#Pollinate

[tadpolesonalgae]

So pollinate? yeah wtf how dare you write that but like..... do it again 🫠

Gosh I don’t think I really write that much for Cassian because I don’t have a total grasp of who he is? With the others I feel like I know how I see them, but Cassian’s character is so elusive 😭

I’ll give him some more thought, but I think I’d like to study him a bit more before writing a fic solely with him 🫣🧡💛

(Also I’m very flattered you liked Pollinate since it’s an earlier piece and I often detest my earlier writing 🫢🙄)

What Love Says... Love Pollinator

Thank you for you! Beautiful heart take flight as a co-creating butterfly! Pollinate love through the creation of loving thoughts, words and actions, fly to the depth of your heart. Be you!

Love the unloved things, the strange wonders of nature, the butterflies, the weeds, the blowfish, the vulture, all strangeness that floats within us. Put love there. It's time to unconditionally love, to love all the unusual, magnificent wonders of life and you.

Go to the sacred place, your heart, where love, magic and imagination blooms, go there, go often, roam freely in your heart, in the aroma of love.

Allow the flutter of inspired love to become a current of air, lifting you upward to the wonder of you, that love will pollinate the flower growing in your heart and set you free.

Be a pollinator of love for self and all.

Jennifer R. Cook @catsinthebagdesignposts invites you to embrace love in your life and enjoy What Love Says series.

Seems like all the things people say are "missing the point" or "not doing enough" about saving pollinators, actually are doing some good.

Like No Mow May and leaving your lawn weeds alone, sure it's important to be planting species native to your area, but cosmopolitan lawn weeds like dandelions are actually really important for pollinators even in areas where they're not native. Gas powered lawn mowers put out a shit ton of CO2, way more per hour of use than cars, and the other air pollutants caused by lawn mowers are bad for us, so it's great to cut down on lawn mowing any way possible.

And on top of all that, a month of not mowing gives enough time for wild flowers to start growing where they couldn't before, so if you participate in no mow may, you might not NEED to plant native flowers because you might already have them

same thing with "save the bees" and focusing on honeybees, the pesticides that are affecting honeybees are also killing our native pollinators, so it will benefit them all to stop spraying.

people getting into beekeeping is good, even though honey bees aren't the ones endangered, it shows people how they are in symbiosis with other life forms.

And I'm reading a book about beekeeping, cause dad wants to keep bees, and the book says if you keep bees you will have to talk to your neighbors about pesticides and how they will harm the bees. That is a benefit to the whole ecosystem if someone is educating the people around them about the harms of pesticides

On top of that, more people are experiencing firsthand that honey comes from bees and consequently, understanding that insects aren't just scary and bad, and when they see a bee maybe they won't feel threatened and want to destroy it but instead think "oh yeah that is my friend that gives me delectable treats"

It is recommended to offer your neighbors honey from your hives. If they put pesticides on their flowers, they will put poison in the honey they were promised, if they get any honey at all

Adult wasps love sweet sweet nectar, while their larva need MEAT! Happy pollinator week!

Brazilian frog might be the first pollinating amphibian known to science

Nectar-loving tree frog likely moves pollen from flower to flower.

The creamy fruit and nectar-rich flowers of the milk fruit tree are irresistible to Xenohyla truncata, a tree frog native to Brazil. On warm nights, the dusky-colored frogs take to the trees en masse, jostling one another for a chance to nibble the fruit and slurp the nectar. In the process, the frogs become covered in sticky pollen grains—and might inadvertently pollinate the plants, too.  It’s the first time a frog—or any amphibian—has been observed pollinating a plant, researchers reported last month in Food Webs...
