- born to be the greatest at what you do due to string-pulling from adults or gods. one half of a pair left while the other is gone for your sake

- last hope of a dying house and thus very stressed

I am fully in favor of culling highly invasive animals even if it personally makes me sad, but I am really freaked out by the hatred people show those animals and the absolute glee at the prospect of killing them.

I think you can cull invasive species while treating them with kindness and respect, and that means 1) killing them quickly and as painlessly as possible 2) trying not to waste their remains if at all possible, like the rising use of invasive fish in local restaurants and 3) remembering that every invasive animal, with the exception of domestic ones, is actually native somewhere.

My general rule is to ask yourself if the things you say about invasive bugs, fish, reptiles, etc are things you would ever say about feral cats, which are one of the most widespread invasive species in the world with massive impacts on native animal populations and ecosystems.

Tldr; just like. Be nice.

This is an experiment to see if there really are as few of us as people think.You can also use this to freak out your followers who think you’re 25 or something. Yay!

This is my favorite Natalie scene because it’s so perfectly representative of her character and morals. She buys something from the vending machine and it doesn’t work, so she breaks the glass with a fire extinguisher and only takes what she paid for.

Nat will do bad things to get what she needs (in this case M&Ms lol) but only if she views it as fair and necessary in some form. The machine took her money, so she’s going to get what she paid for, and nothing more. She has integrity. Even after 25 years, she is still the same moral compass she was out in the Wilderness, which is why she is the character most riddled with guilt.

I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

I mean, science is already almost there, they sell lube wrestling rings at sex toy stores

Today, on this fateful day in sex ed, I have to teach 25 9th graders how to put condoms on wooden dicks without losing my composure. Wish me luck lmao

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

It is insane to me that timestamps are optional on this webbed site. A major context clue is just opt in so I’ll reblog something from four years ago and people think it’s happening right just now like babe. Enable your timestamps. Why are you stumbling through the world with one eye closed?

promise me you'll stay on this site for 10 more years okay?
