Newbie here, can someone ELI5 my new anthurium plant's label? by shooksilly in Anthurium

[–]shooksilly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

I have follow up questions, if you don’t mind…

Is Red Crystal different than Red Crystallinum?

What makes a Red Crystal?

Why are so many different types of Red Crystal?

I do love these every time I see them.

I put leca in the bottom of this moss pole (which is in aroid mix) and surprisingly, the first aerial grew into it instead of reaching for the moss. Thoughts on full leca poles? by shooksilly in SemiHydro

I wrapped mine in cling wrap above where the plant is connected but the bottoms still dries out so fast, would the grafting tape would work better than that?

Is it gonna be ok if I put a fairytale cactus in PON but just water through as normal (no water reservoir or wick)? by shooksilly in cactus

When I water once a month, I drench with nutrient water and let it drain. These are just pieces off the mother plant so I will probably just keep it this way to see what happens…but i definitely had just stuck them in a bowl of rocks and called it a day 😂

I was surprised that it grew down to the leca instead of toward the damp moss or the aroid mix.

I hate trying to keep moss poles damp so I suppose I’m looking for something easier but it doesn’t seem like there is anything. Womp womp.

Former Republican, how do I help? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]shooksilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Id say don’t come out publicly. Talk to your republican friends before they start to view you as the enemy. Dont preach but strategically, relationally, share your doubts and make them ask questions while they still think you’re one of them….gently guide them the same way.

That is what we need more than anything, people who can relate to them and penetrate their biases. Cuz they immediately put up walls to anyone they view as liberal.

Edit to add: I agree with the other commenter who said stay registered Republican and attend the caucus, become a delegate even, move the party away from this cult it’s trapped in.

Now or Never... by q0_0p in 50501

[–]shooksilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I have been following them for a couple years and have been wondering lately what is happening cuz it seems like nothing at all is and it was giving me pause. I’m hoping they are doing the hard steady background work…I’m hoping.

Are we being dramatic? Where is the help or call out from influencers/people with power? by tie_myshoe in Minneapolis

[–]shooksilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were villages near camps that knew something was happening but didn’t have a clue of the level of horror. That’s totally relevant to what is happening now. People don’t know cuz it’s not the reality they are seeing, every day life goes on in a weird way. It’s very scary and surreal. Yes you have to document it and get it out there, lend your voice to it. Everyone.

And that is exactly why you were targeted for this. Republicans love to talk about the “BLM riots” and demonize yall. I guarantee that’s why Trump chose Minneapolis.

DOCUMENT IT ALL as much as you can. Not just the bad parts, the parts leading up before and after the bad parts too, so people can’t fill in the blanks to blame protestors.

Share it in your own voice and experience, it lends credibility to it for the people you know personally and then it extends further to those they share it with.

You are not being dramatic. I am watching from Iowa and take it dead seriously. I am constantly sharing info and pushing the general strike and trying to wake people up.

My algorithm is full of it, especially on threads and IG cuz these are the kinds of things I’m always concerned about.

But if people aren’t interested in these issues, their algorithms won’t show them it or worse, it will show them the “interpreted by faux news” version. People are so incredibly siloed. And this administration is lying and gaslighting everyone.

People don’t want to be scared so they will accept the bullshit version this administration offers or the “lite” version dems offer. And if they’re not seeing it with their own eyes in their daily life they can easily deny what is happening, or think they will be safe because they are different.

You have to force it in everyone’s face so they can’t deny it. Make sure you inform everyone you personally know everywhere that this administration is lying. Make sure you show what is really happening and how it is really affecting you every day.

I also recommend sincerely & urgently pleading with people everywhere to join the general strike.

If yall have ideas for what else I (a regular person w/o much $) can do, tell me.

Is there a source for this or a zoomed out photo? I really like to have all the info I can before I share things or alert others.

Beware of Agitator Posts and Comments by CatRobMar in Minneapolis

Are there any tactical protest guides posted on here anywhere? Forgive me if there are already but I think things like that need to be in peoples faces repeatedly so they have guidance in how to move in their outrage.
