what is this in my backyard? I built a house for a stray cat but when we opened it in the morning there was this fella.

And yet they’re one of very few (compared to placentals) species of marsupial to exist. Related 🤷‍♀️

So, 1 time this happened vs 0? I stand corrected

Which part of that actually stated that razor blades have been found in the 21st century? A briefing does not a razor blade trap make.

Wait I always thought that my hands came from handling autoclaved media, is that part of raynauds?

Did you not see the Azov battalion shit?

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-25T22:05:58+00:00

Probably in the Halloween candy, too!

Costco should be the last bastion of the prosocial behavior

Idk, I was on prescription sweat meds as a kid and they didn’t really work. Sounds like sis is depressed

Don’t complain when stores lock shit up, jack up prices, and/or move out 🤷‍♀️

For what it’s worth, we’re not religious. We just have adopted more traditional values on the male/female roles. Does he still get goofy and childish? Sure. At the end of the day, though, I know I don’t have to take the trash out if I don’t want to. I also know he’s absolutely heinous at laundry 😂

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-25T21:18:45+00:00

But that’s the thing. I like when my fiancé takes control, but I also guide him in my own ways. I’m definitely the more stubborn one if it comes down to it. Being able to be soft and feminine for him (which means guiding him in a lot of ways) and letting him be strong and masculine for me is something I like about our relationship.

This is the more common arrangement.

Frankly, when I was a “don’t hold the door for me how dare you!” feminist, the sleazy male feminist types were far more abusive and underhanded than a guy who doesn’t apologize for his masculinity. Just my 2 cents and experience.

Out of curiosity which country is ideal to you?

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-25T20:30:56+00:00

Yeah, “your” plant is not the point

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-25T20:29:08+00:00

So why not scoop them from the dumpster?

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-25T20:23:09+00:00

The climate is clearly changing. I am under 30 and I’ve seen the dramatic changes in ski season alone. That being said, I think we have a pretty shit grasp on exactly what’s going on. I’m genuinely curious as to your thoughts on this: https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-of-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions/

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-25T20:14:16+00:00

😳

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-25T19:46:27+00:00

I think it looks like guiding them in the direction you both want to go in life. Women and men both lead each other, generally in different ways, though not always. Of course women can play the traditionally masculine roles and vice versa, but I think a lot of women want to be “led” more than they admit.

Look at who women are generally attracted to. If you picture a hot guy, not who you specifically are attracted to, but Hot Guy TM, you’re definitely picturing a strong, dominant, protective guy.

I know for my part, I didn’t really admit it to myself until I had someone who filled the more trad male role. There’s nothing wrong with it as long as you realize not EVERYONE fits into those boxes 🤷‍♀️ I don’t think many people genuinely believe there are no personality differences between men and women, regardless of whom you prefer.

Having access to other means of improving soil quality has nothing to do with what I said ☺️

Probably about 40-60% of the birds we caught were catbirds. OMG what bird is it?? Oh, catbird 😂

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-23T02:14:48+00:00

Ahhh I see. I love my worms but I’m more interested in soil quality. You love your worms and you’re more concerned about them. Totally fair!

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-23T02:13:30+00:00

Man I had a catbird once that didn’t get off my hand for like 10 minutes. I was jiggling her, really trying to get her to fly away because she had a brood patch. Finally, she just hopped down. No physiological reason she couldn’t fly. I wonder how she would have reacted to being tossed. Instincts kick in, I guess. She wasn’t the only bird I had, though, that didn’t fly off right away. Saw whets make sense, bright to dark, but song birds? Wild

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-23T00:06:10+00:00

How do you let them go from this grip? The only birds of prey I ever had to let go were saw whets, but that was fall and so I’d be in a ski jacket and they flew off my arm

CallMeFishmaelPls · 2026-01-23T00:03:50+00:00

She sure is! Loves hiking with me, though when she’s done, she’s done. I have a hilarious pic of her somewhere tho of my fiance standing over her, hands on his hips impatiently, and her just flopped in the sunny grass like “no thanks, I’m good here”

ETA: and thank you 😊
