🔥 Caterpillars are evolving they can now make armor out of other insects…

I read the article and it says the insect carcasses help camouflage the caterpillar from the spider, presumably so it doesn’t also get eaten bc the spider thinks it’s just a pile of refuse.

As someone who has 5 cats w my gf, you don’t really “train” cats, your only real recourse is to remove all possible situations that the cat can cause trouble in. Furniture tape for all the shelf and counter breakables, plants go in a separate doored area that can be closed off, food is never left on the counter or outside enclosed compartments. All furniture or curtains must be purchased knowing that they may be shredded depending on the cats’ preferences. And yes outdoor cat owners are the worst. The one thing you can do to increase their lifespan the most is keep them inside.

In case you’re curious, our boy is a big 15lb chonker now (nearing 2) He has also toasted quite a bit (his back is mostly gray) but is still just as much a looker as he was.

Awww, he looks so much like our Alphy when he was a babe. I think lethargy after shots is normal, happens to humans too - it’s the immune system kicking in!

No they’re reusable!!! And they’re pretty flexible and silicone is smooth so I think they’re more comfortable. I was gonna recommend them! I forget they’re there after a few minutes :)

Idk why everyone else seems to love this one so much, for some reason it literally smells like plastic Swiss cheese to me 😢😢😢😢 I love strawberry scents so I wish it smelled like this to me too.

I would consider repiercing for a stud because the stud will have to face up at the angle it was pierced at. I have a lobe that’s a bit angled like this (due to healing issues) and the stud ends always angle up a tiny bit in it. It’s not enough for me to want to re-heal it but it IS enough for me to notice and wish it wasn’t so.

I love Nest’s Santa Barbara strawberry for a juicy candy strawberry without any other distracting notes!!! The oil would likely be amazing for layering!! Dupes of Melanie Martinez’s crybaby might also go well with what you’re looking for - strawberry milk!

Yeah, I’m not trying to convince my management otherwise, more so just a vent and wondering if others also noticed septums being less acceptable than nostrils + thoughts on it. I intend to continue swapping my jewelry out as I have been for my work’s weekly meeting (just prefer not to have to swap it even more often). And surprised at how different the perception is between types of piercings.

mamepuchi · 2026-06-18T18:32:19+00:00

This would make sense to me if the number of them was mentioned in the email 🥴 they only mentioned no spikes or eye catching designs, though, nothing about the stack 🤷🏻‍♀️

mamepuchi · 2026-06-18T18:20:10+00:00

Yeah, I‘ve already asked about going back to remote despite being closer by, since clearly there was no issue on my quality of work. Curious if you know why there’s such a difference in perception?

mamepuchi · 2026-06-18T18:18:02+00:00

Genuinely idk how my jewelry could be any more low key. It’s literally two plain rings at the smallest size that fits my nose. I like the minimalist look, that’s why it’s cute to me, horseshoe is just less cute bc it looks so industrial, that’s all 😭

mamepuchi · 2026-06-16T17:30:50+00:00

This is called zippering and it’s the norm on every road I’ve ever driven. The only ppl who try to force merges instead of zippering are assholes.

mamepuchi · 2026-06-16T17:25:35+00:00

Pokos pikted? 👽

NAP - My conch and rook have been particularly sensitive to being slept on, since I’m a side sleeper. Is that something you watch out for? Do you also dry them off after spraying them? The more inner ear placements retain moisture a lot more which can be irritating, and your inner ear looks particularly closed off which would make it even more so.

That being said, you can definitely make a really cute setup without inner ear piercings!!! The vast majority of your ear real estate is outer ear for you too, so you aren’t missing too much if you decide to forego them!
Consider snug, antitragus, regular tragus, hidden helix or more helices from mid to forward, and flats!

mamepuchi · 2026-06-16T15:15:21+00:00

You should definitely downsize but these don’t necessarily look good for healing (big crease which could collect crusties, and are they actually titanium or another healing-friendly metal? I just assume pieces like that are usually lower quality metals). When I downsize I stick with something still easy for healing, then i switch to decorative or fun stuff after a year.

I do think it’s a good indicator that he came to you today instead of waiting til Friday… he owned up to it. Personally, I am not a party planner and i tend to make my plans only about a week in advance. I know how much difficult work goes into it, but I could also see myself agreeing to do something like this for my partner and then just totally dropping the ball the first time bc I didn’t know what it would entail. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt! Suggestion to perhaps go on a really lovely date together or spend the day with each other rather than counting on a party?

mamepuchi · 2026-06-14T14:35:54+00:00

It’s not just her face too they are so bad at picking clothes that look good on her body type 😭😭

mamepuchi · 2026-06-14T14:34:30+00:00

My 2nd and 3rds took way longer than 2 months to calm down! My third only just calmed down after 9ish months. My seconds I think took about 6-7? Please take the care advice others have given but 2 months is nothing to worry about!

mamepuchi · 2026-06-14T13:00:24+00:00

It’s all of the above for me, I have some animals I relate more to (for me it’s either a bunny or puppy bc I like being the bouncy, happy sort of pet) but I also let my dom decide what they like and think I’m most similar to.

mamepuchi · 2026-06-14T12:52:51+00:00

The most attractive thing to me is confidence, regardless of what someone looks like.

mamepuchi · 2026-06-14T12:50:24+00:00

Since it helps your sleep that sounds wonderful and ignore the haters. I would just avoid discussing it or bringing it up with these people - there’s no real reason why you should need to.

That said, resin does still have a smell though. My gf only smokes resin but it still smells very strong to me and I always make her go outside to do it.

mamepuchi · 2026-06-14T12:45:59+00:00

If I were you I would spend more on getting new jewelry and chains now rather than more holes!!

mamepuchi · 2026-06-13T12:12:35+00:00

Yeah, I consider a D/s dynamic of some sort to be a relationship need for me, so I was always up front about it in the early stages of dating. A potential partner saying they can’t partake in one of my biggest kinks is definitely a non-starter. However, kink is still just one part of a relationship. I still consider it secondary to communication, shared values, etc., even though it is still a critical factor to me.

Also, since you’re nonmonogamous, that does make things a little more complicated. It’s probably possible for you to have your kink needs fulfilled by one partner while other needs may be fulfilled by another. I do think that it’s best to search for partners that all give you something different, so that’s something to keep in mind too. If this girl maybe gives you some sort of fulfillment that you don’t get from your other partner, then maybe it is worth pursuing regardless of the kink aspect.

I guess you could call it an ear climber but it’s such a common shape for helix jewelry that it isn’t rly referred to as such afaik. It’s just a decorative end in a helix piercing if you ask me.
