photo of a beautiful gall sitting on a eucalypt. it's a bit hard to describe. iirc the female insect settles on a branch and manipulates the plant as it grows to create a weird organic house around her. this one looks like it has got strange squiggly tentacles of green and deep red sticking out of it. it looks a bit alien?
check out this cool gall i found 🌱
agaves 🪴 such a beautiful plant!

the average american brain is simply not equipped to deal with the rise of true crime.
I get that *some* people are *apparently* doing it properly (solving cases cops failed, exonerating falsely accused people, etc) 🙄 but that just says to me that we need to make a clearer line between journalism and entertainment
if i'm ever murdered and some asshole makes a true crime podcast about it, i am going to ruin their fucking life with unreal amounts of haunting. for real if you're reading this and i'm dead idc how cool or interesting my death was, keep my name out of your filthy ghoulish pig mouth. get a real job.
My first Holly Blue of the year in the garden yesterday. Sightings are normally just a blur in the sky so it was really nice to be able to get close to this female
Receiving a flu shot doesn’t just protect you, it protects all the people you would have passed your flu on to. Among those people may be some who are frail or old.
It takes five minutes, it may save a life and will certainly save some suffering.
Get a flu shot.
please, for real now. take a breath and reread what you wrote bc you absolutely did ask me to define terms. I'm going to mute you now bc this is clearly not a healthy interaction for you.
screenshot of their post where they explicitly ask me to define words to them
come on now
you asked me to define leftist so I did and now I'm lecturing you??? you're really too angry to have this conversation. lol i dare you to call an american anarchist or communist a liberal, I think they'll be happy to explain the difference to you.
gonzo the muppet wearing a suit. he is inside an ornate floral frame. below the frame is text that reads "gender failure". the image is textured to look grainy and printed.
gender failure gonzo
there's countless essays online disseminating the differences if you don't like this specific essay so don't use that as an excuse to write off what I'm saying.
also please cool off. you have no idea how old i am. there's no need to play "I'm more left wing than you".
at a very basic level, a leftist wants to completely uproot the capitalist regime and fights for social and economic equity. a liberal believes in incremental change and is far more willing to compromise. www.boshemiamagazine.com/blog/whats-t...
that's just straight up not true lollllllllllllll you're just mad at leftists
also the left has always been made up of differing ideologies? an anarchist is not a communist is not a democratic socialist, just as a liberal is not a leftist.
funny you mention the rest of the world bc in my country the liberals are our right wing party and anyone calling themselves a liberal is 100% right wing. seems more like america is finally catching up to the rest of the world.
VOLITION - No. Not a disaster. Weave this into the story of you. Walk out of its *ruins*. Save those who still can be saved -- *I'm* on your side.
Multiple angles of a ceramic sculpture of a griffin standing at attention, wings stretched out slightly, forming a heart shape. Its body is a warm brown with a light belly, pink-orange accents, and black tipped flight feathers. Big ole eyes stare back at the viewer. Illustrated all over its neck, wings, and back is foliage featuring the flowers and seeds of the American chestnut tree. Sculpted into its back is a candle holder with stars decorating the sides. A lit candle sits in the holder.
🌟 Fling Forward a Light 🌟
This sculpture is for the #UPwithART fundraiser supporting Unity Project London and Museum London in Ontario.
You can view all the work in person from April 17th-25th.

"They were so lucky I was looking"
Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.
It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
still can't believe "From The River To The Sea" became an outlawed phrase in Queensland (2yrs prison) in March. JFC. "Farnsy" flashmob yday allowed protestors to sing the phrase instead & kicks off 3 days of big protests. solidarity from Aotearoa New Zealand to all at Magan-djin/Brisbane 🇵🇸 protests!
Feminism has a huge capitalism problem.
If feminist values tell you judge a women because she won’t leave her husband/partner and you don’t have a way for that woman to support herself, and can’t guarantee her long term income (6-12 months). You’re offloading systematic problems onto the woman. 1/
It seem strange to me when westerners fret about the possibility of a country like, say, Iran having nuclear weapons.
Because the only country that’s ever been so reckless as to actually nuke anyone is the USA.
So really, they’re the only ones we know can’t be trusted with them.
A few more photos of Adelaide's grey-headed flying-foxes for International Bat Appreciation Day (17 April).
The last photo shows one drinking water off its chest after dipping into the river.
Another critter I'd love very much to make in bag form for someone! This is Uroballus carlei, the caterpillar mimicking jumping spider. Their longer abdomen would make them excellent for a backpack - more storage space! Anyone else think he looks like Appa? Yip yip!
