It is one of my deepest regrets that people are forced to hide who they are because of others beliefs. I appreciate you sharing your experience and I hope that before I die it is just a memory. I’m a cis het ally, and I won’t be happy until everyone can be who they are.

They can take the sun, I’d look at your water. Distilled or reverse osmosis water only, TDS should be below 50. You can get a cheap TDS meter for under $20 if you’re not sure.

Although cape sundew are relatively agnostic to humidity , I have to admit that I am currently considering upgrading my RO system …

Good. I can feel your anger. I am defenseless. Take your weapon! Strike me down with all your hatred, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!

By a mile. Plus, and this may be significant to my mental health provider, I kinda enjoy watching their pathetic struggles against an onslaught of booger covered arms. I have issues.

Hey man it’s just a taste to take the edge off!

It looks like you’ve done the reading! I have nothing further to add and I hope your recovery is swift.

I’m so glad you had an affirming experience during such a difficult time. Just to rain on your parade a tiny bit, medical settings are the one place where it is sometimes important to disclose your gender assigned at birth. Pharmacologically there are some difference between how humans respond to medications and your providers may prescribe differently to make sure you are going to be safe and healthy. Simply saying “When I was born they said I was a _____” and that’s enough for them to make the safest possible decisions .

I’m commenting in the world news server. My comment needed a /s.

Likewise ! I hope it helps. I got this one from California Carnivores, I’d recommend them if you can’t find one locally.

That’s always the dream, then I leave the screen door open one time and they find a way back in!

It does leach minerals over time. Sundew seem to be less picky than some other carnivores in this respect, I’m just passing on what works for me. The worst possible outcome of choosing the wrong material is ya kill a $14 plant so it’s pretty low stakes.

Yup, I’ve tried all the traditional gnat remedies but even if I eradicate them they always find a way back, so I decided to lean into it.

I’d stay away from terracotta long term but if it’s working for you, play ball.

Glass is fine too. They’re very sensitive to mineral buildup so terracotta , stone, etc will harm them over time.

I mean , that means we still have a holocaust to survive .

I pressure wash people off roads and so far everyone who’s made it to the ambulance has been wearing full gear.

I know that any task not done immediately will be permanently deleted from my attention span so I hyper focus on getting the entire task done in one go so I can forget about it. My annual review said I am one of the highest producers in the group.

A point I saw in another thread is sticking with me: Insurance rates for foreign car owners will go up too because replacement parts are going to get more expensive.
