And is we assume that each baby is born exactly 9 months after conception, (it's not true) we can see that:

(ignore the April and Jan, that's just a difference of .02%)

Some hypothesis ;

February would be much lower if not for Valentine's Day

Christmas babies are very common

Septembre is best season for conception cuz that's when school starts

(there might also be other events that I'm unaware of, make your own hypotheses)

Conclusion;

FALL IS BEST SEASON FOR HUMAN MATING RITUALS

autumn is akaashi's favorite season. the summer heat ebbs away into a pleasant chill, the crisp air foreshadowing colder months ahead. despite this, he's always liked the warmth in the trees as amber hues provide a stark contrast against the ashen sky. but most of all, he looks forward to seeing your face light up as he hands you your favorite hot drink.

"you didn't have to," you utter, yet the way your eyes sparkle says otherwise.

"but i wanted to," he replies swiftly.

he watches you raise the cup to your lips and take a tentative sip, warmth spreading from the top of his head to his toes when you hum contendedly. akaashi's smile is hidden behind his scarf, but the crinkle of his eyes betrays him.

your lips quirk upwards when you notice his subdued giddiness. "thank you, keiji."

the crunch of dry leaves accompanies the sound of your voice. akaashi thinks he quite enjoys this—spending autumn evenings wandering aimlessly while listening to you talk about your day. when the wind picks up, he interlaces his fingers with yours and slips his other hand into his coat pocket, feeling the extra pair of mittens that he keeps for you.

and just as the leaves fall every year without fail, akaashi falls for you time and time again.

What to Do Once Things Are Planted?

This is my seventh post in a series I’ll be making on how to increase biodiversity on a budget! I’m not an expert--just an enthusiast--but I hope something you find here helps! 

So you’ve gotten started on making a garden to boost biodiversity! 10/10, excellent work! So, now what?

First, you’ll need to keep watering the plants--especially if you’re going through a dry season. Native plants will be more acclimated to your area’s seasonal weather, but they’ll need a helping hand while they’re getting established--especially if you’re starting with young, tender seedlings. With that in mind, if you accidentally skip out on crucial watering days, don't panic! There's been tons of times where I haven't watered for an entire summer and had perennials come back the next spring! Even this year, during a heatwave, I completely did not water my swamp milkweeds, but they're already popping back up! You may also need to go in and weed, especially if you’re seeing invasive species popping up in the garden. Invasives are no good--if you do anything, do your best to get those out as effectively and safely as possible!

If you’re needing to maintain your shrubs in spring and summer, double check to make sure there are no active bird or insect nests within them. If it’s possible to wait until later to cut your shrubs, it could be extremely beneficial.

When fall and winter come around and your plants begin to die back, don’t cut them away if you can! Many insects overwinter in the plant stems left behind as perennials die back to the roots. In addition, birds will use seed heads as a source of food over the winter. Try not to clean things up until late winter/early spring, when other food sources are beginning to come back and things are growing again. By then, the insects should be waking up and leaving the plant stems as well.

However, don’t let this discourage you from collecting seeds! Collecting seed from your plants is a great way to continue gardening at low cost, as well as making friends and encouraging others to garden by trading seeds or offering them as gifts. If you're in an area where you do need to cut back, this is a great opportunity to collect the seeds and save them for the future. You could also cut back what’s dying in the front yard and keep things to overwinter in the backyard. Some overwintering habitat is better than no overwintering habitat.

Want to know how to collect seeds from specific plants? I've found YouTube to be a great source of info for this! Knowing what you're doing and when is key to getting a viable harvest.

As your mulch begins to break down, you’ll need to keep adding more to top it off, if you can. It can get a bit repetitive, but no worries--the mulch breaking down means your soil is improving! 

If possible, add to your garden! Expand, add in new things, and keep encouraging the growth of native plants. If you couldn’t add that water feature in year one, see if you can in year two! New interest in birds? Add a birdhouse, or more bird feeders. Loving the butterflies? Add plenty more nectar-rich plants, or do more research into what they lay their eggs on! Want more color? See what else you can add in! Came into some new pots to expand your flowerpot garden with? Find cool native plants to put in them! I always encourage people to start small and then expand over time, as opposed to starting big and getting overwhelmed.

Keep learning and observing native species of birds, insects, mammals, etc. See what’s coming to your yard now, and look into how you can improve things more for them on your budget. If you aren’t seeing what you were hoping, see if there’s other actions you can take that’ll attract what you’re hoping to see in your backyard habitat. Knowing more about the world around you makes it easier to know how to help the world around you. Talk to others about what you’re doing, the changes you’ve made, and the results you’ve seen! Curious neighbors? Work friends? Your closest homies? Your family? All fair game! You just might be the one who gets someone else interested in making their space a habitat for local wildlife!

That’s the end of this post! My next post is gonna be about the secret Other Thing you can do to help biodiversity--tackling invasives! Until then, I hope this advice was helpful! Feel free to reply with any questions, your success stories, or anything you think I may have forgotten to add in!

im still recovering from halloween, okay? let me breathe/j

personally christmas (as much as i love it when mariah defrosts) does not start for me until after thanksgiving. fall is my favorite season so i try to savor it as much as i can.

but trust me, when black friday comes around i am IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. and that will be reflected here, maybe with another blog retheme but definitely by streaming all i want for christmas is you.

thank you for dropping this in my asks, it actually made me crack up

[ooglywooglies]

thanksgiving posting tires me almost as much as christmas and i dont even have thanksgiving obligations due to not living in america and having no family

[hajstra]

It is extremely important for me to let you all know that if you can, go for an evening walk in the middle of nowhere and listen to this stupid song with real birds accompanying you, it will change your life forever

Excited for the days to start getting longer again. This 8 hours and 39 minutes of daylight just isn't it

Ah the summer sunlight problem hit me, I fell asleep during the day, and don’t have my clock set to 24 hours because I don’t wanna do math when I check the time. But I fully assumed I was waking up at 7pm instead of am this morning. Got up at like 8 wandered around and got real weirded out by how fuckin’ quiet everything was.

Finally saw a clock that had AM highlighted.

Like don’t get me wrong I do prefer it to when the sun only comes out for like 4-5 hours a day, but like the inverse is definitely confusing sometimes.

I was working on a sticker design to sell on bonfire to raise money for anera or pcrf but just found out you need to be verified to sell stickers.. which requires 10K followers on a platform or 250+ items sold already... I guess I'll see if my design can work on a shirt...
