Dark feathers leave dark spots on the skin when plucked. And we like to see no reminders the thing had feathers 🫣

I don't have personal experience with this, but have heard some positive reviews of getting a virtual assistant to help with whatever can be done remotely.

What a weird lil' guy (compliment🥹)

Over the years, I've become increasingly convinced that the Democratic party establishment literally has no intention to win and govern. This is just more evidence to add to the stack.

Sigh. Public knowledge of winter squash varieties ain't what it used to be lol

oh nooo that one's a red kuri squash and they're tasty 😭😂

I have one that I grew from a friend's cutting. It only grew a little sprig of a vine like three years in a row and I thought it didn't have enough sun, but this year it was like I HAVE GROWN STRONG and now it's trying to take over my entire yard 😂

And I'm lucky - I'm financially stable, white, able-bodied (knock on wood), and not parenting or caretaking. What an absurd barrier to put up in front of an artist facing any combination of additional challenges by slapping an arbitrary age limit on resources.

Serious question: Have you ever held a tarantula? Bc that was what (~95%) cured me of hating spiders, ironically 😆
It seems like it's going to be terrifying and gross then it is SO. FRIGGIN. COOL. Highly recommend.

They call them June beetles where I live and they usually have a giant mating swarm on my lawn a couple days a year. :) My mom was visiting when it happened this summer. I came back in from the porch and announced "it's June beetle mating day!" 🙌 and she's like "okay...". Not everybody gets it 😆

Ooh! Is it a wooly maple aphid? Those are my fave tiny floating fae creatures.

This isn't "battling homelessness," this is battling homeless people...

The WNC town where I live has seen a "500 year" flood and a "1000 year" flood within three years. People living in flood prone regions and those responsible for public safety in those places need to expect the unexpected, not assume that the next flood will just be like all the others.
