so i convicned that zoology is both fun and traumatizing.

like it sounds fun when i talk to my zoology friends. they're so in love with their major. god, i love them.

but also. also. i would definitely be traumatized if i were to dissect a frog. or learn about the sex lives of wasps. like. i'm too ace for this.

i love how every single internship application sucks out a piece of my soul and requires a minimum 3 hr recovery period. if not more.

#sometimes I can't even make it through in a single sitting. like rn #just finished the tell me about yourself question #two more to go #internship

Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

i just saw someone use an emoji in alt text and I was very very perplexed as to whether that really was the accessible choice to make

god have i secretly been a follower of canadian english all this while?

Instead of british english or american english they should make a secret third option called canadian english where you can spell colour with a “u” but you can also spell emphasize with a “z”

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?
