Look!!!! I caught the love dart in a photo!!!

[kedreeva]

Dang, lookit that thing. I found it discarded in the soil once they finally started moving again.

[hempseeeeds]

isnt the recipient supposed to eat/absorb it and make eggshells Out of it?

[kedreeva]

Nope! They make eggs separately, from calcium they've already eaten in their diet.

The love dart exists to carry hormones in a mucus coating, and is expelled shortly after mating occurs. The particular hormones on the dart help prevent the sperm that was exchanged from being digested by the receiving party and also sometimes can reduce the libido of the receiving party, meaning they will a) be able to use the sperm received because it is intact and b) won't seek out other mates, making it more likely the sperm received will be used.

Do you also raise snails???

[kedreeva]

Yep! I've currently just got the Helix lucorum breeding pair that I raised from hatchlings from my previous pair, and a single adult Otala lactea that I'm looking for a partner or two for. The place I got the lactea from was not... the best. The other one I got at the same time died within a couple days of coming home, never came out of its shell (I made sure it was ALIVE before I paid for it, but... must not have been alive by much). Alas. The hunt continues.

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

Heartwarming story: Little girl doesn’t have to do anything to fund her dad’s surgery because his expenses are covered by his country’s universal healthcare.

[charlesoberonn]

Human determination: Man bikes 18 miles to work every morning because he wants to and not because he can’t afford a car and would be fired if he’s late.

Spirit of Brotherhood: Neighbors host housewarming party for elderly resident who doesn’t need help in paying rent because his pension is more than enough.

[hyperlexichypatia]

SO INSPIRING: Local middle school students bake dozens of cupcakes because their home economics class is doing a baking unit. Their school is fully funded with everything they need.

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."
