Prompt 191
So. Apparently immortality does in fact exist. And is apparently very easily accidentally achieved, if the fact an entire city has it now.
The GIW will be waiting a very long time to be able to drop that ghost shield, because the city doesn’t seem to be dying out anytime soon. Or at all actually. It’s been several generations now.
They might need to request assistance. Maybe before others start to investigate now that vigilantes are becoming a semi-common thing.
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#The ghost shield made it where the ecto wasn’t able to disperse as it came out of the portal & filled the city#Everyone became too ecto contaminated to be able to exit#And just… stopped being able to die permanently or by old age#They’re not exactly humans nor ghosts but something in-between#Aka Liminal as fuck#Technically everyone counts as a meta or alien#They sure aren’t human anymore & all remember the shit the GIW and government have pulled#They’ve opened up trading with the Realms a while ago#They give them living world things that help with obsessions & get seeds or whatever supplies in exchange#Along with training#They all give off necromancing fae vibes#Liminal Amity Park#Danny is Not ghost king

Tea Time: Fireweed
lf you’ve seen one fireweed, you’ve probably seen several. As an early successional species, growing in large numbers across a vast amount of space is kind of its thing. Any disturbance that leaves bare ground in its wake, such as a wildfire or a windstorm, gives fireweed the opportunity to colonize. It grows quickly and spreads via rhizomes, producing thousands of airborne seeds in the process,…

Anyway good morning everyone. I got my wisdom teeth out on Thursday and my still mouth hurts a little bit and my face is swollen but I am being so brave about it. Also I have been dying working on my thesis so I can graduate this summer and I have read so much about seed dispersal networks that it feels like my head is about to explode. And I still don't know what I'm talking about
#feeling very chatty this morning hello you guys#i do kind of know what im talking about wrt seed dispersal networks its just that the more you learn the more you realize you dont know#so i vacillate constantly between 'oh my god i understand' and 'i dont even know how to read'

Unopened drupes of Proboscidea louisianica, the unicorn plant. Once dry they will spilt apart to reveal a woody seed capsule – the devil’s claw – with sharp, curved hooks to latch onto your hooves (if you are a deer or sheep) or boots (if you are a hiker).

So mid-to-late summer last year a vine started growing in the walkway of my new planting bed in front of the house. I let it go because I threw around a lot of old seed and had no idea if it was from that or a weed or something else. I finally was able to identify it as a volunteer something else--a passionflower vine!
The reason I was able to identify it was because I usually walk the alleys on my way home from trips to the library and about a block and a half away from home there's the back half of a back yard that at one time was used to grow food plants instead of being used for parking. It's been left to go wild now though, but still has some of the food plants like passionflower vines and blackberry canes and tubs of what looks like horseradish. So it was by comparing the leaves that I discovered what I had. It also likely came from this plot via animal vector.
There wasn't really enough time left in the year to flower, but when the frost killed it I marked where it had been so I could keep an eye out for it in the spring (and so I wouldn't accidentally dig it up).
So here it is:
There's a second one about a foot away too!
It's positioned perfectly so I can let the vine ramble through the tomato plants I'll be planting in a week or two, shading the roots. So excited to see if I get any flowers this year or if it needs to get more established first.

The creative variation of stick insect egg cases.
Female stick bugs lay eggs in small groups, or one at a time, on random leaves, or simply dropping them on the forest floor. The eggs are little works of art, tiny sculpted vases, when the nymph emerges it will unfold to be much longer than the egg. (Photos by François Tetaert)
FIGURE 3 | Stick and leaf insect eggs illustrating the breadth of their phenotypic diversity. Eggs depicted in the top two rows have capitula. Corresponding taxonomic
names are provided in Supplementary Table S3. Photos by François Tetaert.
Photo from: Evolution of Oviposition Techniques in Stick and Leaf Insects (Phasmatodea) James A. Robertson Sven Bradler and Michael F. Whiting.
Ants sometimes play a role in the dispersal of stick insect eggs (lol did you think there would be no ants in this story? LMAO. Come on.) basically the stick insect uses the same strategy as many plants. They don't just imitate the appearance of plants!
Photo of tiaratum via reddit.
The stick insect creates an egg/seed with a hard to remove edible reward, this causes ants to drag the eggs long distances. If you know ants are going to move your eggs for you... why not mimic ants too when you are too little to be mistaken for a plant?
The order containing stick insects is called Phasmatodea. What a remarkable bunch! There is a table showing their lineage and the many ways they disperse their eggs in this fantastic paper. Check it out! (free to download, lots of photos)
Last, here is the first photo again along with the scientific names for the species that created each egg case.
A Pharnacia ponderosa

National Birds Day is celebrated annually on January 5. The day recognizes the crucial roles birds play in our ecosystem. They’re pollination powerhouses, seed dispersers extraordinaire, and insect-munching maestros, keeping our environment balanced. Birds fill our world with breathtaking beauty and delightful melodies, enriching our lives with their vibrant presence. #naitonalbirdday #birdday Build your brand with digital media & take benefit of social media branding contact with Absolute Digital Branding.

#horses are not an invasive species.#horses do not damage water holes and grass as much as cattle and sheep do#horses help the environment When they have room to roam and disperse naturally#it’s such a dumb argument saying they hurt the land when deer literally pick through their feces for seeds and drink where they dig#yes they are large animals who can damage an overly small environment be#they need a lot more than most state parks can give them#same with all large ungulates and predators#people can co-exist with all animals but many do not want to learn how#animal sense should be taught in schools. it’s embarrassing how few people know how to read animals and nature#rant over#will probably delete these tags later but after so many roundups Killed horses recently I am still furious#there are millions of#mustangs in government concentration camps#with no shelter no browse not enough room to run#mustangs either get shipped off to buyers who will sell them for meat or they get sick and die in the holding corrals#tax payers are paying for animals to suffer.#Move them to other wild areas. Stop treating them like a parasite#don’t even get me started on how bad predators are treated#I had to stop following conservation centers and rescues online because I was getting bad news constantly#I am oversaturated with bad news and I have too much to deal with in rea#real life to deal with getting my heart broken online too

They all clearly failed biology.

oh are we doing trc/tdt canon major hate? is that what’s up? anyway. why the fuck is blue not a conservation biologist and/or an ecologist. what the fuck is sociology. blue is doing biodiversity rapid inventories in the cloud forests as we speak
#i think she would be an ecologist and i think she would probably get into complex plant+animal interactions#she knows so much about seed dispersal

What Is Cheatgrass and Why Should I Care?
To understand the current state of rangeland wildfires in the Intermountain West, you must first familiarize yourself with a plant commonly referred to as cheatgrass. This annual grass moved into the region over a century ago, and its spread has had a massive impact on the environment, as well as the economy and our way of life. Just the very mention of cheatgrass in the West will get some…
