Pictures from Week 2 of my garden growth. The whole album is located here
Gardening Thoughts
I come home and almost immediately check on my garden. I’m loving watching everything grow and feel like I have to resist taking new pictures every single day to record the daily growth. I haven’t posted the week 2 photos yet, and I will try to do that today.
I have this crazy love of the HBO series Girls. I know it’s gotten criticism for being very white-centric and because the lead character isn’t always likeable. But I think it’s more accurate than not, as most people aren’t necessarily as good or likeable as they think they are, especially in their 20s. I also love the tumultuous relationship between Adam and Hannah.
I love that these are real-looking people with real bodies and don’t look like they’ve all been under hollywood’s scalpel. Lena Dunham is doing amazing work and I think we’re going to see amazing things from here in the future.
True gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.
And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.”
My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because “everyone would know who ruled that relationship.” Perfect equality – my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part.

I might have reblogged this already but it’s so good I don’t care.

Still Technically in Week 1
But some of these things just seem to be shooting up, so I wanted to do an update post.

So this was after 1 week, now look at later on that same week:

Some of those seeds are just shooting up like crazy - the three tall ones I think are sunflowers.
Also check out my Cayenne Pepper - A Week 1:

And a few days later the first little flower has bloomed:

I’ll be going away again for part of the weekend (Friday to Alabama and Saturday/Sunday I won’t be home much) so I wanted to take a few reference photos before the official Week 2 pictures because these things are just exploding.

FCC Chairman Says It’s Okay to Be Charged for the Amount of Broadband You Use
Mr. Genachowski said tiered pricing, will “increase consumer choice and competition” and yield in “lower prices for people who consume less broadband.” Although, as Electronista notes, “he did not clarify what mechanism would drive prices down.”
Public interest groups have decried the potential impact broadband data caps will have on the market and innovation, not to mention the biases baked in the plans. Comcast, for example, counts Netflix video into its data plan, but lets its own XFinity service stream away.
…“increase consumer choice and competition”… yeah, that’s exactly what will happen. I mean, except for how that’s not what’s going to happen, at all.
Either this man doesn’t get it, or he is in the pockets of companies like comcast. Probably both.
What does it say if I pass up reblogging 5 other rad photos of comedy related things/peopleI love but do this one automatically?
