Guess it’s time to get a new TV…

Surprisingly it doesn’t have a smell! Pretty happy about that as some of my hoya flowers really stink.

I’ve been trying to correct myself every time I want to say “google it” to “look it up” or “search it”, it’s a bit of an uphill battle since I’ve been saying google it for years but I’ll get there.

Glad I finally watched it for the first time two weeks ago!

Looks like it might be a pencil cactus

Yeah I’d much rather have a 3 day weekend

Great, let me just hop in my time machine and vote differently in the last election 🙄

Yep, I won’t be voting for them the next election. I voted to avoid a conservative government and feel like we ended up with one anyways. It’s very disheartening and I wish they would switch us to a ranked ballot or something like it.

I have too much stuff lol. I went semi-hydro for a bit so I have leca, bonsai mix, and zeolite (zeolite was a bag of ecotraction). I also bought some silica sand (i think it was a bag of pool filter? it was cheaper) to mix into soil to make carnivorous plant medium.

These days I mostly just use potting soil, cactus soil, perlite, and orchid bark. I prefer pumice over perlite since it doesn’t rise to the top when you water, but perlite is cheaper. I keep a bag of sphagnum moss for growing alocasia corms, though I’ve also used leca for that and it works well too.

I grew a bunch of succulents and a caudex plant from seeds in cactus soil, they did well (I also had fungus gnats at the time so I lost some to those).

my caudex plants now mostly live in a 1:1:1 mix of cactus soil (or regular soil if I’ve forgotten that I use cactus soil for them), perlite, and orchid bark. They’re all pretty happy.

It also opens up a whole other can of worms. What if they decide they don’t want to treat LGBTQ2S+ folks because of these religious values?

Even if they’re private they should still have to abide by legal medical practices. They shouldn’t get to pick and choose what procedures they morally agree with.

And federal employees are country wide so thats a lot of municipalities and a lot of tax-payer money.

I’m going to respond seriously in case this is a serious post:

Typically the “fishy” smell comes from Bacterial Vaginosis, which is an imbalance of bacteria that can be caused by several factors. It’s not common in healthy vaginas and if yours smells like fish then I recommend seeing a doctor and having it treated. Most women do not have a foul odour down there, especially not one that you can smell through clothes while keeping normal social distances.

You can’t believe everything you’ve read on the internet. Also, it sounds like the men you’re getting your information from are either prepetuating this myth unintentionally, or are very immature and think they’re funny (they’re not). I recommend going out and actually interacting with women, there are plenty of women out there who are also not girly that have similar interests to you. They won’t smell any different than a man would.

The best way to overcome your preconceived notions about others is by genuinely interacting with those people. I’m sorry you were bullied, but just as jerks exist in all genders, so do kind and awesome people.

Edit: I forgot to actually answer your question, no this is not a normal thing to worry or think about. It might be time to seek professional help.

That Feeling When

I have one that I keep all the cards I got at my wedding in. Mind you it looks more like a decorative box that’s book shaped than an actual fake book.

This one hasn’t flowered yet but the flowers are super cool looking! it did put out a peduncle but it’s right on top of the soil so the buds blasted off before blooming

Lol I’m glad you found them because I did not know what they were called. I picked em up from my local nursery, they’re pretty sturdy and were under $10 CAD

I think this is a pretty neat idea! For some smaller pots I use a tray filled with water (linked below) for them to butt-chug and then I move them to an empty tray to dry before putting them back in their place

4" plant pot to help with scale.

I’ve seen others use their bathtub but I like the idea of not risking dirt/perlite/etc. clogging up the drains. Depending on your drain you could use a metal debris catcher thingy like I have in my laundry room sink (I found mine at the dollar store):

I wish our government would regulate this shit. Airlines shouldn’t be able to nickle and dime like this. Prices just keep going up 😒

It’s super pretty! I love the sunstress colour 😍
