With my dad's help, I cut and pulled down all the ivy off the side of my house. In the two years since we got here it had covered pretty much the whole side wall from the back of the house to the chimney stack half way to the front, and all the way from the ground up to the gutters two stories up. Lots of stuff to hack down. My dad thought it wasn't normal ivy, and having checked the web I think it might actually be boston ivy, which apparently is actually in the grape family and doesn't damage structures in the same way as true ivy because it sticks with adhesive rather than whatever the heck true ivy uses, so that's nice.

Just wondering… If I started a Signal/Telegram/somethingelse channel where I'd post stories I've written, would anyone be likely to actually follow it? It feels having an announcements channel is something that an actual "creator" would do rather than just some idiot trying to sate their tame-ass lame-ass kinks in prose and hoping to be Seen™† by another tame-ass lame-ass idiot, but… I dunno, could I be worth it?
