There's a ladybug following me everywhere since yesterday.
She roamed near me as I did a video call from my child's room yesterday morning.
Today she flew on my computer monitor and wandered around for a bit. Then I went to shower and she followed me to the bathroom, planting itself on the window. She's very cute.
Do you have any ladybug care tips? How can I help her with food and water?
(My mom says it's still too cold to bring her outside... my 5-year-old is smitten too) đ
Not sure elsewhere, but in my culture, ladybugs are "good luck" symbols.
And supposedly they eat the bad bugs that kill plants, so if you have a plant somewhere, put it there. It'll help you.

I have a potato rock, too! It looks so real I could easily try to eat it by mistake. đĽ đ¤ŁDoes your potato have little dips or dimples? Those could be just right for ladybug water cups.
@_elena
Photographic proof!
I actually have two potato rocks/rock potatoes: a Yukon gold and a baby red. -

@_elena In some traditions (sorry, don't remember which ones, just heard that and remembered the fact) ladybugs are considered as a spirit of, or a sign from, our loved deceased. đ
@agturcz@circumstances.run @_elena@mastodon.social Yeah i read that on a chinese slice of life web comic... Any insect, really. Butterflies, dragonflies, beetles. I think that it is a very nice way to think of both insects and remember your loved ones.
Sadly it's probably not possible to care for a ladybug unless you have a plant infested with aphids. They are tiny predators. Their larvae even more, to the point they are called aphid lions in German. -

I can really recommend this for a healthy wholesome portrayal of relationship. Its both nerdy and very romantic.

@_elena@mastodon.social I don't have any tips, but they are a type of beetle so it might be worth consulting a Japanese schoolboy. They're experts!

@_elena That is indeed a very potato-ey rock.
Iâm sure the ladybug wonât mind admiring it from afar. đ

@_elena I saw a ladybug outside today in the Netherlands. We have some relative warm days though, at the moment.

I have some aphids she can eat.
Actually, such a bummer, we made it most of the winter without an outbreak and now we're overrun with them. I think they might have come in on a live parsley plant I planted last month.

@zuru thanks for the advice! I asked my mom if I could put the nice ladybug on the basil plant my mom keeps downstairs but got a firm no.
I was careful with water and sprinkled the makeshift home i made for her with literally 3 drops... but she wasn't all that interested and hasn't visited me in my room all afternoon đĽ˛

Liz Fong-Jones says:
> we need to ramp up the pressure to tax these companies and fund a UBI *now*. if we don't, by the time they've already eliminated these jobs it will be too late, and they'll hold all the cards.

I agree.
I wrote a piece recently called "A letter from 2016 to 2026" about a fictional person (not me, but based on conversations I was having) writing a letter to open 10y later https://dustycloud.org/blog/a-letter-from-2016-to-2026/
Part of it is the *promises* we were made of what life with AI was going to be like.
Liz highlights UBI as necessary here, and it's actually correct FROM THEIR ARGUMENTS. All the big CEOs of tech were talking up UBI as the answer to what would happen when AI automated everything. So we should hold them to account.
(They also said we'd be automating away the tedious stuff so we can focus on creative things like writing, code, artwork, and music. Oops! Funny how that worked out, huh?)
