Been spending some quality time with this summer’s MAIN plant of the day ☘️

One thing about me is that if I have admired your garden several times during walks and I see you outside, I WILL stop and tell you how much I love your plants!

Issue #10 of Seed Magazeen - The Net Zero Issue! This DOUBLE 40 page magazine delves into Net Zero! To celebrate us reaching Issue #10, we printed this issue in 3 colours, AND doubled the size! peregrinecoast.press/products/see...

I’ve been rather busy lately but for good reason! I’m happy to announce I’ve secured a summer job assisting in post-doc plant research at my university!!! It really is so wild and wonderful and incredibly exciting so far, and it’s a big honor to have been awarded the position 🥹❤️

See you all in #deltarune Chapter 5

For my bonus class this summer, occasionally we’ll have a little weekly activity labeled as the “Big Challenge,” and I can’t stop thinking about them

Pasta bake may be the craziest thing I’ve ever done like what do you mean this took 30 mins tops!!!! AND vegetarian!!!!

Jet lag is kicking my ass but!!! Pasta bake is happening tonight as well as reading and starting the new job tomorrow so all is well ☺️

stop generating crap you look stupid! 🐟

Write it down before all the pencil factories close shop. We live in that timeline. Next to the tech draw full of USB A cables and Nokia phones, keep an analog drawer. Pencils. Paper. Maybe an eraser if you're rich and can afford mistakes. Long live print. Long live analog.

Turned 30. Family time, friend time, summer sun time. Tomorrow I fly back to beautiful Wales for more plant adventures. The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite. In a way, it’s always been this ❤️

flower monday

THE EVIL LAB REPORT GRADE IS OUT AND WE MADE IT TO A FIRST!!!!!! Genuinely need to lie down about this news, I was the most worried for this one as it was my least confident area so I’m overjoyed. I’m floored. I’m lying down!!!!

For the first time in almost three weeks, I am pain free, (almost completely) cough free, and can move around, speak, and breathe as normal. I’m so incredibly relieved 🥹❤️

And slam in the back of my Mushroom car

How crazy. Would it be. If I bought a ticket. And did a travel back to the US for one weekend. I mean it’s a bad decision. However,

Been listening to a LOT of Will Wood these past few months, particularly the frankly visionary album SELF-iSH, and this whole time I’ve been thinking surely this man can’t be cishet. No cishet can write music like this. And then today I discovered I/Me/Myself and I’m like yeah. I thought so.

the hungry observatory

VERY EXCITED TO REPORT THAT CROP REPORT GRADE CAME OUT AND WE GOT A 90% OH MY GOD!!!!!!

Sickness recovery continues. I can breathe fine and good again but my residual cough is very exhausting. I’m taking the day to not speak and practice non-coughing techniques to hopefully help :’)

⛽️

I’ve been chatting with my university and they have been so kind to allow me to take the exam later during the resit session for an uncapped mark. Disappointed that I can’t finish the whole end of this year until August, but so grateful I have the chance to give it my best shot with understanding ❤️

Went to A&E yesterday and discovered it is not my normal chest inflammation but instead mayhaps pneumonia!! They weren’t quite sure!! I’m on antibiotics now, but I think this last exam on Tuesday is just going to be a “make it through” exam :’)

EXAM ONE OF TWO COMPLETED!!!!! I have been hindered by my condition to say the least, meaning these next few days are going to be study intensive, but I think I had a good showing on today’s exam. Maaaaaybe in first territory, perhaps perhaps!! 🙂‍↕️🙏

Been recovering from being VERY under the weather since last night and watching some video essays and wow. Who’s Lila, huh. Taking me back to philosophy class in college so many years ago. Incredible little piece of art

Knew many people who loved this program as kids! Local libraries often do summer reading programs as well (for all ages!!) with fun, free activities, food, and prizes as well! So encouraging to see a spotlight on reading again ❤️

'My heart beats [in fields of] gold #2' - my newest spring embroidery landscape of oilseed/canola fields in acid yellow, earthy tilled fields and cows grazing in meadows 💛 spring is finally here! My heart feels lighter 🌱 now available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/oilseed... #art

LRT really incredible news about the four FE men, I’m so excited to read the paper, congrats to the genealogist who assisted! To have a definitive answer after all this time, I’m overjoyed for their families 🥹❤️

A huge congrats to Kaitlyn on her contributions to the recent ID of the remains of FOUR (!!!!) new Franklin Expedition men, as part of Dr. Douglas Stenton's research team. Full scientific paper in the thread. For access to Kaitlyn's 2025 TC presentation, please email command [@] terror dot camp.

Watched HOKUM last night and really enjoyed it! It’s a fun choice to make the lead character, a writer, more staunch asshole than tortured soul (though that is not entirely incorrect). I think many writer characters live in the shadow of Stephen King, but Adam Scott does a well enough job to—

Idk man I feel like even if AI scraped from 100% ethical sources, had zero impact on the environment, and produced gorgeous work, I’d still think you were a bitch for using it

Sunday out in a really lovely local garden with the National Garden Scheme! Absolutely gorgeous to walk around in AND bought a delicious homemade victoria sponge to snack on before heading home ☺️❤️

'Beltsville Agricultural Research Centre', Maryland - I was privately commissioned to memorialise the BARC by a past employee after learning it will be shut down by the USDA after over 100 years of research. They wanted to focus of this aerial embroidery to be the field plots... 1/3 (see thread)

We had some beautiful weather in beautiful wales this past week, so here are some beautiful plants around town to match!

Lesbian knights ⚔️

it's their month!!!! 🌼

Thrilled to say that after a million years and late nights and early mornings, all reports have been submitted on time and completed!! Their quality was my best attempt in the span of a month. War is finally OVER!!!!

He’s worried about stepping on flowers. He loves nature.

IT’S OVER. The crop report continues tonight but it’s OVER. I feel like I’ve been through HELL and LIVED!!!!

It needs a good edit and the figures inserted by we are DONE!!!! Thank GOD!!!!!!!

FINAL DISCUSSION SEGMENT WE ARE SO CLOSE!!!!!

The mol bio writing has been slow but steady all day. 1300 out of 2000 words and only two meaty segments left before the intro and outro, and we’re FREE

ALL REFERENCES FOR BOTH PAPERS HAVE BEEN GATHERED. ONLY WRITING REMAINS. THE WORST IS OVER!!!!!

5 topics I could give an hour long talk on! 1. The important of plant biodiversity even in human-made habitats 2. Floral design 3. My dnd oc 4. Container gardening 5. Architectural horror as an underutilized concept

Happy 34th Anniversary Kirby!!! #Kirby34th

Was tickled by this post earlier so I was absolutely THRILLED to see Him during my grocery run tonight

Good progress made last night!! I THINK I have the rough concepts, well, conceptualized and have put the broad strokes together for methods and results. I feel a bit more relaxed onto discussion, though whether that’s delusion remains to be seen. Today we continue!

Slowly gaining ground against the molecular biology paper…every day we fight on…

"Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high" we're trying to one-up butterflies now? Okay....

Another small piece for national poetry month and our flower of the day! Inspired by all the beauty of spring currently blooming in my little town, and more specifically the tear-jerking sight of my local woods today. Just incredible, moving botanical beauty.
