"There are some things non-lepidopterists should not be able to understand and I regret being able to understand this now" or something like that.

Hilariously this hasn't ruined moths for me. It's made them much more interesting and amusing.

my old GP (I moved states) once told me to stop studying costume design, my communications skills were much more needed in the medical field because I could break down complex things into easy sentences. I think he'd regret saying that if he read these skeets.

Oh that's just not fair now. How come moths can be comparatively better armed than I, a human who has shopped around for multiple somewhat intimidating marital aids?

And people say MY fanfic is unrealistic. But suddenly this moth has quad gigadick and it's fine and lepidopterists are like "OOH COOL." *wink*

That's like if a human male saw something remotely attractive, then suddenly four pool noodles wrapped in feather boas and dipped in Axe Spray suddenly erupt from his pants.

I mean just look at that magnificent little mofo. Hint of a female and he's everting those four giant featherduster things, each longer than his torso. WHERE DOES HE HAVE THE MECHANISMS TO EVERT THEM. HOW DO THEY FIT BACK IN. TALK ABOUT SIZE QUEENS.

That's his actual junk hanging out perfuming the air with his masculine mothscent? Waving his tackle around getting that nut-sweaty stank hoping some girl moths smell him? Nobody gets to tell me gay and kink is wrong because it's "unnatural" now, look at this fucking moth. THAT'S NATURE.

Nah. It makes me appreciate every moth I see then, because I know it's on its way to fuck and die. I'll cheer them on. "GO GET SOME LITTLE INSECT. GO MAKE BABIES GLORIOUSLY."

I just have to get over that voice in my head that goes "you could always just learn to make it." No, brain, we've had that talk. You know how to make several thousand things roughly and you never have the time for more than one at a time.

Stunning. I'm an artist in different mediums — trained as a BFA printmaker and BA costume technician. I once wanted to learn hot glass and now I'm in my 40s and don't quite have the time or energy. Doesn't mean I can't pay you money for your work tho!

I play too much FFXIV because I see "Stack" and I think "you and all your boyfriends are going to have to stand on top of each other to tank this attack."

This one would hold one of those big fat candles beautifully though! And the glass would sparkle so prettily in the light. I'm going to look at your Etsy now so I can budget. I might have a suncatcher commission for you in the future.

... I don't know if this is me sticking my big fat nose in your creative pursuits, but if you made similar fused glass objects with a space for a tea light in the middle I would TOTALLY drop some money on it when I have the money.

What a lovely creature. That red is so striking and pretty. I'm glad you can help this one. I had a run-in with a tri-colored bat in Austin and she was the most delicate, beautiful little thing, and a bat rescue helped rehab her too.

Other weeks I'll be feeding like collards, bell peppers, salad greens and strawberries, or snap peas, carrots, and raspberries. The tortoises also get free choice hay, as do the guinea pigs.

We also make sure they have clean cool water all day, and their main food is Oxbow rat block.

This week their salad was kale and green beans, carrots, blueberries, and a little bit of cubed mango. Good stuff.

I try. I try to give them a great time, even if they will gleefully poop on the wall of their home and then look at me like "ha ha now you have to clean it off which means you have to open us up and pet us!"

My manager will sometimes cut up strawberries while he's prepping veggies for the tortoises and bearded dragons and ask me to give them to the rats. And then there's their 3x week salad with probiotic in it. (There's also the Guinea Pig Tabernacle Choir and their hymns to hay and veggies...)

Oh yes. And if they're amenable, I give them a little cuddle or scritch before I put them back in their home. There's two in particular who are very curious about me, so I chat with them and pet them every time I'm there, which is four days a week.

Today was a deep clean day, when we have to empty the whole tank and scrub the inside with disinfectant, so I put them all in a holding tank. The blueberries were a treat because they were being moved and didn't like it.

And for my part I try to convince every snake owner I know that barring certain niche cases, frozen is far safer for the snake itself.

I can't really do anything for the ratties under my care — I know they may go to feed snakes — but I always make sure their homes are clean and they have things to play with. Today I gave them a blueberry each. They seemed to like the treat.

Aww. Poor guys. I am now imagining a tiny frog bar though, with frogs in like spa mask packs and fluffy robes hanging around ordering very tiny margaritas.

we keep going to the rental office but they seem to have checked out for the long weekend — when they told us earlier this week they'd be there. we are going to their corporate overlords.

It has been seven days since our AC stopped working. Our landlords have not fixed the problem yet. They promised to send us window units to use while the AC was out. They did not so far send any. It's about 10 degrees F hotter inside than it is outside, which is a problem as it's in the high 90s.
