Actually, I think Lyle's problem, especially when he was younger, was that he treated everything like a game. He didn't take chemistry seriously and he didn't take espionage seriously, and money and success came easily to him. Even the most stupid and risky of his ideas and plans seemed to end well, hence the explosions and having to rely on Jac to save him. That's what Charma hates about him, the way everything seemed to come so easily to him despite his own lack of dedication.
And then Jac "died".
That might have been when he finally realised exactly what he'd gotten himself into. It's in all likelihood where his more mature outlook and serious work ethic stems from, and why he takes most of his Legion work more seriously. There are still moments of recklessness, of thinking he can do anything or fool anyone, but it seems like he mainly reserves that for situations that are comparably safe.

im so sick of unnecessary dinner scenes in movies đĄ every fucking movie they just want to titillate you with some food because they think youâre a dumb animal who just wants to see mashed potatoes bouncing. if its an IMPORTANT dinner scene where they explain lore then whatever i understand. but they shove useless meals into every movie these days and its disgusting
its true though sex scenes are bad and you only are defending them cuz you wont question that men put their fetishes into everything. movies by women literally just dont have sex scenes and if rhey do its not gratuitous and lasts two seconds or its played for comedy . Fuck you and your dinners idc bro
i mean, itâs true! as long as you discount the crazy outliers like Jane Campion, Mary Harron, Sofia Coppola, Andrea Arnold, Julia Ducournau, Claire Denis, CĂŠline Sciamma, Anna Biller, Jennifer Kent, Eliza Hittman, Cheryl Dunye, Dee Rees, Donna Deitch, Joanna Hogg, Rose Glass, Diablo Cody, Emma Seligman, Kitty Green, Halina Reijn, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Charlotte Wells,

Despite their luminescent glow, lightning bugs have remained a conservation mystery until relatively recently. Now researchers are relying o
Excerpt from this story from Audubon:
âI canât tell you how many people come that are like, âI grew up seeing fireflies, and I donât see as many now,â â says Matt Johnson, the centerâs director.
Candace Fallon, a conservation biologist at the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, had long heard similar concerns. But when she checked the literature in 2018, she found little to no information on firefly trends. In fact, there was no comprehensive population data for any of the 179 known firefly species in the United States.
Fallon and a team at the International Union for Conservation of Nature set out to determine how American fireflies are faring. In 2021 they published their findings, the first list of conservation statuses for U.S. fireflies. Of the 132 species they reviewed, more than half lacked enough data to conclude anything for certain. But among the species whose status was clear, the scientists found 20 to be threatened or near threatened.
Fireflies, which are actually bioluminescent beetles, face many of the same threats as birds. Habitat lossâespecially of wetlands, given the insects' preference for moist areasâis a major issue. (Indeed, the most threatened fireflies are the species that depend on only one type of landscape, such as the critically endangered Bethany Beach firefly, which primarily occupies freshwater wetlands between sand dunes along a 20-mile stretch of the Delaware coast.) Rising seas and extreme weather events drown coastal birds' nests as well as firefly habitat, while pesticides kill insect prey that both fireflies and birds rely onâand likely fireflies themselves. Light pollution, which can disorient nocturnal migratory birds and contribute to fatal building collisions, also disrupts lightning bugsâ ability to communicate: Flashing in a brightly lit environment is like trying to yell across a crowd.
To help fill critical knowledge gaps, researchers are turning to community science. The Fireflyers International Network collects data on iNaturalist from all over the world, and in 2022 Fallon and the Xerces Society launched the Firefly Atlas, where U.S. participants can share incidental observations and even conduct field surveys. These crowdsourced records can illuminate how species are trending in the face of threats.
In some parts of the country, community scientists are logging the first records of fireflies. In the West, the flashing beetles are such a rare sight that some people believe they are imaginary. âItâs like: unicorns, dragons, fireflies,â says Christy Bills, an entomologist at the Natural History Museum of Utah. Western fireflies have always been harder to find: They appear late at night, in small numbers, and in marshy areas where people donât often hang out. So Bills and her partners at Brigham Young University started the Western Firefly Project to focus attention on them. Today its participants have spotted fireflies in 27 of 29 counties in Utah, where previously there had been only a few documented sightingsâand in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana, so exciting to Bills that she likens the discoveries to finding gold.
sometimes i talk about how awful it was to feel trapped by my daily makeup routine and how i couldnât leave the house without putting on a full face and it played a major role in the misery of my high school experience because i had to spend so much extra time getting ready in the mornings and that followed me into my early 20s as well and it was hell and it was so incredibly liberating to go through the slow and uncomfortable but ultimately essential process of getting my bare face back and having makeup be an optional accessory instead of a mandatory uniform. and the response always tends to be ah yes of course, because of your trans and your masculine. and itâs like aha so close! actually! I think if I ended up being a feminine cis woman I also still would not deserve even a second of that shit! I think trans women and nonbinary people and every human alive should have the option to leave the house without a single cosmetic product ever touching their face! but thanks for playing!
and when I say people should have the option obviously I do not mean âyeah you can but everyoneâs gonna treat you like youâre frumpy and weird.â I also kinda donât even mean âyouâre beautiful even without makeup!!â because like. well of course i think many people are. some of the most beautiful faces i have ever seen in my life have had not a drop of makeup on them. and thatâs awesome or whatever. but itâs also kind of irrelevant to the overall point Iâm actually making. really what im saying is it shouldnât fucking matter if you are beautiful or even pleasant to look at at all! you should be able to just be, all the time no matter what. everyone around you should just treat you like a person who is worthy of respect and fair treatment regardless of what you look like. I am of course keenly aware that that is not presently actually how things work much of the time. but that end goal is what my stance on makeup is informed by. you should never ever ever fucking need it to be treated with decency.
