The old-timers knew stuff that today's people have forgotten.

Sodium fluoride is poison.

yes. the species i feel the most sympathy for are the #roaches, because they are killed ON SIGHT...just for being alive.

no. i didnt always feel that way. i grew up to fear them and was deeply traumatized by being locked in infested rooms until i became terrified of them.

literally cos of #gaza, i realized how unfair it was to #genocide roaches just cos of my fear and lack of understanding.

so now, i leave them be cos they deserve life too and were born into lack and h8tred....just like me.

Gecko life has taken a weird turn. But I'm here for it. Here's my new meat factory!

#Apartments where the #cock #roaches are a feature not a #bug... 🤩

Brisbane cockroaches vs Sydney cockroaches

Brisbane roaches
- light brown
- big booty
- everywhere all of the time
- like to fly suddenly at your face
- don't respect personal space (see open mouth as invitation)
- die dramatically in the middle of the floor
- kind of cute if you can overcome your gag reflex
- orange cats of the cockroach world
- paladins of chaos

Sydney roaches
- black
- size: petite giantess
- flightless
- loners but somehow there are millions of them
- always seem to be pregnant
- sneaky rogue class
- high dodge skill
- immune to everything, drink poison for breakfast
- would kill your family if they got the chance

Call me superficial, but what first got me really excited about electronics were the boards and components, like mysterious jewelry from another world— and especially the little bespoke dev boards with interesting colors and patterns— and those inviting arrays of protoboard holes that seemed to whisper “modify me! make something cool!” Here are some beautiful components for you to enjoy. #electronics #arduino #lightBlueBean #segmentDisplay #computerscience #roaches #oled #atmega328p

I drew Attaphilla fungicola today. These are the little roaches that live with Atta leaf cutter ants. #ants #drawing #ant_art #AntArt

Alex Wild got me interested in attaphila fungicola with this first super cute photo of the myrmecophilous roaches that live with leaf cutter (fungi farming) ants. I think their habit of harmlessly hitching rides on ants could inspire a line of adorable felt pillboxes. Can you see it? #ants #roaches #fashion

Yesterday's meeting of my orchid society was especially good and not just because one of my plants won a ribbon (see previous post) and we discussed the upcoming show. I got a #Dracunculus vulgaris and a #Pinguicula esseriana from one of my main plant swapping buddies; I got a starter colony of #Blaptica #dubia #roaches from another member; I picked up a #Crassula ovata, #Pachyphytum oviferum, and some sort of small #Haworthia from other members; and I sold an old glazed ceramic orchid pot.
