Looks terrific! Our spring was so cold mine are just a couple of weeks after sprouting. I'm trying to grow the little French cornichon type to make my own again (last time was 20 years ago and a different climate so fingers crossed).

And it looks like I'm in a crowd of us (yay!). Maybe some of the more science heavy Connie Willis? Some of the humor may go over his head though.

Coming here to say my once 14 year old loved the Andy Weir books (and Murderbot).

If I think of it as fan fiction it's great so far!

They are def mutants! But why are they even orange when cats don't see orange?!? Ever since I read "An Immense World" it's been on mind... I'm guessing they're orange because humans like them that way. (Also check out Darwin's Cats- maybe they prove what we already know.... orange is crazy!)

Those all make me eye roll for exactly the reason I think you're alluding to. But I gotta admit the one "I bought before I knew Elon was a Nazi" did make me smile even though I still don't believe them (the Paypal Mafia SUCKS)...

The other I haven't found anything about in my brief search today. Margaret S. Forbes Irvine and Peggy Craig. I can post that one here, the other has family in it so I'd rather not post but happy to share another way.

Yes, sure. I went back and dug through my photos and it turns out neither couple had been buried together but were photos of the memorials one woman of the pair had erected to their "friend/companion" of "many" or "forty" years. One has since been written about online- Mary Bristow/Elyza Fraser.

Thank you for sharing this, I really love those long past glimpses of queer life that managed to persist. I took photos of a couple of gravestones in Scotland that had lady companions who lived together for 40+ years and were buried together. It didn't occur to me to ask a librarian about them!

I had this same experience with my SE Asian spouse and (but it was Thailand so maybe I haven't hit the platonic ideal yet). Here in Silicon Valley Apni Mendi gets in shipments of many different varietals from India, and at $50+ a box people snatch them right up!

Along with not being worried you'll bleed out at a hospital due to new laws about the sanctity of life if you are knocked up, better health insurance options for the whole family, better care and support options for senior/aging parents, free college, etc. etc.

Also, there's a ton of imported goods (ok fine, the goods are food we use for cooking) that simply have no US made counterpart. I say this as a buy local diehard who shops farmers markets and slow fashion and believes in buy once cry once etc etc. PS.... What is up with their daddy complex?
