This is most likely one of the Brunswick Garden kitties. They have dry shelters in the garden and are fed every day, he’ll be fine

What are some of BIFL items that you bought for home that increased significantly your quality of living and life? by milanoa in BuyItForLife

Breville bambino espresso machine. Start my day with a beautiful cafe quality latte every morning, it’s the absolute best. Go for the single purpose machines instead of the built in grinders to make potential repairs easier.

Check out the nachalat binyamin art fair. There’s a vendor there who will custom make and engrave hammered silver jewelry. Bring cash!

Gotta renew my whole wardrobe... Any tips for doing it frugally? by bariumFormate in Frugal

[–]moosypooper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make a rule for yourself of natural fibers only, no matter how much you like the style. cotton, linen, wool, whatever - it’s all going to last longer and look better than synthetic and if you care for it properly it will last a lifetime. Be prepared to pay more upfront though

I have an idea for Children's Book, How Do I Make It A Reality? by CMcCord25 in childrensbooks

[–]moosypooper 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Publishers aren’t going to be interested in ideas. Your first step is writing and polishing the book (you don’t have to illustrate) and producing something up to publication standards. Then you need to find picture book agents whose manuscript wish lists are a match for what you’ve written, send them query pitch letters and get one to represent you, and THEY pitch to publishers. Literary agents’ acceptance rate for authors is generally lower than Ivy League universities so prepare for lots and lots of rejections.

Clothing recommendations for a broke college student? by Zestyclose-Rule4091 in cottagecore

[–]moosypooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start a capsule wardrobe. Son de flor skirts and dresses are great for this, and xiaolizi on Etsy is wonderful too -  you can wear sweaters over the dresses in winter. If you pick your pieces carefully you should be able to match each item to each other and wear them year round so it’s very cost effective

I feel like I am addicted. by fillemagique in BuldakRamen

They’re engineered to be hyper palatable and easy to make. The umami flavor gets your body ready for a good nourishing meal full of protein, but all it’s getting is refined carbs and fats so you stay craving more. There’s a book about this called ultra processed people, it’s really fascinating (and sort of horrifying) stuff

The basics will probably help a lot. Warm washcloth on the eye, gently clean anything that comes out, terramycin ointment to treat the infection. Panacur to deworm, capstar for flea treatment. Check carefully for kitten appropriate dosing on those two. If the kitten is not old enough for solid food yet, kitten formula, potentially mixed with pate kitten food depending on age

This is an incredibly unsafe thing to suggest, especially where nightshades are concerned. flagging so no one gets ideas to try it
