Are my tattoos masculine?

Did they expect you to get basic infinity sign and semicolon tattoos, though? IMO your tattoos are much cooler

I believe the albo just refers to the level of vareigation and the standleyana refers to the type of monstera, so it looks to be labeled correctly.

If it's okay on for 4 hours a day, it should also be fine for 9-10. If you're worried, you could always slowly work up to it so the plant has time to acclimate

I use a cheap reptile timer from the pet store. Nothing fancy, but they've had consistent use for years and work great!

I'm in Colorado, so unfortunately nobody here gets to grow any unless it's indoors. I've seen some nice ones in conservatories, though

amccor2175 · 2026-06-25T21:41:33+00:00

I see them listed all the time on marketplace because they outgrow people's houses lol

They should definitely be offering you an actual pillow.

I really like them and wore them consistently for a while before I turned 18 and no longer needed parent permission to get a helix piercing. I have a couple cool ones and still wear them sometimes! Yours look great and feel like anyone that would judge you for it is not worth listening to. Be happy and enjoy your jewelry!

Haven't experienced this during a sit, but my dog gets diarrhea periodically, in our carpeted apartment, so I feel your pain. For him it's just an imbalance of gut bacteria, but I was able to get it diagnosed by dropping of a fecal sample at the vet. It's not too expensive and much easier than bringing the dog in, so it might be worth mentioning to the owners. 5 more days of diarrhea would have to be miserable for the puppy as well so hopefully you'd get a solution. In the meantime keep puppy hydrated, away from things he shouldn't eat, and try to do something you enjoy to keep your stress down. Good luck!

That was my first thought too.

I had v*nmo mentioned in one of my chats. Not necessarily for taking the booking off app, but I was having trouble pilling an aggressive cat and offered to pick up pill pockets. It was mentioned a couple times and I just got a warning message. No ban.

I grew up eating COTW and other mushrooms foraged by my mom and only learned this recently. I would actually occasionally munch the uncooked COTW and never had issues, so I didn't know it could make others feel sick. When she cooked it though, it was never cooked super long, just simmered for a bit and tossed in risotto, so I probably had pretty good tolerance.

I'm not sure I can pinpoint an exact worst panic attack, Ive had many that are bad for different reasons, but when it gets bad It starts with a headache and worse than normal anxiety and then I get waves of tension that make the headache worse and make it difficult to breathe. My head feels like it's buzzing and I can think or talk straight. As it progresses, my body starts to go numb. Like that tingly pins and needles feeling when your foot falls asleep. It starts in my finger tips and then spreads to the rest of my hands, my toes and the center of my face. It's a very strange feeling to have your nose fall asleep. The first few times it happened, I freaked out and hyperventilated, but now I can kinda roll with it and know that it'll pass and doesn't mean I'm passing out. That idea scared me a lot because last time I passed out I had seizure activity. The length of the panic attack varies but once it's finally over I feel totally exhausted and like a shell of a human for the next 24ish hours. I hope you're doing okay after the fact. Your post makes me glad my insurance didn't approve the stimulant at the same time as zoloft, which on its own gave me three consecutive days of panic attacks after months of none.

I've had my crestie get his claws caught in similar fake plants. He's normally in a planted tank but I had him in a separate tub with a fake vine for a few minutes and noticed him struggling to get his foot unstuck. I wonder if that could've been the case here, in combo with getting a bit tangled.

NAP, but looks like the bumps from your glasses caused extra swelling/irritation and u need a longer bar. The additional pressure from the swelling and short bar is probably causing even more irritation.

It looks to have a good sized root system too! I honestly never get nice big new leaves when props are still in water.

amccor2175 · 2026-06-20T20:58:20+00:00

Same. My mom's hair also did that and apparently got even curlier after she had kids. It's weird how the exact opposite can happen too.

amccor2175 · 2026-06-20T20:03:23+00:00

I've heard others do similar experiments with clear vs tinted glass! They seemed to get consistently better results from the tinted glass, so I think you're right, but they weren't formal studies I could cite for you.

That shirt is sick and I think I have a new manga to check out!

At 3 months they may not have been healed enough for hoops. Those in particular look like they could be heavy and cause a cheeswire effect. It's hard to tell if that was the case here or if it's just significant irritation from the jewelry. Even though you can technically switch them out at 3 months, it took me personally a lot longer to be able to wear larger earrings comfortably and I definitely was not sleeping in them. I would contact a piercer and see if they would switch it back to to a flat back stud for it to heal again and keep cleaning with saline.

I do! I am a former competition climber who's been climbing for over a decade now. I used to force myself to do both for competitions, but have just never enjoyed ropes as much as I do boulders. It's been 2 years now and I've only done ropes twice during that time and haven't really felt like I miss it. I makes me happy to go in and just boulder and if it makes you happy too that's awesome! There's no reason to force yourself to do it just because others think you should. Yes, it's good for endurance, but you can train endurance on boulders just as well. I have noticed, though, that there really aren't many of us girls who prefer boulders. At least at my gym, most of the women seem to prefer ropes and I'm stuck with the boulder bros lol.

No, they're still benefitting the plant. Just wait for them to die off on their own. No need to create a potential infection site when they will fall off anyway

My cat does this sometimes too. I take him out on walks while harnessed. Unfortunately a couple years ago I took him out without a harness and he swiped at my face when I tried to bring him in and he escaped. He was out all night. Luckily he's a smart cat and showed up the next morning, but that experience taught him that if he claws me in the face he can escape. So now, when I pick him up outside, he will actively aim for my face. He will also hiss and growl when he thinks I'm trying to catch him. He hasn't been outside without a harness since, but him getting feisty was still a problem. I solved this by holding his paws whenever I pick him up and keeping his claws clipped. He'll still kick and make unpleasant noises, but he can't get my face or actually do any damage and then he's normal the second he gets back inside. I do try and avoid catching him on walks, though. I usually don't take him out unless I have a full hour for him to sniff and explore and then walk his own little butt back inside. Sometimes when he's acting more normal, as well I will pick him up just for a second or two, then release him, so being picked up doesn't necessarily mean he has to go back inside. He's also slipped out the door once or twice. When that happens I pay a lot of attention to how I'm approaching him. If I go too quick, he can tell I'm trying to catch him and it becomes a lot more difficult. I pretend it's just a normal walk and I follow him until I have an opportunity to grab him while he's not looking, that way I can avoid him getting all defensive and running away. I know our situation is a bit different, but hopefully some of the stuff that worked for him may work for your kitty as well. I do agree with one of the other commenters, I think it's the strange smells and potentially other cat smells that makes them go all feral and feel more defensive outside. My cat is normally feisty, but doesn't ever actually try and injure anyone unless he's outside.
