a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered

[junestrings]

you can make a little oasis right where you are, and it matters

[headspace-hotel]

every year of restoring native plants I see a great increase in the insect populations, and loads of new insects i never saw before (all of them harmless--the insects that are harmful or parasitic on humans are the main ones being unaffected by the decrease in insect populations)

(a large part of) the problem is Plant Sameness. we must restore plant diversity

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

[sherbertilluminated]

Promethean task: opposite of a Cassandraean task. You have the right information, and SOMEONE has to share it. But it's all in the delivery and if you're the person to identify the problem you WILL be hated forever.

[thearrogantemu]

Oedipal Task: (1) Attempting to avoid an unspeakably awful outcome and in doing so creating the circumstances that will bring it about. (2) Trying to solve an problem and discovering that you are in fact the problem you are trying to solve.

[theoppositeofprofound]

Odyssean task: you’ll complete it but it’ll take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini-adventures

[lierdumoa]

Pandorean task: some people fucked around and now it's your job to make sure they find out

[itseasytoremember]

Orphesian Task: a task that seems simple but is designed to be impossible for the one tasked with it

[stickthisbig]

Dionysian Task: the plot of any stoner movie about trying to piece together what happened last night

[tachyon-at-rest]

"Odyessian Task" accurately describes a life with ADHD.

Too accurately perhaps

[mizgrownnonsense]

Penelopian task: So long as you look busy, you're good. Work slowly, and even undo some of the work if your have to, just don't let them catch on.

Feb 4, 2025 - Thousands of Los Angeles high school students walked out of class and marched on the city capitol in third straight day of Anti-ICE protests. (Source)

PROTESTS ARE HAPPENING. THEY ARE JUST NOT BEING COVERED OUTSIDE OF LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS. DO NOT RELY ON MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

There was a huge Trans-rights demonstration last night in New York outside of NYU Langone hospital in protest of their decision to halt gender-affirming care under Trump's order. (Source)

This from In Writing, a collection of writers reflecting on practice, really resonated with me.

immortalizing these tags

[internetkatze]

When me and my brother were toddlers and we spilled anything liquid, my mom would singsong, "[Name] Valdez! [Name] Valdez!"

Eventually, as we grew up, this morphed into just saying "Valdez!" whenever we spilled something. As far as I was concerned "Valdez" was just a word for "oops!" specifically in this context.

It wasn't until I was probably a teenager that I discovered she was referencing the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989.

you know it’s time to go to bed when the existential crisis strolls in

[xenosaurus]

if it’s the middle of the night and you suddenly hate yourself because you don’t read enough or your job sucks or you’re single or gender continues to happen or you gained weight or whatever is knocking on your… brain door? at ass o'clock at night, that is your brain saying it’s time to go the fuck to sleep, the crisis can come back during business hours
