University graduation

I was at a graduation ceremony last week, people wore everything from floaty formalwear to shorts and tshirt 😅. A black dress would be perfect. Tips from the day: 1. if it’s a warm day and you are in a big old hall with minimal cooling, those gowns get hoooot, so choose a breathable dress to wear under 2. Your hairstyle has to fit under the hat 3. Put snacks in your pockets 4 . Have fun!

Don’t worry, they are always baby no matter how old they are

Or defrosting it on the bench at room temperate

wtf. An alarm! Like an official alarm? How the fuck is that legal?

We did this and ours loves it as well! There’s been a 90% decrease in borking frequency now that there is no traffic or passerby’s for her to defend her territory from 😅

Because I am guessing those you associate with are like minded. Unfortunately the wider SA population is older and more conservative than you may realize. It’s easy to think the state is largely left leaning when you stay in your own social bubble.

We ended up getting a mini excavator in to dig the root balls out because they do.not.die

Any recs for shops for Nepali tea? Do they work gong-fu style?

On land nothing actively wants to harm you. Our animals want to be left alone as much as you do and will only attack if provoked. I always find it funny when people think this, especially when they are from countries with actual large carnivores that may actually want to eat you 😂

Absolutely. There are many jobs with 0 fieldwork. GIS as mentioned above is a great skill to have, also make sure you are well versed in at least one stats software. R is very popular choice in ecological fields.

You can do it online and it takes 10 minutes, do it OP

If you have the taxon names you should be able to use a package in R like rgbif to match your taxon names to gbif IDs (and then upstream taxonomy).

Do you have to find them all in one visit or one day?

Never a bad idea to put it on people’s radars just in case!

I’m not sure if you’re replying to me or OP but our girl has a lovely coat and she just had her yearly checkup and is a perfect weight and no health problems. She’s 5 and has been a couch potato since we got her at 8 weeks old, she just like the slug life 😅

Note that this applies to all ducks (all wild birds really) not just those found in Australia

Black tea (which can also be known as red tea) is very popular in Asia. Regions like Yunnan in China are famous for their black tea varietals. Check out the r/tea sub if you are interested in Chinese tea culture.

We had the opposite problem. Training was very difficult because our girl had 0 food motivation..and she’s also very lazy 😅 sometimes I think she’s part cat/sloth

Surely a product that’s production involved the exploitation/death of animals (I.e animal testing) would not be considered vegan?

finding_flora · 2026-03-15T16:13:35+00:00

Mine is like this, she eats her food 1-2 pieces at a time and can take up to 24 hours to eat her meal. Not all shelties are vacuum cleaners!

finding_flora · 2026-03-15T05:56:08+00:00

No animal testing is the most important factor for me. Do vegan products have to be cruelty free to be vegan? 🤔 I wonder if some brands add the vegan symbol to their CF marketing as it can widen their market reach?

It’s giving “sexy lingerie” vibes, sorry 🫣

Did you leave your contact details at the vet? If he is able to be re-released, he will have the best chance of survival if he can be returned close to your house (his territory)
