You could try a cat friendly plant and hang it out of reach? Not sure how acrobatic your cat is though, I'm lucky mine leaves the plants alone. Though I think I've overwhelmed her with the quantity and so she's not very interested 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.

 

She started as such a little pup and now her leaves are bigger than my hand

I got her about 2 years ago.

NDP doesn't really campaign in my province, Liberals had the better shot here.

I'm thinking the comment loading issue is more of a federation issue than a Boost one. I can't even see my own comment on this post.

The scrolling issue I've experienced before moving to PieFed, though I think that has something to do with my server and Boost being on different versions. It usually resolved itself once my server's version got updated.

At least it's not just me.

I'm not sure why but I'm having trouble scrolling on All. It's hitting a bottom fairly quickly. I also am not seeing all comments, like for instance I made a post and can only see aboug half the comments in the actual post, the rest I have to read through my messages.

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 don't expect it to last long on Clevatess, but I think he's probably an important part of the plot. I don't think he'll live forever but I would've been surprised if they immediately killed him off.

Maybe one post to vent my frustrations isn't representative of my daily experience, but thanks for assuming I'm starving myself or being unhealthy.

I've done that and it can definitely help! It's so freaking hot out that I haven't exercised much today and yesterday... I might just have to suck it up and do some indoor exercise today instead of my daily walk.

I may have already had grapes with breakfast and a very large lunch lol... I did not plan out my calories very well today

 

Forgive the new account, I just moved my account over from lemmy.ca.

I'm working on losing weight right now and needed to rant a little. Currently in the luteal phase of my cycle and all I want to do is eat! What I would give to eat everything in my recently stocked fridge... 😩

On the plus side, I'm down a little over 5 lbs!

Any tips on taking my mind off of food would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to join in on venting.

Currently craving chocolate, breakfast bagel sandwiches, sushi, and the costco sized container of grapes in my fridge... and pancakes with looootttss of syrup.

Thank you for listening!
