a baby

that’s the purriest meow I’ve ever heard

welcome back to my blog small baby

I just let this run on repeat for awhile.  Two of my cats are comically hunting for their loud hidden friend.

this is the sound of a cat who really, truly loves the person they are chirping at.  

the fact that community colleges are seen as less valid and for “stupid” people is a result of classism and in this essay I will-

TELL ME WHY

AIN’T NOTHIN BUT A HEARTACHE

TELL ME WHY

AIN’T NOTHIN BUT A MIIISTAKE  

TELL ME WHY

I NEVER WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY

I WANT IT THAT WAY

It was number 5. Number 5 killed my brother.

Oh my god I totally forgot about that

have you ever heard a cute boy giggle its literally life changing

Actually pretty easy. Trees don’t reject tissue from other trees in the same family. You bend the tree to another tree when it is a sapling, scrape off the bark on both trees where they touch, add some damp sphagnum moss around them to keep everything slightly moist and bind them together.  Then wait a few years- The trees will have grown together.  You can use a similar technique to graft a lemon branch or a lime branch or even both- onto an orange tree and have one tree that has all three fruits. Frankentrees.

As a biologist I can clearly state that plants are fucking weird and you should probably be slightly afraid of them.

On that note! At the university (UBC) located in town, the Agriculture students were told by their teacher that a tree flipped upside down would die. So they took an excavator and flipped the tree upside down. And it’s still growing. But the branches are now the roots, and the roots are now these super gnarly looking branches. Be afraid.

I am both amazed and horrified of nature as we all should be

I love how trees are like “fuck it, I’ll deal” at literally everything. Forest fire? Cool, my seeds’ll finally grow. Upside down? Branches, suck, roots, leave. What’s this new branch? Eh, welcome to the tree buddy.

I need to be more like tree

I continue to fear and respect out arboreal overlords.

what kind of professor did these students have that they needed to prove him wrong so badly that they literally dug up a tree, flipped it and put it back in the ground?

HOLY SHIT

THE LAST ONE

Solarpunk as fuck!!
