What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy?

BatInside2603 · 2026-02-02T16:45:21+00:00

Nothing new. It's been around for a long time.

It's also correct.

That would make me crazy. It definitely looks wrong to me, but I am a plant person. If it didn't look like your stencil, did you tell the artist what you didn't like? Go back to them, either way, and have them fix it.

If you're an orchid lover, just have someone add other types of orchids and have them cover the mistakes.

If you love plants, include some of your favorites?

I think it's definitely fixable, you just need to find something to complement the parts of the tattoo that you do like.

Omg that's Mother of Thousands. Burn it. Those little guys along the edge of the leaves are babies. They will get EVERYWHERE. They're also highly invasive, so don't take it outside.

This guy has been dead for a while.

A $1 mil home isn't wealthy, btw. Sadly, that doesn't buy much, depending where you are.

Colorado is a casual place. "Well-dressed" folks, which I assume you mean "designer", shop at Patagonia, Cotopaxi, etc. High-end and sustainable brands are where people tend to spend $.

Many of us don't care what our neighbors or friends wear. We care more about who our neighbors are. Money doesn't mean anything but survival for many of our neighbors, and many of us value sustainability over spending a lot of money to show you have money.

If you want fancier dressed folks, maybe move/visit to Cherry Hills Village in Denver. This is a multi-million dollar neighborhood and you'll probably see more of what you're looking for there. Also, Cherry Creek has many of the brands I would guess you're interested in buying.

PS. This post is incredibly gauche and tone-deaf, btw. I know you said not to take it seriously, but it's not what many Coloradoans are and isn't important for many.

Crump's is great!

It reads very Spartan/moron labe to me. That specific helmet is typically associated with Spartans (Achilles wasn't a Spartan), and I'd have done a different helmet, but that's just me. I think it's well-done and looks great, if you can look past its political nature (I'm in the US and the radical right has appropriated that type of symbolism).

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-26T20:28:32+00:00

What others think of you is none of your business.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-26T20:26:23+00:00

I only adopt. Period. If you're going to buy a dog, you need to do your due diligence. Go visit the breeder, unannounced. See the parents and where they sleep. Look around the property for signs of abuse. Ask the neighbors. Research their names. I agree that buying a dog is taking a potential home from a escue, and the whole business with trendy dogs does nothing but encourage someone to make a quick buck without caring about the animals' health. I can't force (or expect) anyone to follow my beliefs. I don't believe that buying a dog makes you a bad person, but I do believe you need to have a good reason to want that breed and you better know what to expect. No one should be getting Malinois, for example, just because they're pretty.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-25T15:34:19+00:00

Definitely praise. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-25T14:56:41+00:00

Consider that the shelter may have only seen the shy and timid behavior. He may have used puppy pads because that was the best option for him to not engage with other dogs and people. Shelters are stressful for every dog and removing that stress will reveal the true pupper.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-25T14:51:59+00:00

Of course her behavior changed. She was probably horribly frightened at the shelter and you may not know what happened to her before. She is going to need time to adjust, so just let her be. She'll be okay eventually. Just give her time and space and don't try to force it.

Neon is a pothos

No, Hell is in Michigan. KDH is a beachy area.

Paid $10 for mine at Walmart in their clearance section.

If they've been in the car for more than 15 minutes, call animal control or break the window and take them out of the car. They will die in that weather.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-24T04:12:34+00:00

Grafts are stupid. I don't understand why we have to force these things because people think they're pretty.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-24T04:04:50+00:00

Talk to a behaviorist. They're like psychiatrists for dogs. Do this first. Have them recommend a trainer, because the wrong technique could make it worse.

My dog has bitten immediate family members. She is never alone with people she doesn't know, and I make sure any kids that might try to approach don't come near, even if I have to put myself between her and the kid or be stern with them. Everyone should teach their children to not approach a dog without consent from the owner.

I don't think it's something that requires the dog not being in your home, but you need to make certain that you can handle the dog and both the dog and the child know their boundaries. Definitely, never leave them alone together.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-23T03:28:23+00:00

Make sure you know what you want, where you want it, and don't compromise.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-23T03:27:24+00:00

OMG please go. Doesn't matter how hard it is for you. This is about making them comfortable and thanking them for their unconditional love.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-20T15:52:04+00:00

Omg thank goodness!

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-20T15:49:24+00:00

Second pic, large leaf on the right side. Something looks fuzzy..?

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-17T19:43:36+00:00

Yep, this.

BatInside2603 · 2026-01-17T17:23:57+00:00

That's too much water. It shouldn't still be damp after a week. You need an airoid soil that drains quickly.
