This is one of the most striking parks I’ve been to. Some sections of the badlands are like walking on an alien world

There’s four justices over the age of 70 (one is Sotomayor). Not that age means much in regards to mortality when one has the resources that they do

Last year I found a lifeless bird caught in the decorative fence meant to keep my dog from jumping off the terraced part of my yard. It was really sad, but I learned that leaving a strip of tall grass behind the fence prevented the birds from flying through it.

Last month a robin broke its neck on my front window, so I’ve decided the entire place must be cursed

I also enjoy erininthemorning, just note that her wife is part of Montana state legislature and she’s labeled left-biased

There’s a growing split in the state between the old-school Republicans and MAGA right now. There have been a few MAGA bills aimed at lgbtq+ and environment that failed because the few old schoolers were convinced that those bills were against the state constitution, and the values like privacy and freedom that the magats claim to hold dear.

It’s honestly been really interesting to watch over the last year or two.

I struggled with night terrors from PTSD for a long time. Developed a binge drinking habit to try and cope, because I didn’t want to sleep anymore and had to knock myself out.

Eventually I was able to get help. Two years with the right therapist (many more trying to find her) and I actually only get night terrors once a month or so now. That might sound like a lot, but weeks of refreshing sleep between episodes makes life so much easier to live. Things have taken a slight dive since the start of the year, but I know once politics and security are stable again I’ll be okay. Being able to rephrase my brain from “torturing” me to “coping any way it can” has helped, but I think the journey to dealing with nightmares is different for everyone

I’ve been patiently waiting for moths pondering orbs

I lost a lot of cute erasers to the back of these desks

You’re right. Broken neck during delivery, caused by excessive force from the doctor.

Absolutely horrifying

Zone, soil type, and sun would help narrow things down.

Lemongrass did well for me, but that won’t survive most winters. Unless you’re okay with keeping things in pots and wintering indoors

To be fair, I am also a millennial, but most of my friends were surprised when I told them about that correction I received from the younger generation. I guess that says more about my friends than millennials overall lol

I’ve heard from Gen Z that ending a text response with a period is passive aggressive. So “cool” may have seemed glib on its own, but the punctuation might be giving an additional, if unintentional, tone

I’m glad this was the ruling. But will it stand up to appeal? In the 80s federal funding for highways was withheld unless the state complied with the new minimum age for drinking alcohol.

Edit: it was only 10% of the allocated funds, so maybe there is a chance

I have the same cat tent, and both of my cats prefer sleeping anywhere else lol

Uhhh… that thing where people glue little strands of hair to their forehead in an arc

Do you mean styling baby hairs?

I have a hard time believing they didn’t know of and weren’t complicit in the attack on Iran. They just diverted an arms shipment from Ukraine to Israel that specifically are claimed to counter Iranian drones

Edit: I saw it was to Israel on the BBC I think, but this article says otherwise

Oh, yeah. I didn’t mean to imply that getting a job with a disability is easy or that employers actually follow laws. I was more trying to point out that a personality disorder is a disability, because most people won’t see it that way

My therapist told me that a diagnosis of a mental health disorder means you have a disability*. So if they choose not to hire you because of your ASPD diagnosis, in the US at least, that’s discrimination against a protected class. I have AvPD, and that was a concern for me too

*(although many disorders don’t always earn the label “disability” when a person is seeking benefits)

High pH is basic btw. I’m assuming you meant low pH with the reference to soda

My acid reflux has nothing to do with acidic or basic foods, and everything to do with the ratio of fat I’ve eaten or how many alcoholic drinks I’ve had in an evening. Beer is about a hundred times less acidic than soda (for reference) and soda doesn’t set my reflux off

My point is that human bodies are weird and we react in weird ways to food. That’s why we have to trial foods
