Several sprouts from the same spot?

I did a hard prune recently and my jade have been experiencing some explosive growth since. There are several new sprouts all growing out of the same spots and out of each other. I'm not sure if this is good for them and I should get rid of some or not?

Hello everyone! I have some canvases heading my way, which are 55% linen/45% cotton, 280g/m2 and primed with 3 layers of transparent acrylic primer. A few tiny ones of those are canvases stretched on boards and one larger one is a proper stretched canvas. The listing on the store page says it can be used with oil, acrylics, tempera, gouache, oil pastels and acrylic markers.

I'm wondering, would it be a good idea to paint on those with gouache paints? I have heard before that gouache aren't typically used on a canvas. For additional context info, I am seeking to paint in a bold, less realistic style. Would appreciate your folks insights, I'm happy to learn!

I'm wondering, what do other artists think would be the best paint/medium to use on those canvases? I was thinking about gouache at first but I have read that gouache isn't the best for canvases. Would appreciate your folks insights, I'm happy to learn!

▲ 3 r/zoloft

I started taking Zoloft in February and was gradually upping my dosage from 25mg to 100mg in about a month or so. I'd say that it does seem like it has helped with motivation and anxiety, I certainly have less bad days now. Unfortunately, I keep experiencing some unpleasant side effects:

Rapid weight gain. I have gained 4 kg during this time, which is very strange for me, as my weight wasn't changing during the past decade. My clothes certainly don't fit as well anymore and I am concerned about gaining weight any further

Sweating after 10 minutes of any physical activity, including walking

Spotting. I am on dienogest due to endometrioma which is likely the cause for random spotting that I tend to experience. It's something I get randomly but it's heavier and much more frequent on Zoloft

So I've been wondering if these side effects are a good enough reason to slowly stop taking Zoloft? I'm honestly thinking about stopping taking antidepressants entirely at the current moment. I wonder if 3 months were enough for Zoloft to cause some longer term benefits?

I've been trying to download some games today but it just can't start the download for whatever reason. Keeps saying it can't connect to network (despite the 3DS connection test saying Wi-Fi works fine) and trying to restart the download to no avail
