Same.

For orchids give them some nice roomy medium, I read once about a wiffle ball technique where you put a wiffle ball underneath the stem to ensure airflow at the roots. I don't have any wiffle balls whenever I've repotted, so I usually just do a bark "core" and then a slim wrap around the roots with wet sphagnam moss, and fill in any extra room in the pot with more bark. I soak the orchids in water to the base of their leaves like once every two weeks for 15 minutes in lukewarm to warm water, and put a tiny bit of orchid fertilizer in the mix every few months or so. I put them somewhere that is warm with a lot of indirect light. My oldest ones are I think 5 now, so it's been working alright for me. I've also stopped trying to make them be upright because they naturally lean over, so I just put them however they look comfortable in the pot.

I can't visualize nearly at all and when I was younger I would devour a novel daily. I have ADHD and a strong internal monologue.

I don't read books very often now and I think the reason for this is that my need is somewhat met (and maybe partially overwhelmed) by reading things online, unfortunately the majority of the things I read online are lower quality and creativity than a book would be.

It sounds like you don't know what gender affirming care for minors is.

Therapy, safely delaying puberty, general support - which of these do you take issue with exactly?

They ask you about periods at every single visit for any reason. Have migraines? When was your last period?Twisted your ankle? When was your last period? Think there is a bug in your ear? When was your last period?

There is no avoiding this question as a period aged woman.

Hey if you're on hormonal birth control I think you can just tell them you use the method that gets rid of periods (not taking the placebo week and just continuing with the hormone pills, this is safe if you also just don't want to have periods link)

I have an iud and besides a short time after having one removed to get pregnant with my daughter haven't had my period in uh, 9 years? I just tell them I don't have a period and haven't in years and they accept that readily

Oh yeah, about 15ish years ago they were highly regarded and their products were awesome, but over the last ten or so years they've gotten progressively worse, it's disappointing and sad.

I just tested how I told because I wasnt sure

I grab two corners along the long edge and pinch with one hand, and slide my other hand along the length until it's tight in the middle, then I just meet that to the corners in my other hand, then turn it to the side and fold in half

No chin

In an emergency when you are panicking and haven't practiced opening it tho? If you even know where it is?

I would be surprised if even half of tesla owners know where the handle is

I think of it this way, I'm not voting for Biden, I'm voting against Trump

They both suck but I know which is worse for some of my friends and family
