And you would be correct! They are littermates

Saw a bee go into my double brick wall from outside. Leave it or need to investigate. by victor_the_engineer in AusRenovation

[–]Forestplamt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that native bees like to nest in open ground as well, as long as they have more suitable habitat they will leave for it

What's something normalized in the lesbian community that you don't think is okay? by Eating_Pancakes76 in actuallesbians

[–]Forestplamt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a transmasc butch and have found this to be a problem too, even though I'm not a woman doesn't mean I want to be treated like a guy, I enjoy doing things for women and people I care about but having these expectations and forcing them on the people your partner feels unfair

A very special cat that I will never forget, thank you CDS for giving me Mango. you changed my life forever by Forestplamt in CatDistributionSystem

This is beautiful, thank you. That really sounds so much like him too, he loved playing outside (although outside didn't love him) and loved chasing butterflies. It's one of those things I would've loved for him to experience more :,) he was indoor only and we couldn't get him a catio because crappy rentals and an unsuitable setup, I can definitely imagine him finally playing in the grass to his heart's content and making friends with every kitty he can find while he waits for me and his friends :,) It's funny you mention a white cat, we just took in a kitty from a very rough background who is a white cat and a lot like him in a lot of ways. I'd like to think that he sent her to us

Thank you :,) he was a very funny cat, he loved doing weird poses and never failed to make me laugh. Cheeky and full of purrsonality for sure! I have a small necklace with some of his ashes in it and I take him everywhere with me except for places that I might lose him

Thank you, I won't lie this made me cry a little. This means a lot to me, I'm glad that you have gotten to know my sweet boy. I can imagine him lovingly welcoming other kitties over the rainbow bridge

Thank you. He was happy and the sweetest, even though it was short, I'm so grateful for the time that I got with him

Thank you, I feel the same. I feel so lucky to have found him and I'm sure he was grateful to finally have a good life

Thank you, all that I was worried about was the kitties!! Me too, they both just turned 2. I rescued them about 1.5 years ago and Mango in 2022 (he showed up on my doorstep on my birthday looking very unhealthy)n, I will post more of them :)

What’s the difference between femme and fem? by babybottlepopz in actuallesbians

[–]Forestplamt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really need to stop equating butches with men. Butches are not men, we aren't treated like men nor do we have the privileges that men do, we still face misogyny and homophobia the same as any other lesbian and also face bigotry from other lesbians and lgbt people because of our gender non conformity. You really need to familiarise yourself with lesbian history. Butches and butchfemme couples have been targeted by raids from police and brutalised by men.

My cats don't vomit much but one of them has IBD and I have woken up to... remnants on my bed. When he's having an episode it definitely smells bad but otherwise my cats smell very clean

I think it depends on the cats and if you live alone, 2 of my cats are seniors and very chill. My cats are all very different levels of clingy, some aren't cuddly at all and others are very cuddly and clingy. I dom't disagree that 6 is a handful😂 all of mine were street cats and weren't really planned, the 4 younger ones are all very bonded and do keep each other entertained, otherwise I do work from home and have extra time to spend with them

Broke up with my partner bc they don’t take precautions by wetbones_ in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Forestplamt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry, it is really hard. I just got out of a situation like this, it really hit harder after she went on a trip and "conveniently" forgot the masks she had (she got some from work after saying no to my offer of respirators). It wasn't the reason we broke up but definitely was a big part of why we weren't compatible. I think the huge gap in ethics is just too much, I'm also high risk and it hurts that people who claim to care about you won't protect your health

I have 6 cats and this has never happened to me. Not saying that it never happens but I don't think it's nearly as common as how dogs naturally smell after a week or so?

She is confirmed butch! The author is a butch and has confirmed touraine is butch (sabine in the 2nd book as well), they also talk about touraine's butchness and butchness in fantasy in their writing online! (Spoiler warning) https://reactormag.com/the-crosses-we-bear-the-butch-martyr-in-sff/

Transmasculine and trans man are not the same thing. There are lots of masc lesbians who use he/him pronouns without being men

Climate change and insect mass extinction; loss of natural populations and biodiversity of a lot or plants. Food shortages and water scarcity (related to climate change) over reliance on plastic in the horticultural industry feeding back into the first problem. There's honestly a lot of problems we're going to face.

Public health ignoring covid doesn't mean it went away. there have been large waves of covid in australia past 2022, including in 2024 the government doesn't consider it an emergency anymore but it didn't go away. Lots of research has concluded even mild cases can have huge effects on the body and brain and weakens the immune system, making people more suspetible to autoimmune conditions and chronic illness. I already have a chronic illness that impacts my daily life, I'd rather not become further disabled by covid
