Mosquito Bucket Challenge - Homegrown National Park Natural mosquito control: The Mosquito Bucket Challenge is a safe, affordable way to control mosquitoes without harming kids, pets, or pollinators.

Instead of spraying for mosquitos this summer, try the Mosquito Murder Bucket!

It's cheaper than paying a company and doesn't kill all of the beneficial insects in the area.

1) thank you a million for this

A particularly nasty smiley was making its way through the cold. Sid needed someone on the inside.

Dax was a musket. One of the best. Not great in the corp world, but if you wanted someone to talk their way past a room of armed guards with a clipboard and a smile, it was Dax you called.

Cyberpunk cockney rhyming slang:

The cold = the internet. From cold and wet.
Corp/corporate = hacking. From corporate backing.
Smiley = virus. From Miley Cyrus.
Varnishing = Cracking. From varnish and lacquer.
Musket = social engineer. From musketeer.

Photographed from above a fluffy black cat is half-curled up clockwise with back feet extended and front feet pulled into bunny paws over his nose in a most adorable fashion. Cat is on a quilt of green red and blue patterened squares with mostly white border.

Seriously. Just because you wouldn't want to live like that doesn't mean everyone who does is messed up

exactly! if *you're* frightened by it and want it to change, then it would be good for you to learn to depend on others

but if it's just other people who are frightened by you... that's fine? they don't have to be like you?

okay, I can see that being true for some people. but reaching out can also be what burns people out. it strikes me as very odd to assume people need to be more reliant on others just because some people prefer that type of interaction

being independent will sometimes be a problem

depending on other people will also sometimes be a problem

some people would rather deal with problems alone than have to deal with problems in a group. that's a preference, not a disorder

02.03.2026 00:44 👍 33 🔁 0 💬 3 📌 0

okay? but this is presented in a weirdly circular way: when one is very independent, one doesn't depend on a lot of people, and therefore one doesn't have many people to depend on... but a person who likes being independent doesn't want to depend on people. so why assume this is bad & pathological

my dilute tortie cat, her spine conforming, exactly to the curve in my pillow

The same cat, pressed up against the same pillow, but looking at me and wondering why I'm pointing my phone a few inches from her face when she's just trying to take a nap

I have one of those pillows with the crescent curve designed for side sleepers. It's very comfortable. It's also very comfortable for my cat

Gah. I hate how often I see friends go through this rigamarole of pushing to get imaging done, it showing something abnormal, then watching the doctor dismiss the findings as insignificant

DESPITE the patient being symptomatic and going OUT OF THEIR WAY to have the diagnostic test performed

I was very confused the first time I, a forensic DNA analyst who overwhelmingly deals with civilian courts, was involved in a court martial that included criminal charges for adultery

this was many years ago, early in my career, when I had no idea there was an extremely different legal system

Three Burmese cats in a round cat bed. The two brown ones are being book ends for and looking back at the platinum one, lying the other way in between them.
