I'm sorry, friend. <3

I remember them being delicious, but in my family's area squirrels have learned to eat the flowers before there's fruit which makes it hard to get any to eat!

Dietes grandiflora - Wikipedia

I think the one on the right is a Dietes (probably Dietes grandiflora) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietes_... and the one on the left might be a pineapple guava (Feijoa sellowiana) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feijoa

I have several! They have held up well to normal wear-and-tear - I've had most of them for several years and I wear them pretty frequently. I last bought one in January and quality seemed the same.

I have also reported an issue to them (a dress with a snag in it) and they replaced it very swiftly.

Yes! There are confused cranes doing mating dances at humans but way cooler than that are humans joining the big group "we're all cranes here" dances!

Cranes do not look inherently weird but they dance! And humans can join crane dances and that's very weird.

This is lovely!

WHAT oh my god

WHAT

I'm really sorry. Like, you'd already made plans around this date and you had other plans coming up! <3

Congratulations!

oh I'm so glad!

Congratulations!

Oh geez, that sounds awful!

something could be going wrong in an eyeball, we just don't know

wow what a horrible man

Frankly the smallest mustelid would be difficult! If they feel threatened or trapped, least weasels bite and claw and spray musk that would render your bookstore unusable.

I watched this episode, but watched is a strong word considering I spent like thirty minutes of it blocking the video and just listening to it. And it was so pointless! Just flashy blue lights for no reason!

Happy birthday!

Congratulations!

I didn't first read about fanfic in the newspaper, but I did first read about kink in the newspaper! There was an article like "professional dominatrices who don't have sex with their customers: weirdly legal?" And it had narratives and pictures and I was like "wait this is an option???"

The fic wasn't what I was looking for and the site was impossible to navigate so I didn't read Star Wars fic again for years! Instead I hung out in the various mailing lists and individual webpages for the X-Files, due South, etc

First fanfic I read: Star Wars, Han/Leia, post-ROTJ, some now-defunct forum site, maybe 10 or 11? The fic was primarily about how many pillows you needed to make the Millennium Falcon comfortable for Leia. I think Threepio had strong opinions about it.

I have known triggers (which is good) but they are ... perfume, 95% of cleaning products, etc, so I'm fine at home and at work (fragrance-free workplace) but not at a movie theater or in an uber or in a hotel or etc.

Yeah, maybe! There's another couple options that I would have to look at the chart to remember. (I have intense hives/angioedema in response to some allergens that I mitigate primarily by "not going places or doing things.")

I just had a talk with my allergist about this so I would be interested!

happy birthday!

They're for sale in my area as ground cherries! We also grow them in our garden - they're prolific and after we planted them once we had tons of volunteer plants afterwards.

I'm so sorry <3

as many as necessary
