fireflies lighting up a rural Pennsylvania field at dusk

As a european i sometimes forget furefkied are actually real and not american folklore/cryptids. Like you’ve got friendly little bugs that glow in the dark….. b r uh

in case europeans were worried: we love them very much! even tho they’re clumsy and slow and sometimes bump into you, no one swats fireflies here, or takes them for granted. even grownups sometimes reach out in the summer and gently catch a firefly for a minute before letting it go.

By “reach out” that’s meant quite literally–you just kinda. Stick your hand in their flight path and they land on you and will sit on your hand for a bit. Sometimes if you’re just walking or standing outside while they’re active you have to shoo them off you because they’ll just. Sit on you.

They’re harmless and very pretty and it’s always a treat to see because they’re out for a relatively short time each year.

Juuust gonna hijack this a bit to say that if you love fireflies, you ought to know they’re at risk, but you can help them out, by planting native plants and grasses rather than homogeneous lawns, cutting down on mowing since they stay in grasses during the day and mowing disturbs and kills them, and most importantly Do Not bag up and throw away all the fallen leaves on your property, since fallen leaves are where they lay their eggs and we’re making it hard for them to find a place to do that.

You can also petition for parks in your area to incorporate ponds and other water elements that fireflies love!

WHOOPS forgot one, turn off your porch lights. They confuse fireflies and disrupt their mating ritual, which is what their cute little glowing rumps are for.

Hey, PSA for my fellow disabled people: UPS workers are trying to negotiate a new contract, and it looks like it’s leading to a strike soon. Now, I am absolutely all for this, they need safe working conditions and should strike if need be, but for us?

Please contact your doctors and make sure you’re prepared in any way possible. This will affect many of you, whether that’s through med deliveries, oxygen tanks, or other one-use supplies. If you live in America, try to get in contact with an insurance case worker for resources and advice if you’re able.

Stay safe, and hope that the precaution isn’t necessary.

Please absolutely do this, whatever you need to do to be prepared.

I just want to provide a bit of comfort in addition.

I work at a branch of a company that makes medication for rare diseases. They are already putting policy and business shifts in place for alternative shipping, because our medication is absolutely critical for many patients. I obviously can’t say for sure what any other company is doing, but if this at all helps reduce anxiety even a fraction, I just want to put out there that there are contingency plans.

Please take care out there.

From my understanding their current contract ends July 31st, so a strike may start as early as August 1st. So there is still time to order stuff but it’s good to have a date to be aware of.

every so often i remember how fucking buckshit whacked out Homestuck actually is. Every single character, no matter how charming and endearing they seem, is a loser. The author is a character within the story, who is killed halfway through and the job of writing the story is taken over by the story’s villain. Said villain is so misogynist that he wants to destroy the whole universe. Every single character dies, at least once, the only exception being a random background NPC who delivers mail. The entire plot is a vehicle to get one creepy ventriloquist dummy from point A to point B. The ICP is there too.

First part of a Twitter thread by @SamAsIAm: "A friend who is a municipal arborist just called to tell me about a guy who cut down 32 big mature trees on his neighbor's NJ property to get a better view of NYC. He hired a guy who hired another guy. Cut them down and left the debris there. The fine per tree is $1000 so the 1/  2/ guy propably thought he was going to just pay a $32k fine. But the arborist wrote violations to all 3 parties, 96 in all (by hand, took him 12 hours) and there's a provision requiring the replanting of like trees "of the same size." And it's on an inaccessible by road"ALT
Continuation of Twitter thread by @SamAsIAm: "3/  mountainside. He put the affronted landowner in touch with the only guy who would take on such a job. Thry have to build a road, remove the debris, plant big trees and water them for two years. He quoted $1.5 million. And additional fines total $400k. I hope whoever this ass  4/4 is he can't pay and they lien and sell his property, the value of which he probably figured would be increased so much a $32k fine was worth it, to cover the cost. We are living in the Jaime Dimon ethos. "So fine us, we can afford it.  4/5 The PS to this is I was just given a zoom link to the 1st court hearing tomorrow. I'm not sure if it's just for trail participants or spectators can use it, but if they let me observe I'll add more. It doesn't appear to have been picked up by any news source yet."ALT
Quote Tweet by @ParSpec: "Apparently NOBODY ELSE IN THE QUOTE TWEETS RESPECTS TRADITION ENOUGH TO POST THE TREE LAW COMIC"ALT
A 1-page comic by u/reachling: Panel 1: A saddenned person with short hair looking at a tree stump, their hands are holding the sides of their head. They're saying "Oh no! The rare cherry tree grandma brought with her from the old country! It's been chooped down!!" and then in another speech bubble "And only a week after the new neighbor complained about it blocking his view too!"  Panel 2: The young person turns around with a befuddled look on their face. A speech bubble from the bushes says "Tree law?"  Panel 3: A bald bearded lawyer with a suit and briefcase looks from behind a picket fence and says "Tree law?"  Panel 4: Another lawyer with shades pops their head from inside the bushes and says "Tree law?!"  Panel 5: Another lawyer crawls from under the stump with a briefcase and says "Tree law!!"  Panel 6: The four lawyers carry the young person above them. The person is looking confused. Two of the lawyers are holding pitchforks and torches. Around them are raining dollar bills. The lawyers are chanting "Tree! Law! Tree! Law!"ALT

the fact that “the vibes here are rancid” is a power that the jedi actually have is insane to me

can you imagine being a normal dude and you’re getting help from this jedi, and this jedi dude’s like “head’s up, the next five minutes have the worst vibes imaginable” and you’re like “why?” and the jedi dude’s like “inscrutable cosmic power told me so, doesn’t get more specific than that”

like all these weird little men in weird little robes with glowy swords do is meditate because they have sorcerer-induced anxiety. yoda’s always fucking meditating on his little pillow because he has to figure out if he’s nauseous because the arcane will of all life itself is speaking through his midichlorians to warn him or if he just ate a bad burrito for lunch. the force is constantly dunking on these weird little men and telling them “something bad’s going to happen” and never explaining what’s going to happen. do you sense bad vibes because your washing machine is about to break and flood your apartment, or because the government you serve is about to turn into a dictatorship and mow your ass like grass? that’s for you to figure out

mace windu has Double Anxiety because every now and then he gets a pop-up that tells him when he is making a Significant Visual Novel Protag Choice

The Force: This Action Will Have Consequences!
