Birds also need clean water – if you live where it freezes in the winter, a heated bird bath will attract so, so many birds. In summer, put a fountain splasher in and you can attract hummingbirds as well. I wash the bath every day (just soap and water).

But the most comprehensive answer to support birds is to get rid of lawns and plant native plants and trees! When I owned a house, I worked to replace much of my lawn with native plants and smaller shrubs that supported birds (cover, places to perch, berries and seeds) and also supported bugs, etc that birds eat.

Within a year or two of planting lots of native plants, we were getting so many different varieties of bugs and birds (and other wildlife - toads, skinks, etc). Added bonus is selecting plants for your soil and light conditions so the plants I selected needed basically no attention once established: no watering in summer, no fertilizer, obviously no pesticides and just scattered straw in fall.

Your point is precisely why I voted against this law. Tried to argue it with some of my local friends but don’t think I changed any minds (unfortunately).

Covering sucks. Nursing is hot before you have to put a sweaty blanket on, babies want to make eye contact while they’re nursing because it’s about connection and not just nourishment and in my experience, once they’re old enough to grab the cover, they’ll just throw it off their face and expose your titty anyway.

As it turns out, having my tits out publicly didn’t lead to complete societal collapse, no matter how much I hoped it would.

I’m so sorry. You deserve to be able to life your life without fearing for your safety. Being followed around publicly is menacing enough, even without firearms in the equation.

Did the same thing. Fled a red state a couple years ago. I get that it’s a massive privilege but I spent years agitating and the writing was on the wall. Within 18 months of fleeing, they moved to outlaw affirming care for trans kids and adults. I miss owning a home, miss my garden, miss so many things about where I lived (and hoo boy the higher cost of living is a drain). But at least I know that my partner and I can access necessary health care and if my kid should ever need to, they will be able to, too.

Bonus, not paying taxes anymore to a state that would kill me sooner than grant me basic human dignity and bodily autonomy.

Beautiful! Love the bit of sparkle in the top!

Cute! I love the neon colors in your top! Hope you have a great pride!

I don’t know if Nebula is explicitly queer positive or there’s just less people, thus less jerks. My family signed up after watching a lot of creators on YT recommend it. So basically, we’re watching largely the same content but the creators get more money, we don’t have to sit through sponsored ads and we don’t have to sift through a bunch of terrible algorithm-based recommendations to get to the content we want to see.

I do wish it were easier to search for new content.

We did the bundle with curiosity stream and my kid loves a lot of those videos, too. It’s been worth it for us.
