The People’s Butterfly!

Zero respect for any carnists who clutch their pearls about this. Especially if they aren’t even fundamentally opposed to keeping animals in zoos in the first place

The lovely Dr. Partner is out of town for a few days and I have already fully descended into gremlin mode. I look forward to pushing the boundaries of how garbage a human being I can be for nearly a week

They have tv commercials that don’t feature only white people

15 minutes after the world’s first window was invented and installed, a fly got trapped inside and tried to get out before the window was opened and two more flies flew in

On the plant side of conservation this is absolutely true. Larger long lived trees are so much harder to keep alive until they can fend for themselves than grasses and shrubs in a lot of contexts

This is the pov of a wolf pup who has been caught doing something bad and is being lectured by their parents

It’s only a supervillain accessory when your target isn’t just doing a controlled burn during forest management or wildfire control. This set up plus a drip torch isn’t super uncommon, other than the surfactant. Plus I’m pretty sure anyone could outrun someone wearing it, but I also would have said that about chasing someone with a can of gas

Use a backpack sprayer with kerosene, gets the distance you require and kerosene is only flammable instead of explosive like gasoline. Bonus points if you want to use some kind of surfactant to increase the stickiness, though that will probably wreck the entire set up after a few uses

I’ve said it before but just because it keeps being relevant:

I watched a documentary as a kid about the experience of civilians in Europe during WW2, featuring a lot of interviews. Just about the only part of it I remember is a German lady describing how the Nazi government would report on every battle as a victory, but it was only as each successive victory got closer and closer to Berlin that people began to reject the narrative as presented to them.

I sometimes wonder if western libs are capable of this type of realization at this point, and also if so what massively unignorable situation would cause it.

Beloved by whom?!

Must not pet the friendly wolf’s tum

Today as I was pulling onto the highway I noticed a small ladybug on the side mirror. It was doing a great job just hanging in there for a while, probably a few minutes. I kept looking over at it when I could safely get the chance. Eventually I looked over and it was gone. I know they can fly, but there was a lot of traffic and I don’t expect anything good happened to it.

I felt bad, and really empathize with the little guy. Trying your best to do the only thing you know, getting swept along by some unknown and unstoppable force into certain danger at high speed

Ok, we get it, you take amazing selfies. Way to flex, geez

General Anxiety?

I can’t believe how quickly the lathe works. Now I just need to focus all my energy on the name Hogg Crankley until it is released

Somehow not gross enough
