The ocean knows you by what you leave behind, pouring into your pressed sand-prints to learn the tides of your gait. Its waves sweep your hollows into its own, tumbled through the rolling sand, another taste of you for the undertow. It laps at your feet and asks "yet? is it yet?" The ocean is vast. The ocean is deep. It rasps your name in salt.
can we stop promoting the idea that nature has to look beautiful to be good?
Well someone displeased the sky gods didn’t they
My first thought was someone pleased the sky gods, because this is a SHOW.
That’s the problem with gods; their pleasure and their wrath often look the same.
why is this fire quote from a tumblr post
Because tumblr is the real world equivalent of infinite monkeys using typewriters eventually producing Shakespeare.
everything in nature looks like a vagina, and everything man made looks like a penis. you compensating, you compensating hard
I scrolled back up because I needed this on my blog
Mist at the slough
Mountain mist
trees are very 🥺 because sometimes i’ll stand under the shade of a tree and look up at it and it’ll sway its branches about in the wind and i’m like oh my God i’m alive and YOU’RE alive. we are alive together and made up of the same starry stuff and standing right next to each other in this moment on this earth. do u feel it when i reach out and press my hand to your trunk? can you hear me? i think you’re so neat. and then the sunlight filters through its leaves just so and that lovely green color leaves me dazzled. it’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing
Tropical Rainforests
Scrubland/Dry Forests. For extra effect make them the sort that burn very often; some native plants never germinate until after a fire, and some animals not only rely on fire to smoke out prey, but may even start them themselves.
Savannas/Tropical Grasslands
Temperate Rainforests. I almost didn’t include this bc New Zealand is covered in them, and that’s where they filmed Lord of the Rings. But tbh, no one really knows about them, so it belongs here
Taiga Forests
Barren Tundra, perfect for some extreme seasonal dichotomy
Polar Ice Sheets
Desert-Grasslands (arguably the same as Scrubland but Australia’s good at adding its own twists)
Barren Desert
If you like Cacti, look at American Deserts like the Sonoran
Salt Flats
Soda Lakes and Alkaline Lakes
Madagascar’s Karst Limestone Formations
Madagascar’s Spiny Forests
Madagascar’s Baobab Forests
Madagascar’s Subhumid Forests (Madagascar is cool as hell ok)
Danxia Landforms
Badlands/Mountainous Deserts
Steppes and Highland Prairies
Flood Basalts
Newly-Formed Islands, still rife with Volcanic activity
Now for Underwater Environments, sure Coral Reefs are cool.
But there are SO MANY other kinds of environments for aquatic settings, it’s unbelievable:
Seaside Cliffs
Archipelagos. Not just Tropical Island chains like Polynesia (Moana anyone?) but also Coldwater Archipelagos like the Aleutians.
Tidal Flats
Bayous/Cypress Swamps
Tropical River Basins, AKA Seasonally Flooded Rainforests
Mangrove Swamps/Deltas/Beaches
Kelp Forests
The Open Ocean
Coastal Seabeds
Rocky Beaches with Tidepools
And there are a LOT more I could name but this post is already obscenely long as is, if you’d like to toss in your own go right ahead, but my point is if you limit yourself to European Deciduous Forests you’re a wimp.

Dude just stop climbing mount everest. just stop it. Wtf
Not sure if this is a shitpost but we really do need to stop climbing mount everest. It’s largely pointless and we’ve made a huge ecological impact of years from waste left behind from all exhibitions. Not to mention the economic impact on locals
people in the notes are trying to imply this is good, normal, natural, and not something to be discouraged, so uh… lets break this down
obvious warnings for discussions of death
you really think all that is natural and normal?
in what world is everest worth it
Right cause who tf is “we”
It is us. You need lumber to build 97% of homes in US, you need oil for a car or some sort of motorized transportation whether it be buses, trains, motorcycles, or planes which all produce carbon dioxide. It is a cycle, we the consumer are just as much to blame as the corporation supplying us
Guess I’ll just sell all my shit and then kill myself.
Corporations, literally 6 CORPORATIONS, account for what was it, 70% of pollution and waste?
I can reduce what I use as much as I can, but I still have to have a job and a way to get to it, because I like to not starve to death.
Yeah fandoms are cool and all but like

honestly it kinda really sucks when adults don’t care about the earth and the fact that it’s not gonna be around for very much longer unless we do something because they’ve already gotten to live their lives. they’ve already got to finish school and get a job and adopt a pet and buy a house. for me, i won’t get to experience that at the rate we’re going. if the earth is toast in 12 years, i’ll get to work at a job for maybe four years depending on what kind of schooling i do. i most likely won’t have the time to find the love of my life and adopt my own cat who i want to name toothless. i probably won’t get to travel to all the places i want or do anything i have dreamed about for so long because the earth is dying and the people with the money to stop it aren’t doing anything about it because they’ve already had a chance to live their lives. but what about us kids? how is it fair to us? save the earth
Jesus christ i hate the color of the sky
