something thats funny about bugs is that my grandma Hates Bugs and she is constantly constantly spraying any bug she finds in her house especially spiders. always using massive amounts of poison.

I do not use any poisons or insecticides and I actively encourage my house spiders

the result is that her home is full of poison-resistant cockroaches and nothing else, while mine is a healthy bug ecosystem of Mostly Spiders and sometimes the junebugs who like to come die in my sink. and the moths that I have to rescue from Glimmer. but no roaches!

pest control is just such a scam and it troubles me deeply how normalized it is idk. people react with revulsion when I'm like "no I just encourage the house spiders and they do a pretty good job" bc they are classing house spiders as equally bad as every other bug and that's TERRIBLE bc bugs are TERRIBLE due to they're YUCKY

rather than like. some bugs will leave you alone. some bugs want to eat you or your house. other bugs pose health and safety hazards bc they want to infest your cornflakes. a healthy crop of house spiders will prevent all of these from becoming a problem much of the time, barring extreme circumstances

I think the pest control industry is one of the worst ones and a lot of that is honestly ideological if that makes sense? like the way the existence of the pest control industry necessitates a narrative about animals that live in and near our homes that is. well. extremely violent and weirdly sterile and aggressive

yes!!!!! and going beyond the indoors, when people broadcast insecticides to “manage” mosquitos, the mosquitos end up largely unaffected but all the predatory insects take a big hit, and you end up with… more mosquitos! and when people flip their shit about rat snakes existing and ~stealing eggs~ like you’ll never believe what there’s less of around when there’s rat snakes. and what is more likely to hurt your chickens than the snake.

and when people poison those rats then that ends up killing the birds of prey and you end up with More Rats and More Poison. like not only is it evil it’s just ineffective and requires a constant escalation of poison it’s so bad. we do not live on a planet where poisoning everything is a reasonable or functional management strategy.

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕

"oh food now has so much added to it, past food was so pure and untainted" victorians used to cut bread with chalk and aluminum powder. romans put lead in the wine, which was made from dirty feet mushing unwashed grapes covered in horse shit and road dust. i think our species will survive a few additives in food. our food systems have never been cleaner and safer. it has room for improvement, but we're not putting fucking plaster of paris in the milk
