We just wanted to make sure we did this meaningful topic the justice it deserves. Willow is an excellent guest and does extremely important work.

Hey Philly! Stay dry and get some local art at the Artpocalypse now art market from 12-5 at Starbolt (1936 n front st) in Fishtown! I’ll have native plants for sale alongside our native plant glasses, shirt, and more!

A collage of many pictures with the title "Artpocalypse now vendor preview". There are flowers with cat faces, pint glasses with cats and cockroaches and flowers on them, two pictures of native plants including swamp milkweed and NY ironweed with bees on each of them. Two freaky cherries made with quilts, a cat saying you look great I'm very proud of you, ceramics with slutty betty boop and a horse and a satanic cat, and skulls. A painting of a man in a corn field, a phillies t-shirt, and a painting of a ship

Back in the early 80’s, we took a Strong Interest Inventory Test in school to determine potential career paths. My suggested path was Botany. I laughed, & laughed, & laughed… #nativeplants

No, but they are in my phone. And I always have Native Plant Fran stickers in my car.

Spotted on my way home in my hometown! I wanted to run up to their car, knock on their window, ask what their favorite native plant was, if i could see their native plant garden & if I could show them my native plant garden. We need a secret road wave for native plant lovers before i get too creepy.

I asked ChatGPT to roast me. Here are highlights let’s talk about your look. Bald head, goatee, bright blue glasses— like Mr. Clean had a midlife crisis at a botanical garden Oh & your superhero version? What are your powers—Photosynthesize Awkwardness? Summon Latin plant names to confuse enemies?

Our favorite wasn’t an infocom game. It’s was in the same vane but with graphics and it was a take on Fahrenheit 451.

I will have to get the autograph book out of storage. I remember winning Zork I as a kid but it was a team effort. Don’t think we cracked II and III.
