People Who Have Been Dehumanized And Go "fuck You, I'm A Human No Matter What You Say" And People Who

It FINALLY happened 🤩 I've waited my whole thirty five years to get to watch this happen in real life! Why yes, I did spend several hours sitting in the yard staring at cicada on a Saturday night and it was amazing!

Are you able to identify the bug from the weird bug in charge of the night time meme?

I can't say which exact species, but it's a giant water bug in the family Belostomatidae - they're often called toe biters. I imagine if you found the original photo that was pasted into the meme, it would tell you the exact species, if you care.

I assume everyone's seen it, but if not:

google you gotta relax

*raises my hand to ask a question* what if we collectively refused to refer to AI as 'AI'? it's not artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence doesn't currently exist, it's just algorithms that use stolen input to reinforce prejudice. what if we protested by using a more accurate name? just spitballing here but what about Automated Biased Output (ABO for short)

cicadas are literally so baby

@rogueinkglitch submitted: A plethora of friends from Ohio! A lovely mantis who has made its home in the flower garden and is getting bigger by the day, one of the many cicadas who I have been rescuing from the pavement on my college campus, a caterpillar, an absolute stunning centipede, two of the many millipede found in a crevice in a rock face while hiking, a beetle of some kind, another beetle, and a very pretty moth who did a little wiggle dance then went to sleep on my arm for a while before I coaxed her back onto a leaf so I could go inside. Exact ids on any of these babies would be appreciated, all are from Ohio!

Side note you are one of my favorite blogs, most of my friends are not insect fans so I love sharing my finds here where I know a lot of people will enjoy them!

Thank you! I am very glad to receive and coo over any and all bug photos, so you've come to the right place.

In order: Chinese mantis, dog-day cicada, white-marked tussock moth caterpillar, NOT a centipede but rather a black and gold flat millipede, American giant millipede, would need a clearer photo but looks weevil-y?, not a beetle but a leaf-footed bug, and finally idk offhand. Brown mystery moth.

Thanks for sharing all your lovely friends!
