Wasps are so cute!

So cute!

They are just energetic cats. They only want you to respect their boundaries.

One landed on my leg and just wiggled its antenna before flying off.

Look at em! Tw: bugs, wasps, hornets.

Got these off the internet.

Check out the antenna on this lil fella!

if i had a time machine, first thing id do is obviously kill hitler. even if germanys fascism was caused by complex socioeconomic factors itd still be worth doing for the bit. then id go even further back to the early 20th century and become one of those old timey bank robbers, when they had names like 'pretty boy floyd' and 'baby face nelson' and id make sure people knew me as 'sweet baby ray' just to see how it fucks with barbeque sauce history

Lol when i say I grew up in Texas people always ask “did you go to the coast a lot?” Ummm no...no I did not

I saw one of these wasps for the first time in my girlfriend's yard, had no idea what it was, and cannot get over how absolutely gorgeous they are! Beautifully iridescent and BIG - about the length of my middle finger.

So glad I looked them up because apparently they are metal as hell. I'm also quite fond of Black Widow spiders but making a name for your species because you hunt them is objectively cool.

Of course I can only talk about the specific kind of German wasp I have encountered but I do think people exaggerate how aggressive they are a lot. Over the past two days I had to fish three wasps out of beverages with my hands and escort a fourth one out of the store by gently scooping it up in my hand and not one did any kind of stinging attempt. They're just curious!

So Tom Lehrer was Jewish, and you will see a lot of Jews, and people who know about Judaism saying, may his memory be a blessing, or z''l, which is short for the same phrase in Hebrew. and, in fact, I said may his memory be a blessing on another post. but there is another saying that is often said by Jews to mark a death, which I feel is much more appropriate. That phrase is Baruch dayan ha'emet, meaning "Blessed is the true judge." Baruch dayan ha'emet is often abbreviated as BDE.

I can't think of anyone who would more appreciate the double meaning in BDE than Tom Lehrer, or anyone who embodied the other meaning of BDE more.
