Thanks to @mrprofessor318.bsky.social I learned that Pony is turning 30 this year. Doing some quick math that means I was 11 when the song came out. I was OBSESSED with that song. To be fair I still kind of am. But where the hell were my parents?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbno...

Yogurt is one of the big appeals for me. I don't like yogurt but I've always wondered if I made it at home would I like it better?

I've been kind of leaning towards Instant Pot if I'm honest. But I've never owned one before so like...I don't know what downsides there might be.

Slowcooker or Instant Pot? Our slowcooker died over the Christmas break and now that we're in the market for another I'm wondering if we should go Instant Pot, never had one before. For context we are two adults and a cat who begs for our meat.

Pretty sure it's pumpkin. The only other option it might have been was patty pan squash and it doesn't look like that's the case.

Pretty sure it's a pumpkin :D Not the best thing to be growing on the balcony but *shrug*

I planted a bunch of seeds last year trying to use up some seeds that were getting old. Nothing came up then so I wrote them off as a lost cause, but this one has decided to come up this year. So I have a few ideas on what it could be, but until fruit starts forming it's a mystery

The color on that morning glory 😍 Adding it to my list of need to grow!

Maressa aka Shannon @maressa.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

I think mine are going to turn out to be patty pan. The problem is it's from a seed planted early last year and last year I had nothing but weeds come up, so I have no idea what it is!

Gorgeous flowers! What are they? I don't recognize the striped one or the orangey one.

Agreed! It's a super cute sign, but @gardenswillsaveus.bsky.social clearly needs it most.

Update on the mystery plant...it's looking more and more squash like to me! 🌱

Oh I should add that last year I didn't have anything I tossed into the bed actually grow. So this is from seeds I planted last year.

Maressa aka Shannon @maressa.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Can't be unless it came out of the seed packet that way. I've never grown anything big like that since I only have a really small balcony.

Maressa aka Shannon @maressa.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Had a random plant come up in my balcony garden. My plant ID app can't decide if it's cucumber, pumpkin, or some form of squash. I didn't plant any of those this year. Last year I tossed a bunch of random seeds into the space though so....yay plant adventure! 🌱

I need a job where the whole thing is just coming up with ideas. Need an idea for a novel? I've got tons. Need an idea for a website? I've got way too many. I remember when I was 8 and I had an idea for a business doing people's grocery shopping and then taking it to their house...in 1994.

I've been up since 3 in the morning so I'm too tired to properly rant but... an emojicast? Are they trying to appeal to 8 year olds? Are adults not mature enough to watch the pollen forecast without little sad faces?

A pollen forecast from a local news channel that uses emojis to show how bad it will be. They call it the Pollen Emojicast.

Did you know the US House of Representatives passed the Save Act, which doesn't let women vote if they have a different last name from the one on their birth certificate? And by the way, if it passes no one can vote if they can't show their birth certificate. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

So just to keep up, the plan is, we’re going to raise tariffs so high no one can buy things, then we’re going to build factories with no OSHA protections, no pollution standards, no change to the minimum wage, and open to child labor. So we are partying like it’s 1899, that’s the plan.
