Me, wandering around on campus late at night: Spood…. Spood… Spooder… I’m not drunk or high, I’m just thinking about arthropods….
I encourage you to vote for my little meow meow Henry :)
He’s crazy in such a fun way
Henry:
Osamu Dazai: He actively tries to kill himself multiple times throughout the series. Apparently also flirts with almost every guy who appears on screen with him. He acts silly, but is actually quite intelligent and planning. (He wasn't submitted with much detail)
This. This is what got me into insects and other “bugs” as a small child. I was (and still am) an animal lover and they were the animals that were right there in my backyard and easy enough for a child to catch and play with. They are such cute little creatures 🪲🐜🦋🦗🐛
everyone should try to get into bugs because they fulfill all your primal needs to get Way Too Close to wildlife and hold and pet wild creatures
When you start recognizing bugs as friendly and cute little Guys, your world opens up so much.
They're easy to obtain. Do you want isopods? Just put a piece of cardboard on the ground and you will have isopods. There's a straight-up CLOUD of bees, wasps, butterflies, and flies around my Swamp Milkweed. Planting any native flower will make you so many friends. Better yet, do nothing—any somewhat overgrown area is habitat. I was hacking down some of the grasses in the Weed Area in our back yard yesterday (the non-native chicory is overpopulated and the native perennials are getting swallowed up by a Crap Ton of non-native grass) and found a enormous katydid.
I am feeling such awe and wonder over how tame and unbothered insects are in front of humans. Lots of them you can catch and hold in your hands and they will just be like oop oh well this is strange sorry to bother you and fly away.
They are so beautiful too! The COLORS. Electric blue! Iridescent green! Bright red! Every metallic shade! Rainbow! Our yard is full of dragonflies now and they've got to be one of the world's most elegant creatures.
Respect the weeds. Appreciate the odd little spaces. And laugh at life :)

I love the disturbing implications/undertone of this cutesy little piece- is the cat dead? Undead? Have the innocent-looking flowers speedily absorbed the part of the cat’s body that is in the soil? Do the flowers lure their victims into being buried, lull them to sleep, then eat them? Alternatively, is the cat like a plant, and will regrow if you bury its bones in suitable soil? Or does the soil have some sort of property that makes everything but the bones transparent? Cube cat has become the source of some increasingly strange ideas

Sharing this to help them out
Hey I'm Hollow. I'm a disabled trans/nonbinary young adult. I need help and mostly have no way to get it so I'm asking you all to please help me get my foot in the door so 2023 can be the year things get better. My health isn't very good and for me to qualify for assistance they want doctor proof so I have to pay out of pocket to see a doctor for now. I am also a month behind on my rent due to my inability to have a job and need help catching up. I will have help covering things soon I just need to catch up first. This amount covers the bear minimum to pay my overdue bills so I'm safe and housed and to get me in to see a doctor so I can get moving towards government help.
We've made a paypal pool and here's my ko-fi if you want to help but the pool is no longer open. We appreciate any help we can get. Sharing helps out a ton. Thank you to anyone and everyone who spares us the thought.
One hour left- last chance to support Oakie! I will post art pieces if you do :)
Seriously, my family and friends are all going crazy about supporting this acorn. Please vote for them.
Hi, we're the River System! Katlyn (she/they) and Jacob (he/him). Came for the fandoms, stayed for the off-the-wall and the cringe. 22, autistic (language abled and low support needs), Environmental Biology major. Actual Mad Scientists ;) [We do science and don't do sanity!] Mostly this is Katlyn obsessing over bugs and fandoms (Undertale, Hollow Knight, Little Nightmares, Fire Emblem: Awakening, RWBY, Arcane). Also may include photography, dark aesthetics, and general chaos from Jacob. (Cover photo by Sagar Patil on Unsplash)
