I live in the Malvern area. I took a video of it but I don’t think posting it would help much. It ran off before I could get a decent video. I hope its a marten but dread that it may be Fisher Cat. Does anyone know if we have Fisher Cats in Scarborough? I’m just worried it may try to eat my cat. I don’t what else the little bastard would want in my backyard anyway.
My cat was chasing a stone marten tonight. I know these creatures can carry diseases like rabies, but can they cause severe physical injuries to my cat? I've seen them hunt hares in documentaries and those hares were quite big.
My husband has massive gender dysphoria and recently came out as nonbinary (he/him), which isn’t an issue. The issue is he can’t hold a job down and now we’re losing the flat because of his loss of employment due to discrimination in his last job.
To be blunt, he’s .. quite open. He spoke openly about his sexuality (bisexual) and gender identity in his last workplace office and it offended the manager. He also has super long hair, likes wearing lots of makeup, and dresses “traditionally feminine”, minus skirts and such.
He has a job interview today. We were told if he can’t secure this job, we’re most likely gonna lose the flat. He says he wants to wear makeup for the interview which is fine, but I admittedly was cringing inside because I knew how he does it.
He emerges happily from the bathroom with knee-high shiny high-heel boots, bright pink eyeshadow, sparkles scattered across his entire face, and deep cat liner. I stopped him and asked if he was actually going to walk into the interview like that and he got immediately angry and started yelling at me, before sulking to the sink to wash his makeup off. He’s also opted for doc martens instead of the boots.
The thing is, I don’t really care what he identifies as and all other days happily go out with him when he’s dressed like that. But I feel terrible telling him not to be himself for the sake of his employment and a flat. It was already hard enough for jobs to take him seriously before he properly came out due to his super long hair, but now it’s worse. And we kinda can’t afford right now for a job to find a reason to discriminate against him, as wrong as that sounds.
AITA?
TLDR: husband needs to get job or we’re at risk of losing flat. He’s eccentric and tried going to a job interview dressing so, so I told him to change
UPDATE: he just got back from his job interview and seems in higher spirits. He apologised for yelling at me and told me he understands where I was coming from. He’s still adamant he didn’t feel himself, to which I’ve offered to sit and help him find inspo online/practice new looks together. He’s happy to! He said the interviewer was an old traditional lad, so he was actually glad I convinced him to change. Apparently it went really well and they got on good. Thank you for all of the responses. Take care and stay safe everyone. :)
SECOND/FINAL UPDATE: whoa. I turned off notifications when he came home and there was only about 100 upvotes or so. Just saw this now and di

It’s back to back Faction Introductions! This time, Matt tackled the Argent Flight answering the question “What is Base Game Xxcha was good and fit Matt’s playstyle?” These are wonderful little birds that have a wide range of possibilities but are perhaps best served by leaning into their strengths and playing up some “win-more” mechanics.

I would have a daughter
Hello! I’m looking for a birthday gift for my friend. 35 yo. She’s an architect, works for the fashion industry planning shops for brands like Gucci Saint Laurent etc. You can consider her fashionable but she prefers items that are classic and durable and mostly suitable for all genders (think doc martens and levis). She doesn’t really care for her appearance I think. She likes to travel but right now can’t. No boyfriend. Has a cat. Has her own house. Likes to play tennis. Likes eating and drinking and events that involve this, she likes to be with her friends and is fun to be around. Usually go to lots of music festivals and concerts but.. covid (favorite music is indie and cool bands I’m not familiar with)She has some small tattoos. My budget is 60-70€ so a little small for a timeless piece. Help please, we are friends for 20 years now and have her everything under the sun!
But Bill kept the Windows
True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."
I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"
He responds, "it's dead grass."
I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"
.
.
.
He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.

Lot of assumptions in that title that I'm sure will get some responses on its own. Regardless, this is our first Galactic Council episode in our new format! This is an unprepared episode where Matt and Hunter blindly approach a topic and see where the conversation takes them. It was wildly fun to do, so we hope you enjoy it and look forward to future Galactic Council episodes.

Kneel, they say. Former rules of the galaxy, they say. Well, with such powerful lore, you may have expected a more imposing faction. But instead, the Mahact Gene-Sorcerer’s are perhaps best known for their winslaying prowess and their rules tomfoolery. Let’s take a closer look and figure out how this faction can help themselves win without tripping over pedantic technicalities along the way!

The Galactic Council decided that this month you all needed to be punished. So Hunter and Matt are putting on their designer caps and improvising a Homebrew faction. We took Whose Line Is It Anyways?-style prompts on our Discord and just dove right in. And you know what, I think we came up with something PRETTY GOOD. If...you know, you’re into game-breaking unplayable ideas...

The conclusion to last week’s cliffhanger, we wrap up discussion on every objective in the game, and spend some time analyzing what the structure of all of these points means for the pace of winning. When and how should you be trying to score your 10 victory points? What is a “free” point? Also there’s some errata at the beginning here about the Galactic Council episode we recently published and the...disagreements that have grown around it.

The fact that we’ve never done an episode specifically about Objectives and Victory Points is either a huge misstep, or completely unnecessary. But here’s one anyways! This is part one where we go over all of the types of victory points, and cover our first section of objectives: Control Objectives. We talked way too much, and so this episode turned into a two-parter.
