Specimen known as 'Squeak' testing earth surfaces for possible food source

[supprimé]

We have a regular cycle of crows that visit us as we put out permanent water for them. As it's winter here, we've mowed the grass and let it lie as mulch. We have also laid some cardboard down to suppress weeds.

One of our frequent crow visitors has started tearing small pieces of cardboard and then stashing it under the dead, mown grass. When I took this video, it was the 4th time in a row it had done this. My child and I saw them doing the same thing again today.

There's no food on the cardboard and it's literally been there for months before the crow started playing with it....

Any thoughts about the possible reasons why our bros are doing this?

An individual close to Rep. Tom Kean Jr has stated he was witnessed travelling to Austin, Texas and then attending conversion therapy there. This trip occured after Rep. Kean realised his feelings for President Donald Trump and Health Secretary RFK Jr.

The individual did not want their identity disclosed at this time, noting they feared for their safety after receiving death threats from unknown sources.

Rep. Kean's phone data, obtained by News.com via a FoiA request, shows he was with the Living Waters: Christ Church of Austin facility for the majority of the 100 days he was absent from the House floor.

Reportedly, those working with Tom Kean have noticed a significant change in his behaviour, as he is now openly leering at female employees and reporters, commenting on their appearance.

Rep. Kean's office artworks have reportedly been replaced with lewd Playboy posters, some vintage, at taxpayers expense.

Rep. Tom Kean's office was contacted for comment but did not respond.

No chance at all that anyone else had touched my phone. Not laying it facedown overnight anymore.

These will probably just be worn around the house. Any recommendations welcomed.

Also, recommendations welcomed for shorts that can survive chub rub for thick girls...

My child (I've mentioned them here before) has been through too much for their age, and has been in therapy in some form or another for 9 of their total 16 years to date.

They experienced SA from their paternal grandfather when they were 6, and then had another incident while they attended highschool, with a peer.

We all hold so much anger and resentment for the innocence that was lost by the actions of these people.

Despite all of this and more, they are one of my favourite people in the world (regardless of being my child), showing absolute delight so easily when seeing the good parts of the world and humanity and consistently offering seemingly boundless empathy to all living things.

After their appointment this week, their therapist emailed to say how proud they are of the progress being made, the connections between past experiences and current reactions, as well as acknowledgement of healing and acceptance of how slow the process can be sometimes.

I genuinely cried while reading this, as it makes all the times I've held space for them, woken to screams from nightmares or overwhelm, the moments where I've encouraged them to journal and use the tools they've gained, all of that has made the difference they needed to grow and move forward.

Since my 45th birthday, I miss seeing the vivid ultramarine blue of my blood when I accidentally cut myself while cutting pine needles for dinner.

There was that week in the middle where it was dioxazine purple, but now it's a rich red like other older people.

When I was younger, I felt closer to my blue blood ancestors who skewed the life expectancy by laying down to die once they notice the change in their blood. Now, I'm just an average red-blooded person.

Has anyone been able to keep their blood blue after they turn 45? I know Peter Thiel was funding research into blood transfusions from young people to extend it but I haven't found the outcomes of those studies.

I just found out I need to find a new doctor, as my current one is moving internationally. I have an extremely complicated medical history, and my children have issues related to past trauma. The thought of having to talk through all of that, yet again, with another doctor, had me inconsolable.

Luckily, I was close to my psychologist's office and I walked in, crying. The receptionist was so lovely and even though my psychologist wasn't in that day, I felt supported. I settled down, walked out of my way to catch the bus home... spotted this.

It really did help to remember someone left that hoping it would be found by a person in need. And I was.

They are adding this woodchip to a nearby garden that had a healthy lot of weeds until recently. Looks like they poisoned it (months ago), then let it lie for a while.

Today, I added red poppy seeds to the areas already flattened. This is near my house, so once they have done the rest, I'll add cornflowers and some select plants to attract bees and butterflies. This is also near a bakery and a small park, so it should be nice.

I run a boardgames group; we meet twice a month and this game of mine is oddly popular. Being able to play a game up to 12 players that can include children is very helpful, as we have people attend with their families. Sequence is underrated but often popular once learnt. Thus, a new box was needed after the other was accidentally water damaged.

My hoarding nature proves itself worthy again; this Stranger Things snack bowl box turned out to be perfect! I cut the better parts of the box to recreate a functional and informative top.
