chirp chirp!

No bc aspens are wild. They rarely reproduce sexually, instead they send up new trunks from their roots. Theres a grove in Utah that is a single genetic individual called Pando. New research suggests it’s the oldest living thing on the planet being between 16,000 and 80,000 years old. In other words, there is a grove of trees, that is actually one tree, that has been alive longer than humans have been around to see it, and its covered in eyes.

like take the transness out of the equation, reminder that cis people also get gender dysphoria. if you heard a cis woman say she saw a woman who was so ugly it made her feel bad about herself, you wouldn't worry about whether that's "valid" you'd just think she was an asshole

a body count not as in homicide nor as in sexuality but as in the trail of people from my childhood and adolescence i should’ve been a better friend to and taken better care of but i was too busy being caught up in my own heartache to recognize their own and therefore our relationship tapered off in an extremely unsatisfying way that continuously manifests itself as a thrumming sense of grief in my chest. anyway which restaurant chains have the best free pre-meal bread?

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that

Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.

just found out that accidentally in love by counting crows was literally made for shrek. they didnt just choose it. it didnt exist before. they asked counting crows to make a song for shrek 2 and thats how we got one of the best songs ever made. insane.

counting crows knew shrek 2 would become one of the best movies ever made and had to act accordingly
