Cosigned. But then, Marr doesn't get me to watch anything unless it is extremely fucking good
It aired in 2022, but I'm still extremely offended Parallel World Pharmacy wasn't more popular. It was so good. Okay, it looked a little painful from the image art and no one promoted it.
But it was so damn good.
(The ending definitely suffered from some pacing problems to fit into the season format and could've used another few episodes, but that's honestly a pretty minor crime for isekai anime these days)

one of my favorite things about using inaturalist is how it’s gotten me familiar with even the common, less “impressive” species. especially since spring is rolling around and I’m spending more time outside.
Like, before where I’d just say, “oh look, a butterfly!” now I can say “oh look, a mourning cloak!”
Instead of “a squirrel” it’s “a fox squirrel.” Instead of “a snail” it’s a “garden snail.” Instead of “a rabbit” it’s “a desert cottontail.” Instead of “a ladybug” it’s “an asian lady beetle, which is invasive.” Instead of “a lizard” it’s “a bluebelly, but they’re really called western fence lizards.”
It’s harder to take the little guys for granted when you know their names, y’know?

just doing a poll for my own Aro/Ace curiosity.
I don't want to hear from non Ace people on this one please. I'm also kinda trying to prove a point about there being more Ace people on this site. (As I seem to have collected them all, but none of them know each other). So my fellow ace people, please share this with all of your followers and we'll get a fun little social experiment out of it.
non ace people are encouraged to reblog, but don't vote; Thank you.

tomato frogs are friends They have not (yet) contributed to our demise
You leave the room behind and spend twenty minutes trying to get the grille more or less back in place. It doesn’t really work, but you manage to wedge it into the opening so that at least it won’t fall over on anybody. You still give it a worried glance as you leave.
The only place left to go is down the stairs, so down you go. At the bottom, you find a smallish room with an alcove, a huge iron door that someone made specifically to be intimidating, and a sloping hallway to the south. You hear frog calls echoing in the distance from the hallway.
There’s a rusty faucet in the alcove. Jimmy says, “You know what’s weird?”
You are spoiled for choice, frankly, but you humor him. “What?”
“Every time somebody turns that faucet handle, it breaks. But every time I come down here, it’s wired back into place.”
You consider this. “Magic or plumbers, do you think?”
Jimmy makes a flailing gesture with his wings. “I don’t know. Maybe this is some kind of afterlife for plumbers and the bad ones have to stay here fixing the same faucet for all eternity.”
This is an interesting theory. It doesn’t body well for your dreams of treasure, but then again, plumbers get paid way better than adventurers.

Went to a training that contained mostly undergrad and graduate students today. Trainer: So it's vitally important if you work in biology that you have the Hepatitis B vaccine. However, it's mandatory for going into kindergarten so unless your parents opted out or you have some medical reason, you've probably already had it. Call your parents or PCP to check, next slide... Me, the person who is dragging the average age of the room up by being approximately a decade ahead of anyone: Hey when was it made mandatory, do you know? Trainer, visibly 20: Oh, forever ago, like the 90's

But seriously, when we got our property, it was all just…grass. A sterile grass moonscape, like a billion other yards. With two big old maple trees. Just grass and maples, that was it. 
But then I got my grubby little paws on it, and I immediately stopped fertilizing, spraying, and bagging up grass clippings and leaves. I ripped up sod and put in flowers and vegetables. I put down nice thick blankets of mulch around the flowers and vegetables. 
When I first was sweating my way through stripping sod, I saw a grand total of 1 worm and 0 ladybugs. The ground was compacted into something that would bend shovel blades. 
Now, six years later, I can’t dig a planting hole without turning up fourteen earthworms, and there are so many ladybugs here. Not the invasive asian lady beetles; native ladybugs. They winter over in the mulch and in the brush pile. I see thousands of them. 
The soil is soft and rich. There are birds that come to eat, and bees of many sorts.
Like this is something that you, yourself, can absolutely change. This is something that you, personally, can make a difference in.

OK SO
I recently HORRIFIED someone by describing the plot of Titus Andronicus. English isn't her first language but she's got the complete works of Shakespeare translated into her own language.
Except. That one. It turns out the translators left out THAT play, and I've soured her view of Shakespeare forever.
Now I'm curious if other translators are quietly leaving out Titus Andronicus.
Please reblog for sample size!
Edit: To be clear I love this play, I'm just curious how it's being treated.
