When people get a little too gung-ho about-
wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?
ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.
That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

The woods near my new place are loaded with wild ginger (Asarum canadense), and I'm obsessed. Look at these funky little flowers.
(4/2024)
#yessss#also a fun fact: not only are they ant pollinated#the seeds are also ant-dispersed#they have a fatty little nodule on them which is like a fruit for ants#and once the ants have eaten it they put the seed in their midden which is just where it wants to sprout

“It ends or it doesn’t. That’s what you say. That’s how you get through it. The tunnel, the night, the pain, the love. It ends or it doesn’t. If the sun never comes up, you find a way to live without it. If they don’t come back, you sleep in the middle of the bed, learn how to make enough coffee for yourself alone. Adapt. Adjust. It ends or it doesn’t. It ends or it doesn’t. We do not perish.”
— Caitlyn Siehl, It Ends or it Doesn’t

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

Save a Native-owned local farm & the homes of the four people who live there
Laurae has built up Gray Fox Farm with her blood, sweat, and tears, and she needs help raising legal funds to defend it from a wealthy white lawyer who is leveraging his power to demand she pay more than the market value of the property plus give up half her infrastructure, claiming that’s “50%” of the equity.
Please support someone who truly deserves it. Laurae houses me, my partner, and another individual here, and she works so fucking hard making it by on barely anything. She deserves to be left in peace with everything she’s worked so hard for.
#damn this is incredibly fucked up#thinking you've amicably divorced someone outside of court only for them to come back years later and tear the rug out from under you#AND the guy's a lawyer and pulling a bunch of bullshit power plays#Some fuck shit. Plus of course the racism.#I hope they're able to make their goal and win their legal case!#And I hope somebody slaps the guy also. Less likely but I'm putting it out there.#(also it's some kind of evil how much you have to pay for legal representation. Truly what the fuck.)

William B. “Bill” Watterson II.
#wait wait wait hold up#Calvin's *dad* is the self insert?#this..... explains so much actually#(I mean I'm sure it's not one to one like that. but still)#.... on second look he's stylized himself pretty differently than Calvin's dad in that panel#I was just struck by the similarity in that photo of him somehow. The vibes.

Sometimes I put my face up against my dog while he's sleeping to feel his little lungs expand and his little heart beat and I am struck by the beauty of of life and the miracle of nature to evolve for thousands of years just to create one little guy and put him in my house
