“Jack,” said he, walking into the cabin, “what are you at?” “I am trying to get this God-damned plant to stand upright. Do what I may, they keep wilting. I water them before breakfast and again in the last dog-watch, and still they wilt. Upon my word, it is too bad.”

So this post is going to be a bit weird, but, bear with me.

I have these four plants. Seriously, bear with me. And for whatever reason, I decided to give them names: two are Good Omens characters, and two are from Discworld. Three of the plants are doing wonderfully-they're happy, healthy, growing like crazy.

Then, there's Windle Poons.

Windle Poons appears to be dying. At the same time, Windle Poons is not entirely ready to give up the ghost, as he recently made a new leaf.

If you've read Reaper Man, you'll know that there are some striking similarities between Windle Poons the plant and Windle Poons the wizard (mostly the dying part). So now, I can't help but wonder if I unknowingly cursed my plant by naming it.

Anyway, moral of the story is, be careful if you name your plants.

Also, does anyone know how to save Windle Poons? I've been trying a variety of things I've seen online to no avail.

no idea what to put them in/on long-term, I've never had airplants before, so for now they're just adorning my to read pile

#plant problems #ofc I went for the most massive airplants available #that's just one plant on top of the books #why start small

I wish there were plant doctors in the same way there are vets

I just want to shove my yellow-leafed plant against the chest of a specialist and be like “cure him”

Scutellaria parvula, aka small skullcap, aka dwarf skullcap looks so much like the Japanese Mazus that it's disappointing. Like, I was so excited at first when I noticed the Mazus, until I looked closer and discovered the leaves were wrong and it had yellow dots on the flowers. My hunt for native and local skullcaps continues...

ok this sounds insane but in 2018 i went to a few carnivorous plant talks at the botany conference in minnesota. i got caught up in conversation with one of the guys there who was a huge nepenthes guy who told me a story about another collector in the pacific northwest who'd been buying poached plants, like a huge amount, and eventually got staked out by the fish and wildlife service and arrested and had all his plants seized and went to prison for it. idk if i ever talked about this on this blog before-- i know i liveblogged a lot from that conference but cant remember what all i posted-- but ive avoided talking about it since then because i was never able to find like, news articles or anything covering it, but behold.... we now have proof it was real, and im like 80% sure this was this guy he was talking about. the raid happened in 2016 and they'd been staking them out since 2013. he had nearly 400 plants and had been sourcing many of them from poachers in indonesia and borneo.

remember folks: poaching happens with plants too! it's a huge problem not only in carnvirous plants (nepenthes especially, which this piece is dedicated to talking about) but also in native plant populations in the US, including native carnivorous plant populations (north and south carolina's venus fly traps, california's darlingtonia, and sarracenia from the east coast), native orchids (historically one of the most poached categories), desert plants/cacti/succulents, and slow-growing woody ornamentals (cycads, for example). never buy bare-root plants off ebay or facebook! your best bet is local nurseries (which usually purchase farm-raised plants that do well in a wide range of conditions, and as a result have a healthy population in the wild) or specialty greenhouses (more expensive, but at least in the case of carnivorous plants offer young plants bred from established adult plants in-house, raised in captivity).

#super sad piece fellas like this shit guts me i cant even stress it enough #stories about nepenthes poaching hit different #there are hundreds of species #some are really common and widespread all over indonesia/china/japan/oceania #and some are like. super hyperadapted to one specific ridge on one specific mountain #theyre still being recorded and stuff because theyve speciated so much #so youll have a plant that has like. a max of 15 adults in the population at any given time. literally a nightmare scenario #AND theyre diaceous (there are male plants and female plants). doesnt seem like a problem until you think about the population dynamics #there not only has to be two plants but the plants have to be a male and a female #and people living there have reason to take them. like the poacher interviewed in this article does it to supplement his income #from working at a horrifying rubber production ordeal to feed his wife and kids #and he says everyone in his village does the same for the same reasons #nightmare!! nightmare!! nightmare horrible nightmare world!!! horrible fucking nightmare!!!! #nepenethes #carnivorous plants #poaching #conservation

My Peperomia obtusifolia is slowly dying & I have no idea why

#I could cry... #I did everything that this on harding & flower site said... & it is still dying... #It is so fucking depressing... #Sometimes some of my plants are having some mood swings but they never last long... #But she is having a down phase that's not longer acceptable... #I was so proud because she was growing & now... She just gives up & is not telling me why... #Plant problems #My plants #Givemeaswordplant #givemeaswordpersonal

Sometimes, you just have to sit down and make yourself write!

But not yet, though.

i know the creators of worlds beyond number have been clear that they're not exploring a world with our real-life social strata

but that does not exempt *us the audience* from the biases and blindspots of our real-life social strata

every time i see a post that implies that suvi is uniquely unkind or arrogant, or more annoying than either of the other PCs, or that it's the presence of ame and eursalon that influence her towards humanity, i have to wonder if the poster is projecting onto a confident Black woman

the same thing happened with laerryn. xerxes was *actively courting a destroyer god* out of grief for his love, but we had sympathy for him. laerryn went to dizzying extremes trying to save her love, and we get:

"but laerryn cast blight on the tree!" "but suvi was trying to fight orima!" yeah, aabria is an excellent player who makes internally consistent character choices that drive the plot and drama of the whole game forward. stories without conflict aren't going to keep your attention, y'all should be thanking her for telling a good story

in other words: she should not need to be sweet and humble for you to empathize or understand or refrain from public judgment of her character. she should not have to make herself smaller for you to accept her persona.

interrogate your instinct to be publicly critical of her characterization and choices - is it really coming from an honest place, or are you letting some well-established biases that we're all indoctrinated into warp your perception of what all of the PCs are doing? a good indicator: do you extend the same level of critique to all of the characters, or just the one making choices you personally don't vibe with?

it's important for us the audience to be aware of how we participate in the ecosystem of storytelling. we're not just here to consume content for our own gratification. we also have to be good, thoughtful, active listeners.

i love how sometimes, despite all the medical advancements of the 21st century, the only thing that relieves pain is sitting/laying/standing in a weird position because it places/doesn't place pressure on certain spots
