Larva Lamp.

This lamp is equipped with a handful of little *possibly sentient* grubs that float around in a viscous transparent liquid. Available at your nearby goblin wizard emporium.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Today I found . . .

California Pipevine swallowtails!!! They were mud-puddling and so were docile enough to actually look at up close. And my dad happened to be there with his camera and telephoto lens so he snapped a few shots. I have seen these guys around but they were flying so fast I didn't get to ID them until now. Pretty sure I saw some pipevine growing around too, I will have to go back to confirm. But I was very happy to see these! I've been taking walks to study the local wildflowers, I'll post soon on the plant species I've been finding.

I also found a lovely, huge dead yellowjacket last night when walking round the block, pristine condition, brought it home. Nothing rare or anything most people get excited over, but I don't like to kill insects to collect them, so finding one dead in good condition is always cool for me and gives me a chance to look at them up close. Looks like a big Vespula pensylvanica, according to this website to help narrow things down, because the yellow loops all the way around her eyes. I don't know how to mount bugs, maybe I should look into that. . .

having a tumblr blog is for those of us who could never manage to keep a diary for more than two weeks when we were twelve

#I kept diaries for years and years #but tumblr is fun anyway

I just don’t get it. How can our society act so goddamned normal about seahorses. How can anybody so casually accept that that’s a fish???

This is one of nature’s most anatomically perverse of all beasts. A FISH, like a carp or a bass or a beta is a fish, but it bent its body straight up only to bend its head permanently back down. It stretched its skull into a pipe. It tapered its tail like a lizard, specifically like a chameleon. It can also move its eyes independently by the way, you know, like a chameleon. Fun fact, it can change color to express its mood, like you know whatever does that. It doesn’t properly swim anymore. It buzzes its few remaining fins like an insect’s wings to float itself around at a snail’s pace. It lives its whole life clinging to coral branches or seaweed, which means it decided to become a “tree dweller” in an environment where gravity didn’t even matter anyway. The males get pregnant. They make noises at each other by rubbing some of their neck bones together. Every day, EVERY DAY a mated pair does a little dance and a little neck bone song so they remember which two seahorses they were. They’re a beautiful precious obscenity. Nothing so adorable ever made such a strong case against a logical creator.

They have as little skin and meat as they could get away with. Their skeleton is almost all they are.

I think an easy way to sum up american domestic architecture is that if you are remodeling and older bathroom you have to watch for razor blades in the walls
