it's funny how "press F to pay respects" was such a gigantic meme that it seems to have permanently affected the way we talk online. people use it completely genuinely and unironically. had a bad day? F. died in a videogame? F. I see it constantly in Discord, Twitch and ingame chats. like it's actually being used as common shorthand. when it only gained prominence because of how hilariously stupid this screenshot is

Everyone's all "ohhh 2026 bring back physical media" until I start talking illuminated manuscripts and then suddenly we're not on the same page anymore

[somewhere-south-of-neutral]

Actually we are on the same page. We've been on the same page for a week because these things take forever to make

I miss my leeches for all the normal pet reasons but I also miss being able to use them as a one-hit death blow to end stupid conversations. Whenever I defend the ecological importance of parasites someone will inevitably crawl up and go “well I bet you wouldn’t feel that way if you had them” and oooooo boy let me tell you. It was so fun to hit back with “I DO” and then whip out my phone and show them 30 pictures of my fucking Worms

“And what about parasite-borne illnesses? You wouldn’t be defending ticks if you got a disease from them”

GUESS AGAIN MOTHERFUCKER

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

Looking at pictures of beautiful Cherokee-made river cane baskets is so difficult, though. Because not only did the colonial US uproot and kill so, so many Cherokee peoples and do its damndest to destroy their culture, but we actually destroyed the very landscape from which that culture sprang. The canebrakes are all but gone. I've never seen one. They used to be vast. Now people don't know they existed. Don't think I'll ever get over that.

But it still exists. Rivercane, North America's native bamboo is not all gone, any more than the peoples who lived in partnership with it. There are research and conservation projects out there. So here. I can't even find a good photo of a true, large canebrake, but there's this:

And for scale, if you squint, this photo came up a few times as I look:

I'd like to imagine a future where we learn to live in teamwork with this amazing plant again, using it to create beautiful things like this basket.

The source of this image and one above is well worth a read as well.

But more than that, I'd like to think we could see it as a tool to address modern problems as well, as bamboo is used in much of Asia, and a partner in the fight against climate change and environmental degradation.

I just hope that someday, maybe when I'm old, I can see with my own eyes a vast forest of rivercane, teeming with life.

I'm at the point where if I'm interested in something and upon looking it up it's only available to stream through some app I don't have and usually haven't heard of I just decide to forget about it until the day I randomly look it up again and it's on a streaming service I actually have access to

been sort of obsessively combing through articles and websites and resources about top surgery and recovery more and more as I gear up to My Big Day and while I hate to report I may have gotten through most of the scientifically rigorous and reputable sites I am at least, now, stumbling over some of the funnier AI generated slop images i've ever seen in my quest for Patient Information

They missed. 😔
