Zombie Inc

Hi. Im Emma Margaret. 22. From Canada, eh. Not in fact a zombie. I follow as @clever-margaery.

[solarpunk-aesthetic]

This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of illumination. It even likes to play with humans.

Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.

The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, its purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”

I don’t care if it’s silly. I want one.

What Your Favourite Season Says About You

• Autumn: You are a naturally reflective person, feeling your most at-home when lost in thought. You seek adventure in all its forms, even - and sometimes especially - if it means venturing out alone, as you tend to be very comfortable in your independence, which others don’t always seem to understand. You are the type of person who finds beauty within change, who seems to find inspiration most everywhere they go, and who possesses a warm and nurturing heart. Adorer of places that are both vibrant in atmosphere and energy, and also allow for good observing — bookshops, café’s, museums, and cobblestone roads.

• Winter: You are a listener, one who is very content in providing comfort to others who may be seeking emotional refuge. While certainly not a “cold-hearted” person, you do tend to be less outwardly emotional, really only opening up to a select few. This gains you a reputation for coming across as reserved, when in actuality you are just pensive and quite-natured. However, during those times in which you are feeling more open, you prove to be an individual with an especially whimsical set of thoughts, and really quite friendly. You value your loved ones highly, and will gladly help them out with all of your being if duty ever calls. Adorer of places that possess a certain aura of magic within their history, and allow for quiet contemplation — chapels, old cabins, stretches of forest road.

• Spring: You are the ultimate in natural-born leaders, standing out as someone who is generally bright and optimistic. You prefer to accomplish your self-set goals in creative ways, as you are the keeper of a naturally imaginative soul. It is easy for you to be overlooked as someone who is simply too cheery or ambitious at times, but deep down, you are just incredibly feeling and empathetic and wish for the best to be brought out in everyone. Being innovative, easygoing, and artistic are what keeps you thriving the most. You largely invite inner growth through change, welcoming it in all forms. Adorer of places that appeal to beings from all walks of life, as you love the feeling of unity — parks, campgrounds, rallies.

• Summer: You are a free-spirited opportunist, which has its tendency to get you into trouble, but you simply adore creating memories. Your main goal is, more often than not; to try and see as much as you can, as you truly feel how short life is, and how little time we have to experience existence in a lively manner. You have a talent for balancing this bubbly energy with taking breaks — You know full-well that you feel your best when your mind is well-rested and can fully, freshly appreciate all the new memories you have yet to make. Adorer of places that possess high-energy, beckoning you with the promise of seeing new things — beaches, amusement parks, theatres.

are you ready for my favorite fact?

If you leave a hamster wheel out in the forest, wild mice will come and run on it.

that is my favorite fact

[blueelectricangels]

Bobcats and lynx will sit in cardboard boxes abandoned in the middle of the forest.

I asked the lynx researcher who told me this why, and he said “Cats, man” and shrugged.

Being depressed is really weird because you want someone to care enough to check on you but you don’t want someone to care enough to worry about you

This spring, I'm going to learn from the plants! I'm going to drink more water and bathe in sunlight so I can continue to grow beautifully 🌱💧🌞 http://ift.tt/2IBp8Zk

[constellation-suggestions]

i crave the most domestic things, like grocery shopping and wearing each other’s clothes. movie nights and game nights. catching you singing in the shower, and you catching me dancing in the kitchen. extravagant things are once in a while. it’s these that life is made of.
