i remember when i got into homestuck i was OBSESSED with this fanart, i would put this as a wallpaper on every device i could
When I totaled my car last spring, it was by plowing straight thru a fence into a cow pasture on my way to a job interview, and the one thing that saved me from being utterly consumed by despair was the fact that the cows were utterly bonkers with curiosity about the weird object that was suddenly in their field, and they completely SWARMED me and my car with good-natured excitement. They ate my lunch (and my cars bill of sale documents), they used the wrecked husk of my car as a rubbing post, they tried to lick my face, and most importantly because of them I was not just crying alone in the rain, and for these things I'm literally forever in their debt.
These ladies are my heroes.
i’m screaming
I don’t think this woman is straight anymore.
Yall are missing the best fucking part
This is my new favourite post on tumblr, bye
Just saw a video like "um actually rocky horror isn't good queer representation because frank sexually assaults janet" girl he kills and eats people. It's called the rocky HORROR picture show not the rocky cute gay rep tw t-slur picture show
I personally prefer the version that doesn't have the artist's sig removed, and doesn't erase how most conspiracy theories are foundationally antisemitic:
just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees
They existed *before beetles*
Why is this sad? Why am I sad?
This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.
(my own photos)
Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.
Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.
You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

First quote from the linked article. Found it poetic.
Oh, oh dear I think I may go mourn the loss of ancient species now
The world has lost 5% to 10% of all insect species in the last 150 years — or between 250,000 and 500,000 species.
Often when I go to research an interesting native flower, to see who that flower was meant to attract...I find that the plant now only propagates vegetatively, through clones. Likely, the original pollinator or pollinators are all gone. But this cloning
We’re surrounded by orphaned plants, and many weren’t orphaned long ago. They were orphaned recently, because of us. That’s just reason why gardening with native plants is so critical. We have a responsibility to the plants and animals we share the land with, to plant things that insects can eat. To give them nesting habitat. To avoid poisons.
