Last year I found a lifeless bird caught in the decorative fence meant to keep my dog from jumping off the terraced part of my yard. It was really sad, but I learned that leaving a strip of tall grass behind the fence prevented the birds from flying through it.

Last month a robin broke its neck on my front window, so I’ve decided the entire place must be cursed

I also enjoy erininthemorning, just note that her wife is part of Montana state legislature and she’s labeled left-biased

There’s a growing split in the state between the old-school Republicans and MAGA right now. There have been a few MAGA bills aimed at lgbtq+ and environment that failed because the few old schoolers were convinced that those bills were against the state constitution, and the values like privacy and freedom that the magats claim to hold dear.

It’s honestly been really interesting to watch over the last year or two.

I struggled with night terrors from PTSD for a long time. Developed a binge drinking habit to try and cope, because I didn’t want to sleep anymore and had to knock myself out.

Eventually I was able to get help. Two years with the right therapist (many more trying to find her) and I actually only get night terrors once a month or so now. That might sound like a lot, but weeks of refreshing sleep between episodes makes life so much easier to live. Things have taken a slight dive since the start of the year, but I know once politics and security are stable again I’ll be okay. Being able to rephrase my brain from “torturing” me to “coping any way it can” has helped, but I think the journey to dealing with nightmares is different for everyone

For some reason Lady and the Tramp reminded my mother of The King and I. So I had to watch both in the same week for the first time, and it was a very weird experience lol

Edit: I just looked them up and they were made four years apart! I assumed the Disney movie was made in the 80s because I saw it in the 90s lol

Oh, definitely. It would probably be irresponsible to not monitor his media unofficially. It’s the way he is acting like this is an official method of open communication to mediate between governments that’s ridiculous to me. Maybe I’ve forgotten how things were before Twitter shut his account down, but I’m still amazed he doesn’t have people who can get him to understand how bad this is

Pakistan hasn’t withdrawn the nomination yet. It was just the Ukrainian who seemed a bit misinformed who withdrew it

I’ve been patiently waiting for moths pondering orbs

It does feel like there’s a new wave of change, I have no idea if it’s due to new reddit refugees or general discontent. But yes, there does seem to be a lot more down voting, more quarrelsome comments, less cohesion within some communities.

There’s also been a few posts sprinkled across instances discussing some accounts that do nothing but down vote. No comments, no posts, just down votes

An example of this is George Santos, who is the only Republican to have been expelled

I lost a lot of cute erasers to the back of these desks

You’re right. Broken neck during delivery, caused by excessive force from the doctor.

Absolutely horrifying

Zone, soil type, and sun would help narrow things down.

Lemongrass did well for me, but that won’t survive most winters. Unless you’re okay with keeping things in pots and wintering indoors

To be fair, I am also a millennial, but most of my friends were surprised when I told them about that correction I received from the younger generation. I guess that says more about my friends than millennials overall lol

I haven’t worked in retail for over a decade, but that was the biggest fight I kept having with district managers/corporate. They kept telling me to hire more associates for one shift a week, when I already had keyholders and associates who were begging for more hours.

Shit, sometimes I “called out sick” just to give them more hours without letting anyone else know ahead of time. That lack of financial security is not good for morale or productivity, and I hate that the bosses refuse to acknowledge that

I’ve heard from Gen Z that ending a text response with a period is passive aggressive. So “cool” may have seemed glib on its own, but the punctuation might be giving an additional, if unintentional, tone

This is anecdotal, but 22 years ago I attended an event where the US Air Force proudly played a video of a Predator drone strike. I was a teenager who avidly gamed, and felt horror at what I was forced to witness because I knew these were real people who were dying agonizing deaths

To this day I still feel the same emotions when I think of it, and I can’t listen to Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” because that’s the song they played to accompany the footage
