That's a sinningia muscicola, its pretty compact, super cute, and is basically always in bloom

I have an older post of it in my post history that shows more of it.

cats are monarchists

In water on a window-sill has worked in the past for me with that one. I make sure to cut close to the node, nor more than 1 cm under the node and I like to have at least 2 leaves on the stem. I leave the bottom node leafless. The window I put them on is south-east facing.

I found it to be pretty similar to other props, not too difficult to root. Mind you I usually prop in the spring time

It's alright... it's basically a romcom. I don't think I'd recommend it to people but I'm not hating it. The characters are charming enough but aside from the main plot gimmick there doesn't seem to be too much progression in the story.

Honestly because of his leadership, my future votes will be going towards NDP or Greens. The Liberals have lost my vote forever. I voted Liberal to avoid a Conservative government and I feel like I ended up with one anyways.

I've actually had people be less pushy about it once I hit my 30's. Though I still get the occasional "why not?" and "what if your husband changes his mind?" when they ask if I have children. Which is honeslty pretty crazy to me, what if it wasn't by choice (it is) and now you're asking "why not?" to someone who wants them but for whatever reason can't have them.

I'm fortunate enough that my parents and in-laws both don't bother us about it. They'd love grandkids but know we won't be having any. The pressure mostly came from coworkers in my 20's where they'd say "You'll change your mind" and dismiss my opinions.

I'm going to be in the market for an electric car in the next year or two... I was considering an Ioniq as an option but now I'm not so sure. I'm having trouble finding any EV that doesn't have a massive monitor in place of buttons, doesn't have some kind of subscription, and isn't a privacy nightmare. Not sure what I'll do when the time comes to actually buy...

That Feeling When

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

I usually just run the scoop under hot water for a few seconds, usually cuts right through the ice cream.

Because #whynot?

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.

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.

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.

Anything that's sold in Canada? I'm in the market for a new washer after my last two died on the 2 year mark.

Also you guys need to start posting more! It's starting to feel like a one woman show around here lol

Lol the wall is actually more dusky in person (like a muddy rust), my camera makes it look bright orange so I look like a crazy person.

Care regime lately has just been to water when dry (so like every 7-14 days) and fertilize rarely (mostly because I forget). It actually doesn't live where it is in the picture but hangs out right in my east facing sliding door so it gets lots of morning light. I keep it and most of my plants in a chunky mix (1 part orchid bark, 1 part perlite, 1 part potting soil), otherwise they take forever to dry out with the humidity here.

It probably would be a lot bigger if I hadn't swapped everything to semi hydro last year to try and be rid of fungus gnats (a strategy which actually did work, but I'm a lazy plant parent so they didn't really thrive in that). It lived in water for quite a while re-rooting so it was just a sad and dying leaf a couple months ago. It's made a huge comeback this summer, with another leaf on the way.

Catchy ending! Maybe one day Tani and Suzuki will figure out how to kiss lol
