[aunnokokyuu]

what if YOU were a poor little animation studio who kept straightifying the very homosexual moments between a tiger and a malnourished victorian child in order to make the anime more appealing to the general public. but THE MANGAKA HIMSELF said NO here’s a scene where said malnourished victorian child sensually bites the tiger’s neck while he’s transformed as a vampire and U HAVE TO ANIMATE IT THIS TIME BCS ITS IMPORTANT TO THE PLOT!!! now bones if you straightify that scene like you did to akutagawa telling atsushi to run you fool then you can trust that i’ll find you more than you trust in god

Master chief, mind telling me what you're doing on public transport?

"Sir. Reducing emissions."

Big bots, small bots, affectionate bots! A prequel to this, perhaps.

I just watched a documentary about namibian trains and like- Europeans would never survive here where the train schedule says "between 7 and 8 am". Oh and sometimes he's like an hour late and thats just expected

In the wake of the IA situation, I've seen a lot more posts circulating about using your local library and I just. Sigh

While I'm in a rental and I know it can't be guaranteed to stay, I'm going to plant Richmond Birdwing Vine (pararistolochia praevenosa), Purple Violet (viola betonicifolia), and Native Violet (viola hederacea).

They're the host plants for the Richmond Birdwing and Australian Fritillary butterflies, and I keep seeing that post about a man in America who helped out significantly I think with the California pipevine swallowtail.

There's so much I can't do to help with the environment, but planting a vine I'll need to trim in my own yard alongside a handful of other native plants and having a bit of a veggie garden helps myself, my family, and some animals in the area.

look idc if you're my "roommate" if you walk into the kitchen while i'm putting away my groceries and happen to catch me grinning maniacally and chanting the word peaches over and over under my breath like a goblin that's none of your business

Being brought up on a farm and only ever going back indoors to head right back out again for my whole life, the decreasing amount of insects has been extremely noticeable and it's been going on for years. Of course it's been worrying with the climate catastrophe, and once I became a beekeeper and learned more about my village's local flora it became even more glaring.

So imagine my surprise this year when there are more insects than I can count. Sitting on my porch (practically my room during summers) I'm noticing species I haven't seen since I was at least a young teenager, and there are more butterflies of different varieties than I even remember from my childhood!

There are so many bees flying around too, probably from the hives down by the old homestead buildings by the church and school, owned by the woman I know from the local beekeeper's association.

What's more is that this year there has been no drought OR flooding, so there are a lot more flowers blooming for longer, and everyone in my village as well as the surrounding villages are reporting a burst of activity in their hives... as well as higher activity from the wild bees and pollinators. For the first time in years it's starting to resemble the way it was when I was younger.

All that is to say, the climate catastrophe is real, and in my area it's causing a lot more violent thunderstorms... but oh my god all this reminds me why I persist despite the despair that tries to dig its claws in.

I may not be able to do major change on a global scale, but you can bet me and everyone here will at least try and support this little place. We can keep going in the fight against the municipality that wants to urbanize at the cost of our precious biodiversity, and we can continue to fight to keep out the cities that tries to enroach on us and get closer.

It is rare for villages in Götaland to remain this free from urbanization despite being nestled right in the middle of multiple major cities, and there's no excuse to destroy what little there is left of it down here in the south.

A union representing Southwest Airlines flight attendants voted to authorize a strike Tuesday, after the members rejected a contract deal put forward by the union in December. The Transport Workers Union (TWU) Local 556 announced that 98 percent of its members voted to authorize a strike, the first strike authorization in its history. The union represents more than 15,000 Southwest flight attendants across 11 different bases.

find it hilarious when riders have to do appearances or other sponcon at gas stations like there’s no way to make that shit look fun or sexy or marketable…they’re just there. doing tasks. surrounded by concrete. collecting gasoline…

does anyone else feel like they could be a really really good tour guide if the memory problems didnt exist

[lyndentree63]

Oh NO I think I'm slowly falling into local politics and activism (falling? nah girl, you fell ages ago when you volunteered for a city council board) but anyways I've thought I don't have enough stick-to-it to be involved in politics in a meaningful way.

I underestimated my hatred of pickup trucks.

Well ok technically it's my love of being a pedestrian and like, being alive. But I'm starting to research how one would campaign against the increasing size of pickup trucks and SUVs and whoopsie, I think I'm doing an Activism.

(Anyways y'all should go watch These Stupid Trucks Are Literally Killing Us to know what I'm talking about.)

Going on the most autistic friend date ever in which me and this person are going to get on a train with the sole purpose of making that train route back and forth
