I decided to get a norfolk pine. Not quite a berry bush or a flowering shrub, but still a little tree known to be happy indoors that gets decently big and looks a little bit like the outdoor plants in my region. :).

Good to know. That is one of the most interesting looking trees i’ve seen in a while. I hope you post updates about it.

Those trees are wild looking. Hadn’t heard of those before. I hope it blooms for you! Any idea whether or not they’re toxic to pets?

It looks like those (and unfortunately most of the common indoor fruits) are incompatible with pets. Appreciate the suggestion though

Bandcamp! It lets you download a few different file types.

Not sure about comics and movies, though. I would also like to know the answer to that one.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Don’t let him use alcohol as an excuse for pushing your boundaries. If this is how he’s acting around your family at a holiday, how will he act when you’re alone? Somebody worthy of you would never do this. You deserve someone who can drink without disrespecting your body and your birthday.

Regulation. People will always adapt, but imo this is firmly a policy and governance issue.
