New Slug Parent!

Hello! I’m a big fan of random insect keeping, or I guess in this case gastropod keeping, so I found a slug that was struggling in the middle of a parking area and took it home with me. I also named it Robbie! I attached pictures of Robbie if anyone cares to help me identify his type.

I was hoping to get some slug-keeping tips since googling it isn’t as reliable as I was hoping. What type of enclosure should I get? I currently have him in a mason jar with holes in the cap since I had that conveniently. I put some soil at the bottom and added leaves as well. I know they need to be kept moist so I spray Robbie like every hour. I also read that they need to be fed regularly so I currently have a small plum slice inside that he’s munching on, and will take it out tomorrow to prevent decay.

Thank you guys in advance for the advice, I hope to give Robbie a nice, happy life!

Looking for an absolutely hold-your-breath novel

I haven’t read as many thrillers as I’d like to in life, it’s a genre I REALLY enjoy, but can’t seem to find books in that I can read for more than a few chapters.

For context, some of my favorite authors include Haruki Murakami and Albert Camus (if that’s any help for my normal writing-style taste). I’m looking for a well written and ANXIETY INDUCING thriller of any sub genre with an emphasis on psychological thrillers if possible. I attached my current “next-ups”. I’m going bookstore hopping next week and hoping to look out for some specific novels!

Confusion with being perceived

I don’t really want to go into the full story, it’s more of the principle that I’m concerned about. A very close friend of mine confronted me (over text and refused to do it in person), telling me that my actions caused them to feel disappointed in me. How do you handle negative perceptions as someone with BPD?

It’s been running me entirely since it happened and I don’t know how to handle it like a normal person. I’ve convinced myself that these negative traits are now stuck to me for the rest of my life and that friends view me this way permanently. What’s worse is there are things that were said that blamed me for things I had done, that I know for a fact I did NOT do, but when I tried to explain my side, I got shot down and it seemed to make them even more upset that I was even attempting to defend myself. Granted I was hysterical and should not have responded with heightened emotions + taken accountability first and FOREMOST (I sent a text much later taking accountability and apologizing). Even through that, I still blame myself for it and wonder if maybe I am just not a great person all around.

This is so hard to process because I have friends that love me and think I’m a wonderful person, but now the thought of “are they just telling me that” won’t leave me be.

The main advice I was seeking was just perception. How do you handle confrontation? Especially when you know it will change the way someone perceives you.

Woodstock show, 07/24

To anyone that attended the Woodstock show on July 24th, have you gotten your refund from the original Levon Helm show yet? Me and my partner were starting to get a little worried because it’s been over two weeks and we still haven’t gotten our $130 back from the original tickets we purchased. I even emailed them (attached below), and got no response.

I understand there’s a bit of controversy going on regarding that venue, but to not respond to a professional email is so worrisome considering so many people bought tickets initially. ;(
