Stop Doom Scrolling.

honey locust by Mary Oliver

so i actually found that meme with shadow telling me to fold my laundry helpful… so here are some others i made to get me to do stuff when i forget.

I joke of course

The dramatic Eggman song would be "What is the Worth", with the rising line in the refrain of "What is the worth of a king?", and it's written in a way to suggest it's one of those "all men who rule others are equally insignificant in the face of the universe" theses, but halfway through shifts to reveal it's just him pointing out that no is as brilliant or special as HE is, which is why he's worth more than any king

will never be over how when sonic and caliburn are at molten mine and they're surrounded by a sea of lava and caliburn tells him they could literally die if they fall and sonic says "I KNOW ISN'T IT GREAT?!"

Think I just made the best pot of red braised pork belly (红烧肉) I've ever made in my life

Technology is great.

This is the recipe I followed btw (video has Eng sub in itself; just in case: this is not an ad for any kitchen appliance lol, I'm sure this recipe can be adapted to other types/brands of pressure cookers)

I've had this sitting in my memes folder for ages, but I don't think I ever actually posted it. So, something for your consideration

Always wild to see how much of plants is roots

Especially grassland plants

Like, look at this guy

One true leaf and less than a centimeter tall, and already a 21cm taproot

That's hella carbon sequestration! Once mature these guys make enormous perennial taproots, and that carbon isn't going anywhere soon

😒

Here’s the new 24 hour comic I drew this year!  This one is called THE KING’S FOREST.  cw: blood, violence
