I am. I intend to write an actual explanation at some point, but the bare-bones version is:
1. The previously-mentioned family issues are not yet actually resolved, but I'm a lot less involved now, so that's better. At least for me.
2. I've had a scale outbreak in the basement. This has been depressing, anxiety-inducing, frustrating, and time-consuming, and made plants completely unenjoyable for me for a while, no exaggeration at all. It might be getting a little better, in that I'm not having to throw out or neem as many plants these days as I was a couple weeks ago, but it's still pretty dispiriting.
3. I've joined the SCP Foundation and started trying to write stuff there, which is taking all the time I used to spend writing PATSP.

Please note: I am a person, not a houseplant-care-advice vending machine. If you've asked a plant-care question and I responded, that took time and effort that I could have spent on something else, and it's nice if you acknowledge that with a "thank you."
Also: no, I will not help you draw attention to your Kickstarter. No, I do not need the services of a blog-ads optimizer. No, I'm not interested in promoting/reviewing/giving away your products. Fuck, no, I will not write for free for your blog. I know these things are important to you, and you feel that your case is so special that I would obviously make an exception to the rule if you asked me because of how special your thing is, but I assure you: it is not special, and I will not make an exception. (This means you, Mother Earth Living.)

Mr_Subjunctive used to work at a family-owned greenhouse / garden center in Iowa City, IA. As of 16 December 2021, he has 1234 houseplants, which is too damn many. Most are Schlumbergeras.
