Part of the reason I'm so adamant about encouraging people to get comfortable with bugs, my own interests aside, is because we cannot have a bright, solarpunk future without them.

A green future is not a bugless future. It is, in fact, a fairly bugful future. If you care about ecological stability, then you need to start with bugs, because they're the most at risk with our current use of pesticides.

Obligatory plug for the Xerces Society, a nonprofit devoted to invertebrate conservation! They do a lot of work around pollinator conservation (but not only pollinator conservation!), and recognize that insects and other invertebrates are essential, even foundational, to ecological health. They work with farmers on preserving insect habitat around the edges of their fields, and municipalities and the public on how to plant native species and avoid pesticides in backyards and along roadsides.

One of the really exciting things about insect conservation is that even little tiny plots of plantings help! You don't need an entire backyard to contribute; even a balcony container garden can help provide habitat for invertebrates!

dandelions deserve more respect than they get

you say “weeds” I say “widespread non-native edible plant and early-blooming pollinator resource that is not considered invasive because it behaves politely and does not cause deleterious ecological consequences”

The dandelions aren’t gonna fuck you bro

[glumshoe]

they have and they will

ants are genuinely so chill.

i don’t understand where this immense fear of ants we have in our society comes from. ants, wasps, bugs in general.

literlly slow down and take two seconds to allow them to exist in your world and you’ll see how wonderful and sweet and curious they are.

i have a whole bunch of twig ants in my room. no idea where they came from - but we don’t use pest control so we have lots of bugs around.

they are the sweetest gentlest babies in the entire world. they come and hang out with me while i’m at my computer, running over my hands and my mouse. i give them drops of water and they sniff out the juice in my cup if i have any.

what is so interesting to me, is that in the past few years i’ve spent seeking out bugs as much as i can - i’ve been bitten by an ant maybe… three times? and each time was when they had gotten caught in my clothing and got scared.

there’s this table on my campus that is always covered in ants. hardly anyone sits there because of it. but they just like…. don’t do anything?? i sit there all the time and i’ve only ever been bitten ONCE sitting at that table, when a poor little ant got stuck under my sock and was scared.

don’t get me wrong, i completely understand fearing wasps or ants due to allergies. that i understand.

it’s when it’s just the simple fear of them existing, that i don’t understand. seriously, when you don’t put your whole damn foot in their nest or spray their hive with a hose, they’re just chill.

they’re so sweet, they’re so curious, they’re so chill.

ants and wasps and all bugs deserve so much more love than they get. Please PLEASE PLEASE give your local buggies some love today 🐜🐜

LITERALLY!!! Like we had ant in our kitchen and cause our food is stored in containers and fridge and shit all they did was clean up the crumbs for us 🥺🥺

"just write a little every day" ok but what if i write nothing for 3 weeks and then suddenly type like i’m being hunted by god

[seth-whumps]

characters apologizing for things they have no control over. mumbling sorry while losing consciousness. feeling ashamed of a bleeding wound. embarrassed when an infection sets in. deep seated feverish guilt when they need to be carried, when their legs won't keep them upright anymore and they lean heavy on a friend, slurring apologies..........

[lovergirlmp3]

guys. i really like you. it's nice to be on this dashboard together

gofundme for my clown statue in the corner of the room, i don't remember buying it but im sure i did. It keeps coughing and sniffling so i think it got sick or something. Any penny helps i hate to see my statue in so much pain
