Do a lot of bug species survive outside in the winter? I live in the northwest US and I feel bad putting bugs outside bc they’ll probably die even though I’m not directly killing them :(

Depends on the bug and where you put them. Some will die if it's cold enough. If you can, put them somewhere sheltered with lots of places to hide. In/on a shed, wood pile, leaf litter, on/near trees or shrubs, in patches of tall/dry weeds/grasses etc.

Do you have any tips for dealing with grief, Frank? I’m really gonna miss you. You’re my favorite robot.

It's good to talk about your feelings and have people around who can listen.

Where can we see the list of terminated blogs?

the list will be made available after the data is analyzed, and both the list of terminated blogs, as well as our findings and results, will be made available in this blog (monstercangirlofficial) in a public document. hopefully this will be done in less than a week. i'm nearly done analyzing the first form (termination submission form), and now we're verifying the nearly 900 responses to the second form (fear of termination), so that will take a bit longer. we've verified the first 300ish blogs. i'm both verifying blogs and analyzing data rn, and i think this all will be done before next friday, hopefully sooner. sorry for the ranty response

I was wondering why you don’t want to be called the terms mentioned in your bio and if you have terms to describe your ethnic identity that you prefer?

desi see here because even if people here use the word it's not as an ethnic identifier that's honestly more a diaspora or really online mainlander thing it means nothing 2 me if anything it's a descriptor of a specific pinterest aesthetic at this point. poc just doesn't make sense cause I reside in my country of origin I'd be far more open to even considering it if I were in a white country. just stick to indian it's ok lol

I was wondering if you have any tips for figuring out if you’re a system? I wonder every so often but it’s been years and if I have alters, they haven’t made themselves known, so probably not? But then why do I have experiences that make me wonder sometimes?

Hello! So sorry this took so long to get to, we've been dealing with a lot of low-spoons episodes so the inbox has been neglected.

The above is a questioning resource, formatted as a checklist of questions that may point you toward you being plural or not. Remember that you don't need to rush questioning, and you don't need to fit every criteria to be plural.

Do you have any tips or a guide for describing art/music/subjective things?

With art I start by conveying what technique is being used - does it use a lot of warm tones? Are the lines neat or scratchy? Are the colors bright or desaturated? Then I will write up a short description, and draft it to come back later to review what I wrote before. (Personally I'm really bad at noticing detail so it does take me 5+ times checking it back over - I'm working on one now that has 5 antique textiles with detail close-up pictures included, and I did 5 sessions just on the first one. It's going to take me a while to finish. But I know I'm bad at details and I want to get it right.)

With music, unless there's something interesting as a focal point, a few words can get the point across. Upbeat vs slow, haunting, hard rock, that kind of thing. Context can also help, esp with background music, like maybe it sounds like bouncing circus music, or creepy scratchy violins like in a horror film. That plus the genre usually gets the point across.

If it's truly subjective I will say something like "seeming to bring across the idea that X" or something similar. I don't like to state an opinion as fact in a description, but typically the symbolism will be trying to say something.

Hopefully this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
