i really like when folks ramble and infodump about their OCs to me, doesnt even need to be a friend, tho being friend is a real nice bonus

please, tell me on and without end about your little mind-spawn, i am all ear (singular).

this is an open invitation to any of my moots and oomfs to beat me over the thorax with their OCs btw

hey there, disabilty pride month is almost over (or over already if you live in the eastern hemisphere) but lemme put yall onto something real quick

those? those are tactile floors, or tactile pavement, depending on the region it seems (where i live we call it braille tiles), and they are super helpful for blind and other visually impaired people!

if you can, write an email or give a call to your local city official to see if they can get some installed, at least in areas of heavy foot traffic. A plastic or PVC one is dirt cheap and can last for up to good year before needing replacement.

just because youre made of stardust & other gay shit doesnt mean that a bug isnt. be nice to a bug today

[cicadalicker]

btw if i use too many big words its NOT because im trying to sound smart, i just genuinely dont know a better word to use

if i knew short word i'd use short word, but only long word do trick!

imagine you are blind and getting handed some "Dona" by the pharmacist.

This is easily one of the CRAZIEST videos I've ever gotten. I was rafting down a river when a Yellow Jacket came, landed on my bright pink waterproof phone pouch, and started drinking from the water droplets that had gathered there.

The most amazing part is how the water droplet magnifies the Hornet's mouth parts, so you get to see them up-close!!!! It was FASCINATING to witness!

Here's some of my favorite still shots from that video:

What do you think? 🥰

one of the many pros of living with a polyamorous brother is that every single one of his boyfriends wants to make a good first impression, so i get a lot of little gifts when they first come around

one of the many cons is............................................................ honestly i have yet to find

[cytochrome-sea]

i think i just have to accept that my taste in men is just angsty bisexuals who look like cockroaches that won’t die no matter how much raid you spray on them

[cytochrome-sea]
