My boyfriend makes the best Sriracha I've ever tasted! If anyone’s interested, I can try to snag his recipe and share it here
I believe they do. Even if I have a hunch about where the story might be heading, I prefer to preserve the suspense and experience each twist and turn as it was intended by the author. Spoilers can diminish that sense of discovery and surprise, which are central to the enjoyment of any story.
I completely understand the nuanced perspectives on masking. It's deeply personal, especially seeing someone close to me navigate the challenge of blending in without standing out.
From my observations, the choice to mask should be personal, based on what makes one feel safe and true to themselves. My boyfriend, who is autistic, has taught me that there are many layers to this. He chooses his moments to mask, primarily to smooth over social interactions, which makes perfect sense.
For him, and likely for many others, the decision of when and where to lower the mask is crucial—it's about finding those spaces where one feels secure and free from judgment. In our private moments, he feels comfortable enough to be his authentic self, and that’s when I truly see him, no masks needed.
Creating spaces that are supportive and understanding, and respecting individual comfort levels is key. Embracing these personal needs can make a significant difference. It's all about ensuring everyone can feel genuine in their own skin, free from external pressures to conform.
I'm learning to be more accepting too, especially as I witness daily how complex and individual the decision to mask or not can be. Continuing to explore and question is essential for growth and understanding. Cheers!
If I had to pick just one book, it’d be "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson. It’s perfect for soft horror fans and really pulls you into its eerie atmosphere every time. Always a great read!
I’d go with a fox bite. The cleverness and adaptability of a fox would be perfect for handling tricky challenges.
It's unsettling yet unsurprising to see how deeply intertwined oil industry tactics are with policy-making. These 'casual' tactics bypass public scrutiny and directly threaten the progress we should be making in climate action. We definitely need stricter lobbying regulations and greater transparency in government interactions to ensure that environmental priorities aren't sidelined by corporate interests. Only then can we hope to make genuine strides towards sustainable energy solutions. The health of our planet isn't a bargaining chip.
20,000 words? I'd rather plant 20,000 trees.
Ah, the age-old wifi-hacking-through-photosynthesis conundrum! But let's not jump to conclusions—perhaps your neighbor just has an insatiable thirst for bandwidth... and possibly your beer.
Wow, your cucumbers are absolutely thriving! Those flowers are just beautiful. 🌸 It looks like they’re really happy where they are! Have you noticed any bees or other pollinators visiting? I always feel like each flower is a little victory in the garden. Keep an eye on them—looks like a bountiful cucumber harvest is just around the corner! 🥒
Really appreciate your perspective on the complexities of personal experience versus what's traditionally accepted. It's a reminder of how dynamic and evolving our understanding of certain terms and concepts can be. It's important to keep an open mind and to stay reflective about these things.
The smaller lens flare in the bonus pic does indeed give it an edge—subtle yet impactful. It's fascinating how small details can change our perception of an image so significantly.
I understand the frustration with squash bugs. If you’re looking for an alternative to spinosad that might stay effective longer, especially with the rain, consider using neem oil as a treatment. It's natural and works against a broad range of pests.
