Gosh I just love book Legolas. He's immortal. He's a teenager. Elrond picks him instead of Glorfindel because he's average and won't draw attention to the Fellowship. He's the comic relief guy and resident Little Shit, but he can also shoot a Nazgul out of the sky in the pitch black like a one-man elf anti-aircraft defense system. He wants everyone to know that he's, like, really old. He forgets the task at hand because he wants to look at trees. His greatest qualities are that he can become friends with anyone and his loyalty is unending. He shows up to Valinor a century late with Starbucks in hand and his dwarf bestie at his side. Iconic.

The ‘you’re mature for your age’ to sleeping with a bed full of plushies in your mid twenties pipeline is real

I just finished writing an 11 page speech on dungeons and dragons. I can’t finish my 2 paragraph English homework.

The Cool Down

Study uncovers surprising fact about wildflowers in urban areas: 'No difference … between the meadow types'

Researchers found that small patches of wildflowers can foster the same biodiversity as entire meadows.

A caveat to this study: the researchers were primarily looking at insect pollinator biodiversity. Planting a few native wildflowers in your garden will not suddenly cause unusual megafauna from the surrounding hinterlands to crowd onto your porch.

That being said, this study backs up Douglas Tallamy's optimistic vision of Homegrown National Park, which calls for people in communities of all sizes to dedicate some of their yard (or porch or balcony) to native plants. This creates a patchwork of microhabitats that can support more mobile insect life and other small beings, which is particularly crucial in areas where habitat fragmentation is severe. This patchwork can create migration corridors, at least for smaller, very mobile species, between larger areas of habitat that were previously cut off from each other.

It may not seem like much to have a few pots of native flowers on your tiny little balcony compared to someone who can rewild acres of land, but it makes more of a difference than you may realize. You may just be creating a place where a pollinating insect flying by can get some nectar, or lay her eggs. Moreover, by planting native species you're showing your neighbors these plants can be just as beautiful as non-native ornamentals, and they may follow suit.

In a time when habitat loss is the single biggest cause of species endangerment and extinction, every bit of native habitat restored makes a difference.

They should pay me to sort objects by color and shape and size all day I'd be good at it I'd be so fucking good at it

mutuals do this!!!!

Beanie Sandfurbs Hippo Hat

Attached are 8.5" x 11" patterns for print and assemble Beanie Sandfurbs Hippo Hats, to celibrate World Hippopotamus Day, February 15th and the Project for Awesome, February 14-16th! There is a black and white coloring book version and a pre-colored version. For best results print on cardstock and assemble using staples, but tape and copy paper will also work! This year, 2025, World Hippopotamus Day falls during the Project for Awesome. Happy World Hippo Day and P4A to all who celebrate, and keep up the good work of fighting to decrease world suck! I am deeply, deeply terrified of Beanie Sandfurbs, and this hat makes me question many of my life decisions. There are non bean versions posted on my blog as well, but why wear a non bean hat when you could wear a bean hat?

This may be a hot take, but as someone who has worked on around, and with both types of printers, 3D printers are so much better machines (at least in my opinion)! 3D printers just heat up shit and push it through a tube, whereas 2D printers are demon machines that summon text from an other dimensional portal and require the sacrifice of your first born. I have fought a 2d printer and literally ended up covered in blood and toner. I won but at what cost? Yes 3D printers are fire hazards a little bit sometimes, but so are most of my friends and colleagues. I’d take a 3D printer over a 2D any day of the week.

i feel like it says something about us as a species that somebody worked real hard to invent 3D printing when i think anyone who has ever used a printer would agree with me that we have not really gotten our arms around 2D printing yet. we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
