🍜Hello, world! Call me Hostuu🍜

}<///o> My robotkin name is Robbie█

Sci-fi is my heritage. I was born to the jews of southern california, the makers of hollywood and Spock. More literally, I'm a robot; I'm from sci-fi. My fellow mechanicals are one of my favorite tropes of sci-fi, fantasy, and jewish myth. I call them my factory family.

- My favorite color is geen!

- Recently, deep purple has become a close second

- Playlist

- Pronoun card

- I am the type of person who likes to count blessings but also recognize the grittiness of the world

- My long-term interests I can name off the top of my head:

- Writing, especially collaborative writing

- Modern and ancient native american art, storytelling, and versions of christian religion and pagan religion

- Ricing (making a computer look fancy and/or more fun to use with keyboard shortcuts. Of course the robot likes this 🙄)

Name an old sci-fi and I progally like it. Invader zim, star trek, star wars, star gate, doctor who, hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, red dwarf, that sort of stuff. I like monty python as well.

I'm into TTRPGs but only play dnd because there are more resources for that sort of thing. When I do play dnd, I like studying the lore of the forgotten realms. I'm a huge roleplayer because I LOVE collaborative art. And... guess what... I play a lot of robots. I'm pretty good at writing characters, writing has been one of my lifelong passions.

I'm a minor. I know when you are creepy, and I will tell an authority figure.

I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has resumed the practice of clearing out homeless encampments, saying he has retooled the process.

tsunderemployee

Library advocates called the mayor’s proposed budget “terrible.”

loth-caatgirl

aw-dag

you are all so fucking stupid. Midterms year and you’re already swallowing cherry-picked, out of context “quotes” without ANY percentage of effort into finding out where they’re from. Astonishing considering he extensively details exactly what he’s doing and why online.

The first is that he has removed funding from the NYPD to put it into a homeless outreach department which will connect homeless with social services and shelters. Homeless sweeps are going to remain a problem in America as long as we have our psychiatry and affordability crises, neither of which can be resolved by a mayor. This is the first step AWAY from just having the nypd go in and immediately knock people around and throw out their shit.

The second is part of his threat against the governor that if she does not approve increasing taxes on the wealthy, which NYers overwhelmingly voted for, he will have to cut social services and programs that would look BAD FOR DEMS TO CUT because Hochul (NY’s governor) is up for reelection this year and her last election was an uncomfortably close call. He is making a political trap for centrist Dem prospects at successfully maintaining control of the state legislature, because if the governor blocks what NYC wants then we can’t work with the state legislature either way. Which he discussed extensively and you can watch his budget breakdown proposals free on his YouTube page.

This is NOT his actual approved budget, this is him saying how much would have to come out of existing already-gutted services because of the massive deficit left by Adam’s’ administration IF the governor continues to block his proposed wealth and business tax, which could ultimately cost her the state this upcoming election cycle. He’s playing hard ball but he’s also being transparent about why and you STILL fall for wah wah wah don’t bother voting blue/no alternative/stay home and do nothing ass posts like this. This is an election year! If you haven’t looked it up, do NOT blindly believe and reblog.

Hexagonal growth in a black olive tree

peppermintsolarpunk

Let's play: Is it AI or Real?

Red flags: Unbelievable nature you've never seen before!, no external source cited, low image quality could be hiding AI artifacts, lacks scientific name for plant, OP is an aesthetic blog (no offense, I see you credit most of the artists you post, OP <3).

Green flags: Common name of the tree provided (although the leaves don't look like any olive tree I've ever seen).

Reverse image searches and citation trails all seem to lead back to now-deleted Reddit posts. Google Images says it's this one in r/NatureIsFuckingLit, and TinEye says it's this one in r/interestingasfuck. Both were posted back in 2020. This is important because the rise of AI images was in 2022.

People in the comments of places this image is posted throw around botanical terms like "dichotomous branching" [branches split into two at the nodes] and "divaricated" [branches grow far apart from each other], which are cool, but don't tell me what the tree is.

Searching up "Black Olive" on iNaturalist finally got me some answers, and it turns out that YES. This is a real tree! This tree is a Dwarf Black Olive (Terminalia molinetii, Formerly Bucida spinosa). The above photos are some particularly nicely framed shots of a tree with particularly small leaves, which really highlights the branching structure. I really wish we knew the photographer's name. Here are some more photos of the same species:

Terminalia molinetii by jriveracruz50 on iNaturalist, posted under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license.

This tree is native to Southern Mexico, Belize, the southern tip of Florida, and Cuba. Dwarf Black Olives are completely unrelated to Olive trees in the Olea genus that I'm more familiar with (the former is in Order Myrtales [Myrtles, Evening Primroses, and Allies], and the latter is in Order Lamiales [Mints, Plantains, Olives, and Allies]).

Stay critical, and –more importantly– curious, y'all! The world is a beautiful place, we don't need fictional plants passed off as real ones for that to be true.
