absolutely love how early on in the Oregon Parks promo campaign everyone was under the tweets being like "alex what is this" "alex we know it's you" "what are you plotting alex" and now everyone is screaming and crying in the replies for Park Ranger Gus Burnside and asking if he's okay
he got the fandom invested in his twitter roleplay character in the span of ~a week. i'm afraid there's nobody doing it like him— anyone who thinks they can pull off a Gravity Falls revival hoax/troll/etc should quit while they're ahead, truly

I Was-a Too Late
CW: blood, implied character death(s)
[insert your favorite Mario game over jingle here]
I have nothing to say for myself.
I'm so sorry.
@wahooitsamee @peaches2217 You guys seemed interested, so... enjoy?
EDIT: I have a Luigi version (well, sort of) now too, called He's-a Gone if anyone's interested!

ok this sounds insane but in 2018 i went to a few carnivorous plant talks at the botany conference in minnesota. i got caught up in conversation with one of the guys there who was a huge nepenthes guy who told me a story about another collector in the pacific northwest who'd been buying poached plants, like a huge amount, and eventually got staked out by the fish and wildlife service and arrested and had all his plants seized and went to prison for it. idk if i ever talked about this on this blog before-- i know i liveblogged a lot from that conference but cant remember what all i posted-- but ive avoided talking about it since then because i was never able to find like, news articles or anything covering it, but behold.... we now have proof it was real, and im like 80% sure this was this guy he was talking about. the raid happened in 2016 and they'd been staking them out since 2013. he had nearly 400 plants and had been sourcing many of them from poachers in indonesia and borneo.
remember folks: poaching happens with plants too! it's a huge problem not only in carnvirous plants (nepenthes especially, which this piece is dedicated to talking about) but also in native plant populations in the US, including native carnivorous plant populations (north and south carolina's venus fly traps, california's darlingtonia, and sarracenia from the east coast), native orchids (historically one of the most poached categories), desert plants/cacti/succulents, and slow-growing woody ornamentals (cycads, for example). never buy bare-root plants off ebay or facebook! your best bet is local nurseries (which usually purchase farm-raised plants that do well in a wide range of conditions, and as a result have a healthy population in the wild) or specialty greenhouses (more expensive, but at least in the case of carnivorous plants offer young plants bred from established adult plants in-house, raised in captivity).

A considerable amount of makeup was used to cover Deeva's freckles and face marks, and Cater also had to use magic to make her clothes his size. They did this as a joke, but they sure were committed to it! 💪

I had the coolest dream the other night where Ford accidentally got himself involved in a corrupt multidimensional corporation that sent their employees to different dimensions to steal stuff, but all the employees were essentially prisoners and couldn't leave and had trackers around their ankles and stuff.
(also there was some weird timeline stuff going on, like it was present day Ford but he didn't remember gravity falls or the twins or anything)
So Ford accidentally goes to a dimension he's not supposed to and ends up in a version of Gravity Falls where the twins didn't defeat the zombies in scary-oke and so like half the town, including Stan, is dead and everything has been destroyed and Dipper and Mabel are living in the ruins of that random bell tower. So when Ford shows up Dipper is freaked out and Mabel is half crying cause they think he's Stan, but Ford doesn't know who they are so he's mostly just confused.
Eventually they decide he's not Stan, but never really get as far to figure out he's also their uncle so I dunno. But Mabel gets attached and plays card games with him and he just sits and listens to her rant while Dipper like goes and hangs out with Wendy (who is obviously still alive, like come on, it's Wendy).
In the end the corporation figures out he's not where he's supposed to be and tries to kill him but he escapes and kidnaps the zombie au Mabel and the two jump into some black and white dimension. Mabel is confused as to why he did that and doesn't really know what's going on which is fair cause I don't know why he did that either but that was where the dream ended.
