After years of observing these caddisfly larvae, French naturalist and artist, Hubert Duprat, wondered if the caddis flies would use any materials to build their cocoon. He introduced flakes of gold, pearls and opals to the caddis flies and they did in fact use them for their cocoons. They use their own silk as the glue to hold their pupal constructions together.

Being a girl without close girl friends I spend time with feels like some sort of spiritual jail I've been put in for this particular lifetime and it's such a walk of shame in this day and age like I can't count how many reels or tiktoks I see of girls saying stuff like "girls who don't have girl friends??? RED FLAG!!!" Or like jokes about when you befriend the girl who has no girl friends and then you realize why...yikes! Cause she sucks and is toxic and unlovable! And I'm like ouch, that's tough to hear. I know those narratives are popular because girl friendships can be painful and I'm sure there's lot of people out there who have been deeply unkind whether on purpose or not but I guess it pains me to watch people make laughable comments about lonely women. I feel like being a lonely woman is such a derogatory notion already deeply imbedded in society and sexism that I feel like it's just sort of being reframed in the new age as like "she did that to herself" and that's never true, we are all the result of the love we get or don't and it's definitely our own responsibility how we act and how we heal or don't - but it feels so judgmental sometimes to further "other" women who don't have friends

I want to host a weekend camping trip on the land for other women who feel like this.

in my experience, trying to make friends with women is like trying to make friends with the fae. There are Rules I wasn't taught, requiring graces I don't have.

dungeon meshi but they end up in the back rooms, a cursed idea that was eating away at my brain

Peer-reviewing @monikoishi's tags because they're banger.

I love that inserting cats into crafting videos crosses cultures.

This is why I don't mind paying $$$ for my small-batch, handmade paints.

I love how it's so blue the camera almost can't capture it, like the light would hit it just right and half the screen would turn eldritch blue before clearing and it's just a pile of blue powder again
