I'm kind of debating whether to use this as a general studyblr. we're not in formal education and haven't been for years, but we've been trying to learn more about various topics and it'd maybe be nice to track that somewhere, and since this is already a blog dedicated to studying it seems like a good option

even more of our pikmin

I just realised we can use the polls to ask the clone fucking debate questions. let's go!

(two answers are missing because you can only have 10 options. oh well)

the funniest part of everyone deciding Jonathan is trapped in a time loop and going "oh my dear friend Jonathan Harker is on another business trip to Transylvania" is the implication that he's just been doing this every year since some point in the 1890s

every time a curator adds one of our iNaturalist observations to a project I feel like I've won some kind of award. I'm getting a good grade in spotting little creatures. we saw a mosquito yesterday and it's been added to a project tracking various mosquito species and their behaviour. fuck yeah

the system experience of being blurry is always so wild because it's like, it feels like knowing who you are should be very simple, but then suddenly it's impossible to tell and it's like "am I this guy? am I someone else but masking heavily? am I new here? am I multiple people co-fronting? what even is a person? can I ever truly know myself? do I even exist? what if I'm a figment of another alter's imagination?" and then you listen to the right song or something and it's like "oh of course"

🌈Pride Asks🌈

making an ask game seemed fun so let's go! some of the asks are more pride specific, and some are just opportunities to talk about your identity a bit.

(I'm adding numbers and emojis for each ask so you can use either)

✨ enjoy! ✨

1/🎉 - have you ever been to a pride event?

2/💐 - how would you describe your gender identity?

3/💖 - what's your favourite thing about being queer?

4/💗 - how would you describe your sexual and/or romantic orientation?

5/🎨 - what's your favourite form of self-expression?

6/⭐ - tell me about a fun queer experience you've had! (this one's up for interpretation. have fun!)

7/📖 - are there any pronouns you really like but don't use?

8/🌠 - when did you first figure out you were queer? do you still use the same labels you did back then?

9/🦋 - have you ever changed your name? if so, how did you chose your name (or names if you use multiple)?

10/🧁 - have you ever tried drag? is it something you'd like to do?

11/👗 - tell me about an outfit that makes you feel really good about yourself, or alternatively, an outfit you'd love to wear

12/☀️ - what's a little thing that's really gender affirming for you?

13/🌻- do you prefer to use really specific labels, vague labels, no labels, or a combination for yourself?

14/✨ - tell me something you really like about yourself

15/🍄 - what first made you realise you were queer?

having the Re: Dracula podcast available this year has genuinely made it so much easier to keep up with Dracula Daily. like last year we struggled because reading tends to take a lot of focus for us but being able to listen to the book instead has turned out to be a lot easier

as a side note on the morality OCD thing, filtering phrases like "reblog if", "if you can't reblog this", "can and should reblog", "reblog this version", etc has helped immensely with not seeing as much of the guilt tripping bullshit on here. there are probably more but these are the ones on our filtered post content list so far.

also if you're on desktop, the Xkit Rewritten extension has a "tweaks" section for a bunch of dashboard stuff that includes the options "use a slim layout for filtered posts" which makes those posts take up less space, and "hide filtered posts entirely" so they don't show up on your dash at all if you need that option

introducing our new plant: Selaginella lepidophylla

we ordered it a few days ago and it arrived today in its dried out form but we've currently got it sitting in a little bit of water to watch it rehydrate and unfurl so we'll probably post updates later as it does that

sorry I uhh. I mellified your boyfriend. I know I know but I needed a guy and it ended up being him. he's sealed away in the honey now. if it's any consolation his sexy sweet solution should be ripe for distribution in about a century. you can buy a jar of him if you wait around til then. oh how much? $100
