If it’s not native to your area and it grows like a weed, it probably is. Maybe you think you don’t care right now, but if it starts taking over the landscape and destroying the local ecosystem you’ll feel differently.

This article is quite welcome, as past Lifehacker columns have been promoting planting invasive species in gardens.

I do support planting more natives and have definitely seen more pollinator diversity since I’ve been planting them. I am however really surprised to see bindweed, a horribly invasive plant, on that NWF list of native plant recommendations for my area. Ugh, bindweed. It’s my nemesis. Likewise Virginia Creeper is a…

I try my best to grow native plants around my house and encourage biodiversity.

Because of TV shows with magical Deaf people reading lips left and right and from around corners and 100 ft away, never missing a beat, people believe this crap.

First of all, fuck the landlord who called the cops on her. Second of all fuck that cop for being a sleazy piece of shit and treating a deaf woman as if she’s not even human. He didn’t need to pull her out of the car. He could have stood a safe distance away, pulled down his mask, and talked. I’m sure she’s able to…

At my house two lines that get thrown around frequently.

Netflix will crash tonight with everyone binging Arrested Development.

A friend said to me that she didn’t know how I got out of bed in the morning and I told her, you just open your eyes, acknowledge a new day is here, and then put one foot in front of the other. That’s the best you can expect of yourself. But…

I do. I hope they all get theirs. I do and I have for a very long time now and will until I die. There are not two sets of very basic rules to live by, yet people choose to do whatever the fuck they want, and for that I cannot abide.

On top of a pile of money and privilege, secure in the knowledge that consequences are for the little people.

John Lovett (from Pod Save America, not SNL) put it best when he said Twitter is like the movie Inception, where you think you’re in the middle of an action scene but you’ve just been asleep the entire time.

I have been slowly building up my pantry, something I intend to continue doing this next week. I don’t want to panic buy because that causes problems, but I definitely have more flour, sugar, and butter than I am likely to go through very fast. And liquor. I’ll probably buy another flat of tp next time I’m shopping…

The reason I almost want Trump to go for that media empire, supposedly it would be built off of OAN, is that not only would it split some of the audience from Fox’s talking heads, but Trump is such a horrible businessman that watching its inevitable collapse would hilarious.
