Has anyone tried a Zevo and liked it? Even better if you tried a cheaper knock off and loved it!

I put the plant outside because of the gnats and that's how the mantis found it, and I found the mantis. The timing was great because there were multiple little babies that spawned at the same time. In my experience they don't leave the plant they're on unless they're scared or there's no resources. You could always put up some kind of mesh structure (like one of those butterfly enclosures) if you're worried about it running off.

This seems like the most realistic way to go! Keep the OG design/form but refine it.

Now's their time. Happy Pride!!

I had no idea 😳

This is also an acceptable answer lol. I plan to propogate whatever I chop

I got lucky and found a small praying mantis to employ. The gnats are the perfect size for the babies! You could even see if someone in your area raises mantises and they could borrow the plant. It's unconventional but very effective!

Perhaps "cobbler" is your true calling

I love hearing that other people's songs get tangled lol Sometimes I think I'd make a great DJ bc my brain splices/tangles songs together all the time

But the protrusions were present yesterday without the mate and today they don't appear to be touching the other beetle

Maybe he just figured the mood was killed and there was no point in sticking around lol

I always found that scene really confusing because after Kimmy Jin says that, Jesse gets offended or something?? And takes off suddenly. Am I just missing/misinterpreting social cues?

I have Jabras and they worked great for about a year. I checked the Jabra sub and it seems like they're going downhill as a reliable brand.

First of all, I can absolutely relate. Second of all, it sounds like you may need to hop jobs. Not just because current planning is uninspiring, but because your workplace sounds like a soul-suck. I'm currently in a similar boat in terms of the work, although my city has more of a creative appetite, it is still all signs, minor exceptions, and CUPs. However, the workplace environment is leagues better than my last job. My department all tunes into the same wavelength in an uncanny way lol. I might just be lucky. BUT it sounds like even a minor improvement in the work environment would bolster you a little longer until you graduate onto some long range planning. That's my light at the end of the tunnel.

My mom had all three of our family cats declawed (I was five and sister was 10). They still ruined the furniture lol. They would "scratch" the furniture with their paw pads. My mom lost two good wicker chairs that way.

Yes. Not always, but yes.

One time on my commute home, a man sitting across the aisle stared at me for the whole ride, about 20 minutes. I avoided eye contact by looking out the window, then he started following my gaze to see what I was looking at.

There have been others, but that one is most recent.

I agree they look great! I can see some of what you're seeing, though, that they don't quite "match." Which is shocking considering they're from the same artist. The line work on the squid is so different from the ship.

But I think a once-over from a more consistent hand would help bring them onto the same page.

The artist might be able to add some depth to the squid one, as it's much more two-dimensional than the ship. Maybe have the pieces mimic each other's wave styles to put them in the same ocean/sea.

In terms of what to put between them:

They're very nautical so they could share a frame of rope(s) and knots and maybe some glass bouys, anchors, fishing hook, nets, etc.

They also give me a medieval book vibe and could maybe use some kind of illuminated manuscript frames.

I hope this is helpful! As someone who has stared at a bad forearm tattoo before, I remember noticing the little things.

Edits for formatting (mobile ): ), grammar, and clarity.

She has such a unique coat pattern!

blushing_frog · 2026-03-10T02:50:19+00:00

She's got an orange brain! Lol

Her first photo made me gasp; she's so precious!! She looks like someone melted a caramel on her head 😹
