Lasagna to prove I’m alive, or something like that

tiktok refugees i believe you are few but it is VITAL that you know on tumblr you can speak freely. kill. die. sex. fuck. you can say things here

[what-eats-owls]

Not only can you say them, but it's actually vital that you don't self-censor, so muting and filtering works correctly. E.g. users will have "suicide" mentions filtered, but not "sewerslide" or whatever goofy ass substitutes are in circulation.

sometimes I think about how brussel sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan are all the same species, and i understand why biologists are constantly furious about taxonomy

[peppermint-madness]

I’m sorry what

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

same species. same fucking species

[sztefa001]

Somebody please explain this because what the fuck

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i can do that!

Introducing the Brassica oleracea, a plant species whose cultivars include…all of the above. They all originated from the same plant aka THIS FUCKER! 

No, really. This thing has existed in Europe for thousands of years, during which time different societies had different culinary preferences, leading them to selectively breed for different traits. For example, a preference for the eating leaves led farmers to select seeds from the plants with the largest leaves, resulting gradually in the development of kale.

The real fun thing is, this happened on a vast timeline. Kale was developed over 4000 years ago, while Savoy cabbage was first documented just 5 centuries ago. And different cultivars developed in different regions across Europe and Asia, with their phenotypes and names changing wildly over time. (Fun fact, Brussels sprouts are indeed named for Brussels, the capital city of Belgium, where they were developed from a predecessor imported from Rome.) 

The list above isn’t even exhaustive btw. There are plenty of other ridiculous cultivars (such as the Jersey cabbage, pictured below), and there’s no telling how many other forms existed throughout history, and which would have counted as distinct cultivars, and how many names and groups they were separated into, and, and, and—and imposing taxonomy on the real world is a mess, basically, because the real world does not give a shit about making itself comprehensible or categorizeable. But still we try. Planet Earth has Hot Mess Energy, and would you really have it any other way?

Also the reason they’re considered the same species is because if you try to crossbreed them they will produce viable and fertile offspring

Plants are insane that way

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

Introducing Kalettes (kale-brussels sprouts hybrid), Broccoflower (broccoli-cauliflower hybrid), and Broccolini (broccoli-gai lan hybrid)

look at the kalettes! the itty bitty tiny kalettes!!! I absolutely despise this knowledge thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonus: Romanesco broccoli, which is not a hybrid but just….really fucked up cauliflower

And don’t even get me STARTED on ornamental cabbage. fuck off

Unrelated to fandom but I “impulse” purchased a spicy betta fish a month and a bit ago, and I have become the weird fish person of my circle.

She’s so small, I have had to crush up beta pellets because her mouth is too tiny to eat them whole. I’m trying to be a good fish mom. I got her a six gallon tank a heater and a slow filter. I clean the water and siphons the sand weekly. (Eventually I want to get a slightly bigger tank with live plants for her that I have cycled, because NATURE).

And I’m TRYING not to over feed the baby, even tho she’s convinced she WILL starve to death…

So my sweet fish child, who associates my finger with food and occasionally attempts to bite me…MURDERED a fly 1/3 of her size, and all that was left was the wings and enough of its back to hold them together. I’m lowkey concerned but also impressed.

Side note if anyone has any advice or suggestions on beta fish husbandry, please enter the chat.
