It was raining the other night and I found such a pretty guy. This is a Giant American Millipede!
I wanna talk about these guys for a minute because they get a badrap.
Unlike centipedes, millipedes aren't venomous, in fact, they can't even bite or sting you! Millipedes have extremely weak jaws because of that they can only feed on soft decaying plant matter, fungi, and flower buds.
Of course, they aren't wandering around without any protection, they do have defense mechanisms. They can produce minor toxins or skin irritants, which this guy actually did after I held him to get a shot of his legs!
The thing is, unless you have sensitive skin or are allergic to what the irritants are made up of (which I'm not) then it's perfectly harmless. Even if you do have sensitive skin, the reaction is very mild and unless you're grabbing them, they aren't likely to secrete the toxin.
These guys get a bad wrap for being creepy and scary when, realistically, they're one of the most docile and harmless bugs out there! They're very cool to hold and feel crawling across your skin thanks to all those little legs (two per each body segment!).
As always, don't pick up any critters if you don't know what they are, or how to properly handle them!
Spoiler Alert. #LoveCraftCountry Season 1: Episode 5 See this is where Human Kind went wrong thinking they can do whatever they want to do with no consequence. When you do good to other you do good for yourself, when you do bad to others you do bad for yourself. #tamyko #omomaxine #waitforit #magick #witchcaraft #badrap https://www.instagram.com/p/CFItuRGAUG6/?igshid=1khbjjy9j906i

I don't know why everyone makes the grim reaper out to be a bad guy. I mean he's just taking you to the afterlife, it's not like he killed you. It's actually quite nice of him to walk with you there. He might even play your favorite song for you. Imagine if you had to go alone.

Definitely a topic already covering for this interview, but it's nice to get some reinforcement. Specially #JayPark who I admire for many reasons. Not to sound like I'm biting from Far East Movement, but finding your own identity is very important as a creator. Very glad I've decided to rewatch these trailers from #BadRapFilm @sopranomusings gotta peep the rest of these fam👍We are already on the right track. This gives me much needed relief.

Can I just say, Scully gets a badrap from people. The big joke is that all this spooky mysterious stuff happens around her and she's in denial of it, but many of the times the spooky scary stuff actually DOES have a rational explanation (albeit with a slant of pseudoscience, but in universe it's accepted,) and in the cases where it doesn't she either wasn't a witness to the supernatual side of whatever was going on, or she just straight up admits that she has no explanation for what happened, she just also believes there must be a rational explanation out there. She's not the "in denial" skeptic that I was led to believe she was by the way people talked about her, but is actually really reasonable about things.
It still amazes me the misconception that sharks are mindless man eaters. This whale carcass in the exmouth gulf has been feeding countless tiger sharks in the Exmouth Gulf for over two weeks now. I checked it out one morning (see earlier post) by drone when no one was around and saw well over 40 sharks within 100m of the carcass. In stark contrast, a few hours later i observed many local vessels with swimmers and all the sharks were keeping their distance. Any that did approach were not at all aggressive and in fact more timid. It was interesting to see the sharks avoid the people, vastly different from the way they are portrayed in Hollywood and the media. Was so nice to see people who know the ocean and live the salt life interacting with its wildlife. .
