Trying on my new compression shorts. I finally made it past 250. Can I make it 260 by the end of the month? I’m gonna try.

Do your rules say what to do with a pea seed that first has its radicle emerge and grow downwards. And then um. Have another radicle emerge and grow upwards. (Idk if it was anatomically another radicle but it lacked cotyledons and chlorophyll.)
i hate to be a seed analyst on main but it could have been a secondary epicotyl? peas have a thing where if their terminal bud (area of the stem with the leaves) gets damaged, they can send up a second one, but in my experience it looks a bit wonky in comparison, like kind of stunted and stiff and not really as stem-like. according to the AOSA rules for peas (might be different depending on which rules youre going by), each seedling needs to have at least one strong epicotyl with good leaves to be considered normal, and a damaged primary with a good enough secondary epicotyl with those characteristics can pass as a normal seedling if they have leaves at the top and a nice root and looks...fine, but if its just a pale peg thing, it's not considered enough to make up for a missing stem. id call it abnormal (wont make it to adulthood or if it does, wont be a normal productive plant).
alternatively, if it genuinely was growing two roots, no epicotyl/damaged shoot would be my official reason for saying it's abnormal. unofficially i would say Damn Thats Crazy.
(also, a note on pea anatomy-- in the case of peas, the cotyledons are most of the seed itself that stays below the soil, and then the plant sends up a stem and just uses it as a food source. so the little guy DID have cotyledons, it just...was not putting out an actual stem + leaves. the no chlorophyll part doesnt surprise me, a lot of newly germinated seedlings take a minute to get their chlorophyll and look pale at first, then develop actual green coloration in their leaves and stems as they get to be around a few days old-- especially if theyre being grown in low/no light-- but if it stayed with no chlorophyll it would be albino, which is very possible and an abnormal condition in most rulebooks).

Have you ever seen the appeal for putting characters in maid outfits?
no I actually super dont get that. I dont find that the stereotypical French maid outfit has much appeal at all

There is sooo much concentration happening as I learn how to do wrap & turn short rows. You can see already how the short rows are forcing the piece into more of a triangle shape; the pumpkin marker is the middle where the short rows started.

This was not going as planned at all.
She thought it was going to be a photo shoot, so she got got changed into the dress and was instructed to take her place by the camera equipment near the window.
Rather than take pictures though, they opened the window and pushed her out onto the scaffolding outside. They then locked the window, smiled and waved.
There didn't seem to be any other way in - she'd have to find a way down the scaffolding or into another window.
And boy, was it windy up here.
