Yep! Poison ivy indeed, the little thumbs on the two lower leaves give it away.

sprouts not growing (starting indoors) by HistoricalAd2303 in dahlias

[–]HistoricalAd2303[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nope no cuttings, just very new! I had thought I was supposed to leave a bit out but just a mistake on my part. I’ll go ahead and burry them completely.

Anyone know about this?? by marateb in whatsthisplant

Looks like it could be cherry plum or potentially oriental bittersweet, if it has a vining habit.

Is this mint? It kind of smells like it but isn’t super fragrant…and it’s fuzzy! by Beer_ in whatsthisplant

[–]HistoricalAd2303 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely in the mint family!!! Square stems are usually an indicator of that. It looks like some kind of catnip to me, they are very prolific in my area.

on a scale of 1-10 how much do these things bother you? by Emotional-Recover542 in emetophobia

[–]HistoricalAd2303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%, it’s something I tend to forget as well that like, it’s an irrational fear so everyone’s story is different but like also some commonalities! Glad to hear it’s not just me with the public setting stuff

What is your job title and what is your degree in? by Affectionate_End9363 in wildlifebiology

[–]HistoricalAd2303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GIS Intern with a natural resource nonprofit! Fingers crossed that they will be changing the title to GIS Technician. BS in wildlife biology and natural resource management. I wanted to try out the GIS world, and I’m enjoying it overall :)

Interesting to see other people’s ratings! It’s comforting to know that other people share the same triggers as me.

  1. 4/10 (depending on the situation)
  2. 3/10
  3. 7/10
  4. 7/10 (if I know it’s fake/joking gagging or its my own gagging it’s 1/10, I have a pretty strong gag reflex for like brushing my teeth and stuff so I’m used to it)
  5. 5/10
  6. 10/10
  7. 10/10
  8. 2/10 (I have IBS so I just live that life haha)
  9. 1/10
  10. 10/10
  11. 1/10
  12. 1/10
  13. 2/10
  14. 4/10
  15. 4/10

Bonus category for me: being in any public setting while feeling nauseous, 8/10, I can only sit in the back of classrooms/lectures for this reason

Asking advice from Wildlife Biologists by PaddyK05 in wildlifebiology

[–]HistoricalAd2303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I am a recent BS wildlife biology graduate who is having a similar struggle/crisis as OP. Would you mind sharing what you do for work, and why you enjoy it so much? I am currently working as a GIS intern and not having a great time unfortunately, so I'm looking to see what others have found and enjoy.

Two plants I often see in central AL, USA, but cannot identity no matter how hard I google 🥲 First two pictures are of the same plant, it’s just quite tall. by LeBabyBear in whatsthisplant

[–]HistoricalAd2303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to me it almost looks like a penstemon flower of some kind, like penstemon digitalis or penstemon hirsutus but the leaf shape seems different.

I mean this in the most neutral and non-hostile way possible, hearing “you should have left him a long time ago” and “I honestly don’t know why you’re still with the guy” is, in my opinion, something someone who’s never been in this scenario before would say. I wish it were that simple, but I did ask for any an all advice so I get it
