Wait. So you are telling me my pterodactyl collection is now irrelevant? After all these years? All the scrimping and saving, and breaking into museums for elusive pterodactyl-related items? I've been collecting the wrong items ENTIRELY?! I need to rethink my life...
it's ok that's actually called pterydomania, common mistake
Shit! I thought this was my shortcut to domain expansion! [JJK joke]
You might try the Anitques Roadshow.
Fad? The name makes it sound more like a psychological disorder lol
"You gotta help me, doc! I can't stop collecting and displaying ferns! It's ruining my life!"
"Ah yes. Classic case of pteridomania. Don't worry, sir, we have medicine that can help you now."
You have to stop it before it develops into a full orchid infection!
How else do you fernish an apartment‽
Gathering ferns was one of the activities women could engage without male supervision and so was an outlet for queer women of Victorian England.
Unfortunately I kilked 3 ferns trying to grow them indoors. The winter air is just too dry.
"death by milking"? Sounds heinous. 😱
Cyanotype much anyone?
