I got in one (1) night's moth-ing before the weather turned again, but fingers crossed for tomorrow 💖🦋

Until we're past the gales, here's some super-cute moths from previous years to remind you that:

- moths are beautiful

- they pollinate ur plants at night

- their caterpillars are essential food for baby birds

- they're a crucial part of many ecosystems, with life cycles connected to those of trees and wildflowers, birds, and lots of other invertebrates

The moths in the pics are: small emerald, blood vein, small blood vein, tree lichen beauty, box tree moth, orange swift, scorched wing, riband wave & willow beauty, brimstone moth.

Thank you from the Moth Promotional Board ✨🦋✨

what if i risked my life and put up (affectionate) with your unhinged monsterfucker brother to save you. and then revealed i was an expert in illegal black magic just so i could resurrect you from a pile of bones. and what if i later explored your body in the bath. and you laced our fingers together and offered to share your energy with me. and what if after all that… there was only one bed. what then.

update: it's been ANIMATED. gifs here

The Beautiful Necktie

One day, a sad man walked into a clothing store.

Process under the cut

Sometimes when I watch the time lapse I don't know how I made it through the ugly stages.

This one was pretty fast tho, perhaps 3 hrs last night and 3 hrs tonight.

online harassment campaigns are genuinely terrifying and part of why they're terrifying is that they make you feel like you're going insane—especially if they're false, frame you maliciously on purpose or blow things wayy out of proportion—because like. asides from it feeling really fucking bad due to the aforementioned tide of toxic sludge coming your way all at once, you genuinely start to doubt your perception of reality because surely this isn't... right? surely people can tell this isn't real/there's no way this kind of reaction is warranted or deserved, right?

if any of your friends ever go through that the single most helpful thing you can do is reach out to them & be like "jesus christ these people are nuts, are you okay?" PLEASE do, even privately if you're afraid of being dragged in. they'll never thank you enough, it's a literal life raft for their sanity

This lovely pearlescent friend decided I was not salty enough and contained no nectar, so I put them on a flower instead 🦋🌼

Edit - yes, this is a box-tree moth. I've posted a few of these friends before, they're so familiar I forgot to mention the name. Ooops! 😂

I'm also aware some people consider them 'invasive' here in Europe. That to me is a bullshit descriptor. This moth was brought here *by us*... By humans indulging their habit of taking species (eg plants and all the bugs that come with) outside their original range, dumping them somewhere new, then whinging about what they do there. Those species are not the ones doing the invading, we are responsible.

This moth mainly appears to be a problem for people who love faffy plastic-looking box tree topiary, or who have unfortunately inherited box hedging. I'm gonna call it a sign from the universe to plant more environmentally useful mixed hedging that feeds a lot more bugs n birds, but doesn't generally get wiped out by them. I'm gonna keep enjoying the occasional presence of this moth, thank you from the Moth Promotional Board, I'll stop ranting now.

if you would like trans women to stop being suspicious of your intentions as a tme person you should probably take the very important step of not making it about you LOL like it actually really is not about you as an individual at all. part of having friends that are marginalized in ways you aren't - something that needs to be accepted to even get to this point - is listening to them discuss violence/oppression/control enacted on them by people in a group you belong to and accepting that they aren't fucking attacking you personally. how do you think people will come to trust you if you've positioned yourself to assume they look down on you specifically?
