Tonka beans are illegal to sell in food, but you can get them shipped online and use them in your home kitchen. I'm in the US and I have some in my pantry right now. I've tried them in cookies but I'll try them in ice cream too, thanks for the tip!

Yes that sub was my inspiration, I missed it after I moved to the fediverse. I hope more people eventually find their way here!

Me too!! I especially love the asymmetry of their lips. It's the antithesis of using makeup to 'correct your features', I love it so much!

Wow I've never heard of these types of toys!! I just went down a rabbit hole looking at people playing with them. They look very elegant. Do you have a fave?

Thank you! I am always curious about what other people have in their bags and pockets. REI is the best!! Unfortunately I got my bag over a decade ago at a thrift store, but I did find a similar one on poshmark. Mine is an earlier iteration of this one with a stitched logo, but everything else looks the same. It's indestructable, the only wear is the coating on the innermost pocket is beginning to peel, and the printed design on the front has faded off.

An omniverous plant that also eats garbage?? Sign me up! 😂

I had two cats from the same litter who had opposite personalities, just like your two. They were both fixed as kittens. The male was very aggressive with play and dominant, he would try to hog everything. The female was very calm and gentle, though she would fight back if the male was being a brat. I had to feed them in separate rooms, also play with them separately. They occasionally played together, but not much, even as adults. I used a spray bottle to deter bad behavior like biting. I got a big glove to use when rough playing with the male. They eventually worked out a heirarchy amongst themselves for cuddles, but they were always very different personalities. The male calmed down as he got older, but it took time.

Point being, yours may never gel and get along to the point of you being able to have them do everything together, and that's ok. But I think your intuition is right, he will calm down as he gets older and is fixed.

That's so odd! I've refreshed a bunch and nada!

Universally, no. I do think it has to do with sleeping conditions through childhood though. My partner needs quiet to sleep, while I enjoy lectures or poscasts.

Yes, turning trash to treasure is one of my hobbies too. Nice work on getting this tricky backlit shot! I'm a fan of the film grain look. Have you experimented with ilford's fiber paper? This would also look interesting as a cyanotype.

Ah, the frankenblåhaj.

It's a process, hope you're enjoying figuring yourself out!
