I see some posts that go around that say that Mint is good for bees and I just want to say DO NOT PLANT MINT DIRECTLY IN THE GROUND. Either bury the pot or leave the pot on a porch. Mint is a weed and it will take over your garden, compete with your other plants for food and water, and grow from under concrete and rocks.
I also hear oregano and catnip is like this as well. Feel free to add any more since its garden season for many of us.
Mint takes your garden as yours, and you shall never be able to plant it again. My grandmother planted mint when she was a young housewife and it stayed there until long after she died. We sold the house with mint in the backyard.
This also applies to bamboo, by the way. You plant bamboo and it takes over your house.
If you’re going to plant for pollinators, choose native plants, not invasives (which everything mentioned here is invasive in the US.) Not only are you helping honeybees(which actually aren’t native) but also native species of bees, as well as many other insects who use these plants for food and/or shelter/and or nurseries for their young. Check with your local conservation district, department of natural resources, extension service, etc. or see if your state has a branch of the Native Plant Society where you are. Or just search Google for “[your state] native plants”. Not only are native plants more adapted to your climate and soil, but they’ll benefit a LOT more than just honeybees.
my child co-founded an informal harry potter club at school last week. this week, all clubs were officially disbanded by the teacher. in an ironic twist, my child (who hasn’t read ootp yet) said today, ‘but that doesn’t mean a group of friends can’t get together and talk about harry potter. we just can’t say that we’re a club’
I love how April 25th of 2018 proved to us that if you just let things happen and then just clean up an easy mess, you’d have zero problems to deal with.
Had Wikipedia not made a peep about Todd Howard’s page, people would’ve vandalized the page today, had a laugh, and then move on.
But Wikipedia did show signs of warning, and this ignited ambition, a sense of challenge within the people. And when people see a challenge, see, they find ways to overcome it, because that’s what humanity is all about: “I can’t do this this way, I’ll do it this other way, then”. Loopholes. Finding ways around. Doing what people told you not to do.
Result: Every single page related to Todd Howard, including different language editions of the Todd Howard page, is currently under siege.
A quick laugh is much like a tornado or an earthquake: A force of nature you cannot and should not fight against.
Tumblr users on April 25th, 2018: My ancestors are smiling on me Wikipedia. Can you say the same?
Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to edit the page, right? Walked right into that Wikipedia ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
we should make fun of americans more. why dont their shops include tax in the price tag. like how much does this item cost? its a surprise :)
Honestly, tea. I’ve lived here my whole life and I have never once known what my total is gonna be at the register. Total fucking mystery.
im an ex-american living in new zealand for the past two years and it still never fails to blow my mind that i can take a $2 coin, walk up to a counter with two $1 items, and perform the expected transaction
