Let me introduce you to my College AU 👏 I randomly tought of this some time after watching the events in Merasault. Just wanted to take the sillies and put them into a situation where they didn't need to kill each other. Now they do this instead of studying for their exams.

PS: pls click on image for high res because it keeps looking blurry and I have no idea how to fix it, if you do pls let me know.

my mom: [fills a toddler's bucket to the brim] toddler: [eyes buggin out]

Me: take big handfuls! one in a gang of 9-11-yr old boys: handFUL or handFULS? Me: handFULS him: [short-circuiting] his friend: this is my favorite house. I live at that house over there, but this is my favorite. the first boy, going hogwild: you said handFULS their smallest friend, very worried: hey y'all, save some for me

7/8-yr old pirate: can I have this one? me: yeah! him: woah! can I have this one? me: sure! him: woah! can I h

When gardeners get a little too enthusiastic about "native plants good, invasive plants bad", they miss a crucial fact; very few plants have zero value to wildlife. An abandoned urban lot full of invasives still offers some options for shelter, habitat, and food...sure, the species who make best use of them are going to be the resilient generalists quickly adapting to urban life, but it's something. A barren parking lot offers pretty much nothing except human waste scraps.

So when you're managing an area with a large number of invasive plants, you have to keep in mind that in the short-term, you'll actually decrease the complexity of the ecosystem by removing plants. Obviously you're going to make up for it in the long-term with plants better-suited to your region, but some of those will take years to reach maturity. A lot of experienced native plant gardeners will recommend tackling a large space in sections so you don't turn your entire yard into an empty expanse of wood chip mulch all at once.

No friends of my own.

Just reoccurring dreams

Of a secret tunnel with a slide

To the next door unit

Of our military duplex.

A world so full of life and color

Beyond my own walls.

Two kids with no parents,

My best friends.

what! i have to hear what you and your neighbor did about their digs after they took out your goat herd. I have a large herd as well, and I am terrified of the same thing happening

Honestly, my family didn't do anything. We lived in a rural area where a lot of our pets ended up missing or in pieces around our property and outside of it, so we were accustomed to losing animals in violent ways. The loss of our goats was the most significant, though, and because the goats were kind of the pets of the entire neighborhood, our other neighbors were way angrier than we were about it.

We just had sympathy for the owner of those dogs because she'd lost her husband that same year, and the oldest dog was all she had left of him, with the youngest being a new adoption. She hadn't anticipated them breaking out, but once she caught them again both were taken away and put down at her behest. We never told her to do that, nor did we argue with her or even get angry. She just took responsibility and handled the issue her way.

I have this idea in my head where there’s like a small town where me and the gang live in with some of our other friends and like it’s kinda like fish city but it’s not a city it’s just a little town or maybe it is a city and we all live in the same neighborhood idk but I really do wanna world build and like I just rlly wanna design a neighborhood where we live in grrr 💔💔💔

[tzufcallsmeshomps]

Just found out I've lost another childhood friend to the war, the younger brother of my classmate. I'm at a loss... I don't know if my parents know too, they were really really close with his parents. I'm afraid to tell them. I'm afraid of them telling me. I have no one on the outside to ask how to handle this... Everyone's even closer to the pain than me. I don't want to trauma dump on internet friends out of the blue. I just don't know what to do.

Have I said spyxfamily marcia/cerys au before. I'm saying it now anyway. Marcia gets to be loid and cerys is yor. And I guess that puts septimus as anya

[doberrrman]

I have this feeling that I have unofficial beef with my neighbor...

[wrixie]

my next door neighbor was just arrested lol

[gunpowder-gemini]

We found a lost kitten and she's incredibly tiny. She has two collars (why?) so we know she's someone's. Unfortunately she's not chipped (vet thinks she's too young) so she's staying with us til we can find her owners.

She's VERY affectionate and keeps trying to suckle on my neck, which is weird but sweet.

Anyway if she looks familiar dm me and I'll give you more details, not gonna dox myself here 😅
