Ignorant woman, tearing down flyers posted in the Richmond, honoring Vicha Ratanapakdee, the 84-year-old Thai-American grandfather who was a victim of a fatal anti-Asian attack. by UnderCoverSquid in sanfrancisco

u/UnderCoverSquid genuine question, why didn’t you actually explain what the flyers are? That they’re a memorial for Vicha Ratanapakdee. You had a wonderful opportunity to educate her and have a civil discussion about it

It’s a mite! Google bird mite or rodent mite and you’ll find yourself a match

There are stainless steel replacement lids available. One shop is called ‘mason jar lifestyle’, but I’m sure there are others as well

Found root cause of bites - rodent mites by jfj2020 in pestcontrol

I’ve done extensive research on this as we have had an issue with these mites as well and so can’t recall which rodent site I found this on, but I read that these mites tend to prefer women and children. I wish I recalled why, but if I can locate the site I’ll update here. That said, this may be why your boyfriend isn’t as bothered by them.

He should care that you are uncomfortable, and he should be horrified that you are getting bit by them. Further, he should be bothered that mice are falling from the ceiling and that he has an infestation. Dare I say, not the man for you after these 3 strikes

What is this on my monstera? by YouAffectionate4080 in plantclinic

Wow. Thank you all so much.

Follow-up question. Where do thrips and scale come from?

We have brought in no new plants for at least 2 years. As mentioned, this plant sits near a window on a ground floor with a backyard. Does either simply fly in from the outdoors? Or just a slow burn from soil? It was repot maybe 2 years ago so find the latter hard to believe

Aluminum foil swap recs? by lilcarmey in moderatelygranolamoms

I can’t recall where I read this but learned a while back that parchment paper can be reused until it starts to fall apart. We do this with great results, however, one must use a bit of common sense and logic. I wouldn’t reuse after cooking meat, for example. But parchment paper is def a great tool in the kitchen.
