“you’re probably two days old”,

“this is the flower crown I wear when shit’s about to get deep”

i love this

“Alright I got my flower crown on. This is the flower crown I wear when shit’s about to get deep, shits about to get fucking deep in here. I heard you were sad so I decided that I needed to come and rescue you, like some sort of like, prince. Okay, here we go. I’m gonna cheer you up. Here you go! (Small meow, another meow.) Here. Here we go (meow meow), here. Two days old, right? (mew mew mew mew mew) Two days old.. two days old, already cute as hell, has lots of potential. I’m gonna return it right there. And you? You’re a lot like that kitten, whoever you are. You have lots of potential, you’re probably two days old, aaand you’re very cute.”

You know what’s wild?

Your body- like, the one you’re existing as? Your mind prison?- it’s not a wholly independant entity. It’s an ecosystem. You’re a bog that’s self-aware

Imagine if a swamp could telepathically communicate a desire for Chicago style deep dish and then just. Have it

No wonder my stomach hates me, the fish are confused as fuck

27/6/2020 It has been a rough year for the garden. There was hail, there was a cold snap, but mostly there were deer. The garden is now overrun by equisetum, the only thing the deer won’t eat and the sky cannot crush.

Equisetum are strange and ancient plants. They collect silicon from the soil and make little glass strands.  Pulling them out of the garden, you can feel the grass breaking inside the stem. It feels like snapping tiny glow sticks. We know dinosaurs ate them, because we’ve found scratches on hadrosaur teeth from the glass bits. Hadrosaurs grew new teeth in “dental batteries” to deal with eating the equisetum glass. Not much eats them today. 

They’re older than seeds. They have spores instead. Each spore has ribbony bits curled around it. When the spores get wet, the ribbons fill with water and uncurl and straighten like the party horns that go FWEEE and uncurl when you blow into them. The FWEEE pushes the spores up into the air. If they land somewhere dry, the water evaporates and ribbons curl up again, until the next time it rains. FWEEE. They dance all around the yard and get into everything. They like disturbed ground and in between places, where the other plants have been removed: railroads, roadsides, graveyards, deer-eaten gardens.

They are three hundred million years old. Older than dinosaurs. Older than trees. Older than the continents and seas. Hadrosaurs grew hundreds of teeth to eat them, and it still wasn’t enough.

They will outlast us, and dance on our graves. FWEEE.

Agdgsgsgsg I’m LIVING for this Reef2Reef thread. This guy was worried about his urchins getting sunburnt so he made them little hats

IT GETS BETTER

In the wild these urchins will in fact carry a small rock or shell exactly on top like this and im so happy there’s people taking advantage of that and who care about their urchins as pets.

i visited an aquarium at some point, and our tour guide told that when the staff had a party, they put a little decorative plastic hat from a booze bottle into the sea urching tank, and just left it there because the sea urchins liked it, and kept taking turns in wearing it.

Discovering that sea urchins wearing hats is a thing in this world means so much to me rn

Cool Tip

a-fucking-velociraptor:

If you are like me and always need to be working on something to keep your anxiety under control, during this quarentine why not helping scientists by looking at pictures of some neat penguins? or even galaxies? 
There’s this site call Zooniverse, where you can help on scientific projects by analyzing pictures and data! 

Right now my favorite project has returned, called Penguin Watch (where yeah, you get to watch penguins, it’s amazing)

image

you basically have to analyse photos looking for penguins, their chicks, eggs or even predators and human interaction

But there are lots of interesting projects you can help in areas such as biology, physics, history or even art:

Oh and the best part, some institutions even accept it as volunteering/service hour requirements for graduation and scholarships!!
It’s helping me a lot during this time, so I thought it was worth sharing

“One of the most solid pieces of writing advice I know is in fact intended for dancers – you can find it in the choreographer Martha Graham’s biography. But it relaxes me in front of my laptop the same way I imagine it might induce a young dancer to breathe deeply and wiggle their fingers and toes. Graham writes: ‘There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.’”
