The groundhog sawed everyone but the Final Girl and predicted five more sequels, one of them in space.

O!, I'm sorry, that's for #GroundhogChainsawedAndHappened…never mind.

Plump Kings.

1. All Plump King’s Eve

May entered the kitchen with a basket full of zucchini #buds and flowers. Right behind her, Aleah arrived, carrying a big, round orange pumpkin.

“What are you going to do with these?” May asked, setting her basket down next to the carrots Rae was peeling.

“I’ll dip these in batter and fry them until they’re crispy and golden brown,” Rae said, holding up a blossom. “It’s called tempura.”

“And this,” Aleah said, setting the pumpkin down on the table.

“I’ll turn this one into a pie.”

“Pie?” the two girls asked. “From a squash?”

“Indeed. I exchanged the recipe with Frater for the spices. It’s a yummy pie. You just wait.”

She continued, “I’ll need another small pumpkin to turn into tempura and a big one to make into a jack-o’-lantern.”

“What’s a jack-o’-lantern?” a new voice asked. The faint scent of the lotion Rae had made Claire preceded it: regal geranium with a hint of #creeping thyme.

The two girls rushed to the door, each hugging one of Claire’s legs. “We were gathering veggies for Mother Rae,” the girls squealed.

One girl went on, “See all the orange flowers I picked?” While the other said, “I brought in a huge Plump King.”

“They’re lovely flowers and a huge pumpkin,” Claire said, emphasizing the last word. “I ask again, what is a jack-o’-lantern?” Suspicion edged her voice.

“You take a Plump King and carve a face into it. Something scary. Then at night, you put a lit candle inside to scare away ghosts. It’s like throwing beans at oni.”

“And the ogre’s run away,” the May shouted.

Claire rolled her eyes.

“Does that work?” Aleah asked.

“No, it doesn’t work,” Claire said, glaring at Rae. “And they’re called pumpkins, not Plump Kings.”

“I like the name Plump Kings,” Rae said. “On special nights, magic like that works. So we’re going to put out jack-o’-lanterns to scare away the ghosts, ghouls, and skeletons that walk about on All Plump King’s Eve. Who knows? A ghost might sneak in that night and scare my lovely Claire.”

“If a ghost sneaks into our bedroom, it’ll be sleeping in the Plump King patch. You hear me, Rae Taylor!”

When “Straight” Isn’t So Straight: Understanding Why Some Men Have Sex with Men

Not all men who sleep with men identify as gay or even bisexual—and that’s not a contradiction.

Black Philip, our monstera deliciosa, has started sprouting leaves after a long dormancy. So that was a nice respite from thinking about his intention to strangle us in our sleep.

What’s the hashtag? It’s not bloomscrolling.
