Probably human. 🤷‍♀️
Use every tool at your disposal to break through their cognitive dissonance about what is happening.

There's also a second ear piercing I did with a thumb tack and an eraser behind my earlobe in a nearly black out rage. After trying to slit my wrists and not succeeding. I don't wear an earring in it so it's less visible but it never healed over.

At 50, the first ones name is almost gone from being carved into my own wrist in a dissociative fugue state.

I sat there at dinner for a few weeks with a bloody name on my wrist, clearly visible. None of my family noticed, or cared if they did notice.

Now it's a line after 4 decades.

Hibiscus blooms inside under grow lights at the end of January.

(Rather peculiar side note in comments as it's not relevant to hibiscus, but utterly relevant to this post itself.)

He will try and fail to pry my stainless steel straws from my dead, lifeless fingers!

I love random turtles I will NEVER meet 100% more than that pestilent putrid pisspoor putz.

Yoinked this beauty as my last massive orchid went THROUGH it when I had a bad week (pain wise) and simply spaced watering it when the temperature outside dropped (therefore the heat inside turned on, drying out all the houseplants). I was so bummed I got myself this tiny beauty to help my heart.

Watching The Good Place and thinking the initial wall scene is perfect for putting backwards on your entrance way for introverts, so you see it as you leave your front door.

It asks the question as you leave, is this the good place? Or the bad place?
You'll find out. . . Out there!

Childhood in the 70's:
If you had a dictionary, thesaurus, and a set of encyclopedias, you nearly had the internet on paper.

My mom would ask, "WHY are 16 open books on the floor, stuffed with bookmarks?"

I was researching something- just like 50 open tabs on your Internet browser. 🤷‍♀️

Undecided on final positioning, but I'm quite pleased with the way I had laid the hibiscus to dry during pressing as it visually appears to have maintained a sense of depth despite being utterly flat.

The roses. . . Not yet. Still moving them about until I'm happy with it.

Oh! If they bother those plants with the leaves on top, chop up garlic to keep both squirrels and rabbits out.

I leave some unscented they are welcome to, so they have food, just not a free buffet. Lemon balm? Grows prolifically. Eat up!

My pansies and violas? They'll devour in one evening. 🤦‍♀️

#SundayYellow gardening of one of many varieties of orchids in my bathroom.

They surprised me by enjoying the cold northern window and blooming prolifically.

You may need a double later chicken wire cage to make it small enough that they cannot get through to dig but the sunlight can. The leaves are supported once they come up.

This pic is very fine mesh I opened as the bulbs came up, using the glass bits as weight, the metal edges to deter them.

A variation of what I eat for breakfast through lunch. The nuts change, the fruit changes, but it's a great way to start every single day.

Eventually I set it back in the fridge (too much food) and eat dinner.

I enjoy eating things as close to their natural state at possible.

Your clearly didn't take my advice.
You've replied to two comments and both included "Self righteous" and both sound like peak fragility.
My request was that you remove yourself. Clearly that was lost on you.

Foreign language learners, especially Mandarin, do you have a preferred way to learn?
I've gotten as much as I can from Busuu but it's lessons REALLY get weaker the farther I go on the app. Looking for another way.

Supposedly I'm 80% fluent but I'm absolutely not. It's frustrating!
