I just think that if someone’s paying their rent and they are using the land you rent to them for its intended purpose (growing food and flowers for my households use) what does it fucking matter how they do it. Like please. What is the point. Chill the fuck out

Filed under: gardening is one of those hobbies where you meet people you'd never have reason to spend time with otherwise which is great! i love that i get to meet ppl and have reason to socialise with ppl who are largely of a different generation. it's interesting to meet people different to you! but in the same hand. oh my god i have met some of the worst people. and they arent the worst cause they are bad ppl. they are just oblivious. not everyone gets to have a healthy working body till they hit 60! not everyone has outdoor space at home not everyone has money to make this an expensive hobby. not everyone has a car to aid them with that hobby. not everyone has the time and energy to follow stupid rules that serve no purpose. if it isn't hurting anyone do you need to rule against it on allotments you find 2 types of hobbyists: ppl who like gardening. and ppl who like dictating how other ppl garden some ppl are honest to god in it for the rules. like. it irritates me to no end cause they put so many ppl off! diversity is good actually i like seeing someone a few plots over doing something bizarre and inexplicable. tell me more. please. i love that you are doing you I'm a big believer in knowing every rule and knowing why it's a rule. don't dump shit cause that makes the land unusable don't damage the soil because that'll have a lasting impact on the next tenant. look after the soil & don't turn it in to a dustbowl for the same reason you cant sell shit because we have a legal entitlement to land to grow things for our own use not commercial use. if you use this land for a different purpose than intended. everyone's entitlement is threatened. they'll say we don't need it and take it away. use it or lose it you can't have a cow here cause the land isn't big enough to treat that cow fairly. so restrictions on animals are fair as tbh are restrictions on trees (tho i badly want trees. i want them so bad.) a tree is a commitment. if you don't commit and tend to it it'll limit space to grow other stuff. as it can shade/ take water from veg beds which can produce more food limits on what chemicals you can use make sense! I'm not even against the no dog rule. some dog owners are super annoying & cause problems but some of these rules are for the sake of making up rules. if someone can argue a way they can do something without being a disruption to others or causing lasting damage. you should be able to say 'oh OK yeah. in this case that's fine'. its not reasonable to ban stuff cause you don't personally like how it looks. it's not OK to decide someones wrong cause they arent doing it as you would. you need to accept that ppl are different and not everyone wants to do things in the same way you do them not everyone's doing them for the same reasons

beeseverywhen:

Ugh very possibly overdid it at the garden today and concerned about the energy payback next week. But!!! Made massive progress in the war against the veg patch returning to grassland. Managed to water as well so hoping next batch of strawberries might be a bit healthier (at first they were the usual size but tasted pretty bland but recently they have been growing absolutely miniature and lumpy. I strongly suspect its cause they are dehydrated cause we’ve had no rain!!! and I’ve been too tired to water them at all (any watering I do manage has been going on the establishing plants and those that won’t grow at all without it))

I’ve got celery, squashes, corn and beets all doing well and tomatoes, cucumber, celery and kohl rabi doing less well, but yes! Hopefully some will survive till harvest. No strawberries to pick this time (I didn’t look tbh. They are overwhelming me lol) but loads of raspberries! They are strangely thriving this year. And I’ve got multiple varieties doing well (3 different colours!!!)

Thyme and rosemary are doing very well too

Flowers pretty much all died this year but there’s a few that have come up themselves in the beds

The site manager (volunteer lackey for landlord) (usually acts like he hates me tho I strongly suspect he doesn’t and has no idea that he rubs everyone up the wrong way.) came to talk to me (even tho I’d done a circuit of the nearby park after I saw him at the gate when I arrived). I’d successfully avoided him for over 6 months so was gonna happen eventually I guess lol. And he was surprisingly nice! He was still passive aggressive and kinda rude but he was only at the level he shows to everyone else and had left off the extra level he usually reserves for me.(He’s harsh to everyone but usually has a special axe to grind where I’m involved.) He didn’t even threaten to evict me! Just kept congratulating me on ‘finally doing what needs to be done.’ He did tell me about all the other ppl he’s intending to evict which I suspect was an attempt to remind me that eviction is always on the table but hey! No direct threat!

Him being so nice kinda gave me whiplash tbh. First of all he’s let me avoid him for months which??? Suspicious. And now he’s being all nice???

Filed under: I'm a little embarrassed to say I've noticed that this all started after he started being very harsh to me one day when i was very tired from the heat & standing so i was already kinda out of breath when he'd started talking. (have a chronic condition triggered by heat and standing/exertion) and i started trying to reply but could not catch my breath. and that's when i realise I'd also forgotten to take my inhaler that morning so i have to be like one minute. and like hold up my hand lol. so i can sit down and try and do some breathing exercises cause of course I'd also forgotten my rescue inhaler. and I'm kinda rubbing my chest cause it's really tight and I'm annoyed cause i really want to argue back. but i guess witnessing the flare up of asthma plus the sweating/pallor from the heat affecting me was a little concerning from the outside. (i was fine!) and he started drawing lines that weren't there. but i couldn't catch my breath to explain. so he's like. 'haven't you mentioned you've got a heart condition?!' like yes. but that's not... anyway little worried that he's only started being his version of nice to me. as he was worried he'd given me a heart attack or something that day. and like. he thinks there's an actual danger in upsetting me. which is the worst reason!!! that makes me so mad! don't only be nice to me because you think I've got a weak heart and can't take it! that's some kind of bullshit anyway my family find this a) funny and b) don't see the issue as its like. you were always annoyed that he didn't consider your disability and asked you to do things/ do things in ways you physically couldn't. like yes. this is true but. my issue was that he wouldn't listen and he still isn't listening! he's changing his behavior based on a imagined disability. while he couldn't be considerate of the one i have he still isn't listening is he? he's still deciding what i can't do without asking and ignoring what i tell him. like pshhh anyway. wholly annoying. and now he's acting unpredictable which has me on guard lol. it's really important that i stay active. to manage my disability & stay as well as possible. but drs orders. cant do anything high impact so gardening is such a good form of exercise. as long as i adapt it (no double digging lol. pacing. don't it sitting down.) but ppl make so many assumptions about what i can't do. (i had to take on less land than i wanted as it was assumed i wouldn't manage) and yet when there's something i actually can't do. that has no real consequence to anyone else. ppl can't deal. i can't spend all day once a week sweating away. i have to rest while I'm there. what does it matter to you if i do no dig. like. with a disability. the things that help are largely things that ppl don't consider to be adaptations. so they don't account for them unless you say. which is fine. i don't expect everyone to be an expert. but for the love of God listen to me. i know more than you!

the sexual tension between a 20something year old and having emotional stability

my favorite part about being a 20something year old is thinking i’m emotionally stable and then having an absolute breakdown 2 seconds later

it’s cool that every website on the internet is noticeably dying because the morons who bought up the entire thing only just now realized that they can’t have infinite profit growth forever and now we’re gonna have to deal with whatever crypto blockchain metaverse bullshit will inevitably replace it all

turns out this was not a glitch and elon implemented a new policy that you can only load a couple hundred tweets onto your timeline a day and then you’re blocked from using the website for the rest of the day. this guy is honestly a genius
