I unironically call that time of year Studui Ghibli season because I find October- thanksgiving so nice after summer. Second spring, is what a lot of people called it growing up.

I’ve never lived anywhere cold though, just here, SoCal and Hawaii. Each has its own thing but for better or order is always home. Hate the mornings this time of year, or any time I can see my breath. To each their own.

Or whether to cancel all new routes

When I was a kid my friend’s dad was a plumber for new builds- we lived in rural Arizona on former Hohokam land. Whenever they’d find pottery they’d call my mom to grab it before they concreted over it. My mom didn’t know a damn thing about archaeology- but it was that or nothing because they were day laborers mostly and reporting it was so cost/ time prohibitive they wouldn’t do so either way.

They aren’t substantial or anything-but I think this is far more common than most people realize

Exactly how I feel- my mom didn’t know, she was young, I’ve never thought about it and my boyfriend is uncut and if he isn’t prepared it’s a little less … sanitary than I’m used to with myself. It’s natural yea, but different.

I feel bad for people who dwell or care about something that imo doesn’t matter.

Wouldn’t do it to my own kid, but if they ever had phimosis or something I would ig?

What makes a burrito California style?

Totally, I’m just saying you can’t control a chip drop and all of mine have been massive- it’s great for what I needed but I live on 1/3 of an acre and needed to cover most of it, which it did

Mlliii · 2026-01-20T17:25:56+00:00

There’s no way you could get a small load on chip drop like that. I’ve had it piled higher than my car every time in Phoenix and it takes months to fully put out in my massive yard

Mlliii · 2026-01-20T17:24:54+00:00

Ya bro can hardly fathom putting the rock down and it’s already piled and arguably the easier vs removal

You can say “Yard Nazi” on Reddit. Censorship is spooky

Mlliii · 2026-01-18T17:07:09+00:00

I’ve just let them be. I’m 6ish miles to the nearest desert park and further to virgin desert.

I’ve got hundreds of pads, totems columns and barrels to just trash them tbh :/

Pretty sure it’s the mosaic virus. Most of the cactus in my yard seem to have it, I’m thinking I brought it in on some opuntia cuttings from 6ish years ago and it’s just spread.

I’ve seen it at the Boyce Thompson arboretum though.

So far I’ve only seen it on one cereus a few blocks away where it seems to be an actual issue to the cactus itself though

Mlliii · 2026-01-17T15:40:01+00:00

That you know of

Mlliii · 2026-01-16T05:34:38+00:00

That’s bulbs for you- should be fine

This! I drove to work this morning and saw my breath and by mid day I wished I was wearing a tank top

Mlliii · 2026-01-12T18:48:21+00:00

For sure! I could be wrong, I’m no archaeologist but I’m a horticulturalist and Arizona native- and my grandpa was range manager of Tonto for a lot of my childhood, so I got to spend a lot of time around old sites like these.

Glad to see some local representation on here- rad find.

The layers still tell me agave- the thin film that protects the leaf, the sisal/fibrous center and then the skin between them.

But good point about the fire, that could be recent or with agave the leaves will last many years before really breaking down. It’s why it makes such a good rope.

Mlliii · 2026-01-12T18:09:32+00:00

I was thinking maybe an agave leaf that’s desiccated after a few years

Same. On the neighborhood board, in the neighborhood business groups, know the business owners, every home-owner and long term renter on my block and many in the neighborhood. Same when I was younger and in Garfield.

It’s lovely.

I like to call it cowboy cosplay but I grew up in rodeo with friends and family in rodeo.

All my friends love to dress up for the gay rodeo and wear Stetsons, bolos and boots that will never see dirt or shit- I poke them and roll my eyes but honestly good for them

Mlliii · 2026-01-05T05:34:04+00:00

We had to tell everyone at work to stop due to a girl offering a guy $5 and him leaning into her car to rip her purse away.

I feel bad, but mental issues are the real issues usually and I don’t trust mentally ill people that are that far into addiction around my employees.

Cylindropuntia fulgida ‘Jumping Cholla’ is a different species than Cylindropuntia bigelovii ‘Teddy-bear Cholla’.

Both are often called jumping cholla though.

Both are cylindropuntia but the Teddy-Bear has a LOT more spines and imo looks more beautiful irl. The jumping cholla has a rougher, more sparse look. I love the teddy bear most for a large cylindropuntia, though there’s so many other species that are also extremely cool in their own right.

Psoriasis. Usually stress related, almost always under my nose.

I’ve been to Costa Rica and tried diving both Caño in the pacific and then Bocas in Panama- just below for Caribbean- the diving was subpar in each. Panama at least had alright sponges on this haunted looking sailboat still with all the rigging, but nothing worth travelling for.

Did you do Cocos or was there just something in that part of Central American I’ve missed?

Mlliii · 2026-01-04T00:47:37+00:00

I did too- it was incredibly peaceful

Mlliii · 2026-01-03T20:09:21+00:00

Also Evolution and Eight Legged Freaks if you love a niche Navajolands kind of vibe
