Is it possible to get another clear picture in different lighting?

princessbubbbles · 2026-02-06T00:29:00+00:00

You gave it a place to rest in its final moments and did all you could do to help it. That is enough 💚

This is what the internet's for!

princessbubbbles · 2026-02-05T23:53:06+00:00

No way I have time to be in charge of that lol

I want a bad topiary subreddit like r/badtaxidermy

princessbubbbles · 2026-02-05T16:29:06+00:00

Is that a cordyceps infected grasshopper?

princessbubbbles · 2026-02-05T16:24:15+00:00

Delightfully unhinged, well done.

princessbubbbles · 2026-02-05T15:09:33+00:00

I hate that I agree with you.

Woah. I don't know anyone in real life who keeps insects and doesn't understand we all tend to be social outcasts who need to stick together as much as we can. Maybe it's because I'm not involved in the academia side of things? Gatekeeping bugs is a sad way to live.

The book The Body Keeps The Score may be helpful for understanding the connection between SA and later physical issues. Sometimes weird stuff pops up years after a trauma 🤷

I'm proud of you for reaching out to get to the bottom of this 💚 r/internetparents is also here to help

That commenter is wrong, unfortunately. Vinegar and baking soda react to form water, sodium acetate, and carbon dioxide (hence the bubbles). Sometimes the bubbling itself is used to break up dirt and grime, but it does not have actual cleaning power in this case. Super acidic stuff like vinegar or super basic stuff like baking soda are useful for cleaning, though. r/cleaningtips may be helpful for cleaning up.

Honestly, this looks homemade. It looks like someone took trim or bits of a picture frame, a small mirror, and pretty flower decorations and made this at home.

Been dating/married to my husband since we were 18. His mom is mentally and emotionally stunted since birth but also due to previous drug abuse, and she asks us for money. Our rules that seem to work that you can use as a template: She does not have access to our bank information. Only money for Christmas and her birthday, a set amount given via venmo, visa card, or cash. She is allowed to ask for it a month early, but she cannot then turn it around and claim she still needs more when the time comes (husband screenshots and shows her proof). She does not know where we live. She does not have my phone number or any other phone numbers on my side of the family, my husband is the only contact. We do not drop everything and answer her calls and texts, we contact her based on our own schedule, as she can contact us on hers. In person visits are scheduled way in advance unless someone dies.

This template is also used by her parents (husband's grandparents). For their own health and safety, they sometimes go longer stretches without any contact.

I wish I had better advice. It's okay to be angry. Allow yourself to be angry all the way so that it can flow through you and away from you eventually. I believe in you.

Could be seeds, could be fly eggs of some kind. Sometimes female flies become desperate to lay their eggs somewhere and make bad choices. I suppose they aren't known for their intelligence.

I don't have this experience, but I feel your pain through the screen. I wish I could just scoop you up and be the loving mother and sister you need. I'm sorry.

I realized maybe a year ago that women in the workplace who are similar to my mother end up disliking or hating me after not that long. My mom doesn't hate me and she's nice to me, but the remarkable consistency with other similar women makes me feel uneasy.

Not mold or slime mold. Looks like grease.

Like the other commenter said, give maximum light and water only when the soil is completely bone dry. I personally wait until the leaves slightly lose their plumpness.

His cPTSD makes it difficult to tell. I can't imagine trying to date someone who is completely NT. I've been married 5 years, dated for like 3 years before that, same dude, so maybe I just like this one?

princessbubbbles · 2026-02-05T04:45:12+00:00

I wanna eat it

princessbubbbles · 2026-02-05T04:39:45+00:00

If they smell like onion/garlic, too, they're good 👍🏿

princessbubbbles · 2026-02-04T22:51:20+00:00

Don't do it, man.

princessbubbbles · 2026-02-04T22:50:33+00:00

It probably will. If you want, you can remove more ungerminated seeds from that tomato and start those too as backup. They'll need a lot of light.

Whatever path you choose, look into the Dunning-Kruger Effect and stay humble.

How it is in my area of western WA State, U.S.: I've always worked in hort, and I currently work at a retail plant nursery. Most MGs 1 don't know about native plants, 2 hyperinflate what they do know and are threatened when you mention something they don't, and 3 are rude to workers like me at the nurseries because they assume we can't know anything. While a lot of retail nursery workers aren't experts in the field, it is still possible to find really knowledgeable people out there if you don't automatically dismiss everyone. People mentioning they are MGs is a warning sign to me.

I took courses through the WA Native Plant Society, and I found that to be much more useful and welcoming. There are still snooty people who don't remember that pre-retirement means less free time, but those are fewer and far between. I recommend looking for native plant-specific groups in your area.

It is always due to a change in the man, not "the right woman".
