    i call this the weed paradox.

    even though weeds grow unassisted. it is impossible for everyone to grow weeds in their garden. for is they try, they are no longer weeds

    The idea of “weeds” is a colonialist construct.

    Weeds is just the gardening term for “their kind”.

    Weeds are just highly successful flowers that have earned resentment from others.

    In Thailand, if you can eat it, it’s not a weed.

    It’s a bit clearer in french; “weed” is “mauvaise herbe” which literally translates to “bad herb/grass”.
