Well, "weed" can be a legal definition. A lot of governments have a noxious weed list that either provides for consequences if you suffer that plant on your property, or just an excuse for the government to come on to your property to kill the weeds for you. For instance, Russian Olive is legally a "kill on sight" invasive plant in my area.

At long last, and at grotesque costs, we finally have a machine that repeats anything a billionaire says. What a time to be alive.

The rich are ripping the copper out of the walls of society before it all comes crashing down. They burn out employees, throw them away and hire fresh ones. Who cares, they're not planning of any of this lasting much longer.

Are we doing over-under betting for the mass rehiring that is sure to follow?

Wrong. The single biggest thing most of us can do to reduce harm to the environment is not have kids. Each human, no matter how responsible, can't help but add to the problems. The mountain of diapers for each baby alone is obscene. Each baby you don't have is a whole ass person that will never add to food or electricity or water demands at all.

GOP: "look, can we just skip to the part where we have slaves again?"

Not a real quote, and I'm not a fan of the implied minimizing of modern social problems.

More accurate would be the Heritage Foundation holding the axe and SCOTUS cowering in the cuck chair in the corner

Ahhahahaha, no, just the opposite

Yep, that was a mistake, thanks for catching

Nobody strained any muscles thinking up that name

I'm picturing a guy sighing with his hands on his head, staring at most of a car with the front wheel stuck in the router. Like, he can figure this out, just give him a minute. Maybe he needs a walk to clear his head. The pieces are there.

 
 
 

This particular flower is native to my geographic area, although there wasn't any in my suburban city. So I got a big bag of conservation seed and dumped it everywhere, and it went nuts. Best "weed" ever.

It flowers for most of the season, but it's most magnificent right now. Hoverflies and other tiny pollinators love it. Honeybees do too, but they're a little big for them.

 

Two of my favorites. The rose smells heavenly

 

By "unconventional" I mean something other than classical visual or audio arts like painting, sculpture, music, etc.

I've never been a very "artistic" person. But when I took my first programming class, I worked on my code like it was a sculpture. I found beauty in making my code clean, efficient, easy to read, and user-friendly. It still seems weird and affectatious to say, and I wasn't really expecting that kind of experience from that class! It was one of the only times I ever felt "artistic."

But why not? Any medium can be artful.

What's your non-traditional art?
