This account is trash, but shall I fix it? In this economy? I think the fuck not.

[totallyfubar]

I love saying “of course” instead of “you’re welcome,” like of course I’m helping you that’s what I do, you were foolish to even consider an alternate dimension in which I’m not helping you. you idiot. you absolute buffoon.

[sandstorminnightcity]

Us, Hungarians just say “naturally” or “heartfully.” As in, I helped you naturally or it came from my heart, there’s no need to thank us. You’re welcome doesn’t even exist here.

[totallyfubar]

I love that! Thanks for your addition

8 year old me: i am a 500 year old librarian and this is the most valuable book in my collection. i rescued it myself from a castle as it burned to the ground. *gingerly runs my little grubby hands down its spine and gazes wistfully out of the school bus window* i am the keeper of all civilization’s knowledge

[fillianore-moved]

so metropolitan museum of art has a register of books they’ve published that are out of print and that you can download for free! they’re mostly books on art, archeology, architecture, fashion and history and i just think that’s super useful and interesting so i wanted to share! you can find all of the books available here!

I just jerked out of my midday dissociation and realized that seed bombing a golf course with mint would be the ultimate crime.

Oh my god this is so evil. 

I love it. 

[terulakimban]

Not mint. Native wildflowers. Because sure mint’s hard to kill and never completely goes away. But mint can also be kept low to the ground, and if you turn the sprinklers off and returf, you can keep it in check. Flowers, though? With quick growth, and fast seeding? Plants that have bred themselves for millennia for exactly that soil and the natural local water conditions? Do it in small sections, and start near water features. By the time anyone realizes that they’re the “wrong” plants, they’ll have already flowered and gone to seed, and once that happens, they are there forever.  Source: mom may have used native wildflowers as spite plants before for a particularly obnoxious and lawn-proud neighbor who also lived downwind. Hypothetically, if she did this, she was also 1) a tenant and 2) not a fan of either the landlord or the local HOA. 

[kumabearsweetheart-deactivated2]

It’d be a shame if somebody linked to how to make wildflower seedbombs. It’s simple enough but some folks might not know how but might really, really want to because they’d want to do something they absolutely shouldn’t and so helping them with multiple links would be really bad, right? I am not suggesting you do anything. I’m not thinking of golf courses near me.

[meatthroat]

im flower bombing all golf courses this summer in the name of decolonization

[larkandkatydid]

I apologize for harshing everyone’s mellow but mint, wild carrot, amaranth, etc are actually incredibly easy to get rid of…..as long as you lack an ethical framework and are willing to constantly douse your property in the most powerful of herbicides. Which means, as long as you have the moral values of a golf course owner.

(That said, vacant lots, roadside ditches and various kinds of wetland set-asides are a great place to spread seed balls. There’s lots of unmaintained space where you can helpfully spread plants for local pollinators)

[aliensexdream]

Hi everyone. Please do not ever plant anything in a wetland! Or within 50 feet of a stream or river please - thats called the riparian zone. They are protected under the EPAs Clean Water Act (if yall are in US). Interested in ecological remediation? Restoring degraded land? Transforming golf courses into community amenties like parks? Improving the health of our freshwater systems? Become a landscape architect! But also of course hell yeah seed bomb any and all vacant lots, just double check your local invasives list first

[princessnijireiki]

^^^ Everything @aliensexdream said.

Also, for the love of god, if your “roadside ditches” are also drainage ditches, they actually serve an important function that they can’t do if they are clogged with the wrong kind of plants— there’s already major issues with storm drains, sewer grates, drainage ditches, etc. getting clogged with garbage, plastics, roadkill, and pesticide runoffs (that all potentially go into the community’s reclaimed water supply) without adding bulky plant material that may or may not also be invasive into the mix.

There’s massive flooding all over the Midwest as we speak & hurricane season just started for the Southeastern & Gulf states. PLEASE do not let your “stick it to the man” ecoterrorist fantasies fuck up your roadways or flood somebody’s basement when you could, like, volunteer at a state park or something instead.

condensed version: take action but don’t be a dummy

[writing-prompt-s]

The zombie outbreak started 2 years ago now you find yourself cornered by a decaying zombie when you do the unthinkable and bite it first when it falls to the floor and grows its skin back and sits up and asks what is going on

[writerlymagic]

This may be the best subversive idea for zombie apocalypse stories i think I’ve ever seen.

[xxbluandorangexx]

“How the fuck did you know that would work?”

“I didn’t, dude, I just fucking panicked.” 

[caffeinewitchcraft]

“Bitch, you’re going to eat me? Me?! I’ve crossed three states in two months, mostly on foot, and you’re going to eat me? Not if I eat you first, bitch!”

~Later, accepting yet another award for finding the cure~

“Honestly, I’d like to thank spite which has carried me through much more than these past two years. Pure, unadulterated spite and adrenaline fueled rage. Thank you.”

How about just being polite & going into a debate with those who hold diffrent beliefs then you?

how about you eat my shit and hair

[umm-whats-going-on]

Diógenes said you couldn’t spit anywhere but in the face of a rich man because once this rich dude invited him into his house and literally told him you can’t spit on anything that touches the floor so Diógenes spit in this guys face

[do-you-have-a-flag]

here is a very good painting of Diógenes in his tub that i had the good fortune of actually seeing earlier this year

[0kkvlt]

I love that Diogenes is making a comeback in the twenty-first century.

[aplpaca]

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

[aplpaca]

These

are more genetically compatible than These

and that’s why morphology-based phylogeny has Issues

[thellamamongler]

@aviculor

[aviculor]

The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the ‘standard’ animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms “look like” they’re related. When in fact they’re a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. It’s why people always say “breed” when they mean “species”, especially when talking about groups like lizards which can’t even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.

[thetinybutimportantthings]

I once read an article that emphasized there is no such thing as a fish. Sharks and rays, lamprey, lobe-finned fish like lungfish and coelacanth, bichir and sturgeon, and of course the multiple infraclasses of more “modern” fish groups are all only very distantly related to one another. They’ve maintained semi-similar body structures only because there are limited ways to efficiently move through water as a vertebrate. 

This

And this

Are more distantly related from one another than you and I are from a lungfish

Which is absolutely fuckin wild.

[bogleech]

Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three “fish” are to one another as well.

[i-have-approximately-4-bones]

these

are genetically closer than these

[i-have-approximately-4-bones]

and…

these

these

are more genetically similar than these

[raimagnolia]

That is the funniest thing i have ever read

[guardiandae]

you don’t owe your abusers your forgiveness

you don’t owe manipulative people your energy or space in your life

you don’t owe anyone an endless amount of second chances

you are allowed to cut ties with toxic people

you are allowed to mourn the good times and the healthy relationship you could have had with them

it’s not selfish to start putting your needs first

it’s not selfish to want happiness for yourself

it’s not your fault

there are people out there who will love and support you

you are stronger than you think

This is amazing @sexuallymonsterous you are a good person for putting this list together. 

[transitioning-nb]

Not all that related to this blog, but I wanted to share this anyway. To all survivors of abuse, please know that what happened to you was not your fault, you didn’t deserve what happened to you. You matter, you’re strong for still being here & putting up with what you’ve had to. Hold on. Know that you’re loved 💛💜🖤

[wilwheaton]

It took me 46 years to realize how consistently I had been emotionally abused as a child and adult, until I pulled away from my abuser and stopped letting him keep me in a toxic relationship. It’s never too late to reclaim your life from the people who hurt you, because you deserve to be happy and to live your best life.
