I am legitimately so upset, I don’t have very much longer at my current job and I only just realized that I have the perfect opportunity to casually but forcibly educate the public that earthworms are an invasive species in most of the northern half of North America. NOBODY realizes that earthworms are invasive because most of us grew up learning about how good earthworms are for the soil and finding them in the ground and there’s generally a lot of positive cultural messaging about earthworms*. While most people are generally aware of invasive species and try not to spread them, they don’t think of earthworms in that category. It can be really surprising to learn that earthworms can be bad for the environment - I know it was for me. So I’ll take advantage of my audience here:
Please be aware of this if you live in the region and use earthworms for fishing or gardening. Further resources can be found at the Citizen Science Project Great Lakes Worm Watch and the UMN Invasive Species page.
*Positive cultural messaging about earthworms is great - for the regions that they’re native to, such as Europe. Not so much in regions where they’re invasive.
Yeah I love them but they don’t belong :( …..everything you hear about them being beneficial is because they’re beneficial for the also non-native gardens and crops people grow.
Note that this does not mean you can help by killing earthworms; not even a nuclear apocalypse would undo their presence at this point.
For those wondering what was meant to fill their niche; basically nothing actually. Old growth forests didn’t evolve for “soil” churned up and aerated by anything, but grow entirely on thousands of layers of old rotten wood and moss slowly fermented by bacteria that aren’t meant to be exposed to air.
I adore trans harry headcanons so much but I have to wonder. did he forget what being transgender is in these hcs. does he think EVERY guy has a pussy. or is he post-phallo/meta & has utterly no idea he is not cis. there is untapped potential here I feel
ENCYLOPEDIA - Most men have two testicles, you are male so you likely also have two testicles.
HALF LIGHT - You should check, just to be sure.
[INTERFACING - Success] - You pad around for a bit while no one is looking and... nothing. You are completely flat down there. You have no balls.
DRAMA - He speaks truly, sire. You have no balls to speak of.
PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Holy shit. What the Fuck.
LOGIC - Don't freak out, there must be a logical explanation for this.
[LOGIC - Failure] - You have been neutered.
to experience a place fully you have to put some of it in your mouth
I tried to explain this but I still got kicked out of the museum.
get good
The guards at the art museum are very dedicated.
but can they fit in your mouth? one way to find out
Museums pretty much always have food of some kind. Why were you trying to eat fossils (again!)
I wasn’t trying to EAT the fossils. I had an opportunity to lick a tyrannosaur bone and I took it, since the only consequence was the paleontologist watching over it giving me a look of disappointment.
sometimes all you can do is post rene descartes who give a shit
im sorry i said "awooga" when u took off ur clothes do u still wanna fuck?
favorite thing ab chatgpt is that if it doesn’t know something it’ll just start fucking lying. like blatantly fucking lying.
my dad teaches english classes and he just got a final paper with this sentence: “In terms of style, both poets are known for their use of imagery, but O'Hara's tends to be more straightforward and concrete, while Stevens' is often more abstract and metaphorical — for example, in O'Hara's poem "The French / Window," he writes: "A cat walks along the garden wall / and the tree waves its branches / The French / windows are blah" (lines 1-4).”
the thing about “The French / Window” is that it is not a poem that exists. at all. like, it was literally just written by chatgpt then inexplicably named as a famous frank o’hara poem. and it’s so. fucking. funny. sooo basically heads up for finals season — those of you who use chatgpt, be warned, because you will quite literally be citing nonexistent texts and your professors will show it to their daughters and together they will laugh at you endlessly and you will deserve it
"I pull lots of guys."
