I am like you, also wanting a signal before interacting.

I think for me, a big reason is because I’m autistic and I won’t be able to perceive any ‘cues’ from other people, so I default to assuming they don’t want to talk unless they’re extremely explicit about the opposite.

But I think a lot of people also look for a signal, they’re just better able to read it from body language and whatnot?

That’s adorable! Does anyone know what kind it is?

This year we made a jackdaw friend in our garden. We can feed it directly from the hand and it’s comfortable around us.

Jackdaw in Swedish is Kaja (sounds kinda like “Kaia”)

We named it Kajko (kaiko). I liked the name and now I’m using it.

It’s weird but I’m the same way with purple. My favourite colour that I don’t ever wear.

I’m not American so I grew up hearing about peanut butter from their media. I made up this amazing idea of it, which was completely shattered when I finally tasted it.

It’s probably one of those acquired tastes like Australians with Vegemite (which I also tried according to recommendations but I probably just needed to go back in time and be born in Australia).

I still dream of tasting my imaginary peanut butter.

Thank you, “V&V” was completely undecipherable to me.

Impressive! And yet the plant seems happy up there?
