I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

how do you know if someone truly loves you if they were Bound by blood to serve you? how do you love someone when time and again they have barred you from making your own decisions? and how do you make two stubborn assholes get over themselves for long enough to admit that they love each other - and, just as importantly, you?

a queer polyamorous story about a prince, his dragon, and their future queen.

unapologetically queer, horny and gender-fucky. full to the brim with chaotic bi energy.

"... “I’m taking action because I feel desperate,” said U.S. climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who along with several others locked himself to the front door of a JPMorgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A recent report found that the financial giant is the biggest private funder of oil and gas initiatives in the world.

Rūrangi (2020).

A trans man reunites with his ex-boyfriend. ID in alt.

For a review of Rūrangi, see this link. It's a movie about being trans, being Māori, discovering your sexuality, being exhausted by activism, and reconnecting with family. It was originally released as a series, but was re-released as a feature film later.

Caz, the trans protagonist, is played by a trans male actor (Elz Carrad). All trans characters are played by trans actors. The writer (Cole Meyers) is trans. Tweedie Waititi, Taika Waititi's sister, was brought in as a consultant to develop the film's Māori storylines.

I would personally recommend accessing Rūrangi through legal means (purchasing it or watching it through a streaming subscription), because it deserves your money and clicks. Not only was a trans man cast in the central role, but 59% of the cast and crew were non-binary, and the motto of the film is "by us and about us". If anything deserves your hard-earned dollars, it's Rūrangi. They set out to make a good movie, and they managed to do that while employing members of our community. Beyond the groundbreaking representation and behind-the-scenes inclusivity, it's just... a genuinely touching, watchable production.
