Grow Like Wild! Rebut
It was great to see Rebecca McMackin take on the “native plant gardening is a mean cult that offends me personally and *actually* isn’t even THAT great” opinion section industrial complex in her most recent Grow Like Wild! newsletter. What do y’all think of her arguments? To me: it’s compelling, respectful, and shows with data how hollow this bizarre trend we’re seeing is.
Philanthropy Office
Hello! As a Two Point Museum obsessive & actual museum employee I’ve had a burning idea for a Philanthropy Office for a while now.
In real museums, employees in Philanthropy manage things like annual giving campaigns, major donors, membership, estate gifts etc. In the game, I imagine it having one purpose: seeking funders to create “endowed positions.” What do I mean by this?
After an expensive & advanced (I view this as late game) campaign (like the Marketing office) a Philanthropy Office employee will receive funding to cover the cost of a new Expert. That Expert will have maximum happiness with their salary & cost nothing (because of the endowed position!)
What do y’all think? I think it’s in the spirit of zero cost staff already in the game & a fun way to keep building out Expert staff late game.
My 10yo Son’s Handiwork at Church on Sunday
Got a text from my BIL who’s a pastor there…
I need to make you aware of a game of Clue we had to play at the office today.
*After a few laughs, wagers on which kid, and then some camera checking, we learned [*son’s name] did it, in the hallway, with the "nameless" sticker.
Our kids directors kindly ask [son’s] stickers make it to the trash can next week.
[Lead pastor] suggests, you announce tonight that the church is getting a "sex room" and see what he says.🤣
He’d gone out of Sunday school to go to the bathroom and tore off parts of his name tag to crest this work of art.
He got this humor fair and square from me and my wife. I told him it was legitimately funny, but still made him call and apologize.
I’m way more proud of him than upset by any of it.
Gentlemen, after joining the sub about 8 months ago, I earned my proper title of “Dad” this week!
She is my absolute whole world already ❤️
