I feel like this is also why playing video games like Pokemon taught me to be a fast reader. I was impatient so I set the text speed to high and just went with it. It freaking works.
I AM SOBBING OMG
*unfocuses my eyes just enough that all the words glitch directly into my brain*
i found out that twin baby boys were separated and adopted out. When reunited years later, they found out they were both named James, had married a woman named Linda, divorced and married Betty and both had a son named James Allen.
They took part in a studyconducted by Dr. Thomas Bouchard of the University of Minnesota, who found that their medical histories and brain-wave tests were almost identical. So too were their results in a personality test. (x)
Me and @beautifultrees07 are plotting to do a secret guerilla pumpkin patch in a neglected waste patch by a local freeway. It’s gonna look cute!
Update! We cleared this area of invasive (and abrasive!) weeds, hoed the rocky and barren soils, amended the earth (with a layer of straw for drainage and to hold moisture/encourage mycelium), created 18 pumpkin mounds of different varieties (Atlantic Giant, Jarrahdale, Lumina, Cinderella, Jack O’ Lantern, Musquee de Provence, and Red Warty Thing) in 96 degree weather so like, don’t even question our love for pumpkins and soil restoration! We added flowers for beautification and to attract pollinators. We moved discarded mattresses, furniture pieces, and removed bags of trash, glass, and dog poop. The pumpkin vines will reach maturity in October and we’re looking forward to the growth!
Update! Remember her??? Be careful who you call ugly!! Our guerilla garden/secret pumpkin patch is really shaping up! Pumpkin vines are growing strong and healthy, cucumber plants are producing, and corn stalks are growing taller! This lot used to be filled with dog poop, mattresses, and discarded furniture! Hopefully we’ll have pumpkins soon. Me and my two sisters laid all the groundwork for this garden and it’s being maintained mostly by one of my sisters and other volunteers. We love to restore the soil, revive barren land, and coax pumpkins from the earth just in time for Hallow’s Eve ~
Another update from August 5:
Foliage is thick and lush and baby pumpkins are forming! We’re excited for the turn of the season and to have a little pumpkin patch ready for Halloween
An update from today, August 7th! (btw you can follow the instagram page for this group garden @threesisters_garden). We have a lot of different pumpkin varieties! This one below is Atlantic Giant:
This next one is Red Warty Thing (yknow the one that’s red with warts)
And the one below is Jarrahdale (will be a silvery green pumpkin)
Update from August 16! Pumpkins are growing bigger and stronger by the day!
Look at the Red Warty Thing variety below! She is growing warts and we couldn’t be more proud!

Another update from today, August 23: the Red Warty Thing pumpkin has grown more warts!
Update to the thread: we harvested everything and they’re beautiful! Stunning!
Some pumpkins were stolen before they reached their full potential but these are the ones we managed to harvest! There are 5 different varieties in this line-up (from left to right, Jarrahdale, Jack O Lantern, Cinderella, Red Warty Thing, and Lumina). It’s wild to see how this little neglected strip of earth by the side of the freeway could produce such beautiful pumpkins with a few soil amendments and TLC
The pessimist in me is SHOCKED this wasn’t either vandalized or uprooted by local government employees. GLAD IT WAS SUCCESSFUL.
