MISCELLANEA

Greetings.

[astranite]

PINNED!!!!!!! POST!!!!!!

They/them (or anything interesting, I'd like to see some new ones, give them to me.)

:sparkles: I love asks and messages and being @ ed in posts and yapping and unhinged rambles and the power of friendship. I might or might not even bite. :sparkles:

The subject areas that fascinate me are too numerous to list. You can find out my lore though research.

AstraNite on Ao3.

Star Wars and such shenanigans sideblob: kara-knight (pun intentional)

How I tag things is something you can find out for yourself in the depths of this blog.

The Thunderbirds and every other past hyperfixation or special interest is not dead, merely dormant.

The fucks I have to give are steadily being defenestrated. I endeavour to continue to grow weirder; it is freeing.

This is one of the most powerful images I have ever seen, and I will reblog it every single time because every single time it brings tears to my eyes.

Idk what person with chronic illness needs to hear this, but you can do things to make your responsibilities nicer for yourself. You can get an ice cream after a blood draw. You can sit down for tv time after an injection. You can pick out the bandaids that have cartoon characters on them instead of the plain ones. Being an adult doesn’t stop you from benefiting from encouragement. Go for whatever fits with your routine/abilities/budget and makes life a little better. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down etc etc

Today's wasp of the day is the thistledown velvet ant (Dasymutilla gloriosa)!

Credits: photo 1, photo 2

Also known as the glorious velvet ant, this tiny ambling squeaker has confused scientists with her fashion choices. At first it was believed that she was mimicking the fruits of the creosote bush (Larrea tridentata), which are also common around her stomping grounds. Turns out that she's been wearing white millions years before the plant arrived on its landmass. Now it is believed that her white fuzz simply helps her keep cool— which isn't as exciting of an answer but still an interesting look into how organisms adapt to living in the desert.

[nadiacreek]

This is one of my husband’s favorite short stories. He quotes it from memory. I’m pretty sure he can recite the entire thing from memory.

[elodieunderglass]

This is a tremendously impactful short story and every time I see it, it serves as an excellent reboot button for my state of mind.
