"propagation piracy is wrong–" I would download a plant. some of my best plants are downloaded.
enough of my plants are downloaded that every now and then I'll be watering my plants and go "………where did this one come from?" because I cannot for the life of me remember if it was a cutting I got from a friend or a it was stray leaf from a store or if I paid actual money for an entire plant. I had a mint plant (that tragically perished) that I still don't know the origin of. Most likely it was a pocket sprig but it also could have been a restaurant garnish. That's how I got two separate Thai basil plants. noodle restaurants just give that stuff away for freesies
ALT@teazzle when they give you something whole like this:
ALTYou can literally just take this guy home, sit it in a cup of water, and let it root. I usually trim off the end when I get home to give it a fresh drinkin' end, and make sure no leaves are submerged. Basil wants to root so so so bad; you'll see roots within a week or two, and once they're a couple inches long, you can plant them– just be gentle, those roots are fragile :)
I've only done this with Thai basil, but it would be the exact same for any other type of basil or mint as long as you have some stem.

Everyone on tumblr has Conditions. maladies. I log onto tumblr and my mutuals are unwellposting. Conditions I didn't even know existed and sound like dark curses but I will see a post from friend like "died about 60% today, fine now. Made egg on toast #yummytoast". There are so many people in this world with life experiences
"If stuff was just handed to me I'd have no motivation to do anything! That's human nature!"
No, babe, that's depression. Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn't being actively threatened.

okay so like, we all know that housekeeping in a hotel is a Shit Job, right?
I worked with a woman who was independently wealthy. But she liked working housekeeping. So she did. And if the manager got bitchy with her, she’d just shrug and be like “Okay, I can quit.”
Like the manager treated her like a human being because she knew she had to because otherwise she’d lose one of her best workers.
Yes, everyone should be just handed the money to live.
I worked with a lady who’s husband made more than enough to support them both. She just did the retail to have something to do with herself part-time.
There’s a lot of people who’d happily do the same sort of thing. Honestly? A lot of the jobs we consider “shitty” jobs? Are shitty because the employees are treated like garbage.
If employees weren’t being screwed over by people higher up the chain constantly or being forced to kiss the asses of customers currently shitting all over them, those jobs would by and large be a whole lot more bearable, and appealing to more people!!
you can’t jokingly post about kinky shit on tumblr because you say smth like “haha wouldn’t it be hot if you…tried to launch internet explorer…but it wouldn’t load :D”
and then you’ll get one thousand robot girls in the notes going “mmngngnnghhhngn”
