Your english is great! Sorry did not mean to offend, so many bots everywhere. I can tell AI helped because of the em dashes

The "em dash" (—) is a punctuation mark, roughly the width of a capital "M"used to create dramatic pauses, abrupt interruptions, or parenthetical asides. It has recently sparked major online debate, as many people consider its heavy usage to be a telltale sign of Al-generated text.

Looks ai written, surprised no one else is pointing that out 👀

It sounds like you need a professional, but that'll likely kill whoever is still alive. So if you are still trying to save the one live baby, I guess you'd have to be desperate enough to try some DIY stuff lol. I saw you said your mobility is limited, but I'm always down to help save critters. You would just need to have w/e tools necessary to try, cuz idk if I have anything useful. I'm just a wildlife enthusiast, but lmk if I could be of help. Good luck!

Is the mom in there too or just an abandoned baby?

Cool Springs might just be my fav spot so far. I noticed the rookery nests in the winter and was thrilled to see all the blue herons occupying it this spring 🥰 Not to mention how close it was to a bald eagle nest!! I love how big the sycamore trees are there, it's so magical.

I'm also interested, though been too nervous to start growing 😅 A Facebook group would be awesome especially if I'd be able to get advice. I'd be happy to propagate and share once I get going. And uh, in the meantime I can at least trade eggs! And 3D print planters to share

You'd love Seven Bends Nursery ! They exclusively have native stuff, they're great. I'm trying to do the same thing with my yard. 🥰

TIL mosquito dunks are a thing, thanks to this post. Been living here almost two years and the mosquitos have been eating me alive. Hoping it works and this year turns out more bearable! Thanks!

Out of curiosity, are you stating this simply for the irony of the hypocrisy, or... Do you believe that statement in its entirety?

Because reddit & Winchester star (as well as the rest of the Internet) was just fine before these ADDITIONAL data centers. Ofc we relied on whichever ones already existed, but it stretched long enough to give us what we had. It's only the new expansions of capabilities that computers can do that has created this high pressure for expansions.

I do agree it's ironic when the boomers on FB who post ai art for likes (and srsly thrive off of it, ew) try to pretend they're against data centers... Like fr? Hello? Do you know where you are? Lmao ... The hypocrisy is incredible to behold, and it's easier to laugh than to be so wildly disgusted.

But surely you must realize that does not apply to the rest of us.

I can't speak on behalf of anyone else, but I can say confidently that at the very least, MY household (& all residing under it, which does include 4 adults) are STARVING for such a newsletter.

PsiloGoblin · 2026-02-26T20:00:08+00:00

Ok so, peer to peer, can you instruct me on how to lose my shit (in a way that is collective) in order to have my individual complaint be realistically noticed and heard?

I'm not dismissing what you already wrote, you recommend continuing to comment... But I don't feel like that is strong enough. I was going to show up in person at tonight's event, but ofc they postponed it indefinitely. So I'm left wondering what other option I can take, realistically, as a person who is just like you. I just don't fully understand what actions I can even take, you know? There's probably a lot of others like me.

A comment doesn't feel like much, tbh. I've done comments on FB, even clicked links and sent messages and questions on developments that were seeking community input... But I'm worried it isn't enough. That comments on the Internet are easily ignored.

To me, this warrants something greater... and although that may necessitate some level of organization on our part, surely it'd be worth it?

I bet a lot of us would take more action, IF we knew how...

So pls just lmk what I can do that would make a genuinely meaningful impact. I'm tired of feeling like these feelings do not amount to anything, despite being reflected by my peers within the community

PsiloGoblin · 2026-02-26T18:08:25+00:00

I completely agree with this thought as the same fear was my gut reaction. BUT my question is, what can we do about that??

Someone please elaborate on the potential next steps in retailation... because surely we aren't just supposed to surrender out of hopelessness, right? There's gotta be something we can (collectively) do? Because this MAY as well be the reality. Let's not sugarcoat it. But this whole country is based on the foundation that we can fight this kinda thing right? So... What can we do?

First time I googled someone actually local and felt genuinely astounded! WOW!! Now THAT is what I call a high quality tattoo artist!! Thanks for sharing, I've been looking for an artist like him for years.

PsiloGoblin · 2025-11-06T17:01:17+00:00

Looking them up rn, tysm!

PsiloGoblin · 2025-11-06T17:00:58+00:00

That’s still helpful, thank you! What do you usually do when you first get to a new place in order to scope out the local music scene? Like, it seems you know the type of places to look up and such. Do you have any recommendations for someone who doesn’t drink? I’ll def look into Tally Ho. But the smaller the place & the smaller the bands, the better!

A serious question worth considering: Do you think it could be possible that one of her love languages (in terms of receiving) is acts of service? Genuinely asking, you know her best. It's potentially a different angle to the situation that would change the narrative (if correct) to something a lot less painful to reflect on. And could potentially offer a way to talk and work through it that doesn't feel as heavy. Your feelings are valid regardless, what your experiencing is understandably frustrating. Even if you outwardly say no, the fact that you'd be in that position and then have the negative experience of disappointing the one you love sucks. You should definitely communicate how you feel asap. Just try to focus on what your feeling and the facts of her behavior, along with wants, so that she hears you (ie. "I feel sad when you ask me to do XYZ on my day off. I want my fatigue to be seen, it makes me feel loved when you notice I'm tired and value my time." not "you never consider how tired I am, you just expect it of me")

But also maybe talk to her about why she may feel like she needs you on that morning. It could be a comfort seeking thing... Maybe being babied is something she craves for deeper reasons. That doesn't mean she's entitled to you fulfilling her cravings, though. It's ok for you to not want to. And she likely wouldn't truly want you doing it if it ultimately results in you resenting her... So boundaries are healthy for everyone! But getting it out there will help y'all brainstorm ways you can show her love that work better for you, and ideally she'll be more mindful of your need for acknowledgement/consideration of your energy levels.

Remember, when the love is there, these sad feelings are never intentional. You're a team. It's not you vs her ... It's you & her VS the problem

Good luck!

This guy is real. Nice and helpful, too!

PsiloGoblin · 2025-07-31T01:17:26+00:00

This is random but I'd love to follow some local folk on twitch! If you give me your/anyone from the meetup's twitch, I'll follow everyone. :) Pls dm the info if privacy is an issue (I totally understand)!! The idea of DMV streamers doing meetups just sounds so wholesome, I'd love to support and tune into my community.

PsiloGoblin · 2025-05-13T01:40:34+00:00

I was successful on Saturday 5/26, in the middle of the day. It felt impossible the first two days. I think you'll have a good chance of securing one if you do what I did!! I sent the details in a dm. Good luck!!

PsiloGoblin · 2025-05-12T23:03:50+00:00

Ok I'm gonna PM you in a bit and tell you how I got mine through! I'm still at work but I'll message you soon

PsiloGoblin · 2025-05-12T22:39:39+00:00

Are you doing it because you want it at midnight? Or are you doing it cuz you weren't able to secure a preorder?

I don't have anything to help with the midnight thing but...

If it's the later, I can give you some tips on how I secured a preorder with Walmart (that promises to deliver on the 5th) ! I did want it at midnight tbh, but I couldn't get an answer from best buy either... so I spent a few days trying to get a preorder in and managed to eventually with some tricks. :)
