@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.

aah its so hard not to the blue outlines are haunting me

Okay, so 'Million To One' by Camila Cabello from the Cinderella soundtrack is actually great? It reminds me a lot of 'A Million Dreams' from The Greatest Showman, with the piano and general message, but it's different with the acoustic guitar. I also just LOVE the vocals! Anyways, here's the link to the official audio if you wanna give it a listen.

*by live theatre i mean plays, musicals, operas, ballets, concert versions of musicals, staged readings, & things of that nature.

if you want, list the names of the shows you've seen in the tags!

for no reason in particular, what are songs you would expect to/kill to hear in a sorry chapter 3 trailer?

feel free to reblog, reply, or whatever else you want with answers and your contributions will DEFINITELY NOT be put in a playlist for preparation for a little kinda sorta bracket (:

any song you think is just coded sorry boys is also fine, not just trailer material if you cant think of anything
