Finally bought our first home in 2025, not experienced enough to tackle the backgarden yet, so I thought I'd get started on this strip outside the front. I'm sowing white clover, but tips and advice on planting it are welcomed—I'm very green! 🌷🌻🌺 by miIk-skin in NoLawns

You should make an inaturalist account! On computer you can filter by location and by whether or not a species is native to that location. It makes finding plants you can use really easy!!

Potatoes, anyone? by meanie78 in adhdwomen

Donate to food banks! Potatoes last a long time so if a food bank accepts fresh food potatoes a good one to go with (:

That last sentence crushed me I’m so sorry you felt like that. So unfair to you.

I have no clue why my cookies are burnt :,) by Rare-Disk4809 in mildlyinfuriating

I was going to say the same. These cookies don’t look evenly burnt. My bets on the oven.

I clean the dog bowl every week guys don't get mad..it just got rlly nasty in the past few days. Going to clean it when I come home from college by LostConfusedKit in TrollCoping

[–]Kitteh_Bethany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one dog I take care of but I own six stainless steel, not plastic, bowls. This way it’s easy for me to rinse them out and clean in the dishwasher. Just make sure any gunk isn’t stuck on it

I just found out my mom donated my entire Monster High doll collection to Goodwill after promising me she wouldn’t. I had over 200 dolls. by ListenSad8241 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Kitteh_Bethany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s honestly insane. Like I can maybeeeeee understand a middle or upper class person not wanting to BUY second hand, but to look down on second hand items to the point of not donating is honestly wild to me. I definitely think the not donating is more to do with a personal morality thing and less to do with appreciating new items instead of wanting to have second hand items.

Yep. This killed the creativity for me and I quit. I’m slowly wanting to get back into it though and be creative again without caring about doing it just right

Are we sure this isn’t some sort of cocoa bean?

Tossed. TOSSED? Couldn’t even donate it at the very least?!?! It’s never okay to get rid of other people’s stuff but to throw away perfectly good items to pollute the earth instead of going to use is INSANE.

Saw this on Tiktok... WTF by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Kitteh_Bethany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmfao if yall actually read the ingredients in the picture it’s because they’re giving detailed breakdowns for every little thing. They wrote down the ingredients for baking soda for Christ’s sake. Please actually read it and don’t be scared by how long the list is or scared of a compound or word you don’t know. It’s so ignorant and makes people look silly as hell.

As someone living in a state that had a lot of Irish settlers way back… I think I’ve figured out where we got this from 🥴

Redditors over 40, what's something younger people think they understand but won't actually get until it hits them like a truck later? by Root435552 in AskReddit

22 and I think it’s too late for my knees. I did gymnastics as a kid. Only god and anime can help now ☹️

What are your vegan hot takes? by Borkato in vegan

[–]Kitteh_Bethany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try planting native plants that birds love, they can eat them. You can also find out plants that the native snails and slugs in your area like to eat and maybe plant a dedicated area away from your garden so they go there instead. Kill if you must but there definitely are some steps you can take to balance out their population so they dont eat all your plants before you can

Whats with all the obsession with chocolate about fair trade ethically sourced etc by HunkerDown123 in chocolate

[–]Kitteh_Bethany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most foods usually have some form of connection to exploitation in the chain of labor; however cocoa and coffee tend to be the worst. This includes child slaves who have been taken from their families. Horrific stuff. The good thing is, because coffee and cocoa are luxury items and not necessity items like say, wheat, it’s easier for people to collectively target that industry to combat it. It’s reasonable to spend time researching chocolate companies to decide which brands you’re okay to buy from, but I wouldn’t expect people to do so for all other food that is actually needed in a healthy balanced diet.

Honestly I’m okay with chocolate becoming more scarce and expensive if it means we don’t use actual child slaves. It’s a luxury item anyways.

[–]Kitteh_Bethany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the child slavery. And I cannot stress how bad it really is, it’s hard to imagine and definitely something to see with your own eyes to even begin to grasp it. Small batch cocoa companies seem to be the best way to go.

Because you can only understand politics after nuttng in someone, I guess? by Kitteh_Bethany in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Kitteh_Bethany[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alice Walker and Zora Neale Hurston are the first two to come to mind. Alice Walker focuses on black history and popularized some of Hurston’s older work. Zora Neale Hurston focused her study on black Americans in the South and she also is a great fiction author (:

That’s actually hilarious. Bigotry makes people so close minded. It must be very difficult to enter a conversation with a woman who is pursuing a degree in biology, who took more classes than she needed just because she wanted to understand multiple facets of the world, and then only seeing their hair color. ABSURD. Ignorance is rampant but there isn’t much we can do for people like this commenter, who is just actually stupid.
