Still looks like a potato on my end, I can't read it :(

A lot of people don't get enough paid sick leave to cover 1-2 days off a month (maybe more depending on medical conditions like endometriosis). I know people that have to take unpaid sick days because of this, and others that take a lot of pain meds to be able to get through the work day. I'm fortunate that I do get more sick days than a lot of people in Canada but I still don't get enough to cover a day every month plus any additional I need to take for appointments, migraines, illness, etc.
I also can see the stigma these workers receive when they're so frequently absent from work, and a flexible work arrangement could help reduce that.
People can't afford to just take unpaid sick leave all the time, and when they're passed up for job opportunities because they're "unreliable" then that also doesn't improve their financial situations.
Merci buckets!
Not to mention they take so long to actually open up so you could chop off the peduncle before it blooms. It's weeks between peduncle formation and blooming :P
What do you mean? Don't you love getting taxed on your income twice? Once at the paycheque and once on the purchase?? So fun!
I'm having that issue on All, I can view Subscribed ok at least. I assumed it had something to do with me filtering out Trump but it's good to hear it's not just me.
Part of the issue for Canadians is lack of access to healthcare. My province has a waitlist that people are stuck on for 10+ years waiting for a general practitioner. Even people I know that do have a doctor aren't satisfied with the doctor, but they can't switch because of the lack of alternatives.
I live in Canada, the province I'm in is more on the humid side but nothing crazy. The humidity in my house is usually around 45-50%. My one ping was around a heat pump and has been doing fine, no issues with the bottled water yet 🤷♀️
The top one, the sundew! The ones I have aren't too bad honestly, I only have 4. Pinguiculas are the 3 I started with and the main thing to remember is they need low/no-mineral water (I honestly have just been using bottled since I had a case handy). They need neutral soil (plain sphagnum moss has been my go-to), and as long as they're kept relatively damp since they're naturally found in a swamp you're good to go!
They've been easy to take care of and I definitely appreciate them picking up the stray fungus gnats. If you're interested, definitely read up on them but they're honestly super easy to look after and have been a great starter carnivorous for me. I've heard sundews are even easier so I'll see how that goes!
I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but that sounds like a bit much...
Right?? I actually had one before that was getting pretty large but had to toss it because it became infested with thrips, so I thought I'd try again 🤞
Much, thanks!
