A few good things

sabotabby1. If you need a laugh, and share my sick sense of humour, check out Stop My Abortion! The story is roughly: Woman gets pregnant, woman can't afford a child (especially after she gets fired from her job for being pregnant), woman asks the holier-than-thou pro-life movement to put its money where its mouth is. If pro-lifers donate $40,000, she won't get an abortion. So far, she hasn't raised anywhere near that, but that hasn't stopped her from posting some utterly hilarious entries.
The set-up is clearly a joke, but you wouldn't know from the flood of angry comments and e-mail (along with the occasional donation). This may challenge Kerblog and Cats That Look Like Hitler for the shortest amount of time between me discovering a blog and me blogrolling it.
2. Speaking of the recently blogrolled, Twisty has an excellent post about the breast cancer industry. Why did I take so long to blogroll I Blame the Patriarchy? You know what to blame.
3. Some of you may be wondering how the garden's doing. For those who care, I have posted some food porn.
It wasn't too long ago that the peppers looked like this:
(Okay, that was where we later planted the peppers.)
The tomatoes looked like this:
And the eggplant looked like this:
As for the rest of the garden, the celery lives, the sweet peppers rebounded, the larger eggplants are still alive, the pumpkins seem to have survived their bout with the cucumber beetles and are now attacking the sweet peppers, and the leeks are leeking. All the herbs are also doing well. The cucumbers completely died, and the lettuce went to seed so we composted it.
This must be totally fascinating to anyone who hasn't come over for dinner lately. But I like to keep track of this stuff.
