    That one looks like it possibly is diseased. It can be contagious I would definitely isolate that one I would be scared of leaving it near any other Cacti. Depending on the vector for the disease it could potentially spread to any plant not exclusively cacti

    There is a very wide range of things that can cause witches broom, some of them like Fungi, Nematodes, Molds, Yeasts, Mites, Virus can be very contagious. In cacti I gather its usually a fatal condition.

    Apparently in some trees people have grafted pieces of witches broom and resulted in a non diseased but heavily mutated form, could be worth a try. By the sound of that the disease may attack the genetics of a plant resulting in a permanent mutation even if it survives the disease

    Pros: They are gorgeous, they don't make much noise and the noise they do make is normally amusing, they don't destroy your garden like chickens, and they are so cool to have around

    Cons: They shit on things a bit but not too horribly. They can get a bit brave once they are really used to you and they might walk around inside your house if they can let themselves in lol, and the males are sexually deviant. (They rape each other, they group rape, they commit necrophilia, although its not a daily occurrence and you might not ever see it, its weird when you do)

    Ours were natives so we didn't feed them, but that didn't stop them going for the cats food. I reckon they are awesome pets

    I've had the opposite experience where all the rad gardeners I am related to, I know socially and myself are female identified, I only know a small handful of men personally who have any green thumb.

    I feel like there probably isn't an uneven distribution across gender its just who we have gravitated to associating with.

    Although I do notice that communities like this one tend towards being male dominated and female gardeners tend to stay more in their own spheres

    Quickly made an addition to the Trade reputation for those funky seeds :)

    My favourite right now is this big bag of cuts I got today that I'm super stoked with, my collection is growing :)

    I want to get my own land to run in my own personalised permaculture model too but I haven't come very far towards that goal yet.

    You can change career at any time, study at any stage of your life. Whatever you do now you don't have to do it for any longer than you need to. You can do multiple things at once if you feel like it. While you are figuring out whatever achievements or awesome things you want to apply your life to you may as well look around you and enjoy it until whatever those goals are strike you, I think your current plan sounds great
