I will also pay the toy addict dog tax

Yeah gotta be this. Decaying arthropod smell is pretty gnarly

Nice! I use the air fryer on the Tyson ones longer than recommended for the same reason haha. Keeps them crispy enough to chop up and toss in a salad.

Looks great! Did you do the chicken crust/frying yourself?

I’m going to travel internationally for the first time thanks to a work trip. Stressed but excited!

Anybody have any “must-sees” in Taipei?

In the house or somewhere else?

What type of cat is this?

I think the intent is to make people aware that someone can externally be happy/successful/etc but still be in a very bad place internally. People who have or do deal with depression and related conditions probably think this is so obvious it’s not worth pointing out, but I think a lot of them would be surprised how often the average person takes someone’s externalized condition and assumes it’s their entire experience.

I have no idea if posts like this picture do anything to actually inform people (and I’d bet not), but I guess I get what they’re going for.

I don’t have a ton of experience but I’ve kept Nepenthes pitchers before - the ones I’ve kept are pretty particular to humidity staying up and not getting dry soil. A lot of carnivorous plants also need distilled (or similar) water to stay happy.

That being said, there’s lots of carnivorous species that aren’t tropical or picky! Check out some Saracanea pitcher species if the tropical ones are too much to deal with

He looks like a very sweet boy 🥰

The Library of Babel by Borges melted my brain as a teenager.

Some sick Pacific Northwest metal/hardcore to checkout:

• lilith.
• Kaizo
• heiress
• Cult Sickness
• Flesh Produce

There’s SO MUCH good modern hardcore music here right now that I’m barely scratching the surface, but hopefully at least one of these does something for you!
