Long fiber sphagnum moss wicking water up from the substrate, mostly. I’ve heard that lava rock can be porous enough to stay moist on its own but it doesn’t work for me in my dry climate.

I finally got my license at 27. I HATED driving, found it difficult to multitask and just the constant adrenaline made me miserable.

I got over it because I had to after moving too far away from work to continue commuting by bike. At first I stuck to driving short, known routes. It eventually becomes muscle memory and the anxiety will lessen. I just wanted to let you know you can do it. It will suck but you’ll get there.

It had multiple nicknames, superflu was the main one.

Thanks, felt like I was taking crazy pills. Leaves of three, let it be!

Can we not name this after the disease that kills 99% of humans in a Stephen King novel please? It feels like asking for trouble.

Update! Look what I found this morning!

Thank you! I spent an hour jamming sphagnum moss one strand at a time into the substrate like a crazy person 😅

 

Drosera ultramafica x spatulata

She’s currently sending up four separate flower spikes, the flowers bloom for such a short time I have yet to actually see one open!

Heliamphora sarracenioides x minor Black Burgundy

Heliamphora have a reputation for being difficult, but I’ve had good luck so far growing on a windowsill, even in my very dry climate. She gets lots and lots of light!

Bonus utricularia sandersonii and u. calycifida in the background

 

Great youtube analysis of the humanity intrinsic in art, and why AI slop will never qualify.

 

The new buttons for commenting and voting take up a whole bunch of space at the bottom of each comment. I think it would be more compact and readable if those buttons move up to the top of the comment.

The comment button could move right next to the three dot menu (or comment could become an option in the three dot menu).

The vote buttons could be combined with the vote counters already displayed (i.e. click the upvote arrow or upvote count to upvote the comment).

 

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

I framed my favorite birb art from the internet, here’s a photo of my little buddy checking it out. He looks rather unimpressed.
