they got rid of the classical elements & replaced it with something called the 'four harmonious insects' so now instead of fire, water, etc we have moth, spider, leech and worm.

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

for fuck's sake, can we start being nicer about spiders?

every time I want to talk about cute or cool or badass spiders I get at least one fucking japester who's like "oh I bet it won't be tiresome and irritating if I write trite and unprompted flash fiction about murdering innocent and harmless animals with fire (a particularly torturous form of death) THIS time", and they're wrong every single fucking time.

I would rather have ten people telling me they are horny for spiders every time I mention an arachnid from now until the day I die than have to continue living in a world where one of my favourite animals is most well-known on the internet for being the centre of a quote-unquote "joke" about extreme and pointlessly cruel animal abuse.

jesus christ, guys. spiders are just animals. they're not even, like, pests, or invasive, or anything. the vast overwhelming majority of them can't even hurt humans, and the ones that can don't want to.

like, shit, sorry for the graphic image, but how would you feel if every time you posted a picture of a cute cat you got replies saying "if I saw that in my house I'd put it in a fucking beartrap"? because that's how I'm starting to feel about the "burn the house down when you see a spider" joke.

and before you get on my ass about arachnophobia, I am arachnophobic, being in the immediate IRL presence of spiders gives me an uncontrollable physical fear response, but the existence of arachnophobes does not give you free reign to jack off to the idea of being able to freely torture and murder animals that "give you the ick". you cannot trot out arachnophobia here as an excuse. there are tons of people who are scared of dogs. doesn't mean you gotta be a dick about dogs. same with spiders.

one of the most popular superheroes in the world is spider-themed and you still got fuckers out here thinking they're the funniest man alive for making jokes about killing spiders holy shit

anyway, rant over. picture of a cute spider under the cut ->

just a little guy! hello! if he was a character in a video game he'd have a squeaky little voice and ask you to help him find his buttons!

LUNACY is a story i've been trying to manifest since i was 14

i've been thinking about picking it back up right where it left off : ) the perfectionist in me wants to start the whole thing over but then i'd never get it done

Heyo! I am once again advocating for this Palestinian family I've linked. Ibrahim is just a kid in a dire situation and no one should have to go through what he is going through daily. His father is in critical condition and needs funds to get the lifesaving care he needs.

If even half of my followers donated a dollar, we'd be done with this campaign in less than a day!

Aurora: Chapters 4-5 [An Anthro Spider (and Cordyceps) Horror and Lesbian Romantasy Novel]

She hoped she could make it to Varaz’khor without eating. The roaches there, according to one of her books, were omnivorous, and they herded Lesser Bugs, especially aphids, so meat would be plentiful. Aurora would not get so lucky. One morning, an attendant, a rather lanky mosquito, entered with breakfast—pancakes and cups of coffee. Pietro took his tray, bowing his thanks and returning to his favored seat at the window to watch the sun rise. The mosquito offered Aurora a plate, and she was about to test her luck with eating grains…until their claws touched. Aurora could feel the hemolymph coursing through him. She could smell it, even, especially as his respiration increased. Why was he so nervous? Why did his fear make her hungrier? It happened before she even registered what she was doing. One moment, she was taking a tray of food, and another, she was on the floor, her fangs in his neck, dissolving his innards and drinking him in like the provided morning coffee. Distantly, Aurora could feel him try to push her away, to wiggle free from her fangs, his dance for his life accompanied by a vibrational orchestra of his screams. Once her venom kicked in, though, he began to lie still. It all hardly mattered. The thrill of the hunt, the kill, made her mind fuzzy, an intelligent spider reduced to base instinct. He could have been placid through the entire process and she would not have even noticed. The mosquito was an explosion of flavor, nutrition she hadn’t experienced in years. At first, she tasted his blood, the metallic tang coating her tongue and fangs pleasantly. Soon, the digestive enzymes she unconsciously produced when eating kicked in, and she was able to drink his organs properly. This was decadence unlike anything she had eaten since the Treaty of her childhood. The savory flavor, combined with the sweet undertones of whatever bug he had drank last, felt like a complete, nutritious meal, and she slowly felt the life come back to her and her starvation-induced nausea ebb. Unfortunately, the adrenaline-filled high of the kill began to wane as well, and once Aurora had eaten her fill, she pulled away and fully realized what she had done. Aurora had killed an innocent bug. Aurora had murdered one of the staff of the ship and ate him in the company of her twin brother. When she looked up at him, feeling the guilt on her face, she noticed no horror on his. Instead, there was annoyance, perhaps even inconvenience in his narrowed eyes and crossed arms. Aurora managed to catch him saying, “Are you quite finished?”
