Here's a wasp tip for you: if it's shaped like absolute nonsense, there's a good chance it's a chalcid wasp.

You can find this.... creature wherever you can also find its host: the arboreal weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina. Weaver ants are aggressively territorial and can, if left unchecked, take over entire trees with their complex nests. And its this nocturnal lump's job to do those checks.

A Falin inspired filigree thing

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

…relic…

Despite my support for iran against the US empire, I never believe in demeaning people like satrapi who have a more complex relationship with iran and was victimized in childhood by religious dogma. But at the end of the day her worldview was "theres fanatics and everybody else" without ever really questioning who the fanatics are, why Europe and America with false civil liberties would be concerned with the civil liberties of the mena region. Its so easy to fall to the liberal to neo to right wing pipeline when u never confront your worldview

Here she just regurgitates zionist propaganda that iran is the head of all these resistance groups

She said about leftist politician Melenchon saying his relationship to "hamas is quiet" and thinks hes an antisemite which is just lines repeated by right wing zionist media
