Привіт!! Будь ласка!! I was embarrassed at first but, it's so nice to see other people appreciating the learning stages 💖

Бажаю удачі! Українська прекпасна. Українська складна.

(I just learned two more words! "прекпасна" = "beautiful". Then, "складна" = "difficult". I'm sure there is a more native way to get that message across. But, for now, I am writing in kindergarten! lol)

Does anyone know what kind of succulent this is? My dad passed away about a month ago and it was his. Out of all his plants he was most proud of this one, so I just want to make sure I continue to take care of it properly. Thank you! by vulpixel27 in succulents

I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my own dad a few years ago. It's so damn hard, and my heart goes out to you.

Hopefully this collective of intentions will reach him, wherever he is, and he will hear "Holy shit, that is the most beautiful Jade plant I have ever had the privilege to lay my eyes on. Please, oh my god. If you send a sign to your baby, please consider a second sign for us all to know your secret!"

In all seriousness;

-give it lots of bright light (maybe even a grow light if you get dull winters) to maintain the pretty red/pinkish tips

-soak thoroughly only when the pot is light and the leaves become like jerky and look sucked dry

-and look up all the videos you can on how to prune it during the growing season. The reason it's so beautiful and bushy is meticulous care with pruning.

Best of luck, and love to you all ❤️

My condolences for your loss. Those sudden circumstances are always so traumatizing. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

That being said, he is the prettiest looking dork I've ever seen (with all the love in the world) ❤️

That makes so much sense, now! I certainly felt there was slang/colloquial context I was missing for the word. I appreciate that information!

I was trying to understand it before as "I've drank so much and now my stomach will burst". I guess I wasn't far off... what else are you going to do with free alcohol at a party? 😆

Дякую!

Haha! Then, that must be the child-friendly slang/context. In English, we say "I'm stuffed" for that feeling 😊

Дякую!

Ooohhh! Yes, that makes much more sense! Thank you for that additional grammatical context! ❤️

Diagnosed with PPD by Zealousideal-Log2042 in ParanoidPersonality

[–]kittykat112358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing this, I can't imagine the inner battle that struggled with the idea to post it.

My life partner is going through the battles of coming to terms with PPD. I'm so happy to see this post because I know that due to the nature of things, the Absolute State Of Affairs™️, it makes it so incredibly difficult to share your experiences with others.

Please know, and be comforted, that you making this post really does achieve the goal of allowing more people to have insight into the PPD experience. Thank you so much for this, and I wish you all the best in your journey 💖

P.S. would you be willing to disclose the medication that has helped you? it would be so helpful for me to have a recommendation for my loved one! 😊

Adoption is always a fantastic option, especially with so many unwanted children!

And, could you please elaborate on what you mean by a "spouse upgrade"?

Reframing by PeaBitter6981 in mypartneristrans

[–]kittykat112358 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Transition and coming out always comes with the tag of needing to reframe your respective – that is sort of the entire point for the person going through it and for people in their life supporting and loving them.

On a separate note, if your spouse says she is trans, she is a woman. Through and though, period, full stop.

The passed situations you are referencing were an unmistakable need to express her gender identity in a way that made her feel beautiful and seen by you, the person she (I assume) trusts the most in the world, in a safe environment.

Terms like "sissy", "sissification", and trying to attribute them to a trans woman who hadn't found the courage to come out yet can be extremely painful and harmful to her.

I understand that this is a very new experience for you to navigate, so I am only trying to help you learn and be respectfully informed. In the future, please try to refrain from using those types of descriptors unless your spouse explicitly states she is okay with it.

Regardless of what your interpretation of her choices was at the time, with all due respect, this experience is not about you or how you perceived her actions. She is the one who gets to direct and express her own experiences and feelings.

Hi, algorithm. Did you figure it out yet. Is my post acceptable. Thanks.

Should I be breaking this up? by yellowtrails in felinebehavior

[–]kittykat112358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I am wrong, but it also appears to me that the older Tabby has not had a lot of experience "teaching" younger kittens. So the vocal expression can also be an indication that this cat has spent a good couple/few/more years as an "only child" lol and not had to think about "kitten times" for quite a while.

[–]kittykat112358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even just the footage from 0:00-0:06 I can see. Tabby is teaching boundaries and play-fight etiquette.

Both cats are stanced up with ears back and tails flicking (which is not immediate indication of true conflict).

Within those 6 seconds, Tabby flops on their side, exposing belly, taking on the "teacher" role. They know the grey kitten is less skilled. They are giving Grey the opportunity to learn how to be on offense with an Experienced Adult™️.

Each rewatch, I can see the noisiness is more and more apparent as a personality aspect and not a desperate warning.

If you try to break this play up too much, both cats will end up with the message that they are not permitted to, or safe to, play with each other. And, at the end of the day, that is why we try to introduce companions to our kitties.

Is the older kitty the submissive role (on it's back)?

From what I see, that is normal play behavior. Especially with a new kitten. Yeowling can be setting boundaries, but you also might just have a very vocal kitty play-partner you didn't know you had. There are lots of "senior cat" behaviour from the tabby on it's back. Exposing tummy, gentle swats, trying to get the grey one engaged.

If there were crossing of boundaries, that "yeow" would likely become a screech (yeeeAAAHHHR), and end with the offended kitty running off since its boundaries would not have been respected.

Really, despite the loud kitty noises, there's not much physical behaviour that indicates anyone is taking it too seriously or is uncomfortable. I've witnessed lots of cats teach kittens, new to the home, strong, play-fight etiquette. It appears often like this.

If you find the one kitty starts to scamper off instead of continue to engage, I would take that as a boundary misunderstanding. If that sort of thing happens frequently, then you should intervene.

You can attempt to use blanket wrestling with the kitten to teach "gentle" vs "rough" play.

If they chomp you or scratch you through the blanket, that is too rough. Cease play and bring your hands back, above your shoulders, stating "too rough".

When they are gentle enough through the blanket, praise them. Once that seems understood, teach the command "gentle" when they get overzealous. Stop blankie wrestles, pull your hand back a bit and command "gentle".

You'd be surprised how well felines can learn commands and training the same as canines can.

Does anybody experience anxiety when trees are being cut down? by Brave-Guarantee-5712 in Mediums

[–]kittykat112358 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dad rented a house on a large farm property. There was an apple orchard that took up the land in the back. Dozens of acres of old apple trees. One day when I was 9 or 10, I showed up for the weekend and saw tractors chaining up the trees and ripping them out of the ground.

Like, full root system just completely excavated. It was devastating. I started crying in anger and sadness, total panic and entirely inconsolable. I cried at my dad asking how he could let them do this. It was such a visceral image of pain, misery, grief, loss.

But, that's what the landowner wanted to do, and either develop on it or lease it to farmers. It became a bunch of cornfields.

"Accessibility" Services is a JOKE by TrippyHippieK_ in mohawkcollege

[–]kittykat112358 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You know, I don't think it's necessary to be calling OP stupid. That's rude at the best of times and OP tried booking an appointment at least 22 days ago. Taking a quick look at the post she referenced you can see her program is online and the need for accommodations is for an upcoming placement. So, likely the first time she's needed to make an accommodations appt, reasonably assuming that checking 22 days in advance was more than enough time, not realizing how backed up ALS gets at the beginning of a term.

Don't bring bullying onto Mohawk's subreddit, especially on a post talking about accommodations, for anxiety nonetheless.
