i really wish more people on the left understood how to think like a politician. as in, *strategy.* sometimes you push initiatives that are destined to 'fail' because it keeps the issue in the news. sometimes you push something the public wants and that you know your enemies will vote against, so you can use that voting record as ammunition. every political action has multiple layers like this. not just the literal stated goal.

i started paying more attention to native wildflowers when i started thinking of suitable accent plants for my native maple bonsai. the problem is that so many local wildflowers are European invasives, and true native plants are difficult to find in garden centres.
the other difficulty is finding suitably miniature species. Jewelweed - too tall. Swamp iris - also too tall. Turk's Cap lily - way too tall. but this little thing called blue-eyed grass? perfect, and frickin' adorable.

volunteer lilac update: the Japanese lilac seedling spent about two months apparently just sitting there, surviving but doing nothing. i suspect it was using that time to generate roots. now it's putting out a nice flush of growth. the top four pairs of leaves have all come out in about the span of a week.

do lefty journalists just not realize that they'll be first against the wall if they facilitate the Biden loss they're pushing so hard for
