oh god i forgot to mention that i am going to be a mother

... of some 200 arizona mantises

i found an ootheca at the park, and i know they clear all the dead vegetation out of this area in the winter so i broke this stick off and took it home

and one of the articles said you should try to keep the ootheca in the orientation the mother mantis laid it, so i uhhh

tied it (mostly) upright to my pomegranate tree

i await their emergence in 7-9 months

not pets, exactly, but these are some of the baby arizona mantises at my work that i'm overly emotionally invested in!

Hello I want to see your BUG pets please reblog with pics of them thank you

whenever I rewatch old buzzfeed unsolved supernatural episodes I always remember that those ghost hunts were probably the first time ryan was ever fucking exposed to nature

theres a unique level of frustration when it comes to searching up certain bugs and being bombarded by how they are PESTS and their main trait IS HOW THEYLL PERSONALLY RUIN YOUR LIFE so look at all these EXTERMINATION SITES TO GET RID OF THEM.

like kindly fuck off, please. let me search up local weevils without being told how awful they are to everything around us and how those "nasty acorn weevils do nothing but fuck over oak trees". i almost never see this level of hostility towards more charismatic species such as birds and mammals (aside from maybe rats), and i cannot lie its extremely jarring coming from the more avian side of animal enthusiasm.

i guess i just want more... neutral and unbiased search results for bugs? but man no wonder the average person thinks so poorly of bugs, even those who DO try to look up local insects are met with sites that encourage killing them.

The surreal experience of today is the foreign tourists coming to our table (we were in the square enjoying our aperitivo) asking if they could take pictures of my friend because apparently our style of graduation celebration is that special???? uncommon???? Ig we're pretty graduates ahahah

(it's customary for university graduates to wear a laurel crown, usually with red berries and flowy ribbons, a lot of people also choose to add flowers of various types depending on the meaning - literally just picture the Christmas garland you may hang on your door but on someone's head)

Endearing, if I do say so myself.

I have begun with my art project! We're supposed to document a journey, real or fictional (applies to both journey and place). So, naturally, I'm sending someone into the Distortion.

The first cardboard box is done! There will be another, larger one underneath that's not immediately visible unless you open the door and I'll find a way to fit in little notes of some poor person's attempt at a diary to keep their senses in these corridors. (It won't work but that's the fun in it).

Anyway I'm really excited for this project and I'm super proud of the door so far!

YOU HAVE BIRDS??? CAN I SEE THEM????

I was really confused for a second and thought you meant like where I lived and I’m like yeah do you not have birds in Brazil 😭😭 anyway yeah I have two budgies I don’t have any recent pictures on hand tho so I’ll have to get you a picture later

[grimgrinnr]

Anyways. Unrelated but. I’m consumed by thoughts and ideas I’ve generated.

So uuuuuuuuh...

Never fucking let him near your muses or Hell. He will make everything worse. He will enjoy it. He will exploit it.

It’s horrible.

But I absolutely want to write it eventually-
