Do you think you're better off alone?

The Longleaf Pine (Pinus Palustris) was once one of the most extensive forest ecosystems in southeastern North America. But it has nearly vanished without notice. Longleaf pine is the key tree species in a complex of fire-dependent forest ecosystems long native to the US. Its existance was dependent on periodic fire, to which it is adapted. Without fire, the species would be outcompeted by other hartier tree species. Longleaf pine forests provide habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna, and its reduction has caused the endangerment of key wildlife and 191 species of plants. But the forests were also economically important to humans, who harvested the Longleaf Pine for its staight, strong timber until near exhastion of the timber source. Today, there are concerted and committed efforts to restore and manage longleaf pine ecosystems. While before, the wildfires were caused by dry climate and lightning, now perscribed burns are set intentionally in an effort to bring this keystone ecosystem back to the United States.

I was worried when he didn't rush out to greet me immediately but it was just because he was cozy.

kissin kate barlow has the best villain origin story ever put to paper. if i fell in love with a sweet man who just wanted to sell onions and show of his sick carpentry skills and they killed him for being black i think i would also snap and kill everyone involved in the most ironic way possible.

Hey, a while ago I called you fat. I just wanted to apologize. I’ve recently gained a lot of weight and now I’m fat, too. Definitely wouldn’t appreciate it if someone called me fat.

Fat bitch

people who comment on fics just to say that they are re-reading and still cried/felt emotions/loved it are the greatest people on earth and should be given a thousand dollars.

addition: people who comment on fics to say that they are not even in this fandom and didn’t know the characters at all but read it anyway and loved it are also the greatest people on earth and should also be given a thousand dollars.

Derry Girls really said that life is not a linier series of events and the worst parts of your life can and will co-exist with the best parts and there is no telling if and when those will be. So you just have to try and make the best of every situation as it comes to you.

And they were right.

It’s like reaching into the cupboard for food and accidentally finding a 19 year old can of soup that you’ve kept for sentimental reasons
