I hope that you have some people in your life that you can get support from. Please don't let mysoginists undermine or gaslight you to think that you don't matter. Wishing you well, OP.

You have an excellent new supervisor.

Repeating fungus gnats as the answer. I use a few strategies to manage them:

  • yellow "sticky strips" (can be purchased at garden stores and Amazon) that you stick into the pot. They're ugly, but the flies love them.
  • dish soap bath for plants that can handle it (the blue Dawn extra strong soap is best).
  • bottom watering, or letting the top of the soil dry out between waterings

Humid environments require lighter watering. You might want to get a soil moisture detector so you can see how moist your soil really is and determine if you need to water.

You just know that she's sending "hey Hun" messages while waiting in lines.

 

She's my roommate's cat and my new feline roommate. She's 4 and is super sweet, loves scriches, and racing people up the stairs. Please forgive the clutter in the images - we moved 2 weeks ago (Stella loves the ever-changing box collection).

I think the overall style is fun, but symmetrical eyebrows and lips would make it better (this is meant as constructive criticism)- it makes the image seem a bit 'off'. You're work is showing great range, and I appreciate your experimenting with the medium. Keep up the great work!

As it should be. What Marge wants she gets.

I thought it was a pillow until I looked closer - master of camouflage!

I don't think he should be held responsible for the politics of the human servants in his house.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but the guinea worm starts its work in the digestive system, and typically leaves through the skin of the foot (no joke- look it up if you don't believe me).

Despite good brushing and flossing, I had to get braces at 15 for spacing. My brother had similar but less severe spacing. You are not at any fault- you simply lost what I call the "genetic lottery".

You might be able to find a program, non-profit or dental college that can provide braces at a reduced price. I also know many of my friends as adults who had success with Invisalign (I don't know the cost).

Anyone who truly loves or cares about you will not think your teeth are a deal breaker. People's teeth are not picture perfect or blindingly white without some degree of cosmetic work.

 

(Not my cat)

Met this cat in my strata complex today chilling on some steps. It was largely indifferent, until my camera was ready and some screaming children were running its way. Even then it didn't run away! Hopefully I will have the opportunity to make this cat's acquaintance again.

I've had most these for 1-2 years and love how crazy they look.

I thought it was just another leaf growing, but to my surprise it was a bloom stalk. It lasted less than 24 hours before expiring, and a second opened up. It's always cool to get surprise blooms!

 

Saw this guy chilling on my deck railing, and as soon as the camera came out, he struck this pose.

 

Not a social media post, so hopefully this is permitted. Canada is also home to sovcits, and this person is outright insane.

I also find it ironic that a sovcit wants a monarchy.

 

This floofy boi befriended me while on a walk around my strata. He's friendly and wants all the pets and scratches.

 

My lithops have been in various stages of splitting for the past few months. They have decided to show the process all in one pot! The potting medium is perlite.

 

I saved this plant from my office 6 months ago because it had nearly no leaves, and now she's green and growing in a unique way. If this is what healthy looks like, it's all good with me.
