  Shout-out to horses. They’re measured in hands (4 inches) but ONLY up to their shoulder. The neck, head, and ears don’t count towards their height.

  Same. I don’t have enough in my meme archive to try to resurrect it

  I can’t believe he was only 31. Like he didn’t seem that young at all to me

  Not quite old enough to form memories.

  Oh awesome. Hopefully they don’t ban vaccines for that list. Last time I had a simple cold I was almost hospitalized…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LPT: Go get a shot, now.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have the means to completely leave. I wish I did

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LPT: Go get a shot, now.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can someone from the US take a trip to Canada specifically to get vaccines? I have lupus and I really don’t wanna die from covid. I live in an area where people are ride or die Trumpers and don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨REDRUM⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had two hermit crabs when I was a kid and I adored them. My parents, my dad especially, was super into exotic animals and insisted that we go all-out on the lil dudes. We made them a crazy extravagant tank and they lived for like 5 years. They were unfortunately victims of a crazy snowstorm that left us without power for 9 days. Our 2 gorgeous saltwater fish tanks also died from that storm. I was devastated.

  Spinning the bag is also fun. Sometimes I spin it more than necessary just to be silly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely made the comment but I’m thinking that I didn’t do a reply, but a comment on the post overall. -_-

  The tax is in my profile. I just checked it. Don’t come after me DRS (Duck revenue service)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My girls tend to lay inside their house, but sometimes I’ll find eggs in random spots outside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lmao that’s hilarious and sounds right for pekins. My boi Salt is so chonky. I feed my birds by making piles of feed in different areas. He just barrels his way through the flock to get first pick of the piles. He eats like he’s starved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Duck tax sent in response to the first tax request comment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Chose pics from a span of 4 years that shows a variety of birds. The lil shits have been hard to get pics of lately because they’ve been acting spicy. I think the heat this summer is making them cranky.

  I have 9 birds now, all grown. 2 Muscovy females named Lady and Mama Duck. Mama Duck will fight anyone and anything she thinks is gonna mess with the flock. I caught her trying to fight a deer the other day when she escaped xontainment. One female Pekin named Judy, who judges the fuck outta me every time I see her. One male Pekin named Salt who is chonky. One female golden layer named Caprisun, who is by far the dumbest bird I’ve ever met. One male khaki Campbell named Pepper, who is bonded with Salt. One khaki Campbell female named Cayenne, who doesn’t have a super distinct personality. One mallard female named Amy, who looks like a male because when female duck ovaries die, they start to look like males. One female Cayuga named Chanel who is like Cayenne with no distinct personality lol.

  The real big one in the pics below was Antonio. A gigantic Muscovy male. Best bird I ever had. He was so happy and loved caring for babies and loved hugs and pets. When he had babies to care for, he was known as Big Papa Tony. He sadly passed this past winter.

  Yeah. Ducks are absolutely ridiculous creatures. My two pekins follow the cat motto of “if I fits I sits.” I find them in silly places all the time. The female, Judy’s, favorite place to sit outside is a hole she dug herself over a couple of months.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bird⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have ducks and they go absolutely crazy for watermelon. My neighbor gave me half a watermelon the other day because he couldn’t fit it in his fridge. I have it to the ducks and they went wild. Luke a cartoon style piranha feeding frenzy. The white birds looked like they’d been drenched in the blood of their enemies. One of them decided to sit in the empty rind after they were done and laid an egg in it, to assert dominance.

  They also love birdseed and peas. I had a duck who could recognize canned peas based on the labels and would flip out if he saw me approaching with them. He also adored bird seed and would help himself to the bag if it was in a place he could knock it over. Found him stuck in an empty birdseed bag once. It wasn’t empty that morning. Bro was a glutton, but he was a good boi.

  Best answer for that is: suffer

  Really makes a person stop and thing lmao

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose wisely⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you! I considered leaving the field, but I have worked too damn hard to get where I’m at to just give up now. I wanna be successful in this field as a big ol “fuck you” to everyone who said I would fail/not amount to anything. I’m also good at what I do and I really like the work, despite having shitty employers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose wisely⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I’m gonna be looking into other options cause this place blows. It was honestly a great place until I, politely and professionally, asked for more. Then it got hella toxic hella fast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose wisely⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m almost 4 years into my IT career and it’s been ROUGH. Especially because I’m a woman in a male-dominated field. I was treated like I’m dumb in so many interviews and faced blatant sexism. My fiirst job in the field fired me because they had to cut costs because the projects they were implementing cost an arm and a leg. My current job basically told me that I will not be advancing to a higher position (after I busted my ass for 2.5 years to try to learn enough to get promoted) and will not be paid what I, and my other disillusioned coworkers, think I deserve.

  But where can I get the LEGO pipette.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really don't want to talk about our problems⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m getting major surgery in two weeks and I’ll be on short term disability for an entire month afterwards. I’m honestly really looking forward to the time off, even if it’ll be full of physical suffering. My burnout outweighs the physical trauma of having nearly all of my reproductive organs removed.

  I’ve honestly been considering trying to find a race ar bed that’ll fit a queen size mattress.
