had a realization on why I like tumblr so much:
this is just my tiny little corner of the internet just for me. I can put funny things on it as much as I want and no one can stop me. It's just my silly little blog. My messy little internet bedroom. No one else can put things into my room unless I put them in there myself. No one can take those things away from me either
I like my little room :)

i was looking back at my old knitting posts to check on a thing and like yeah i really did just rocket right up the knitting skill tree over the course of a few months. no wonder i'm convinced i can knit literally anything i've spent ten minutes reading and watching videos about.
my personal knitting trajectory is that i learned to knit at age 8, stopped knitting at age 16 or so, and did not knit anything more complex than circular knit legwarmers with mild shaping at that time (so i could make rectangles and tubes and slightly widen the tubes). (ok i also did one lace scarf for about four inches but it was very bad.) then i got back into it at the end of college, and my projects were lace cowl > multiple stranded colorwork hats > socks on dpns > elaborately cabled sweater (which i finished only the back and half a sleeve of, admittedly, and am now picking up again) > most of a beaded lace crescent shawl in the span of, like, five months. and then a bunch of other shit after that! i literally can just learn to knit whatever the fuck i want, that's just uncontroversially true. what a fantastic hobby

Arthur Morgan (the obvious and most indisputably Correct answer)
John Marston (baby girl)
Dutch Van der Linde (hes super well written in canon which is why i rarely ever engage in fan content about him)
Charles Smith (genuinely don't think rdr2's themes could remain intact w/o him)
Javier Escuella (blorbo who i have a pepe-silvia-level wall of headcanons about)

this isn't meant to like. make you give your opinion on Discourse™️ or anything I just wanted to ask, but I keep seeing people upset about taylor dating mr. 1975 and I can't figure out if it's bc he's a terrible person or just a greasy alcoholic 😭😭😭 do you know what's up with that guy??? like on one hand I like not knowing things about celebs and I should keep it that way. but also
i, unfortunately, do know what's up with that guy and it's that he's said something problematic about every faction of society at least once. for me i have some weird, reluctant fondness for him because he is just a train wreck and he's such a twat all the time that at least it's nondiscriminating, and i also like that when he sings about mental illness it's bc he's actually BEEN THERE and been publicly a mess bc of it and been addicted to drugs and acted like a dick, and he ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, but also at no point am i gonna jump on the 'he's an amazing person' parade bc generally he is just a sleazy idiot. it is weird watching people suddenly dragging up every single thing he's ever said to be like 'look! this is why he's bad for our tay tay!' when the running joke with matty healy is that he's just a prick. like u dont need to expose his moral fibre. u can just say he's a prick. and also as funny as the jokes are she's still a grown woman who's been around the block a few times when it comes to dating. i think she will be okay maybe

On the vulture grub signal ! Moon does point out that a good chunk of creatures are bio-engineered purposed organisms; while it has been a while since the ancients left, evolution is an incredibly slow process. I saw the grubs as being like living beacons to call vultures. Why ? Some people headcanon vultures were for pest control, seeing how they don't necessarily target slugcats, while I personally think they could have been used for transport ! Buying a worm to call your uber driver... Kinda how rain deer will be drawn to spore puffs.
Oh yeah I know that a lot of things have an evolutionary history grounded in specific goal-oriented genetic modification, its more that I personally like to view things from the unchecked evolutionary processes of an ecosystem that would encouraged to flush out traits that are no longer directly beneficial
Evolution is a long and slow process, but very being heavily-locked into behaviors that don't facilitate your own lifecycle is also a fast track to extinction. Even if historically the vultures and grubs were tied to together, from an ecological standpoint this relationship works best if both creatures benefit from it in a natural system. Otherwise from an evolutionary standpoint it would start to shift away from that behavior! Which isn't to say it's /not/ a behavior left over from purposed modification, just that the behavior would shifted and changed with time to be something that is more mutualistic and beneficial than just plain ol' "Trained to respond to the thing".

im having a bit of a miserable time with the fish tank and i cannot figure out whats wrong with everyone!!!!! the shrimp losses were rough already but i think ive somewhat understood what happened (mixture of metals in our tap water/potentially copper treated plants/the ich medication) and ive just decided if these shrimp dont make it ill just not keep shrimp as my water permiters just dont suit but now ive noticed a few (2-3) of my kuhli loaches have fin problems with their pectorals degrading down to just nubs (literally when did this happen) but otherwise seemhappy and active so im treating the whole tank for finrot (i dont know how many loaches have it and it would be a nightmare to try and isolate them) and today i noticed one of the two german blue rams has just completely declined shes just sat on the bottom of the tank in the back corner not really doing anything :(!!!! i dont know whats happened!!
sucks cause like ive done so much research for these guys it feels a little miserable not knowing what the problem is and just seeing problems crop up out of nowhere
