REACT COLLECTION

What a beautiful gang of reactions I saw on this post! I simply have to share it with the world:

I am filled with a sense of inner joy. Thank you @brickwhartley!

Humans like to smell the genitals of plants, even going so far as to cut them off and give them to each other.

YESSSSSSS FINALLY A VIDEO GAME CHARACTER IN THE PRIDE COMMUNITY!!!!!

Im finally watching a Slime rancher 2 gameplay and noticed a very small new detail on Beatrix jacket:

THAT'S THE PAN FLAG

THE BELOVED SCRUNKLY IS PAN AND ITS CANON

stuff i've cried at while on my period

trying to sing low and then my voice cracked on me and i started crying

someone told me that everything was solved and i cried then and there

was running laps in gym and my tear ducts decided to activate

someone told me different stretches to do to help an injury and i cried silently for some reason

a family member asked about medication and my brain was like 'time to cry'

i was talking to someone about social stigma and started crying???

What have you cried at on your period? (or even not on your period what's a time you started crying for no reason)

i wanna try this, PLEASE INTERACT IF you have a twin, you’re a redhead, you moved around a lot as a kid, your dad is didn’t know you were his kid until you were like twenty, you were adopted by a cult, you have/had a face tattoo, you’ve beat up three men, you have a binder full of clippings of your idol who you were childhood friends with, you killed your mom, your dad is a serial killer, you owe 80% of your salary to the yakuza, or you have a cat named sir or king <3

Please reblog if you think that “they/them/theirs” is a valid set of pronouns.

this post must be reblogged by everyone

GO FORTH MY FRIENDS. DO IT.

I wish I could blaze a post telling people to test their smoke alarms but I have literally no money so if y’all could help me spread this the old fashioned way

Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors

@moonthemagical look it's bees

Okay, entomology brain is annoyed by a Tumblr ad

Specifically, this one. First, Albert Einstein never said that.

Secondly, and more importantly, that is NOT a honey bee, or even a bee at all. That is a bee fly, a very important, very cute pollinator. However! They have parasitoid larvae! This means that they lay their eggs in the larvae of other bugs. Those eggs hatch, and those larvae eat the bug they’re in from the inside out. Sounds horrible, but it’s the way of things and I cannot understate how important these guys are.

The reason I’m annoyed about the picture of choice isn’t even that they didn’t picture a bee (not even in the right order- bees are hymenopterans. Flies are diptera.) What’s really grinding my absolute gears about the choice here? Bee flies parasitize bee larva.

If you’re going to use the wrong picture, at least don’t use the picture of something that actively kills what you’re trying to protect instead of the animal you’re protecting.

Also, honeybees, Apis mellifera, don’t need protection. They’re fine. They’re invasive in North America, even. Humans take care of them just fine. I’m a beekeeper, and I love them, but that’s not where our efforts should be. We should be trying to protect native bees, there are a whole bunch that I bet you’ve never heard of that need help.

Anyway, rant over. Sorry, I just could not let that one go.

I don't check Tumblr for about 3 hours to play Minecraft and listen to show tunes & Kpop, and suddenly I'm followed by like 15 bots? Come on, Tumblr!
