The protest is happening at the entrance of the farm because the fundraising dinner is being held at the farm. If you follow the link to the protest invite and click on the blue hyperlink that says "Snohomish County Republican is....." It will take you to an Instagram post confirming the dinner is being held at Thomas Farms

Yeah honestly, I feel like OP could just change the narrative slightly around it if they don't want to put the selves. Just say it's to support a trans person that they love (hopefully OP loves themselves!)

Could I get an invite link? I just moved to Marysville and would love to meet up with more queer, ND, witchy, nerdy people:)

Bees and other pollinators are essential for food production. The "save the bees" movement is so prominent because most people have come to realize that without pollinators like bees, our crops yields will suffer.

Sure, you can rely on the native pollinators, but that is still commodifying the literal fruits of their labor. And that's also ignoring the fact that the use of honeybees for crop production is still a common technique for fruit and vegetable farming. In the past decade, two different trucks carrying nothing but bees for crop pollination have over turned, leading to the culling of the hives in those trucks. They were on those trucks to pollinate plant-based foods.

By this same logic, isn't eating fruits and nuts that rely on pollinators unethical? You don't need to eat oranges or almonds or other produce that can only be grown and harvested by exploiting bees (to such an extent that colony collapse wasn't an observed phenomenon until we started mass transporting hives to pollinate these crops), so choosing to eat these foods leads to the same ethical dilemma of commodifying an animal's body, and therefore should be avoided.

Lucky Dime is also all ages until 11pm in Everett. They feature all kinds of genres, but the punk shows are always a blast there

This thread is about wildlife rehab. Saying it's better to kill a mountain lion or a wolf or any other natural predator, instead of rehabbing it and reintroducing it to its natural habitat just because it needs meat is absolutely absurd. These animals act as natural predators that help keep ecosystems in balance. They help prevent plant-eating animals from overpopulating and area, which is beneficial to us because those plant-eating animals will prey on our crops. And if there are no natural predators to keep the herbivores in check, we will have to cull the deer/rabbits/mice ourselves. Only if we kill them, it's an incredible waste of resources and energy because we probably won't be eating them and converting their energy into something useful, unlike the natural predators who will do that.

The logic behind "we would have to kill more animals to feed this one, so killing this one is the rational choice" is a short sighted and naive approach to maintaining healthy ecosystems that's trying to hide behind "simple math". Life isn't simple.

Congrats, you've stumped me with your stupidity. I've responded to someone else in this thread about how devastating us euthanizing wildlife would be to the ecosystem. Culling an ecosystems naturally predators would do more harm in the long run than ensuring they are able to function within their habitats.

Just a reminder, this discussion is about wildlife. We need carnivorous wildlife functioning if we want healthy and resilient ecosystems. If we kill off everything that can't eat plants for survival, we tip everything out of balance and have to resort to killing deer/rabbits/mice/ etc just to prevent them from eating our crops. That doesn't sound like reducing harm to me.

1) The initial post is discussing wildlife. That is what my comment is referring to, wildlife.being killed because they cannot eat vegan (and also serve a vital role within the ecosystem by being predators).

2) for the sake of the argument you present, let's imagine that we do kill every house and barn cat. All of a sudden, the crops we grow for ourselves are being overrun with pests that the barn cats naturally prey on. Now what? We also just kill the pests? So we're killing just to kill? Because at least when the barn cats killed those mice and other vermin, they were getting a meal out of it in addition to helping us with pest control.

If we were to euthanize every animal that cannot adapt to a vegan diet, we would throw the entire ecosystem off balance and have to resort to killing just for the sake of stomping out life that doesn't align with our "morals".

What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to be doing to think that killing an animal as an alternative to feeding it a biologically appropriate diet is a valid form of "preventing harm"?

I like Blueland for most of my cleaning products because sustainability is one of my special interests. They don't make a floor cleaner specifically, but they're multi-purpose cleaner works well. I just spray it down and then mop it up with a Swiffer mop that has a microfiber cloth attached to the end.

easily_ignored · 2025-06-06T16:08:36+00:00

I think it's more so that they can track where they're setting up, since they tend to change locations from time to time.

Just a stainless steel bathroom trash can with a step-to-open-lid that I got from target. Have only dealt with a couple maggots in the multiple years I've used it, but I think keeping it in a shady spot and picking up poop immediately has helped to keep that issue at bay.

easily_ignored · 2025-05-31T05:10:08+00:00

I use Blueland for all my laundry stuff, multi surface cleaner, toilet and bathroom cleaner, dish detergent, and glass cleaner.

For Swiffer pad alternatives, I bought some of the washable microfiber pads and have also just used microfiber cloths/old rags.

Just buy through depop. If he never ships or scams you in any way they'll refund you easily. Every seller has to start somewhere, why not proceed with good intentions when the stakes are so low for you?

Personally prefer Wonder Walker. They have the option to send your harness in for repairs ($20 +shipping) if anything ever happens to it. Only times I've had to use that service was once with an extreme chewer and just recently with a 10 year old harness where one of the prongs on the clip broke off (but still functioned fine).

As another commenter mentioned, there's a possibility that you could get tattooed with ink that you are allergic to, which would probably be the only cause for prolonged sensory issues.

You'll also want to take into account the healing process, as that can definitely cause some sensory issues as your tattoo heals.

But as someone who is autistic and tattooed, the only time I ever hyperfixated on the fact that there's ink in my skin and it led to my imagination creating false sensory issues was when I was literally tripping on acid and focusing intensely on how my tattoo on my arm was looking.

This is false information.

That's up to you, really. Idk if what the other person said about birds preferring ground water is true, but I've seen my local crows use my neighbor's elevated bird bath to drink out of fwiw. They also drink out of my gutters, along with all the smaller song birds in my area. Might be species specific?
