2319,

With cold weather approaching and the pandemic still raging on, I’ve been thinking a lot about the things I miss and what I wish I could stockpile. I’ve been working on a project to capture that feeling, making paper mache canned and boxed goods to illustrate what I’d be stocking my cupboards with if I could. Here’s the first batch!

How do you feel about. Bagworms cute little twisty twig towers. I found out they are not, in fact, always twig sacs like Animal Crossing made me believe and I love them

oh i love bagworms ! the structures they make are so incredibly diverse and intricate.. and definitely not just twigs! since their protective casings are based entirely on whats around them you can see all kinds of designs, and different species stick to different patterns and shapes

theyve got a really interesting life cycle, too - what youre seeing is a case made by the caterpillar of the bagworm moth, and inside of each case is where the caterpillar lives ( heres a picture of them outside of their little nest)

they start out as little worm only a few millimetres long and immediately start spinning silk around themselves, attaching any materials nearby to camouflage their bodies. they spend a big chunk of this stage meandering around their host plant, poking their heads out of their homes to eat ( although not all of them are herbivores! )

their home grows as they do, and eventually after theyve reached maximum size, the caterpillar affixes the top of their home to a branch or similar roost. they seal off the entrance and pupate....

and either emerge and winged male, who exists only to find a females case and help the cycle continue, or a female, who stays with her case and waits to be found! not all females are wingless though ( this new zealand one is especially pretty )

since theyre so iconic in japan, they show up as inspiration for creatures in a LOT of different places.....like all these guys !!! all bagworms !!

Dear Neil, I am a horrible person. How to be kinder, please?

Sometimes I suspect we are all horrible people. Or at least, we are human people. Same thing. We are impatient, judgmental, irritating and irritated, grumpy, easily offended and the rest of it.

So how to be kinder if it doesn’t come naturally?

Fake it.

Fake it a little bit at a time.

Because there isn’t actually any difference between doing something nice for someone because you are naturally saintly and perfect, and doing something nice for someone because you are secretly demonic and trying to cover it up. It’s still an act of kindness either way, and you still made their lives better.

Smile at people. Say hullo. Ask about their lives. Remember what they’ve told you about their lives. Do small things to try and help them. (They will not know you are horrible, do not worry. They will just perceive that you are helping.)

Give people the benefit of the doubt. Remember that it’s more often stupidity to blame than evil, that everyone can screw up (including you) and what’s important is learning from that.

Think “What would an actually kind person do now?” – and do that. Don’t beat yourself up when you fail. Just be as kind to yourself as you will be to others – even if you have to fake that.

And good luck.
