howdy. i am but a autistic internet stranger but i wanted to thank you for reblogging some positivity and for your checkpoint post, snapped me out of some doomscrolling. i can only imagine that you’re going through The Troubles in lieu of The Recent Event as well. we all are. you are a good person and very cool and deserve better tomorrows too. we’ll get through this some-diddly-dang-how and even if it winds up passing like a kidney stone, it will pass. i hope to keep seeing your posts for four years and four better years more after that. hold onto your joys, pet your animals for me, and thank you ❤️
I’m so so happy my post helped snap you out of doomscrolling 💕
I often think about that Mr Rodgers’ quote about looking for the helpers. I have no money to donate to tragedies and very little influence to spread awareness. But I do have my silly little guys. And my silly little guys make people happy. So I try to be a helper by reminding people to take care of themselves. I’m glad I was able to do that, even if just for a moment.
Pet your animals for me too. Hold on to your joys. Thank you for being here and for surviving.
The horrors persist, but so will we 💕
Mental Health Checkpoint
I think we need another one of these. If you're doom scrolling, take a break. It's ok to be scared, to be sad, to be hopeless. Take all the time you need. But please don't give up. We have to look out for each other, to fight for each other. I'm so glad you're still here. We'll figure this out. I love you, kind stranger.
Don't forget to drink or snack 💕
I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself

Tonight is scary. But please remember to take breaks. Take care of yourselves, Pals 💕
I wanted to say that I FUCKING LOVE MILLIPEDES!!1!1!!1!1!
Lovely and polite friends 💕
Meet November's Pal of the Month... the Fish-Scaled Gecko!
Fish-scale geckos are small, plump reptiles with the largest scales of any known gecko! These scales are boney deposits known as osteoderms, similar armor to that of crocodilian skin.
But their most stunning trick comes in their escape. Unlike other lizards that shed their tails when caught by predators, the fish-scale gecko simply sheds its scales, leaving behind a pink, vulnerable skin! This adaptation has proved challenging for researchers, who struggle to capture specimens without losing a few layers of scales. No worries! Once lost, these scales will regrow within a few weeks!
The conservation status of fish-scale geckos is unknown, but considered to be of low concern. Any species can be impacted by environmental changes and habitat loss so it is important to continue monitoring their populations.

My buddy is being snuggly on my birthday 💕
I think now that I've had time to sleep on it, my biggest issue with the ending of Agatha All Along is that I misunderstood the message. They continuously called her the "covenless" witch, but since teamwork was needed to open the road and to complete the trials, I assumed the message was that people need community. I thought that by the end of the Road, she'd realize what she was missing and be given her coven back as the prize for finishing the road. I know she's a morally-grey-leaning-into-villainous character in the comics, so it's not like I was expecting her to be 100% good by the end. But rather, her coven would counterbalance her evil. Kinda like how she was in the trials: working with the group but still always looking for the easy way out, or a way to save herself. The coven trying to rein her in.
I think I deeply misunderstood the character and where the story was going. It was so smartly written at the beginning that I thought it would lead to a well written pay off. By making it so the Road was conjured by Billy, I think it took away a lot of the tight storytelling and where I perceived the story was going. I found the ending that we got deeply unsatisfying as a result.
I forgot it was Marvel, and that they'd shoehorn in a male lead character to set up future projects.
I was focused on the witches. Marvel was focused on Billy.
Yall I’m obsessed. Look at these two little cuties eating a pea. Their polite little hands, their little dot eyes. I love them so much.
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do.
Meet Freddie and Ziggy!
My first zoeae became a megalopa today!!! I’m so proud of him 😭💕
Meet Freddie! He’s 26 days old and I already love him so much
During the storm, I've had a wasp sheltering on my window.
It's been two days now, and she's still there, so I gave her some honey
Lookit her! slurping away!
I love that wasp nests are befriendable
You just need to hang around, not hurt them, and regularly bring them fresh water.
Then they will remember you and not bother you
It’s so nice. We had some paper wasps come hang around our deck cuz one of our planter boxes is unfinished. They’d come over, scrape a little wood, then go to the bird bath and get a little sip to get the wood wet, and then head off on their way. They’d sometimes sit next to you and clean their little antenna. Wasps get a bad rep fr
Meet October's spooky Pal of the Month... the Halloween Crab!
Halloween crabs, with their striking black shells, vibrant orange legs, and bright purple claws, are a unique land crab species found in the coastal jungles of Mexico and Costa Rica. They can venture as far inland as half a mile! These nocturnal crabs spend their days hiding in burrows up to five feet deep, emerging at night to gather fallen leaves and seedlings to feast on!
Once a year, at the beginning of the rainy season, millions of these crabs embark on a mass migration to the ocean to breed. Females carry their eggs to the water and release them into the outgoing tide.
Halloween Crabs are not endangered. They are sometimes available in the exotic pet trade, though they may be tricky for beginners.
