This is a circle for discussing plants, fungi, and slime mold. From flower beds to hobby farms; from your dying windowsill basil plant to kitchen gardens; from wild mushrooms to your failed tabletop mushroom kit.
If the species falls under the aforementioned categories, you are welcome to share advice, success, and failure.
Identification requests are also permitted, just please add the "ID Request" flair to your post.
Lastly, pictures of animals (e.g. bees) in your gardens are also welcome, but please keep animal agriculture to an extreme minimum--our focus is flora, not fauna.
Guidelines:
-
Be very careful about revealing your location information. If you need to give details, you probably should be as vague as possible, ie: "a desert", "the southwest US", or "USDA Zone 9"
-
Be very considerate of the content of photographs and if they reveal anything that can be used to de-anonymize you.
Rules:
-
No exchanges. Don't give anyone your address.
-
Don't ask anyone for their specific location.
Additionally, the Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.

I would like to find another parallel that isn’t offensive to black women yes. Because they’re the afterthought in every feminist movement.
I suppose it’s different if you are also advocating for black women.
How does this one person speak for all black women? She's just sharing her personal view and you've decided never to bring up blackface again. She isn't even saying never say it again; she's saying it's done too loosely and too frequently. She says she personally thinks the two can be critiqued independently, but other black women hold that the comparison is apt and useful.
People can hold a different opinion and still advocate for black women. I believe black women are fully capable of forming rock-solid arguments without completely relying on appeals to emotion. That's me advocating for black women's full humanity.
Black women are not a monolith and one black woman's ideas about what's best might actually be a disservice to black women. Being offended isn't a great argument.
I definitely didn’t say anything about her speaking for all black women. I’m trying to be more mindful with my words. I don’t know why we are having this back and forth or why you’re saying what black women really need as if there isn’t black women in the post talking about it you can engage with.
Because women and girls are socialized to defer to anyone who says they are offended and that includes deferring to emotional appeals concerned with race that shut down discussions that need to be had. I see it as posturing, that's why.
I actually agree with that. Maybe I’m subconsciously doing that to an extent. But I’m also working on being anti-racist at this moment, so I’m trying to be more open minded and listen to black women about their feelings.

You have beaten your point repetitively now. I get it.
