It's not owned by me, but it's tended by me for now. I also am tending to my parents yard this summer, and trying to transplant clover around their yard. Sofar the patches are still green but it's not quite growing time yet to see how well it'll take hold.
I usually have to make carpenter bee traps/lures so they leave the exposed wood around my property alone. They're going to collapse the porch at this rate.
The traps are basically just sections of 2x4 with little starter holes drilled here and there. Idk why but the chonkers seem to like those more.
There's a guy I know of who keeps bees, and while there are some people nearby who get pissy at him every time they see a bee, most people love how well all the flowers and gardens grow nearby and understand why they do.
This past year I went to someone's house nearby and their tree was blooming, but didn't look nearly as good as usual. And then I noticed I couldn't hear any bees.
When that tree has flowers, it's filled with so many bees you can hear it buzzing from the road about 300m away.
Now silence.
I haven't seen a bee around where I live in over a year. And I'm outside a lot in the spring and summer. Usually I get a few buzzing over me when I'm out in my hammock, but I have yet to hear one this year. I'm hoping they're just "sleeping in" a bit but I fear I already know the truth...
My parents outsource their Lawncare to me, and I have been taking the huge patch of clover near a corn field and transplanting it around their yard. Just cutting a shovel ful of dirt out and swapping them, and watering the area.
No idea if it'll work the way I want it to, but I guess I'll see if it spreads this summer.
I'd love to go to my in-laws and use a big seed spreader to throw clover and other native plants around, but that would just lead to them killing it all and hiring a lawn company to replant Kentucky bluegrass or something lame like that.
I keep telling people to let clover grow, and half the stuff that's supposedly bad for their lawn is actually good for a healthy patch of dirt but someone invented a problem so they could sell the solution.
I've actually had landscaping people knock on my door and explain that half my lawn is weeds and they can take care of it for me on a 6 month contract or whatever bs...
Like Bruh my lawn is carefully cultivated to grow all natural native plants, specifically with the intent of boosting local insect and pollinator activity, there's a reason this half-are is the only place you see butterflies.
I'm not about to let some punk in headphones and a "Lastname Lawncare" t-shirt flatten all of this to 1/2in of plain green uniform grass. That's boring as shit. And bad for the environment. And boring. as. shit.
Didn’t we have security leaks during his first term too?
Dude straight up stole classified documents, "LOST" (sold) a bunch while foreign nationals were occupying nearby rooms, then lied about it, then tried to hide it, then lied about trying to hide it. Then tried to hand wave it all by saying he prayeddeclared thought about them being declassified and therefore perfectly legal to do the things he didn't do.
A large portion of the world believes in various deities who "love us" so much they will condemn us to literal eternal torture if we don't believe hard enough and do what their books say.
When someone informs him it's named after a person he will demand that this domestic terrorist be brought in for impeachment and deported, not understanding why none of that makes sense
A few years ago I purged my face book profile with a script that edited every post with lorem ipsum, and then deleted the content.
It was embarrassing seeing posts from 10-15 years ago. Jesus christ I was an idiot. I still am, but I was then too. (thanks mitch)
In 2022 I did the same to my reddit account.
Same reaction.
Although it was interesting to see my comments go backwards from "burn the system to the ground" to "we need to make a compromise and reach across the aisle" and then from "all religions should be allowed to die" to "Yay Jesus"
Like I said, I was a big dum
Oh god I would hate to see my YouTube comment history from my first account...
God damn almighty these people are fucking stupid.
You know, I was about to go on about how they aren't stupid, they're cowards, because they fully know what you say is true, but they are too scared to say things out loud because then they'd be a target, OR because they believe in "the moral high road" and "believe the best in people" to a fault and "it wouldn't be proper!" to call a nazi... You know... a nazi.
But then I realized all of that, while possible, is still insanely fucking stupid
So I guess my point is "yeah, and giant fucking cowards to boot"
I mean, that should be the default for everyone, at all times regardless of whether they want to charge you for access. It's a garbage company run by garbage people and has done more harm to humanity than could ever be measured.
It's great that a convicted felon who absolutely committed treason by sharing classified documents with foreign nationals is allowed to decide OTHER people can't be trusted with information.
These guys need to decorate their walls with a small caliber paintbrush
"my centrism isn't a problem, it's DEMOCRATS for not being left enough, because then my centrism would really be centered"
Sure bud, whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.
You aren't wrong about democrats being spineless, but Personally I could never try and compromise with someone who thinks my very existence and the existence of minorities gives them a reason to hate and persecute up to literal lynching and murder but that's just me.
