  3. Melloona – where things grow a little differently

    • ♥ ! • Happy Fantasy Faire • ! ♥ • It’s that time of the year again. Every year I think I know what to expect, and every year it still feels a bit unreal when everything finally comes together. What starts as scattered ideas becomes a world of its own. This year, Luna and I sponsored and built Melloona. Melloona is a quiet, curious realm where the familiar turns gently impossible. Expect wild colors, vines and of course, melons. It doesn’t shout, it hums softly and […]

  8. While I'm in a call about the horrors of adult abuse, here is a photo of a really big earthworm. I have pretty small feet but this guy was somewhere in the 30-40cm range.

    "Crucially, both field and laboratory data demonstrated a significant reduction in particle size in casts compared to soil (6.48% and 19.8%, respectively), supporting the potential earthworm effects on MP (microplastic) mechanical attrition. Polymer compositions in casts mirrored those in soils, exhibiting a nonselective and passive ingestion pathway. Beyond physical transport, the formation of field biogenic polymer aggregates facilitated chemical aging of MPs, as evidenced by elevated oxidation indices. This process was likely accelerated by the enrichment of plastic-degrading microbial taxa (e.g., Flavobacterium) within casts, which exhibited up to a 35.6-fold increase in relative abundance."

  24. Hiện tượng lạ tại Quảng Trị: Hàng loạt giun đất bò lên mặt đường rồi chết khô, khiến người dân thôn Vịnh Sơn (xã Phú Trạch) bất ngờ và lo lắng. Nguyên nhân có thể do thời tiết thay đổi đột ngột hoặc đất bị ngập úng.

    Stumbled upon it one day in #Ubuntu's app store's “New and Updated” section. 'Twas actually the #Flatpak version, which doesn't really have the best #images and #description, as it's #unofficial, so I wasn't drawn to it at first, but just kept in my #mind. A few days later, #BraveBrowser started having a lot of #issues (it was my bad, actually, but anyway) and I switched to #MicrosoftEdge for a while. A little time after, I found out about some ugly things M$ does through its #browser, and looked for an #alternative. #Browsers like #Brave were already too #basic for me, after using #Edge, and thus, when I saw #Vivaldi as a powerful alternative, I didn't hesitate a moment and tried it.

    That's the most #important part of the story, but… there's a second #volume: At first, I was like a #crazy #chicken in front of a pot full of #earthworms, so… I obviously broke the browser in just one, two days. In the meanwhile, I also managed to repair Brave, and I was thinking of leaving V, considering it too #buggy. But luckily, I decided to give it one more chance, this time being more #cautious about #messing up with #settings… and here I am!

    You might call me a very #wise person, since I didn't #giveUp immediately, but the #truth is… I was simply #mesmerized by it… :tony_happy:

  30. #Robins are insect lovers at heart. In the spring and summer, they’re on the hunt for #earthworms, #grubs, #snails, and #insects.
    To attract them, keep your #garden natural. Avoid lawn pesticides (which kill off their favourite food), and leave a few wild areas with leaf litter, compost piles, or wood stacks. These make great hiding places for bugs and offer robins the kind of “forest floor” they love to forage in.
