And I can hear some of you saying that's some heterosexual nonsense but NO

NO

This is UNIVERSAL

And it's not genuine hate or regret at like being with you. They still love you and shit it's just you said or sent them something SO CURSED that they just are filled with Regret

And then you cackle like the horrible little gremlin you are and scuttle off to find more things so you can respond to their eventual retaliation

Wooo took a bit of a break from posting microscopy so I could finish off my demonstrating and field work for the year! BUT we're back at it, and this week features Actinobole uliginosum!

This plant is so tiny, only a few cm high (so-called inchflora), that you’d need to be on your hands and knees in the dirt to really notice it exists. It’s an Asteraceae with cottony leaves and white-creamy coloured flowers. In Victoria you can find them in shrublands and dry forests in the west.

Some cross-sections of underdeveloped inflorescences to finish us off. It's a bit of chaos inside these with all the cottony hairs and pappus from the florets, but you can see how deep these inflorescences go into the plant!

Just found her laying like this with a nicotine patch, do you think she's planning to quit? :[ we have cigaretttes at home...
