Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.
My children will be here for several days on an unplanned visit and I’m starting to panic a little as the house is in rough shape and there’s definitely not enough food for them, my dad, my cousin’s kid who stays here, and I. Any help is greatly appreciated, I’d like to focus on spending quality time with them while I have the chance than worry about if I’ll be able to feed them.
A bilingual sign tells you more than just where you need to go.
It tells you a country has more than one native language.
It tells you how the names for places are connected, or sometimes not, between languages.
It teaches you what others call that place in their language.
some signs tell you that the business owner used google translate but hey at least they tried
sometimes a bilingual street sign tells the english-speaker that we’re waaaaay more welcomed in someone else’s country than they are in ours. and we should think about that
This young hog came into the centre with a nasty cut on its back. We’re not sure how the injury occurred, but our vet team were able to give it a thorough clean and stitch the wound. She will stay in one of our pens to recover until she is ready for release.
spiders will pull their own legs clean off if they get damaged because most of them can regrow legs during molting, which explains why you often see spiders missing a leg but never any missing half a leg?
some remarkably distressing scientists proved this by getting a spider to pull off all of its legs and then feeding its limbless torso for months until it sprouted a full complement of legs again and then hopefully used them to get the fuck out of dodge
baby spiders don’t get lenses until their first molt and before that they just have baby eyes and while this ought not to be any weirder than the concept of baby teeth, welp,
there are so many spiders floating around thousands of metres up in the air that they’re described as “aerial plankton”
The Sky Is Full Of Spiders
there are spider-parasitising spiders but instead of laying eggs in organs or stealing blood or anything like that they just ride on top of bigger spiders and steal snacks when their mighty steed is eating
there are ant-mimicking spiders that use their disguises to raid ant nests and w/e but there are also ant mimics that just. hang out. they make fake ant colonies full of fake ants. sometimes the actual ants that they’re mimicking find their house and live with them. stealth 100
some mother spiders live in communal family nests, where multiple mothers can work together to bring down bigger prey while all their collected babies are cared for by the babysitters
some mother spiders feed their babies mouth to mouth like birds
some mother spiders carry their babies around and i was aware of this but not the fact that if you steal their eggsac they’ll freak out and search for it for hours and sometimes end up adopting anything that’s vaguely the right size, they will carry around empty snail shells for weeks and lovingly dote on them…
guys i am literally about to cry over spider moms
I am terribly afraid of spiders and most of this list makes me want to hide in the shower forever but that bit about the spider mom’s adopting anything vaguely egg-sack shaped makes me terribly sad so please give the spider moms their egg sacks back.
if it helps: please consider the concept of a spider mom who ends up adopting a snail and doesn’t understand why her many children became one child who is slow and wet but she loves them nonetheless
I know for a fact I’ve told this story on here before but I’ll never get over the time when I was working retail and I was cashing out some lady so I asked “cash, debit or credit how are you paying, ma’am?” And she said “that’s none of your business.” And demanded to speak to my manager about my invasive question
Oh, I’ve got one in this vein: a lady called our company wanting us to come steam clean her tile floors, but refused to give her address, instead demanding that we do it at our location. And hung up when I tried to explain that her floors were attached to her house.
I recently created a thread that on Twitter regarding the lower-bound estimates for how much electricity the Bitcoin blockchain consumed using publicly available numbers. The first part of this post is a slightly modified version of that thread.
sweden deporting an openly gay football player to uganda after years of persecution from ugandan press and authorities and who will absolutely be murdered on the spot just like his ex… bc his story was “too vague and not believable”
there’s a price on his head. he’s openly gay. his boyfriend comes to all his matches and practices. his ex boyfriend is DEAD bc they got outed.
