A beaver (or beavers?) moved into the creek deep in the woods behind my house last fall, and I am SO excited about the beautiful pond they are building.

The most absurd thing I've seen a man refuse to do because of toxic masculinity is just scroll past an innocuous comment without replying a bunch of misogynistic bullshit.

Tolerable accommodations, learning skills that can be put to use on the outside, and no fear of violence should be some of the basics of a prison system. The fact that our prison system is so fucked that slavery seems like a better deal isn't a credit to slavery, it's evidence of a horrifically broken prison system.

You have a good vet, they know that all torties need to be wrapped up like a little baby sometimes, for their health 😂

Mine loves being carried around like a wee baby!

Please don't leave! Keep speaking your mind, if enough of us stick it out we can drown out the users like Captain Asshole here.

LMAO at all these dude saying it's about shit talking. Nah, home girl got her eyebrows waxed and the waxer wants to know if she needs her lip done too... it hurts. Do not recommend.

I will report back in a few weeks with more pictures! Also will probably be spamming them all over Lemmy because I just cannot shut up about how cool they are 😅

What was that conspiracy theory that they're building an underground data center and the ballroom is just a cover?

Starting to sound a little less wacky...

I had a white peahen show up in my yard and hang out with my chickens once. She stayed all afternoon, ate scratch with the flock, then just wandered off into the woods.

We're in the northeast US, so she definitely wasn't wild, and it took forever to identify her because WTF was a white peahen doing here 🤔

Possibly she texted him so that the kid wouldn't overhear them talking about his gift. My daughter's Dad and I used to do that all the time, especially for private talks that we thought might hurt her feelings.

Jokes are funny

Those aren't ads, Coca-Cola™ is just so crisp and refreshing that we can't help talking about it naturally!

I'm graduating this month at 31 and my friend, you have made a great decision for yourself! It's incredibly difficult as an adult, but it's going to feel completely worth it when you're at the end. You'll open up a new world of job opportunities, and if you ever have kids or take on a mentor type role for one you will be a living example for them to get through it too. I spent the first two years of college making jokes to my classmates about doing it a decade too late, but now I'm owning it. Those whipper snappers should try doing it alongside a full time job and a kid and a house with a currently flooded basement!

You're going to do great. And, even if you don't do great, all you need to do is PASS. That's okay too!

I only have one child, because she tried to kill me.

Going through the complications, the hospitalizations, the stress on my marriage, the fear and the sorrow and the anxiety... At the time it was all devastating. But then I held my healthy, beautiful daughter and I knew we had both survived it all. There was, of course, the natural biological rush of hormones and happy chemicals to ease labor and promote bonding. For me though, there was also a feeling of invincibility and adrenaline, like I had survived jumping off a cliff after a long tortuous hike to the top of a mountain. I don't know how else to describe it.

Sure it could have killed me, but it didn't!

Then factor in that for any woman, people will always ask when are you having another one? Peers at Mommy and Me, family members, old ladies at the grocery store, it'a a deeply personal decision and people treat it like chatting about the weather. Other Mom's would tell me their birth stories and say but 'it was all so worth the pain' and I'd think, maybe I'm a wuss. Maybe I'm not as good of a mother as they are.

Think, too, of all the other stupid shit humans do that might kill them. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? Do you drink? Cross the street without waiting for the traffic signal? Drive or ride in a car? And if so, what did you get out of it? You could have risked your life, or someone else's, for nothing.

These women are risking their lives, but they've survived this ordeal before. And in return, they bring a new life into the world!

I still wouldn't do it again, but I can't blame any mother who does.

I'm sorry, that was my us-centrist bias at fault.

No, technically that is dressing
