the neotropical realm covers the vast region of south and central america, the carribean and southern mexico and holds some of the most distinctive floras on earth. orchids, tropical rainforests, rich soil, cacao, dense high altitude forests, thorn scrubs and fire and drought adapted savanna plants

when i think of this region i remember it mostly through scent memories collected through extensive hikes.

i have absolutely no game but im hot. what can i do? there is a flinta cruising night at my local gay bar but i dont know what is expected of me or how to approach anyone. any pointers for me?

i have wasted many years as a serial monogamist, now is my time to shine

im sure this happened today. with bikes could be likely as well. is there a way to exit?

I am watching her and really trying to learn and copy some things for myself. Does this woman have nerves of steel? She is irritated, upset, unfairly treated, dealing with an utter man child that is whiny and unreasonable af but she manages to stay calm, she doesn’t explode, she barely even rolls her eyes at him. she self-regulates, internally, she stays true to and sticks up for herself without losing composure. she is honest. i feel like ive almost given myself a seizure with the deep constant eyerolls this manchild has caused me do

humor: dry
attitude: cool af
style: on point

im manifesting her a hot chivalrous man who is emotionally intelligent.

Hi r/AskAnAmerican!

Genuine curiosity, not trying to call anyone out.

While traveling or living in different cities around the EU, I've noticed some small things that suggest US culture often gets treated as the unmarked "default" internationally. For example, a "Top 100" chart will often mean top 100 in the US without saying so, while other countries' charts get explicitly labeled. Or sometimes there's an assumption you can pay in USD in places that don't use dollars. In the beginning of the year there was a big sports event that caught a lot of attention in the US and my USAmerican friends thought we would’ve also heard about this. Or they are surprised when we don’t understand pop culture references specific to the US. These types of things.

Is this something you're aware of / think about, or does it just not come up day-to-day? Would love to hear different perspectives, especially if you've traveled or lived abroad.

first if all - i am not arab. so i am already nervous that this can turn out to be a bit of a problematic affair 😅 but this is my arabs friends’ wishes so i will comply

we are a funny bunch and i am looking for a humorous approach to any of the aladdin characters.

any ideas you could share or tips to give me? i am awful at costumes so i will probably just make something from scratch throwing together whatever i have at home to conjure a … butch jasmine?!

whether you post or these images pop up on your feed - always remember this is an exchange of energies and you may open yourself up to mal intentioned ones.

ways to protect yourself will differ depending where in the world you are or your lineage’s / own intuitive practices, its not for me to tell you whats best but this was important for me to emphasize on, because of a post on here that set off alarm bells heavily, as it followed me into my home.

the image was inside someone’s house and an immediate darkness pulled over me, despair in the pit of my stomach. i commented. i felt that darkness wanting to seep into me, my home. so i went back to the post to delete my comment and block the OP, said some protective prayers for her home, life and family. i did my practice to establish boundaries and protect my spiritual intentions and invited light into my home and heart.

ive been on this sub quite a few times and have had some nice exchanges on here as well as intuitive practices but this experience truly set something off.

please take care of yourself ♥️

EDIT: while i have done this one other occasions gladly - please do not msg me for readings after reading this post, i will just block you as i got heavily freaked out in this sub and need a moment, thank you for understanding

I absolutely love the classic Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Hair and Skin oil, it is my go to when I want to freshen up my hair a little and add a little glow to my skin. It is so subtle yet so sensual and my skin and hair love it. I haven’t tried sunset bliss - I can’t find this close to me but I would potentially blind buy this as the description sounds so good. What are your opinions on it?

did people come down with this after all?

pride is coming up. i know many of you who will be going to IQPB after.

be mindful that the whole insta story is disregarding the severity of this virus and how easily it spreads. its insanely irresponsible.

norovirus can survive on surfaces for weeks. it spreads when you come in contact with tiny invisible particles of stuff like vomit or feces, especially when sharing water or food, touching surfaces, touching faces… **think of dusty dancefloors** - thats so much dirt flying in everyone’s face upscaling this lovely virus to basically airborne.. contaminated surfaces will be everywhere, and we will be touching each other everywhere all the time **think of muddy wet bad weather circumstances the shower facilities and dear lord all that we need to be doing to do what we want to be doing** - that will help norovirus so much to spread as we will just slush around in that stuff and leave it everywhere..

..all while we are collectively shutting down our immune systems by drugs, lack of sleep, lack of hydration and so on.

i have guestlist so its easy for me to decide not to go. but had i paid, i think id tie myself down at home to not go.

i live in berlin, i dont want to bring this shit back to my loved ones and further, i need to be present for IQP (and honey, so do you)

post pandemic we unfortunately need to be more mindful and disciplined about what we can do to stop another agonizng health crisis.

whole team says to use hand sanitizer and wash hands often 🥴 **hand sanitizer does not effectively work against this virus** and we will literally be in muddy waters together.

No judgement please, ich weiß schon selbst dass ich verschissen habe. Mein Opa ist 92 und top fit. Er hat mich gedrängt eine Urlaub in der Eifel zu buchen und mir irgendein Kaff-Hotel geschickt und jetzt stecken wir ohne Auto in Kyllburg fest. Morgen fahren wir bis nach Trier um Fahrräder auszuleihen, werden aber vorher die Stadt erkunden. Wir haben schon beide Trier besucht, das heißt Porta Nigra und Liebfrauenkirche haben wir schon gesehen.

Irgendwelche netten Tips die ihr mit uns teilen würdet? Bitte <3 Mein Opa ist mein bester Freund und ich würde ihm gerne eine gute Zeit bereiten, ich brauche dabei etwad Hilfe!!

Edit: Danke Trier - so viele tolle Tipps und ich denke wir haben einen Plan für morgen 🫶🏽

🚨slight spoiler alert🚨
warning - positive rant incoming! also

the tiny suitcase wedding-invite??? with the tiny little items packed into the tiny suitcase???

i know i’ve gushed about miniatures before, but seeing paula’s practice of tiny manifestations doesn’t need to make full sense for me to be into it. i also kind of get how it’s a nice focusing and motivational practice, to have what you want right in front of you.

i am SO adopting this in my life and will finally have an excuse/legitimization of collecting miniatures in a way that’s not going to get too excessive as it’ll be solely be what i want to manifest 🎀

what are some fun little habits or so you’ve learnt or even picked up for yourself from watching 90df?

this timeline is absolutely horrifying. i live in germany - the most rightwing party is polling the highest, nazi rhetoric is chic again, life is so draining and it’s impossible to save money or think about the future… mass organizing isnt urgent enough and theres so much petty fighting going on.. when i do have some summer joy and feel slight hope the heatwave melts my hopes and dreams away.

i just saw a video of someone on an animal rescue farm snuggling a duck. i want to snuggle ducks, i want to feel safe, i want others to feel safe, i dont want to be afraid of my neighbors anymore.

how are you all holding up? any other brown queers in germany in here?

is anyone reading this in safe queer paradise enjoying life? pls dm me and let me apply, im joyful and love cleaning

she is so locked in i really just love to see it. this is her passion, pays her bills, shes not on the boat for a holiday!! she honestly makes me motivated to follow my passion and not get distracted, been following a new career path and feeling quite deflated - this is really the first time one the show that someone really inspires me.

wait - besides gael and captain sandy 😅

its been a rough few years, im schizoaffective type depressive, a burn out fucked me over hard and i had a lengthy psychotic episode followed by a depressive hole i am slowly recovering from. the meds help, though mostly they change the symptoms more than they make them disappear (btw is this normal?)

i am getting back into my social life, and political organizing which i used to do a lot of and its honestly some kind of therapy as it gives me hope and inspiration and motivates me hard to take care of myself.

i get a lot of positive feedback, im doing great projects, i love my friends and comrades and community. but lately i only have capacity for things in non-social settings. i can do a plenary and a fundraiser but i cannot hang out my friends. i am too weird. i cant stop these thoughts. i dont wanna go home and endlessly spiral after being weird.

i isolate more and more and dodge all the social things. even my sister i barely hang out with, i feel horrible after more than an hour and just altogether make excuses to not meet. no one realizes smth wrong with me when hanging out but i cant.

is this the case for anyone else?
