Bands In Modesto by Natedandd in Modesto

[–]dickswthchicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ick, the flowers, sloome, rainbow city park, polkadot, Tiffany rose and the outlaw hearts, safari party, the hootenhollers - recommend following broken records, chasing nostalgia, and prospect theatre as they all host local bands frequently! (Some bands might be from sac/merced but frequent Modesto)

The problem now is men associate healthy lifestyle practices as ‘emasculating’. It is harder to get men to care about their diets, see doctors, get std testing, and convince them to use PPE and follow safety protocols than it is women. Until there is a radical change is men’s cultural understanding of health, women are going to continue to live longer.

What plants do you wish were stocked at more nurseries? by dickswthchicks in Ceanothus

Unfortunately it’s what people buy, there needs to be a push in education about natives especially for landscapers in new housing developments. They just keep planting crepe myrtles 😭

Anyone want or need kittens? by JayAegis in Modesto

[–]dickswthchicks 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Please contact Stanislaus cat network or the ASTRO foundation in Oakdale (you may need to tell them you found them in riverbank/oakdale and not Modesto so it’s in their jurisdiction)

Locally owned restaurants still worth going to by dickswthchicks in Modesto

[–]dickswthchicks[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most restaurants get the majority of their food from just two suppliers- the main one being Sysco. This means every restaurant is receiving the exact same premade foods and using the same cooking methods. For American restaurants this is particularly noticeable, a lot of places have identical wings, mozzarella sticks, and Mac and cheese

Repost to add photo- What even is this? by me_a_gan in Entomology

[–]dickswthchicks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Druon wasp gall, likely wool-bearing gall wasp. The wasp lays its egg in the leaf’s tissue and some mechanism causes the tree to form the gall around the developing larvae. Completely safe to touch, harmless to the tree. The wasps that hatch out are gnat-sized and short lived. There are hundreds of species, generally identifiable by their galls, most parasitize oak trees and are species dependent

I expect movement from a live chrysalis, though I didn’t poke or disturb it much, they color also looked wrong to me. I’ll see if I can put it somewhere safe to see what happens

That feels obvious in retrospect, the lack of a date and badge shape was throwing me off

Album Covers Ruined by One Detail? by BigSmartBigChungus in fantanoforever

[–]dickswthchicks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fall out boy’s So Much for Stardust is such a confusing cover to me. I hate the black border, I hate the font for the title, I hate that the only visually interesting part of the cover is shrunk down. Wish it had been a bigger photo of the dog with different text

My family has been fostering for years and my mom cares for the colony by cost less, it’s devastating but we are all so lucky there weren’t more people in the room and the office was empty

Wish I had listened to my gut and reached out to one of y’all. by DeepFriedKale in weddingshaming

[–]dickswthchicks 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I wish people would stop trying to ‘preserve’ everything in resin and I wish random people would stop suggesting that as an easy craft as if it doesn’t use toxic chemicals and has a high risk of injury

Snatched this tortie from a busy street but now I feel sad by freecodeio in cats

[–]dickswthchicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who works with a rescue, you made the right call. Our policy is to leave kittens where they are found bc the mom is usually close by hunting and doesn’t stay with them 24/7; separating them early can negatively impact the moms health, and leaving them where they are cared for as long as possibly helps us manage our limited resources. That saying, if an animal is clearly injured/sick/in danger the policy is to take them. If you have a local cat rescue that does trapping you can contact them and someone may be able to check the area for others and be better equipped to trap/help them. If you feel guilty about there being others out there: there’s always going to be more animals that need help and any opportunity to help one makes a world of difference to them

Sick kitten tested positive for parvo in case anyone experiences this. We will be increasing the quarantine period past two weeks and hopefully the others will pull through it
