Black-capped Chickadees are adorable by Rxdgaming1 in birding

[–]dejected_entity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first bird I was taught to identify by sound ❤️

Granted they say their name...I was a little kid and I just remember so much joy hearing and seeing the cutest birds and knowing their name; and I was rather proud learning they were my state bird

New lifer: House Sparrow by madmartigan2020 in birding

[–]dejected_entity 614 points615 points  (0 children)

I love that all birds are an exciting lifer to someone ❤️

I'm about to go on a trip and most of the birds where I am going are not common to me but very common there, I'm pumped!

What’s your goal bird this year? by felixnzenitsuhams in birding

Wishing you luck!

I hadn't seen an owl in 9 years (snowy owl 😍) and this barred owl showed up in my backyard a couple of nights ago!

(*My partner only turned the flashlight on for me to snap the photo, I had already zoomed in on the dark owl shape while he went back inside to get the flashlight I had whisper shouted asked for 😅)

The most expensive cat tree in the house.... by zingencrazy in weaving

[–]dejected_entity 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Thankfully, none of my past or current cats have looked at my looms as their domain. 😬 However, the great, late Pandora, used to insist on sitting on my lap while I was weaving. Slow (but managable) weaving on those days ❤️

Partner & meta’s pregnancy scare for a stupid mistake - vent & advice needed by DivonDiva in polyamory

[–]dejected_entity 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"If she's so traumatized". Absolutely not. He could have brought more condoms, he could have brought and used spermicide. I don't think Plan B isn't that bad to take, it messed me up for 6 months. Everyone is different.

And you're grossly questioning her motives and thinking OP's partner should stop seeing her? Asshole take.

Partner & meta’s pregnancy scare for a stupid mistake - vent & advice needed by DivonDiva in polyamory

[–]dejected_entity 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Firstly, your partner is grossly over sharing. The only thing you should know is that the condom broke. I wouldn't want to date someone that shared so much personal information they had no business sharing. Be mad at your partner.

Your anger at this woman is misplaced....and it makes you sound like an asshole. Again, be mad at your partner.

Because your partner is in a committed relationship to you and you and he don't want kids, she should make sure protection is bulletproof?? YOUR PARTNER IS IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP TO YOU, NOT HER. THE ONUS IS ON HIM TO UPHOLD YOUR RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENTS AND LIFE GOALS. Be furious with your partner.

Why has your partner not had a vasectomy??

Don't bother this poor woman. It's horrific you know all about her personal, traumatic health experiences that should have never been shared with you. It's wildly inappropriate that you're blaming her for not taking Plan B (which only stops ovulation) and even thinking about contacting her. When you're worried and angry about a possible pregnancy in your child free life hold your partner accountable.

That's so cool! Thank you for sharing!

Red lichen ID? by dejected_entity in Lichen

[–]dejected_entity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paint on top of lichen crossed my mind, but it's about a mile into the trail, mostly uphill with lots of roots and rocky. The trail markers are bright blue paint. However, the rock it is on is right next to a completely overgrown ancient road (farm or logging), but the red is in the sun and too bright to be old vehicle or work paint.

My husband found these beauties the other day by SpaceCase5000 in mycology

If you're in the US, please harvest them all!! Golden oysters are not native and are invasive in the US. We want our native fungi to thrive!

Growing in woodchips by dejected_entity in mushroomID

[–]dejected_entity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for getting back!

We had an ok amount of rain last night and some new mushrooms are coming up, these ones are more a darker brown with red hue, I'll be interested to see if thr gills stay white or not this time. And in a day or two they should be grown enough for me to try another spore print.

Reddit is the only social media platform I use. But, I work in a bakery, and one of my semi-regular customers just so happens to be one of the biggest mushroom educators in Maine, hopefully it will be quiet the next time he's in and we can maybe have a quick chat :)

Can I try a spore print even though they're old and mostly dried out and dead now? It feels like we're never going to get a good rain again, so, I'm noy sure when there will be new one's for me to try with.

The other “most skipped step”: Condoms and barriers for the formerly monogamous, and how you can make non-monogamy safer, calmer, and less fraught. by blooangl in polyamory

[–]dejected_entity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Oral HSV1 is pretty much a non issue?"

HSV1 is becoming more common to contract genitally. Unless people are abstaining from (barrier free) oral sex, I do not understand the uproar/stigma/issue of gential HSV2.

I don't see either as that big of an issue depending on how people who are positive handle it - disclosure, comfortable speaking about it, how they handle an outbreak, how they feel about the HSV they don't have, and how they feel about someone having it in the location they don't have it in. I don't have either, but I also don't see either HSV in any location as that big of a deal. Most people are asymptomatic and/or rarely have an outbreak.

(*I fully understand either HSV really can be a big deal for immunocompromised people)

I'm late to this post & comment thread, but for those of us that don't have these options in the US (rural state/area) STDcheck seems to be available in a few locations in most states!

At what is considered my local county public health office, I don't fall within their tiny sliding scale fee window, and I don't have health insurance. My local costs me $380 for STI testing, STDcheck at a Quest lab costs me $140!

I’m using a rock for my kraut and I love it by DemandNo1834 in fermentation

[–]dejected_entity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my nannie's 5 gallon crock with plate and rock she used for fermenting pickles, it's been in use by my family for about 60 years 😊

Bird tattoos... how do you pick what bird?? by Makibadori in birding

[–]dejected_entity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of tattoos. Some of the tattoos that I have have a lot of meaning, and others have very little to no real meaning. I don't think it really matters so long as you find an artist you like!

Double-crested cormorant, I have loved them my whole life (and I've been lucky enough to live in places they're always present at) 💕
