.
So Domon spends a few weeks with Chibodee sparring and hanging out in New York. Chibodee does a frankly awesome job at containing his feelings because he's focusing on Domons feelings and being a good friend first and foremost. Whatever he's feeling can wait until after Domon is done going though it.
There's a bit of a twinge in Domon's heart as he leaves that he can't really place.
After he returns to Neo Japan and gets settled back into life with his family, The Dreams start.
They're mainly set in New York. Small things first like noticing Chibodee's smile and his eyes. Then sparring sessions that begin to turn lurid.
He thought these kinds of dreams would stop after he was married.... he doesn't know what to do about this.
I just figure it gives more clarity and sense of time for the journey from Comphet Marriage Dissolution to Feelings to Confession. Idk.
But I got stuck on a bit and then had this thought and needed to get it down before I lost it and it was so long it made sense to make it its own post as opposed to several replies.
The Maize and Clown Motel will probably still be 3 years and change post canon for clarification.
i think one of the things most interesting about gundam is how unbelievably misread the idea and capabilities of newtypes are. and in part i get it. there's this ridiculous level of in universe propaganda about them as powerful pilots and soldiers, but at base newtypes are capable of incredibly powerful empathy. they're a socially forward group of neurodivergent people who can connect with each other and other people on a level so instinctively that it feels like predicting people's movements.
there's this inclination to explain every thing they perform as a facet of violence. they can read your mind, they can predict your movements, they can dodge fast and shoot faster. even when discussing them from an angle of nonviolent traits, they're described as natural leaders, they're more adapted to space, they're the saviors of humanity. even the term newtype presupposes things about them. we don't KNOW if zeon zum deikun meant them when he was drafting his contolism philosophy. so much of what's said about them is untrue or ideologically forward.
so is char a weak newtype? is judau a strong newtype? or is it just that, at a certain point, these people are being socialized to filter their experience of what being who they are is? there's so much gundam media that implies that the difference between oldtypes and newtypes is next to nothing. where bright seeks out communication with amuro first. and further, so many newtype experiences are on a level thats incomprehensible to the propaganda. and thats not even getting into the strange, heavily sexual aspects of their communication and how that flavors the way things like newtype clashes happen.
idk man. shit is just fascinating to me. stuck in my craw.
