i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)

as someone who got 2 concussions this year and inhaled toxic substances at the workplace i can confidently inform you all that all characters in the star wars prequels are absolved of stupidity. they're all dumb as a box of rocks but its not their fault that no one made them wear helmets in wartime. the introduction of SPOSHA (space OSHA) would reduce incidences of darth vader creation by at least one i just know it

Some fun little things from Sanctuary by John Vornholt:

[Text ID: “A gentle rapping on the door awoke Captain Kirk, and he sat up in the unfamiliar bed to see Spock sitting on the settee across from him, looking quite elegant in a gold-embroidered robe of royal blue. The Vulcan might have been awake for hours, judging by the alertness in his eyes and the sun streaming through the cheery lace curtains. McCoy was still snoring away in the other bed, even after the rapping sounded again.” End ID]

This classic quote I’ve seen around… So… he was just sitting there? In his gorgeous elegant robe?? Okay sure.

[Text ID: “Kirk could see that both Senites who were in attendance that day were hovering around the large party in the dining room, so he turned to McCoy and screamed at the top of his lungs, ‘How dare you call me that!’ ‘But that’s exactly what you are!’ yelled McCoy. ‘And I’ll call you that any time I like!’ ‘Oh yeah!’ thundered Kirk. ‘I’ll make you eat those words!’ By now, the Senites had come running, and several of the new arrivals were peering out the curtained windows at the loudmouths on the veranda. ‘Now, now,’ said Spock with reasoned assurance, ‘anger never solved a problem. Let us order some wine and have a toast.’ ‘I can’t drink with him,’ snarled Kirk, pointing a finger at McCoy. ‘Did you hear what he called me?’ ‘No, I did not,’ Spock answered, truthfully. ‘He called me a…what was it?’ ‘A pompous windbag,’ the doctor replied. ‘That was it!’ shouted Kirk. ‘Those are fighting words!’” End ID]

Shatner would eat this up if it was in an episode.

[Text ID: “The Andorian continued, ‘For the immediate future, the three of you are considered a domestic unit. I hope that is acceptable?’ ‘Most of the time,’ Kirk said with a grin.” End ID]

Yes! They are a domestic unit! Do not separate them! (They’re in a community where abandoned ships are used as homes for families. The trio is living in the shuttle they crash landed in, which they refer to as a “shuttlehome” from this point. 🥹)

It says so much about the thematics and worldbuilding of the Radch that the big in-universe media trope everyone knows isn't "You have to be careful because AIs can go mad with power" but rather "You have to be careful because AIs can go mad with grief."

I know I don't post a ton of personal stuff on here these days (ah, the joy of having irl friends! Tumblr need no longer be my journal lol) but for some reason I feel compelled to share this, so here you are:

After a couple years of wondering, I decided to really buckle down and do some research--take some psychometric and diagnostic tests, learn about the experiences of those who have been late diagnosed, and do a lot of vulnerable self reflecting--and I've started to accept that I think I may be autistic. (My brother has been telling me this for a while, but I kind of ignored it, because the one time I brought it up to my therapist, she shut it down pretty quickly because I also had trauma. I'm now beginning to wonder if my C-PTSD diagnosis was really just a misdiagnosis...but I did really have trauma, so who knows. Maybe I have both.)

I'm planning on pursuing this further this summer, when I have more time (yay being a teacher!) and can really lean into the process. The area I live in apparently has some really good resources for adult diagnosis and support, which is encouraging. And although I can't shake the lingering fear that I might be wrong and "I'm just weird because I'm messed up," the more research I do the more I feel it might be a real possibility. At least one worth getting formally evaluated.

There are a lot of reasons I think this, which are too personal and numerous to go into here, but yeah--I just wanted to let y'all know. Not entirely sure why, this just feels like the right spot to say it.

And I think Spock would be proud of me. :)
