About this site

Sunshine and Seedlings is a newsletter, personal blog, and repository of writing by Andre Rosario, aka HydroponicTrash.

Originally, the blog started over on Substack, but has since moved to this self-hosted server. There were a lot of reasons to move over.

• A big one was inspired by the people who were interested in following me, but didn't want to support Substack, so they ended up not engaging with my work. And for good reason, check out https://leavesubstack.com/ for more information.
• My writing was hosted and controlled by a corporation, and could be taken down at any point. Now I can write about whatever I want, and no one can force me to take down my writing or ban my account.
• I wanted to create my own space, self-hosting much of the functionality and giving me more room to be creative.
