I relate to this a lot. I was on Reddit for over a decade, too, when I left after the third-party apps shut down. I loved a lot of the discussion over there (once I got away from some of the big subs and found smaller ones), and still kind of miss it. There really was a period of sadness when I left. I’m trying to be active over here to help these communities grow, but it’s hard to get back into it and be motivated sometimes.

Blaine is a pain, and that’s the truth.

Oh no, hope the camera is okay!

I’ve never had the squirrels mess with my Bird Buddy, but they try to get into all the other feeders!

This meme made me smile!

Totally random question, but what are the brightly colored pieces in the birdseed?

I’ve got a one-legged grackle that visits my feeder occasionally!

Is reading technically considered consuming content? Fun and it’s a pretty cheap hobby if you have library access or go to used bookstores!

I’m just really bad at forming habits. I know what I need to do, I can come up with routines or ways to do it, maybe even do it for a couple of days. But I just can’t seem to ever get habits I want to form to last for any length of time.

It’s just crappy that good, ethical, quality clothes do cost a lot more. I absolutely understand why, but man does it suck for the average consumer nowadays.

I’ve been slowly upgrading and updating my wardrobe over the last couple of years, and I’ve bought a lot second hand and then been trying to put my money towards the most sustainable/ethical choices that I can when I buy new stuff. (And I realize that being able to do that is a luxury, too.)

Whoa, I had no idea that was a thing. Horrific!

several stages where it looked like it was failing, and it’s actually really important to just let that happen, it’s part of the cycle…

Forestry advice and/or life advice?

I loved Thinking, Fast and Slow. I really enjoyed how he included a lot of the questions and tests he used so you could answer them as you read the book.
