@WhistlingStella@c.im

Best known for pithy comments, enjoying good schadenfreude (hot or cold) and moral outrage. Frequently mixes metaphors. I apologize in advance (I'm Canadian, so sorry it's compulsive) if I don't follow you back. I'm trying to balance my timeline between the death of democracy (which I care deeply about (and no I don't personally say aboot)) and the other stuff I like, which is mostly woke stuff. I also like fossils, sci-fi, birds, gardening, crushing the patriarchy so
non-woke stuff too.

The cat is frustrating me. All she wants to is get under the duvet in the room where I work. We are trying to keep it pet hair free for visitors. Every time she gets in this room she insinuates herself under the duvet. I keep taking her out of the bed and putting her out of the room but she goes out through the cat flap and round the side to howl at my window. I can't stand the howling so I let her in and it begins again.

@purplepadma Resistance is futile! Giver her her own blanket until company comes.

Old Country: She left me. Took my truck. Took my dog. Took my Bible.

New Country: She finally left me! Let’s go celebrate!

Newest Country: She would never leave me because we’re both devoted Americans dedicated to God, Country and Traditional Family Values.

OMFG. I'd never heard it before either, Robbie.

Via Emptywheel:

This is actually one of Roger Stone's favorite slurs against women. He has used it against me at least once.

" told her: 'See you next Tuesday' – a phrase that is often used as a derogatory euphemism directed at women." https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/01/politics/roberta-kaplan-donald-trump-deposition-maralago/index.html

Do you think there are any truly credible sources of news and information?

I feel like anymore when I read something, I need to do further research, and find second or third sources for verification. So many headlines are click bait half truths, hyperbole, or just full on lies and don't get me started
on YouTube "News".

@Gustodon @RickiTarr And maybe not even then! See research on eye witnesses.

New : has an Honesty Problem

In which (with the inadvertant help of ) attempt to try and screw me out of nearly £500 after someone in Amazon's delivery chain stole our order

Note: I'd greatly appreciate it if people could boost the ever-living hell out of this one to try and stop the next victim from happening

@ben I don't think Amazon realizes how damaging these stories are to their business, this is the second one I have read this week. I doubt that I'll order anything expensive from Amazon now.

I think I might have worked Summer too hard. We gardened up a storm, and now she is tuckered out.
Of the twelve rose bushes in front of the house, we got ten ready for winter.
At least we finished before the rain that should start any minute.
While we were in the garden, I also observed that hummingbirds eat apples. They buzzed around us, devouring the apples we left on the tree. Who knew?
Physical labor followed by a nap.
Summer has the right idea.

WhistlingStella,
@WhistlingStella@c.im avatar

@stevenray @NorcalGma2 Who knew! "Certain ripe or juicy fruits may attract hummingbirds. Hummingbirds have been known to discreetly sip the juices from berries, apples, pears, and oranges if they are peeled, cut open, or if the flesh is otherwise exposed" Hummingbirds also eat insects.

Any suggestions for an alternative to Amazon for this use case?

  • realize I need something, some random thing like toothpaste
  • throw it in the shopping cart
  • either get it then, or later

@PaulW @Nickiquote It is called rlist I think the r is = our. It's in the Play Store (it's free).

The Case for Domesticated Ants:

Domesticated bees are useful. They pollinate crops & produce honey. But, what could domesticated ants do?

Ants are stronger than bees & come in a wide range of sizes. They can be kept healthy on an inexpensive a diet of feeder insects & plant sugars. Ants are fastidious & pay attention to details. 1/

@miss_s_b @futurebird @msw117r22 Native plants will attract native bees and give them proper nutrition. Leave the leaves on your garden.

    OK, here's a mystery. It's Saturday. I see a couple of guys wearing orange vests get out of an ordinary, unmarked car in a residential area. They go to the middle of a quiet intersection, and with a hammer start banging a chisel into the asphalt. They may or may not have hit something hard after a few minutes (change in the sound, maybe). They inspect what they're doing, then brush back in the asphalt with their feet. And drive off. They couldn't have gone deep at all. Some kind of inspection? Outer space aliens implanting homing devices? Any ideas?

    WhistlingStella,
    @WhistlingStella@c.im avatar

    @lauren So this is scary... I tried to reply and POOF it disappeared.... coincidence? One can do ANYTHING with an orange vest and no one will question you; it's a cloaking device. Maybe they were just booking time and a half on a fool's errand but I hope you still have that 600' roll of aluminium foil from Costco. Thoughts and prayers.

    I just got to take a short break and pat my goats with a grade 6/7 class who came to visit the farm. Best reaction to seeing the animals: one of the students yelled "Wait, llamas are real?!"

    @sundogplanets I am still chuckling about this. Llamas are rather improbable!
