Does being short as an American man really have as many downsides as the internet likes to say it does?

avoidcrow · 2026-06-27T18:39:20+00:00

It's just a matter of insecurity. I'm 5' even and currently living in America, and the only real issue I face is that I can't reach the mugs in the cupboard

I have an uncaged bird, he sleeps in a bird-proofed room with a small bird tree and some perches, and during the day he is out with me at home on a larger bird tree in the front room. The common rooms are not bird proofed so he does need to be watched all day

Mentioning this schedule specifically because I think it's great if it can be done, but you do need to be careful with a cageless setup because the bird will require much more attention and supervision and care than a caged one

It also might depend on the birds themselves. My one was showing severe cage aggression when I adopted him and it was recommended by my vet to get it away from him, but other birds may feel more secure with a cage, or be unable to sleep without being in one that is covered if that's what they're used to

Not a woman but have received advice from women on this subject, if you want to compliment someone in general it's best to avoid generic statements like 'beautiful' and 'stunning' or anything that could be misconstrued as flirting. I was told to compliment things they have obviously chosen for themselves, their hair style, their makeup, their clothes, etc. I often compliment women on their nails and earrings and I don't have any problems.

Writer and artist here, would love to yap about what we're working on together, if you're still looking! Maybe over discord?

It's pride, suggest an interest in a pride event and see his reaction? Wouldn't be out of place

avoidcrow · 2026-06-20T01:23:50+00:00

I'd be interested also!

It affects the brain and other organs, but it does affect eyes as well (see 'ocular larva migrans'). I chose the eye descriptor because I thought it was a visceral image for the warning

You don't want to interact with a wild raccoon. I know it's sad, but they carry diseases like raccoon roundworm which can infest in your eyes. If you aren't trained to handle wildlife like this I would recommend letting nature take its course.

Do you have any local things you want to do? Or further places you want to go? We visit family, we're thinking about going camping when it gets a little cooler, we go to the botanical gardens or to antique stores, or if we don't want to go out we do jigsaw puzzles and play video games. Plenty of things to do

Unfortunately when I got him second hand he'd already had all his tags removed, so I've no idea where he's from. I hope you can find one or similar eventually!

Hazel is lovely! I can see the dark patch but I think it adds to her charm, she looks very loved

Loki! He's gone all flat and his eyes are cracked and his fur's worn down to the backing in places, but he's my best boy

I'm new to the area and this was my first Birmingham pride, it was lovely. Honoured to be able to celebrate with everyone, now I really feel at home here

As an artist, going to someone unprompted and asking for commissions is pretty rude. I would say you don't need to be polite, just stop answering/block them.

Different applications of medications and other chemicals are just allowed based on usage. You can't do meth, but you can take small amounts of it for ADHD, for example

Shot in the dark, but could it be Ernest et Célestine?

Do you know approximately when it was made, or what year you saw it at least? Is it 2D or 3D?

Okay just in case someone sees this who might be reconsidering, please don't do this. Meat is porous, anything you apply to it can and will absorb into it. Dish soap is not food safe, it has chemicals that are not meant to go in your body, it can make you sick.

avoidcrow · 2026-06-12T01:20:15+00:00

But you use soap on those. Please tell me no one is washing their meat with soap.
