May I request a "How NOT to build a green wall" video? We all learn so much from mistakes; perhaps more than watching how to do it correctly. It's OK if you haven't figured everything out yet. I'm still very curious about what your process has been and what you have found so far that didn't work. I'd LOVE to watch that and have that info. Thank you for your dedication to our global plant community 💕

[@urbanharvestdfw]

ooh I like that 💡

[@gwennowee4209]

I also have a greenwall, and it is not working.. rootrot, lighting issues, etc etc. This would be super helpful!

[@Budgetinpurple]

Having a house tour of an empty house and then a filled one is so satisfying though, I love watching people fill spaces to their tastes Also plant POV YES PLEASE!!

[@chronicmonkey]

I came to make a similar comment. A before and after round be pretty groovy imho.

[@angelar468]

That’s actually a cool idea, a before and after haha

[@marikarevonkorpiviklund271]

Opened comments to say this, so yes - BOTH! 😊

[@misschevius]

Yup. Do an empty house tour so we can see updated after tours.

[@stephenw.6588]

“People using knowledge as a dick swing.” Brilliant. So agree. Play with plants - kill a few - have some surprise successes - but mostly… have fun!! Thank you!!!

[@milajude_Environmentalist]

thanks , describes me on how I just enjoy my plants . kill some and learn how to keep them alive in the process

[@jesswatson3591]

Would love to see an empty house tour and the process of filling it as and when you do it!

[@lyricalheartyvol]

This! ^

[@elainajean7626]

Yessss

[@Jumping4Fun54]

Agreed

[@sarahanderson344]

Absolutely

[@crzyplantppls]

Man, in regards to the plant community, the last few years have been rough to watch. Especially here in the US? I'm a shop owner here, and the amount of 'turn and burn' I see BIG name companies here doing is insane. (And if you import, you learn to recognize the signs of a freshly imported plant.) Some of the most popular in the US, some of which are also wholesalers. Like unpack a box of plants and list them for sale the same day type of stuff. And as a businesswoman that takes time to acclimate and such, it's so frustrating to see happen. Despite some of these plants coming commercially available, it's still more cost effective for me to import and acclimate myself. Versus buying potentially flipped imports at a markup from said companies. Tissue culture (by this I mean still in their flask/bag, haven't been hardened off, and are SUPER likely to die once they're shipped again.) flipping is also starting become a thing here. The amount of absolute ELISTISM has become nausea inducing as well. People touting superiority because of the plants they own, and actively making a point to shame others for not being able to afford and/or willing to pay the prices. It's so gross that I've become disengaged with a lot of it, and just put my head down and work. I have also noticed a lot of the 'knowledge flex' you spoke about. Lots of people are so quick to jump in an bash/mansplain/try to convince people their way is 'right' when ultimately it boils down to the individual and their environment. Phew, rant over 😂

[@redraven7948]

Empty house tour with OR without it being put together (with your furniture,plants,personal do-dads) is a YES from me. If your comfortable with it & want to show us. And plant chores pov is also a YES. 💜

[@bettylougreen6987]

I love your attitude. Enjoy plants. You don’t need to know everything to enjoy something. Exactly, you speak your mind and I really appreciate that. Stay you. 🐴

[@Karasaywah]

Plant chores POV sounds great! I'm here for it

[@lizbug27]

I like having your ramblings on in the background while I do house chores so I would 100% love rambling with plant chores.

[@alexclark64]

You might not have qualifications but you have come such a long way from cutting roots off to fit in a plant pot 🤣🙊 I've done some botany in my degree and it did not teach me much for caring for the plants at all. The best way to learn is to surround yourself without a doubt. Upset with how quiet the community has gone but I have a few close planty friends who i regularly swop and catch up with and it's just the best thing 🥰. I havent heard anything about the TEA groups in years 🤷

[@GrowingBarefoot]

First of all I would love all the videos you suggested. When I was in the orchid community it was pretty rough. The older generation was very uptight. They have off the vibe of “ how dare you ask questions, it’s so common sense.” As for tropical plants I’ve seen the rudeness pick up. Although I feel like that happens in any group over time. At the end of the day when people are involved people will be people of you know what I mean.

[@daniellemeier9789]

I have 2 tiny baby jewel orchids as my only and first orchids. Didn't really know what I was getting into but they're growing nicely and I've learnt a ton! Met my first orchid person really ever the other day and my God she tried to beat me down immediately. Saying I must be a newbie, had no idea what I was talking about and that she only deals with "real" orchids. Then said I had more money than sense to buy the "fashionable" plants with no knowledge. I literally got them for 5 bucks each because they were so tiny. And I hadn't asked for help was just asking if she sold whole plants as I was keen to get a purple moth orchid someday. Was really gutted but got home to a new leaf forming in my baby jewel so 🖕 her 😂😂

[@PeckmasterK]

I am so invested in your horse lol - it seems like you are making great choices and doing all you can. I’d love to see more swimming videos - that is the coolest. I’ve been dreaming about doing an addition with an indoor pool because water aerobics are such a benefit for those of us with certain health issues, but I also want one for my dog who has had two knee replacements and can’t do high impact exercise despite being fairly high energy.

[@chelseaosborne1579]

I think a before/after house tour would be cool! Like bare room vs all set up with furniture/plants and the like.

[@johannasaward2702]

POV yes please! would love to see around the shop through a go pro. Give a feel of what it’s like to spend a day working with plants!! ❤

[@yikes7963]

Kaylee Ellen, Jenna brought me to your channel. You kept me through the pandemic and I love your videos! Thanks for your humor and positive vibes!!!

[@cherievallee646]

Love how honest you are. Even better, I love you calling people out about their bullshit! 😊

[@bonnieharris8855]

I love your video ideas. I also cannot understand anyone who isn't interested in your horse story. Even if they don't care about horses, the story is about so much more than that. You are wonderful and a very interesting person. Carry on!

[@orchids4256]

The Go-Pro chore time sounds fun, and I think the DM idea sounds like it could be really funny. Do it! Forgot to say that, if your comfortable sharing, I'd totally watch an empty house tour. Sometimes the architecture of an empty space is fun.

[@robinbli3221]

I wouldn't mind waiting until you decorated your house for a tour, but definitely film it to do a before and after

[@RareRootsOfJoyMelbourne]

I don’t get too much into the plant community but those few who I do follow, they aren’t dicks. So most of the sh*t is invisible to me. I’d love to see a POV video of you tending to your stock. I think that would be fun! And as you’ve said, we need more people promoting fun/enjoyment with plants. Great idea 💡 ❤

[@lexiewright4820]

This is so interesting! As someone with a similar degree, I think it's really unfortunate to see talented people moving out of the industry because of unequal pay and unhealthy workplaces. It's already difficult being a woman in the industry and companies like this just make it worse

[@jessicaturner9685]

Plant tour POV would be cool. Empty house and garden tour, an unpack with me, a build furniture with me, anything! I’m just so happy for you. I want to experience your joy and accomplishments with you ❤

[@bethanynapier9407]

Love the idea of POV plant chores!!!

[@shawnsaquaticlife9714]

Thanks for the honesty..It's refreshing..so tired of plant keepers acting like its all peachy all the time

[@ronjakh]

Don’t hate on your teeth! They look great and your smile suits you ☺️ I get it though, I had braces for almost three years as a teenager and got picked on for my teeth before getting them. And then I got picked on for having braces 🙄🤷‍♀️

[@indreams8318]

I love the go pro idea!

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

I think im gonna do a test run of it soon!

[@urbanharvestdfw]

I know sounds amazing right

[@urbanharvestdfw]

​@@KayleeEllenOfficial I can't to see it. do you mind if I borrow that it really sounds intriguing. I kinda sorta did something Ike this last week when I set the camera in the dirt and I started looking for produce. came out pretty good

[@amygallagher3780]

COVID-era-only plant girl, here......I don't miss the inflated prices on plants, early COVID, but I miss the excitement. My local plant pages have gone CRICKETS, for the most part and I miss geeking out, with people and seeing beautiful, new plants I need to bring home. I wish I knew what it looked like before. I hope something cool sprouts up, in the post COVID, of the community. I miss when I started watching your channel and I had backlogs of material, where I could plant chore and watch your content all day 😂

[@jsaysyay]

beyond thrilled in the gopro idea tbh. you've been through like SO much, you deserve to just thrive. honestly i was never super involved in any plant communities online, largely couldn't be bothered, like watching youtube and following a few ppl on instagram is more than enough for me. i have such a gripe with that whole "you need a certification" thing, not even from just plants, there are other places online where it was quite bad at times. like, i literally have had 0 education in plants, entirely self taught just for fun, and while i can identify nearly every native plant to my area, and identify most plants i see regardless, i'd never dare say any of that near a plant community because i just know someone would try to argue with me lol

[@PeckmasterK]

Empty house sounds fun, but I’d really love to see you going to antique shops to find pieces or something like that. Also anything you DIY for the space or plants

[@butterflymuse2707]

You know what, my husband just left his own programming job at a gaming company here in the US due to company politics and back stabbing (they literally made shit up and lied to HR about him and told him to his face that they lied to HR). I am also a programmer and I just started a new job in June for the same same thing. I wish folks would grow up and get over the high school bully clique bullshit. We're grown not 16. It's the worst. Edit: re: WoW I used to play all the time but after the lawsuit came out and blizzard and the sexism and a girl unaliving herself over it....I will never touch another blizz game. Re: the Harry Potter thing, I imagine it's probably because JK Rowling is a raging TERF and people don't want to give her money

[@caitolent]

I quit WoW for the same reasons. As women in IT, we have to stand up for each other... whether you're a programmer, a developer, a network admin, or help desk. It's rough out there. I learned that I was making $10k less annually than my male coworker... who was less educated... and who had been there for less time... and therefore was doing less work.... I'm glad you and your husband can understand and support each other. It's rare for couples to have the same career, it's a unique insight you both have into each other's work lives!

[@KarynLTapleyMDMBA]

I’m a GenX doctor. WoW got me through residency, fellowship, and an MBA (I just did solo pet collecting/questing for the most part. Our guild used to hardcore raid in LK, but went casual as more people dropped off due to RL). You helped create a well-rounded American physician. 😘

[@PozdrawiamMame]

Empty house tour seems awesome! especially later when you compare it with "done" house

[@od.vandeveer]

Every day scientists discover more about how nature works so even with a qualification there is loads more to learn. And by experimenting and trying you learn a lot. I went to university but learned most of what I know later on. You have loads of experience and share it, successes and failures and new insights ( things you thought were greatgrowers and turned out not so good and vice versa ) and that counts for way more than a piece of paper. And go-pro, yes unless I get seasick if it moves to much ;)

[@ApolloCosplay]

First off - I would love the idea of a GoPro video especially if I could see around the studio. Second vis-a-vis Harry Potter there are two main issues that I am seeing come up. The first being with the game itself and its storyline basis as putting down the goblin rebellion, when there has been issues in the past with the goblins being seen as Jewish characters. Especially as the goblins are a subservient race in Harry Potter to wizards. I’m not entirely educated on this but I know that that’s the basic rundown. Also the biggest issue is Jk’s stance on trans people and the misinformation she publishes about them. I myself am a trans person and as such can no longer interact with Harry Potter content as it hurts too much, even though I loved it dearly as a child. But I also don’t like the stance that some trans people have including my friends stating that everyone must avoid Harry Potter at all costs. it was still an incredibly important cultural event for many people and even many trans-friends that I have still love Harry Potter but they remove J. K. Rowling from the narrative. This might not help at all but that’s just my little info dump from my perspective. I’ve always loved this channel and I’m supporting you 100% all the best. Xxx

[@Giaphaige]

Not only the transphobia anymore, she's doing events and taking pics with neo nazis now 😵‍💫 Not saying she is one, but no one hangs out with that crowd unless you agree on some things... I used to be obsessed with Harry Potter, just makes me sad now.

[@kennydietze1669]

I think an empty house tour would be super fun, assuming you’re comfortable with it! Especially for you to look back on once everything is decorated to your liking, you can see how far you’ve come!

[@vicky3792]

Glad for the mini horse update. My curiosity is out of control even though it’s none of my business. Love ya

[@mistysstudio87]

Loving the Horse updates… but I’d say I can wait for a full update. I’m so sad that you have to deal with that. I feel like you’re u are the age of my sons so I feel a bit protective about you. I’m on Team Kaylee!!🙏🏻🥰

[@fitmom68]

Yes. GoPro and follow you through chores. And my opinion for the home video would be wait til you get it set up with plants. But that's just me. Love your videos.

[@chasing.serenity]

I love the idea of a video about plant chores and chit-chat!! So sorry to hear about your old company but glad everything ended up well!

[@joannanovara815]

I think it's different for someone like you as a KZbinr and shop owner as it's your profession. Your opinion, experiences and knowledge are taken more seriously since you are an influencer. That said, I've been following you a while and value your information and how you present it. You don't say "this is how you have to do it" just how you have experienced it and you're passing that on to us as viewers.

[@MadMooCow88]

I'm glad you haven't lost your love of horses. I'd been concerned with everything going on that you'd have been soured to them, I'm so glad that's not the case. I've been wanting to get back into horses myself (after many years away) but still can't afford it, so I'm invested in your journey! An empty vs filled house tour would be interesting. Spaces change when we start adding our own stuff to them. Also, plant chores would be interesting too. Keep doing you, Kaylee.

[@KJonair]

Literally yes to all those video ideas. They’re very creative and unlike anything I’ve really seen before on plant KZbin! Xoxo

[@beccasaurus90]

I’m a frontend developer and I can relate with some of the things you said about your old job with previous companies I worked for, it can suck. Individually most of the people are cool, as people to work with not so much. I was once able to save a baby alocasia azlanii that was rotting, tiny tiny corm. Cut off the rot as much as I could and ended up with half of the corm (it was smaller than my pinky fingernail) dunked it into hydrogen proxyde and then just kep it in pon, watering it carefully. Luckily it started growing back. It’s still small, but it has 3 leaves. I think one of the reasons was that it wasn’t rotting from the roots, but from what looked like a cut on one leaf that I only noticed once it started rotting.

[@CrossCultural-c7f]

I have gravitated back to gardening. I collected natural science specimens. Since I didn’t go out in the wild actively collecting , I got tired of the consumerism, the consumer mindset. I have discovered that I lean toward being a producer/maker and not a consumer. Working with plants has components of being a producer and also of being a nurturer. *That is more satisfying.

[@replaydude1]

thanks for the Tea Kaylee! love your honesty! love the house tour, and the GoPro idea! I wait every Fridays on your video's and never reply but keep it up! you did grow as a person so much just like your plants!

[@FrediOlson]

Really enjoyed your video today. Yes, would love to see empty house tour, and I like your idea of puttering around with a camera!

[@Brittany_B]

I think what I love about you is what some people hate, lol. I think many of us, or at least I, would like to see a "soft" tour of your house and then see progressive tours as you update it...make it real like you are! The "gopro" video sounds fun and I agree with a "what not to do" growing wall video...or whatever info you have...good or bad.

[@khaisangtangprasert]

I totally agreed with you about the plant community has changed so much, not as friendly as it used to be.. lots of not nice attitudes and pretentious around.

[@Sarah-iz2nt]

A Home Tour for real world lighting world be great! If course your plant styling would be the bonus

[@LCurtyyy]

YASSSSSS to the POV plant chores video & Empty House Tour!💚💚💚

[@ashleygalsky1]

My heart did a little flutter when you mentioned go pro idea. I’m OBSESSED. Please do!!!

[@deej4910]

I am an HVAC technician and I would love to see the heating and humidifiers you use in your shop so the GoPro idea sounds great to me.

[@DaveWoolmer]

The whole situation around leaving your old job definitely resonates with me. I left working as a practicing Solicitor for the top rated firm in my area of practice, to pursue my passion for horticulture and felt much the same about having the qualifications and previous career I could always fall back on but opportunities were opening up. It's damn tough at times but I genuinely love every bit of it (apart from the admin 🤣) and haven't looked back. And I definitely count you as an inspiration for me making the leap, plus having great support really helps, exactly as you said.

[@fioregiallo]

A request if you do the GoPro video-- could you try not to move super fast?? I get motion sickness really easily even on my phone but I would LOVE to see that!!!

[@ekamarie6632]

Plant chores pov! Yes please! I have soo much plant stuff to do and that’s actually why I’m here trying give myself the motivation to get up and actually do it. Lol

[@fotty96]

When I was a kid I got thrown off a horse, and it took me a long long time to get over the intense anxiety from just being around them after that. I'm so sorry your first horse ownership experience sucked and I really hope you're able to click with a new horse and have that fear go away. Horses have been such good therapy to me over the years, so here's hoping you have that soon!

[@EMuro-wu7uy]

I love your videos. I've had alot of crazy troubles. Love your life updates. I look forward to all of your news. Congratulations on the house. I hope all works on your house. I would love to see you react to your 2018 declutter plant videos, and reaction to wishlist. Which you've had, how some of your plants are doing. I also feel like I've learned alot about plants from you.

[@caileyanneumrysh1680]

Contrapoints does a fantastic review of JK Rowling and the controversy behind her.

[@StarPanda7]

Thank you for the Invisalign update. My k9s won't move either. I should be done in January as well. Maybe need more refinements. Eek. Also as a woman in IT field we do get paid way less. It's crazy.

[@kristinafohringer656]

I’d love to see the plant chores POV!

[@sihakrios6764]

definitely Kaylee, let's go GO Pro. That will be alot fun. And also a empty house tour is cool. Enjoying the process together with you, and beeing happy for it. I think that's amazing. I mean , as a long term Follower, I just love to follow your journey. Stay strong save 🙂💪

[@khonlynxx]

Love that you played WOW! I played until Mists of Pandaria too. Remember the many 'd*ck swinging' of spoiled 'kids' in raiding too with their latest gears/mounts, etc? Sorry to hear about the life challenges. I think we sometimes buckle at some point when it overwhelms, but I promise you'll look back one day and see these times as a period where you grew more to be a better you. Adulting sucks. Truly. And pulling it back to plants... gosh, I can't agree more. These days I'm just grateful I have learned and gained some tacit/instinctive knowledge of what works, and what doesn't- and there's always something new to discover. It's definitely brought me closer to my mum who has a natural green fingers. There's just something indescribable and joyful when I find a gem of a plant that would bring a smile to her face. Keep striving! ❤

[@viktoriabackeus7610]

Empty house tour would be a fun thing for you too probably, like a "before" and when it's more finished another tour and so on.

[@kayetaylor5551]

I can't wait to find out about Bobby....I did think he would be losing weight swimming and I knew he would be safe.can I say that I knew you were a good kind girl when you gave Bobby his name back....anyway...hello👋I'm working my way thro all your videos....❤️

[@karikristinehaugberg3890]

I would personally love both types of house tour videos - one now that just shows a bare-ish house full of opportunities, and one with your own style and plants showing ❤️👌

[@storey662]

I love the plant chores POV idea!

[@Xxurdowg1]

Id love to see a timlapse of your running around the shop... could be entertaining lol love the POV idea

[@thatplantguy93]

YES to the empty house and POV videos! It would be really neat seeing what your daily routine is and seeing before/during/after videos of the house what be awesome!

[@KIPUKA77]

I like the walk around the shop video. Maybe even a live feed Q&A? That's asking a lot. Would love to see the shop and its operations. A wall take down video would be cool too, I imagine many of the wall plants will be growing one sided and would like to see how you would repot/rescue them.

[@amberkendle656]

Love the POV idea! Before and after house tour? Maybe show how it is now and what your vision is. After you move in you can show how it turned out and talk about what you had to adapt to make it work.

[@tynatheunicorn]

hi, the plant wall whatever sounds great, I would love to do one for a school project and would actually love to know how you did yours and what works and what does not. Also POV plant with me sounds super great! About your house... I wished you'd wait as it feels like you're not fully happy with your new home and I'd love for you to settle in first and have some time for yourself there :-) anyways, wish you great week

[@coffee2962]

Yasss The Queen is Back👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ❤❤ Glad you spoke out about the community It’s like the plants are great but it’s just the humans keeping them that are just a bit nah sometimes I guess it’s the people that are the problem most of the time With any community whether you keep plants dogs cats…

[@matthiasknaak8527]

Take care there Kaylee and get your skin , body and soul needs fulfilled. First and foremost your body and mind should be in the right place where you want them to be. When You are feeling good , you can Tackle everything . Take care there you lovely British Plant Lady . Greetz from the Black Forest/ Germany 🐣

[@EMuro-wu7uy]

I found out the golden goddess philodendron is a reverted Thai sunrise, it turns all bright yellow. I got one, that has four in the pot, one has the darker green the Thai sunrise. Weird fact I found out purely by accident.

[@notsoamericangirl2568]

I love the go-pro idea, though I also know I'd get nauseous after like 5 minutes, lol Also, as an architecture student, I would love to see the new house in any stage, though only if you're comfortable sharing it!

[@alexandraponych8410]

Love the idea of a plant chores POV! Just moved interstate and had to get rid of all my plants and I miss doing plant chores!

[@meghannichols529]

Plant chores POV...YES!

[@ekamarie6632]

I would still love a green wall video. In fact I learn more from “mistakes” so if you did a “what not to do green wall” everyone always does the pros/perfect side of things but rarely do they mention the cons or problems they’ve run into and the ladder I find more helpful. Js🤷‍♀️

[@melissawest4285]

Personally, I care more about seeing what type and layout of house you chose to go with than the way it sounds when empty. I think a before and after video is brilliant 👏. Plus, I know your 🏠 is going to be condusiveive for house plants. I've already told my husband that when we move, our new home has to have big south facing windows 🪟 🙃.

[@tracysullivan7913]

Hi Kaylee an empty house video would be great to see the space as it is and a follow up with furniture in it would be great, good on you for going with your gut and taking the leap and being your own boss, as for not having a back ground in plants who cares like not everyone is a sex therapist but we all know how to do it and crack an orgasim, need I say more. ! Thanks for sharing with us enjoyable video as always.

[@louise2209]

Just wandered into your channel, not in the plant community, usually wandering through the garden community as I kill far less plants outside than in! Enjoyed your video immensely x

[@kimberlyskinner8177]

Empty house tour, with voice over would be awesome....a before and after 😁. Yes please to GoPro POV.😁. So thrilled that Bobby seems to be progressing 🥰😍🤩💓

[@thea7854]

Can't wait for the harry Potter game either! it looks amazing. The boycott thing was in regard to JK Rowling and her views on trans people etc, people want us to boycott the game because she gets money from it and uses that money to donate to some places that work against trans rights (I think?) I don't remember exactly but essentially it has to do with her problematic views and nothing about the game itself.

[@LaurenMorley]

In regards to your question about the new Hogwarts Legacy game: From what I understand, the game's plot revolves around quelling one of the Goblin Rebellions in the 1890s, and the HP franchise has historically engaged in antisemitic tropes with regards to depiction/characterisation of goblins...yeah, it's not a good look, imo & feels very uncomfortable to me.

[@po.po.poquito]

POV is great, I actually repot (do plant chores) while you repot with me. So bring it on!

[@coriroo9323]

YES! I've noticed this as well! I'm more active on reddit and I have seen this same kind of shift. I personally enjoy learning, so I've been looking into botany because it's cool. But especially beginners can get some rude answers to questions and ots yucky. Be pleasant, get pleasant.

[@rebeccalawrence9722]

I'm a dentist and your smile is lovely and shows just the right amount of gum! As we age our lips appear longer and cover more of our teeth, so showing little or none of your gums while smiling is associated with old age. You have the perfect amount for your age! :) Good luck with your Invisalign refinements!

the issue revolving around the harry potter game is because it's harry potter. the franchise at the minute has been in hot water because jk rowling unfortunately revealed herself as a TERF not too long ago (trans exclusionary radical feminist if you weren't aware!) and has some really shitty opinions on trans people :( It's left a really sour taste in lgbtqia people's mouths, so many people don't want to support harry potter since she gets revenue from sales from it. Some people choose to still support harry potter fan creations only, some people have dropped it entirely, and some people are trying to enjoy it regardless since it's special to so many. lots of broken hearts since so many people looked up to her growing up, and the wizarding world is so important to many.

Now the plant question: Is it on the table for you to make a video about technical stuff, I'm mean PPFD for different plant varieties, spectrums, nutrition (NPK and other stuff), some interesting experiments, etc.

[@lukeblossom4870]

YES that GoPro vlog-style video would be great!

Fingers crossed for you and Bobby! I agree on the community but; it's across the board generally... Social media has made us more tribal and divisive, which lends to the toxicity. This age of tech has made us seek like minded people, however you will never agree with people 100%. I'm recently back into plants for about about the past year. Last time, which was 15 years ago(yikes), people could agree to disagree. I feel like there's this urge for uniformity of opinion. It truly has become tribalistic, so nowadays I don't post other than my flowering orchids or whatever is positive. Not worth forcing people's opinion into a homogenized blob, so I just try to be the change I wish to see in the world instead.

Yes plant chores POV please! :D

I think that the whole frenzy in 2020 turned it from a more wholesome hobby to more of a cash grab, and now people are salty that the cash has gone to be honest.

So.... about Harry Potter. I don't play video games, so I don't know about the game boycott per se but the whole discourse around JK Rowling right now is focused on her transfobia. She made multiple public statements against trans rights. There is a lot of info online about the whole issue, you can check videos from Lindsay Ellis or ContraPoints if you would like to know more.

[@AprendizdeLeitor]

JK Rowling isn’t transphobic.

[@Rayxster]

@@AprendizdeLeitor yes she is, she's a massive terf.

[@horace6851]

@@AprendizdeLeitor that is up to debate which I'm not feeling like going into now. I was only clarifying why there are controversies around J K Rowling at this time.

[@emilianoglz9704]

You are totally fascinating to watch. Love, love your attitude, personality and perspective. An empty house, a house in progress and the a complete house (is a house ever done? Ha) would be fun to watch.

Back to basics speaks to me. Struggling through PTSD. 1 year anniversary of the event is this NYE and I feel it approaching like an actual physical presence. And yea the cost of everything in Australia is insane too. So yeah, just focusing on basic survival, and struggling with even that.

[@kimwilcox3779]

Yes!!! POV plant chores. I love that idea.

[@johnvardy2707]
