How to get rid of all of your extra stuff
You will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.

More about this quote:
Though I've been consulting for decades, I still sometimes fall victim to the Consultant's Curse
So, I experienced some self-esteem issues on my GeVo team back towards the end of 2023. A former teammate/friend got kicked from the team, he went to another team, spilled our secrets, and then talked trash about me. In the year after that, he stalked me on twitch (I blocked him on twitch, he then asked someone else to share my stream with him which I noticed in a shared server and blocked that person also), and then outed me to another teammate that I wasn't ready to do yet.
But he did say one thing that is now turning more and more to be true. That certain members of the team, who I don't talk to anymore, didn't like me for whatever reason, and strong armed our young captain to bench me. I don't know if it was for skill or what not, but I do know that my skill tanked once the former friend called me trash in front of another team and made insincere comments towards me in voice that same night, which I could tell sounded off. Didn't help that I was still getting used to being on estrogen and my mood swings were sometimes all over the place.
So the question now is...do I forgive I feel that I'm biased in the situation. But at the same time, if he was sincere, he would have listened when I told him to leave me alone. Instead he stalked me and outed me to people that I weren't sure I could trust. Not only that, but when I originally confronted him about his comments, he apologized for getting caught. He never apologized for what he said.
But again, I feel like I'm biased. A mutual friend has said that he hopes the two of us could be friends again, but I still don't believe it. To me there's a certain line you can cross that makes that impossible, and he crossed it multiple times.

AdviceI want to try to grow a few things this spring. But I have no experience.
I have a small back yard with rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, and birds. I'd like to grow cherry tomatoes and maybe potatoes. I'm thinking maybe in a couple of wooden half-barrels with chicken wire over the tops.
Should I put a layer of gravel in the bottoms and then cover it with landscaping cloth and topsoil Should there be a hole in the bottom to let excess water drain out Will I need stakes for the tomatoes Should they be heirloom
And what about the potatoes Bury them in dirt
Thanks for any advice!
yall it's my first ever and I wanna right something!
all my writing will end up on my website once that's up, but for the time being, any suggestions for places to host furry writing (hard worldbuilding, sometimes lewd) would be great. Feel free to plug places i've probably heard of too, i don't have accounts anywhere because I'm just starting my furry writing era.

I have a question about our 'moving house' plans, and I would welcome some thoughts about it.
We have a lot of stuff to get rid of, but also a lot of stuff, (furniture, workshop machines, steel and timber stock, heavy equipment, etc.) that will need to move with us.
My thoughts were to somehow find a local place that has shipping container storage, move it all there while clearing the house, and then move the shipping container when we know where we have moved to.
I don't know if there is such an option locally, at both ends.
I'd appreciate any ideas as to how to do this, or if you have companies that you are aware of that would work like this.
We are in the Greater Manchester are of the UK and moving to rural Wales.
Thank you.

I Burp My House Now
This is me asking for recommends for a second fedi instance to sort of get my writing out there more.
Should be:
- Okay w/ NSFW writing (I CW BC I'm not that kind of bish)
- Okay w/ me using it mostly to share work (this acct will remain my main obv)
- Not fash, not bigoted (obv)
- Medium size
I am not like, super tied to Masto for this. I've used Sharkey and it was cool just not for my main. I did like Blahaj, they were nice.
"Why not technical thing that I'm not asking abt"
Don't.
"Just add ppl to ur instance."
Could. Might. But we're small and group vibe, if ppl want to invite new speakeasers that is fine. But I would not for my own bene.
"Try Bluesky / Tumblr / AO3 / Other Not Fedi"
Hn. In order: No, fk Matt, not rly meant for OC, maybe but prob not.
"Show ur magnificent assets!"
Pfft they're B class, dummy. And nope.
Do you need to know who youd be without antidepressants
