i wanna try this, PLEASE INTERACT IF you have a twin, you’re a redhead, you moved around a lot as a kid, your dad is didn’t know you were his kid until you were like twenty, you were adopted by a cult, you have/had a face tattoo, you’ve beat up three men, you have a binder full of clippings of your idol who you were childhood friends with, you killed your mom, your dad is a serial killer, you owe 80% of your salary to the yakuza, or you have a cat named sir or king <3

@moonthemagical look it's bees

Okay, entomology brain is annoyed by a Tumblr ad

Specifically, this one. First, Albert Einstein never said that.

Secondly, and more importantly, that is NOT a honey bee, or even a bee at all. That is a bee fly, a very important, very cute pollinator. However! They have parasitoid larvae! This means that they lay their eggs in the larvae of other bugs. Those eggs hatch, and those larvae eat the bug they’re in from the inside out. Sounds horrible, but it’s the way of things and I cannot understate how important these guys are.

The reason I’m annoyed about the picture of choice isn’t even that they didn’t picture a bee (not even in the right order- bees are hymenopterans. Flies are diptera.) What’s really grinding my absolute gears about the choice here? Bee flies parasitize bee larva.

If you’re going to use the wrong picture, at least don’t use the picture of something that actively kills what you’re trying to protect instead of the animal you’re protecting.

Also, honeybees, Apis mellifera, don’t need protection. They’re fine. They’re invasive in North America, even. Humans take care of them just fine. I’m a beekeeper, and I love them, but that’s not where our efforts should be. We should be trying to protect native bees, there are a whole bunch that I bet you’ve never heard of that need help.

Anyway, rant over. Sorry, I just could not let that one go.

lets go!!!!

yay a post about arthritis! thank you!

Seeing people say that arthritis isn't disabling in the year 2023 sure gives me some. . . not great feelings. Like yeah, cool, thanks for completely undermining the decade or so of horrible pain I've experienced, my gradual loss of mobility, the constant fatigue and confusion (because rheumatoid arthritis affects more than just your joints!), the ableism I've faced from everyone in my life, and the degradation of my fine motor skills as the pain in my fingers and wrists especially gets worse and worse.

Also the ageism in it. . . "My grandparent has arthritis, that doesn't make them disabled." Idk how to tell you this bud but pretty much every elderly person in the world is disabled in some way because bodies break down and start doing weird shit naturally. Sorry that you see aging and disability as inherently contradictory but it's not my fault that you're so determined to gatekeep the label of "disabled" from people that you can't show even a bit of compassion to people whose experiences are different from yours.

Anyway @ fellow arthritic people I know this sucks so fucking bad and that no one takes us seriously but I promise you are not alone ily 🪻

A movie review or something idk

Watched Astérix & Obélix et le Royaume Milieu (or Asterix & Obelix and the Middle Kingdom in English) with my family a few nights ago, with original French audio and subtitles. Even though my sister and I didn't want to watch it at first, as we've only ever seen the animated movies, we were pleasantly surprised.

It was ridiculously funny, and even though most of the French jokes may have fell flat with dubbing, some of them still shone through in any language, like when Obélix ran so fast the cart went over a lake, or the montage where the boat kept hitting the sides of the Red Sea.

And even though most of the movie just looked like cosplayers or LARP-ers with too much budget, they still stuck true to the comic's roots, and kept some of the hilarious cartoon/comic physics.

@spyld

Dear Valued Customer...

Why did you put a 4-pack of ginger beer on the bottom shelf of aisle 6 with the almonds. I'm just confused.

I'm sorry but your boyfriend? He rolled under the fridge and we can't seem to find him. I'm so sorry for your loss.
