Crayola had a very eventful day today!

She

- certainly didn't take a dip in her pond and make a big huge mess

- climbed to the very top of her princess tower and needed to be airlifted down

- took a time out in the opposite corner of her tank afterwards

Remember "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" ? I feel like there's been a distancing from the "reduce" and "reuse" part and a favoritism towards "recycle" by corporate American.

Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.

Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)

Reducing is the one everyone wants to ignore. Just don't buy Plastic Thing 1. You don't need Plastic Thing 1. Pick up a set of metal forks and use those for years. Convenience is killing the planet

[ladytabletop]

the slogan is in that order for a reason! It is listed in order of effectiveness and impact; if you can't reduce, reuse. If you can't reuse, recycle.

[cwicseolfor]

Refuse what you don’t need

Reduce what you can

Reuse everything still in working order

Recirculate what you don’t need by sharing or selling onward

Refurbish what’s fallen out of good condition so it lasts longer

Repair what’s broken altogether

Repurpose what can’t serve its original function

Recycle what is unsuitable for repurposing

What goes unsaid here is why they’re all “re-“ prefixed: it’s about circularity. Keeping the resources in use means that we don’t have to keep incurring the environmental costs of production over and over on infinite one-way trips of new stuff starting in the earth, through human society, and right back into the earth in landfill.

[boycritter]

maybe i like my tech a little bit inconvenient

[boycritter]

maybe i like pulling out my debit card instead of using apple pay. maybe i like untangling my wired headphones. maybe i like typing something into the search bar instead of using siri or whatever. maybe i like curating my own social media feeds over an algorithm. i just don’t think everything has to be perfectly streamlined and efficient i like it when things feel tethered to the real world.

tumblr is like yes we can and must talk about complex sensitive issues but if anyone insists on applying nuance to the discussion I will assume they are taking the opposite polarized stance to mine and now they're clearly my enemy

Why vote for the short finned eel as Australia's most underrated animal?

1: Look At Them

2: They can climb walls including yours

3: They fuck at sea (admirable)

4: I love them

[evies-grace]

i wonder what hes thinking about

All animals are either Beasts or Creatures. This is usually consistent for a given species, but not always; for example, most dogs are Beasts and most cats are Creatures, but occasionally one will encounter a cat who is clearly a Beast, or dog who's an absolute Creature.

[v3rb4tim]

I want you to know, this has sparked quite the discussion amongst our hotel room. We've decided that Werewolf is the epitome of Beast and Gray Alien is the epitome of a Creature, and things can be categorized based on where in that spectrum they lie.

Seagulls are beasts, octopus are creatures, various fish have caused contention (as fish are wont to do in discussions of taxonomy), and now we're deciding if carnivorous plants can be categorized at all.

[v3rb4tim]

We've added the third category of Critter

[prokopetz]

Elapsed time between initial proposal of taxonomy and proposal of the addition of a wastebin taxon: 45 minutes.

AgResearch constructs grass jungle

Giant bugs, parasitic wasps, and people will be combined at this years’ Fieldays to educate the punters on pest control.

[icannotgetoverbirds]

According to the article, this was for a display, and there are MORE of them ("four giant bugs, measuring around one and half metres long, and nine smaller bugs, that are about half a metre long"), but I'm having a hard time finding them. I need to see the Big Bugs. I already emailed the company that did the exhibition asking for pictures of the rest of them but if y'all have any info BLEASE show me.

when ur buddy gets a little too drunk and starts hugging random humans and you just have to sit there and deal with it beecause you love them but it's still really awkward

[icannotgetoverbirds]

[icannotgetoverbirds]

Visiting Ogtha's family for Christmas

[smellmyhead]

I hadn't even scrolled down to the bottom of the first picture before I said aloud: "Yes!"

Having scrolled all the way down, I concur: "Yes!"

[inspect-my-insect]

Like someone already said in the replies, the initial picture is not Weta Workshop. The article says "the bugs, made by Auckland model maker John Osbourne and Christchurch company Theme Productions". All the rest of the pics are from a different exhibit.
