As long as you do it through the proper channels. Dont show up at their house.
I don’t think most authors get as much attention as you would think so I feel like it would probably make a lot of them feel great to get some positive feedback from a fan.

Reply to comment by SassiesSoiledPanties in Trees could reduce mortality from urban heat waves by a third by YoanB
The problem with a plant like that is the line between helpful plant and invasive species would be very thin depending on where it landed. in my part of the world we have issues with palm trees choking out native species because they grow so fast.
There almost needs to be a different plant solution for each different geographical area using plants that are indigenous to the area

If your dad wants to sell purebred puppies he needs to be a bit more informed about how to prevent situations like this one. The fact he left you supervising this dog and the only instructions given to you was to use a BB gun any approaching animals was stupid AND negligent. Your father is a dumbass.

What if you don’t want to resist? I only resist eating unhealthy things, but am otherwise down for funtimes. Essentially if it doesn’t hurt anyone I will enjoy myself.

Actually sounds like it would be a great plot for a romance novel

Reply to I read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and I didn't find a deeper meaning in the story. Am I dumb? by -greek_user_06-
My favourite line is when Alice comments sometimes she feels like she has to run as fast as she can just stay in place.

If you want to be a good house guest: bring food, cook it, feed people, and wash dishes after, people never want you to leave.

You should see if you can sit in on some live model sessions in your area. Nothing beats drawing from life to figure out proper proportions.

Its low key chemical warfare, but more insidious.
Funny how the Fet imports that are the cause of our current opioid issues which are gnawing away at the foundations of our social structure all comes from there..

Divergence is the type of series that is written for 14 year olds but mostly gets read by bored 20+ year olds.
Now I read Lolita when I was 14 and that was a weird trip.

More toxic chemicals entered the ecosystem so you could use the phone/computer you made your comment on.

My mother died from an unrelated bad infection about a week after getting a terminal cancer diagnosis. She was all ready to do her best to fight that cancer and even was talking to me and my sister about finding cute head scarfs for her hairloss during chemo.
The number of people who thought it would make me feel better to say some version of “well at least she didn’t have to suffer through all that chemo and is in no pain now,” just made me so very angry, like who are you to say that she didn’t deserve the chance to fight her cancer? perhaps it would’ve been drawn out and painful but at least she would’ve been able to give it a fight.

So someone just died and I’m dealing with the grief of that, how do I solve that issue? Are you saying that I’m not allowed to have my grief?
Preventing someone from grieving actually hinders their psychological healing: sometimes you actually have to have feelings and work through them and not just dismiss them.

sure it’s just kids being dumb but in a nation where apparently you’re all carrying perhaps surprising people in public is a dangerous act? it’s the same logic we used to teach children not to poke bears…
and unlike a bear which is big and furry and easily identifiable it could be the little grandma who’s packing.
