We live forever and we love to live

never forget what they took from us.

A gardening myth that irks me (also sorry for ruining folks' fun!) is the idea that you can use plants to purify the air in your home. Plant metabolism is slow compared to animal metabolism and uses fewer resources so any effect they have on the air is negligible, except for maybe humidity if there are enough of them since that's more structural than metabolic?

Gas exchange through cracks in windows and doors will outpace any effect a plant has on air composition and I imagine you'd have to absolutely fill a room with them to even change the O2/CO2 composition much. (I'm imagining that a plant able to do so would have a slight current emanating from it hahaha) Mostly it's just another marketing ploy.

An organism that is able to alter the atmosphere, however, are algae! They're small, but they're so numerous and have such a high combined surface area that they're responsible for the majority of oxygen in the atmosphere.

this photo from Atlanta’s lesbian bar last weekend is so amazing. we need to add it to the canon of images like This. A femme about to pounce!!!

Oddly specific. Got a deposit for 6,837 today

fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes

May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

Definitely

this is the funniest fucking billboard possible. who the fuck paid for this

Bird identification is so fucked up in a really fun way you can’t understand until you get into it. For example, there is a type of goose called the cackling goose that looks exactly like a Canada goose except smaller and “cuter”. The cackling goose is way, way, more rare in most places than its relatively common cousin, so it’s on tons of birders life lists. Everyone wants to see a cackling (look in any bird ID group to see lots of hopeful people posting petite Canada geese). The two species regularly commingle, so sometimes a flock of those common parking lot birds will have the equivalent of a Pokémon shiny just hanging out in the middle of them.

How ridiculous and fun is that? I can never look at a big group of Canada geese without scrutinizing their ranks for an adorable little extremely rare cutie pie cackling goose. It reminds me a bit of mushroom harvesting minus the risk of death if you get it wrong

'stockholm syndrome' being invented by a police negotiator to explain away why a hostage said police actions were making her and the other hostages feel unsafe is like. yeah

Holy shit I never fucking knew this-
