Not sure if that's a male or a female, but here's an adorable wasp.

When people makes posts about how they hate wasps or spiders or whatever it’s like “I don’t care that it doesn’t have the concept morality and can’t glean my intention, once when I was 3 a two year old bit me and now I hate all two year olds and if I ever saw one (a two year old that is) in my house or possibly even just some place near me I would kill it on sight and I’m completely justified I’m my rage and see no reason to work myself or address my desire to kill a living creature based on hate >:|”

hi does anyone else think about april throwing herself over leo to shield him in the shredder strikes back despite having no weapons no way to defend herself and probably assuming she was going to die. does anyone think about that all the time. every day. uncontrollably

[ID: Digital fanart of Ninja Turtles 2003 depicting a scene from The Shredder Strikes Back part 2. April kneels over an injured Leo, cradling his head and looking back over her shoulder to snarl viciously at the camera, though there is obvious fear in her eyes. Her hair has partially fallen out of her bun, the loose strands sticking to her face with sweat. She has a cut on her cheek. Only a portion of Leo’s face can be seen from behind her shoulder. He looks up at her with a sad, pained expression. He has a swollen, bloody shiner on his cheek in addition to other cuts and bruises on the rest of his body. They are on the wooden floor of a dark attic. End ID.]

The King of Antennae exudes an aura of charismatic leadership, fiery determination, and unwavering confidence. He embodies the essence of a visionary ruler, one who harnesses the raw power of creativity and passion to inspire and lead others. This card calls us to recognize the innate potential within ourselves and to boldly step into leadership roles, unafraid to make impactful decisions. He encourages us to embrace our passions with zeal and conviction, recognizing that the force of our personalities can move mountains. He teaches us that effective leadership is not merely about authority but also about genuine enthusiasm and inspiration. Just as the King of Antennae commands with fervor, so too can we influence and guide with the ardor of our beliefs.

Eucharitid wasps are formidable predators known for their role in ecological balance and exhibit a relentless, determined pursuit of their goals. They are strategic and purposeful in their search for hosts for their parasitic larvae. The lesson here is to be unwavering in our pursuits, to chase our dreams with tenacity, and to inspire others through our dedication. This card guides us to tap into our inner fire, to lead with both confidence and passion, and to use our creative power to make a profound impact on the world around us.

Overall, this card teaches us that true leadership is not solely about the position we hold but about the earnestness with which we approach life's challenges. We learn that leadership and charisma can manifest in the smallest of beings, and unwavering determination can lead to transformative influence. Despite their size, these animals demonstrate the power of purposeful action and remind us that within each of us lies the potential for visionary leadership and the capacity to inspire positive change. They highlight the value of understanding and making a meaningful impact on others, teaching us that true leadership often comes from a connection to one's role in the natural world.

society has ingrained in all of us that bugs are bad and evil and scary and they Bite You for no reason and Sting You For Fun and I would like to challenge every single person that reads this to try to step back and challenge those thoughts. CHALLENGE that knee-jerk reaction to kill every bug you see. REALIZE that killing it doesn't have to be the answer. it's fine to not want bugs in your home. but I see so many people whose FIRST choice is to kill it, even though it'd be easy to just cup it and toss it outside. why?

one of the greatest things that got me over my extremely intense arachnophobia was knowledge. learning more about the thing I was afraid of made me realize, "oh, they're just little guys trying to get by too" and I stopped killing every spider I saw.

and it's like. no, that wasp didn't sting you for fun. it stung you because it felt scared or defensive. no, the spider in your shower isn't trying to kill you. spiders need water to live too.

you don't deem a scared dog/cat evil for biting you, do you? then why are we demonizing insects and spiders for feeling scared? they are so, so small and we are so large. they don't know anything about us, they're just trying to live life. they didn't know they built their web in a bad spot. they didn't know they built their nest next to your door. please, show some kindness to these tiny creatures. I understand you can't let infestations happen or wasps build in your walls, but whenever possible, try to put bugs in a cup and take them outside. yes, even wasps. even black widows. if you want tips for safely capturing bugs, I'm always around to ask.

also, to those who say things like, "x bug eats other pest bug, so they're okay" why? why does something have to benefit you to deserve to live? shouldn't all creatures have a chance at life, even if they're ugly, even if they don't benefit you, even if they do something you don't like? what gives you the right to decide to take the life of any animal just because ahhh it looked scary? please. all I ask is you try to be kinder. it's okay to be scared, it's not okay to pointlessly kill things.
