I’ve been stung by a carpenter bee. They’re usually pretty chill.
And dirt daubers are bros.
It’s true you can pet Bumblebees
I’ve been mercilessly killing paper wasps and now I feel terrible 😭
I thought they were like yellow jackets!!! I wanna apologize to all the innocent paper wasps I’ve crushed!!!
yeah then there’s the tarantula hawk, which is a type of spider wasp, because of course that’s a thing.
so yanno. that’s pleasant.
a dude researching them described the pain as “…immediate, excruciating, unrelenting pain that simply shuts down one’s ability to do anything, except scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations.”
Shout out to the time in the 4th grade when a girl angrily called me an ‘oxymoron’ and I knew she’d used the wrong word and I wanted to roast her for it but I just started crying
I spent the afternoon arranging our books by size and color (and it’s so satisfying and looks amazing) and my partner came home and stared in shock at the bookcase and then said “i’m a librarian, you can’t do this.”
him: you split up all the song of ice and fire books
me: yeah i know, they’re all primary colors, it’s perfect
him: [self-destructs]
You’re a monster
As a former bookstore employee, this hurts my soul. I mean, sure it looks nice, but how do you find anything?
it has occurred me during this process that apparently not everyone thinks about books by what color they are? like, literally when i’m looking for a book, i picture it in my mind. i have a very…tactile experience with the books i read and idk! i thought everyone did that lol.
my partner was like “how will i find [this book] for instance” and i replied “easy, it’s purple” and he looked at me like i was a witch.
OP your brain is neat and I love you for it you funky little color-coded cupcake. But you’re still a monster.
i am tall enough that when i stand up in a public restroom i can see over the top of the stall door and stare myself in the eyes through the mirror reflection. i dislike this because it reminds me that i am in there, and by that i mean both my human body and the public restroom
