I heard Lemmy broke something with the latest update. My understanding is that there was a larger update which temporarily removed captcha, and Lemmy opted to just deal for a few days rather than go through the inevitable wave of spambots.
I like this idea, we should as an instance write down core values, maybe about half a dozen, that we would like to abide by.
Opuntia microdasys var. albospina, for those curious.
His name is Herman!
today was Niles and Chibi’s second tank day! I actually waited until the evening, but I got a bit impatient waiting for Niles to come out of the house; I handled him a little roughly and while I didn’t hurt him he was foaming up quite a bit. Putting him in the temporary tank helped a little, but he was still foaming so I picked him back up, held him in my palm, and stroked his shell. Immediately he stopped foaming and started crawling across my fingers! He gave my hand a couple of snail kisses and then I set him down to clean :)
Another cool thing that happened is that Chibi was feeling pretty energetic, and my partner agreed to hold her for the first time! They were both a little unsure at first but Chibi ended up doing happy wiggles 🐌 she stayed there for a min before coming back over to me.
The new water dish I ordered arrived too. It’s Barbie pink and super soft, shallow, and flexible. I’m not sure if the sniblings like it more than their jam jar lid, but I feel more at ease haha.
The sniblings also got a new roommate! I have been keeping an eye out for pillbugs and finally found one tonight, a pretty big boy too! I named him Gob. Hopefully they all get along! I want one or maybe two more pillbugs from my garden. I really hope that this will help cut down on the gnats swarming my patio somewhat 💀 taking away their food during the day helps but I feel bad doing it. I keep telling myself that they’re sleeping anyway and I make sure they eat every day lmao.
Wow if you read this far congrats and thank u lol. If you want to see more pics of these precious little slime balls I did make an Instagram for them: @thesupersniblings I’m not great at IG but I do want to post more over there too? anyway snail you later everyone!

Oh, nice. I might actually have a reason to start hoarding caches again...
This, this also plays into the age-old debates about intolerance of intolerance and “free” speech. “Free” speech means that you are free to say whatever you would like, as long as you are willing to accept the natural consequences, and tolerance is one of many other social contracts we have in place.
You are welcome to lie to someone, to call them names, to tell them awful things or to just spout bullshit all day. But the flip side of that is that people are also free to say what they will, and engage with who they want, and if you are a real asshole who finds issue with everyone very few people will willingly do so with you. In other words: don’t poke the bear, and you won’t get eaten.
