One thing im uncomfortably woke about is bugs. And im actively trying to get more uncomfortably woke. By this i mean i DO believe the normalised fear of bugs stems from both government and business propaganda. The start of household pesticide sales coinciding with the boom in insect related horror movies. The promotion of anti intellectualism and anti enviromentalism. If you're scared of bugs, you wont care about saving them. If you dont care about saving them, you wont care about saving our home, since without bugs it cannot be saved. If you dont care about saving our home, the rich can do whatever they want with the chunks of it they continue to destroy.

I WILL calmly and kindly try to help anyone who is afraid of bugs. I will show them my finds, i will explain their importance, i will tell them just how sweet and gentle and friendly they are. And I WILL shoot down any immature loser who believes senseless killing is the only possible response to not liking something.

Get woke. Love bugs.

EDIT: this breached containment. My usual like count is like 5 😭 i want to clarify i mean people who conflate fear with hate are the ones who wont care about saving our planet, like people who threaten to kill peoples pet bugs or actively kill bugs outside for no apparent reason. Not people who run away from a bee.

Everything I read about recovering from burnout is like “it takes months or even years to fully recover” and it’s like okay…. I have a weekend before I gotta clock in on Monday

Just gonna leave this here

[coinandcandle]

Local house witch telling you to please learn basic housekeeping skills.

It’s not your fault if no one ever taught you but YouTube is a magical place and can teach you at your own pace.

[coinandcandle]

Someone asked me what housekeeping skills I’d recommend learning.

Keep in ming that this is not me shaming you, I know you have your reasons, folks. This is just a guy who enjoys clean spaces asking that you start learning now.

Here’s what I suggest as an adult who has lived with other adults who didn’t have housekeeping skills:

First and foremost, learn about all the places in your house that need to be cleaned and understand how often they should be cleaned. the American Cleaning Institute (I guess that’s a thing) has a good article about basic cleaning info. Plus this video on cleaning tips is great!

Learn how to do your dishes. HOT water is the only way to clean your dishes.

Learn how to clean your shower head, especially if you live in a place with hard water. Same goes for your sinks.

Learn how to do your laundry correctly. Even without the whole “separating whites and colors” thing, there are things you need to learn about washing your clothes. Learn what the tags mean, too.

Also, you don’t have to use fabric softener and you shouldn’t use it on towels or any fabric meant to absorb. (Learn about laundromats) And please learn how to clean out your dryer vent, it’s a safety hazard!

Get a disinfecting cleaner for your high-touch areas, especially the gross ones like the bathroom. Just because it doesn’t look dirty, doesn’t mean it’s clean!

Learn how to sweep, mop, and vacuum effectively.

You’ll also want to make sure to change out your home’s air filters.

TL;DR, here are some cleaning videos.

How to Clean Everything in Your Bathroom

How to Clean Everything in Your Kitchen

Livingroom Cleaning Routine

How to Clean Everything in Your Bedroom

Now these resources are not the end-all-be-all, but I think if you don’t know much about cleaning your space this is a good way to start.

[thumperdaetime]

here’s some of the things that are helping me actually clean (as an adult who had messy parents, and has a hard time getting threw my nurodivergency about cleaning specifically) that may be helpful to you:

Favorite Cleaning Book: it helps you work through the emotional side of cleaning (and other care tasks)

Current Favorite Decluttering Method/Concept: it helps you know how much is too much to keep and how to get started when you’re overwhelmed. (having too much stuff makes it incredibly hard to clean/organize.)

Basic Cleaning Skills: this channel is amazing! this man has a special interest in cleaning and cleans people’s spaces who deal nurodivergence that make it hard to clean. he does this for free (or at a deficit because he pays for supplies and dumpsters and transport and such) and does it all with empathy and kindness working With the people as much as people can handle instead of just coming in to “fix” an issue. these videos are a bit different from his usual ones, (the last one’s most like his usual videos) but i find having the sped up cleaning videos with a voiceover can help fill in for body doubling when im too ashamed to bring people into my messy spaces.

I’m gonna queue this as well so you’ll be seeing it again from me in a few months without any comments on it, but this is all good things to know

[aqueerkettleofish]

For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."

Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.

Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.

Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.

The best part is the local city council's reaction.

And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.

i bring a sort of "every bug is important to the ecosystem even if i don't know what they exist for, and thinking they should go extinct because i don't like them is a really bad and harmful way of thinking about the world" to the animal discussions that people who think bugs are useless and shouldn't exist because they 'don't have any benefit to humans' don't really like

[rakel-on-ao3]

(I originally posted this on a community page, before realising that meant it could not be reblogged. So here's it again. Enjoy.)

Ok so I've had this thought for a while, but it's time to articulate it properly.

Time to talk about colours and foils.

PHM does a lot of very impressive and intricate work with colour, right? Earth scenes have earth colours, and especially bold, vivid colours are reserved for the beauty of space - Adrian being the prime example.

Thing is - within the movie's relatively restrained "Earth" palette, there are nonetheless still some vivid colours to go around: blues and yellows. Remind you of anyone? Someone blonde and blue-eyed? We've all clocked that Grace wears the colours of the aroace flag whenever he's wearing his "Earth" clothes, and I claim it's because those are the colours of the sky.

hold for tumblr trauma

Grace is literally dressed in the colours of a clear, sunny sky - sometimes with a dash of white, like a little cloud. Which is kind of interesting, because despite his arguably sunny disposition, Grace doesn't spend most of his time being... happy. He's scared, anxious, pessimistic. Terrified.

But reading between the lines, we all know he lights up the world for the people around him. He makes friends wherever he goes, just by virtue of being who he is, even if he doesn't understand the impact he has on others.

And then there is his counterpart: Eva Stratt.

Eva Stratt who is so grimly optimistic that she (in the movie) believes in a higher power to help guide them to shore, because "it's better than the alternative". She looked the looming astrophage catastrophe right in the eye and decided she would do absolutely anything to stop it. And she does it dressed almost entirely in dark colours, mostly black.

Stratt who actively refrains from intimate connection, while so clearly demonstrating why she thinks she has to. Insert karaoke scene here. Insert "don't make it harder than it needs to be" here. She could, but she won't. As opposed to Grace, who needs to, but can't.

The movie frankly goes out of its way to have Stratt and Grace stand beside each other, and the only thing I can think when I see them is, oh, he's the day and she's the night.

And when the sun starts setting on Grace, and he is pressured to leave the Earth he loves so much, he is wearing a dark jumper and a dark beanie.

And when Stratt takes Grace aside and tells him what is about to happen, she is wearing a soft, cream jumper.

A new dawn is breaking. The Earth keeps turning, whether you like it or not.

Earth is about to lose its sun, one way or another.

[rakel-on-ao3]

I keep thinking about this. I keeeeeep thinking about the colours of their clothes and I think it's about layers.

I keep asking myself what makes Stratt special. Not in the book: how does the movie make Stratt special to Grace? Because we all saw him - we all saw how Grace approaches people he is interested in. He'll point at someone across the room and say out loud that he likes them. He and Carl were work buddies of the highest caliber. How can I claim that Grace is struggling to establish emotional connections with people when he seems quite adept at it? Why is Stratt's betrayal the centre of attention? Yes, she is in charge, but Grace doesn't treat her as his boss or superior.

I can't find a suitable screen cap, but think about the scene where Grace and Stratt are drinking coffee outside. It's raining. Grace brings her the coffee for the both of them to share. They speak like peers.

Grace is not happy. He seems down, he won't take pride in his work, he can't take a compliment. He's already wearing the dark jumper and the dark beanie, with his yellow raincoat layered on top.

Stratt doesn't let him get away with his negativity (take the compliment and that's an order) and when Grace tries to talk to her about the future, she smiles. She is bundled up to the point where only her face is visible. She is already wearing that knitted cream sweater underneath.

In the movie, Stratt is the only other person who gets to see who Grace is under the happy go lucky teacher persona he presents to most of the world. This is not an organic relationship. They are coworkers, project leaders, professionals. But it is intense, gruelling, desperate work, and as Stratt pointed out herself: the camraderie makes it easier.

They live on top of each other, because they have to, and let me tell you - as someone who has similar issues with establishing (intimate) relationships, there is no better excuse to let your guard down than being stuck in the same place. Classmates, coworkers, people you would be forced to interact with regardless - they can't reject you, because they didn't choose you to begin with.

It's not that Grace is the day while Stratt is the night. They just have different sides that they present to the world. Stratt purposefully and strategically hides her "light" side. Grace hides his "dark" side out of insecurity and shame. Being known is showing all sides of yourself.

Grace showed Stratt both his light and his dark side, and carefully started reaching out to her. Stratt smiled in response.

And then the research facility went up in flames, taking both the primary and secondary science officer with it.

[great-and-small]

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

[great-and-small]

“No I can’t come out tonight I’m sobbing about this entomologist’s heartfelt plea for someone to care about an endangered moth”

[bogleech]

This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.

[thepastisaroadmap]

[Image description: text from a section titled On Being Endangered: An Afterthought that says:

Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.

We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]

But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?
