Frankly I'm amazed any of us are still alive and able to reproduce.
well, it takes time for plastics n pollution to spread. we wouldn't expect to see implications of production from the 2000s until around 2010s to now.

we really didn't have widespread production until 1980 and only started to notice 'hmm everyone seems to be hosed up' by the mid 90s. we're also just now finding out that ppl under <45 are getting asscancers at astronomical rates. as is everything else

iirc impaired ferility rates have skyrocketed. like there's one thing to say births are falling because of economic conditions/perma-renter class/declining material conditions/education/IUDs/whatever, which is all very true, but there's another that people whom are trying are not able to now. i want to say its around ~20% have impaired fertility now, which is huge since that number used to be fairly low and people used to just get knocked up on a drop of watery precum. sperm concentrations have also plummeted in guys

i've accidentally become custodian of a colony of freshwater snails. as far as i know australia doesn't have any invasive freshwater snails, so i think they're native. they're reproducing and seem happy, and if the snails are happy, i'm happy

e: ok australia has many invasive freshwater snails lol, i was wrong. i can't trust myself anymore

I was making my guacamole tonight and was using a plastic cutting board, just chopping up all my ingredients with added micro plastic particle flavors. Shout out to goon that told me to blend the lime and cilantro together into a cohesive slime. Came out great in my plastic food processor. Put the guac in plastic bowl and sealed it up with a PFA cling wrap. Living it up

they protect and feed their offspring during their entire larval stage, fighting off predator insects and regurgitating food into their little wormy jaws when they beg until the kids are able to fend for themselves, which is pretty amazing

they also eat their kids if they're weird or ugly or slow but hey

Bombing down hills especially when there are cars around or I'm on singletrack I get this sort of vision of myself hitting a tree or a car or my wheel falling off and my body getting utterly ragdolled and for some reason it leads to this mad exhilaration where I feel like I'm both invincible and already dead and the sky is so blue and the wind is so fresh and I can smell every dandelion pushing up through cracks in the pavement as they whiz by in a slow motion blur. I feel that I'm laughing like a lunatic but my jaw is set and I'm breathing deeply through my nostrils taking in huge volumes of air all of the way down to the small iron bar that lies at the core of my being. There is an anchor rode fastened to that iron bar that stretches to the center of the earth and in that moment I understand enlightenment, peace, and the ecstacy of faith.

back in college, a friend of mine got horribly injured riding a bike down a hill

he was riding down this steep hill in a dense SF neighborhood (probably going too fast, hard not to when the hill is a 20 degree grade) and a woman stepped out into the road without looking from behind a car. he barely had time to react and swerved to avoid hitting her, veering off to the other side of the road and slamming through the back of a parked car’s rear window. he was wearing a helmet, thank god, a sturdy drat thing (I’d seen it before) and it nearly split in two from the impact. as he gathered himself he realized that one of his cheeks had been cut clean in half by the glass, joker style, from the corner of his lip to his jaw joint, like just flapping in the breeze

I guess it was gushing a shitload of blood and the lady who had stepped out into the road just bolted without checking if he was ok or calling for help. someone else called an ambulance and he ended up with a ton of stitches and an overnight in the hospital due to the blood loss. He ended up with a real gnarly scar and a horrifying (but somewhat badass) party story. Really sucked though, but despite it being a little disfiguring he rocked it and it was actually not terrible for his dating life

I still felt bad for him tho

earwigs are apparently also fierce protectors of their young. who knows what kind of mysterious love dwells in the heart of insects?
