Go Suck a Cactus @chrisofgrizzcohateblog - Tumblr Blog

On average, joshua trees live to be around 500 years, but some of the oldest have lived to be 1000!

Joshua trees have a very limited range, primarily growing in the Mojave desert in North America between elevations of 2-6 thousand feet!

I planted some saguaro seeds about a week ago. Who woukda thunk that such large lads start out so smol. (submitted @nolayelde)

this speaks for itself when paired with a pic of the grown plant for scale:

they usually live to be 150+ years old. cutting one down in Arizona, where they’re native, is a felony with a maximum 9 months in prison.

in my brief wikipedia exploration to find out how old they could be for this ask i found out that there was a dude in 1982 who was vandalizing one (which is also highly illegal) by shooting at it and then poking at it, and not only did the 500 pound arm of the cactus he was shooting at fall on top of him, but the actual trunk of the cactus then also proceeded to fall on him. he died. smited by the cactus gods for his transgressions

There was one we had in our backyard that fell on our fence and buckled the steel bar. When the guy came by to take it away he sliced into roughly foot long segments and we kept one. It was really cool in the inside, also the chlorophyll is on the inside. My mom turned the outer layer into a lampshade

Sorry it’s dusty lmao no idea how to clean it

i…………..idk how to react to this but this is definitely an item i wasn’t expecting

here’s another fun fact about saguaro cactuses (or cacti - both are fine!): when they die, the flesh on them erodes away and leaves these really cool wood-like structures

they’re called bones. these are cactus bones

……oh

I didn’t know that cacti had bones 😳

#i did :D #mod AJ

Anyways, you had questions?

(i read your other ask, not sure if you’d want that to be shared publicly, so i’m screenshotting it jhgksdj) yeah, i do have some;

why was Chris so rude about others drawing any ship art (mostly pearlina and agent24)?

why did he add on some. eh images after he would rb the post?

why would he repost the artwork and bash on the content?

-mod callie

Hey there! I'm (well, used to be?) Chris's friend. He actually doesn't dislike gay people (probably?) It may have just been all of my agent 24 ship art, but he was surprisingly supportive and sweet. (I remember him showing me his blog. I was weirded out but I didn't say anything.)((We haven't spoken in a while, though.))

oh??? well, that’s surprising to say the least. I’d, like to know a little more since his front did give everyone the idea that he dislikes homosexual ships. I’ve got a few questions haha-mod callie

the holidays are coming up fast so dont forget to decorate your cactus pots and containers!

“Pearlina is canon” I say into the mic. The crowd cheers. I fill with pride begin to walk off stage, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room. “They’re wrong!” they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 69th row stands chrisofgrizzco himself. Before i can speak, he is punted directly through the ceiling. In his place stand pearl and marina themselves. “Gay rights!” pearl shouts. The crowd cheers once more.
