finnish mythology: nine diseases
the nine diseases are the sons of loviatar; and they are pistos (consumption), ahky (colic), luuvalo (gout), riisi (rickets), paise (ulcer), rupi (scab), syoja (cancer), and rutto (plague). the ninth, a witch, and the worst of all, remains unnamed. he, the personification of envy, is banished by his mother to become the scourge of mankind.

Ratting update
We were invited out to a farm for abatement last night. We were out for three hours, had four people and five dogs, and dispatched 101 rats. It was a blast!
Descriptions of ratting under the cut, and I am sharing a photo this time. So be mindful if photos of dead animals bothers you.
It was 83F (28C) when we arrived so we had to pause several times to dunk the dogs and let them cool off. The property owners were incredibly gracious and provided the humans with a neverending supply of Gatorade.
Our main focus was a shed next to some chicken coops. We first focused on removing a bunch of grain cans and a lot of old discarded bags and wrappers. Rats were popping out left and right so everyone was able to nab something. There were so many that on two separate occasions I just reached down and grabbed one, then called the nearest dog and let them grab it out of my hand to dispatch. (I was wearing heavy gloves.)
Once we'd pulled everything out of the shed, we took note of all the tunnels. One person went to check out the coops and noticed that a lot of the rats were taking refuge there. We set a hose to flood the tunnels inside the shed and then all moved outside and stationed ourselves around the pen to catch the fleeing rats. Only one of our dogs is bird-safe, so everyone else was on a long line, which definitely restricted our movements a bit. The chickens graciously plastered themselves in a corner and stared at us as we worked.
Once the rats stopped coming out of the tunnels, two of us went inside to turn off the hose, figuring we were done with the shed. Kermit and the patterdale indicated very strongly that there were still rats under the floorboards. The owner got a crowbar and used it as a lever to lift the floorboards for us. Rats POURED out!! We heard yelling outside as they booked it for the chicken coop, and Kermit and the patt were just grabbing rats, shaking and dropping, then immediately moving to the next rat. It was chaotic.
After that, the dogs pronounced the shed cleared, so we moved to the chicken coop. We flooded those tunnels and dispatched rats as they came out. After that it was another 30 minutes or so of hunting down any stragglers and taking care of them.
A lot of these rats were huge. Some of them had to weigh like five pounds (2kg). They fought viciously-- our dogs were struggling to dispatch them. There were times where the humans had to step in to help. The greyhound's lips got torn up pretty bad. I remember one point where Kermit was repeatedly pulling a rat larger than his head out of a tunnel, biting it and getting bit, dropping it, then pulling it out of the tunnel again.
We also found some rat nests. We always feel really bad about killing the babies. The adults at least can fight back, hurt the dogs, get away. But the babies are helpless. So it's sad. But part of abatement is taking care of the next generation. So we make it as quick and painless as possible. At least it's not poison.
We cleared the shed and coops, but they've still got stables and a tool shed with serious infestations, so they're going to invite us back. I might bring Zaku next time to give him the experience.
And here is Kermit with the haul:

Yesterday, our dearly beloved rat, Hesper, passed away.
He was the last of our rats, as well as one of the most loving and good-hearted animals I have ever known. He slept in bed with us every night and spent every day overjoyed to be in our lives, even while declining following a stroke. When he finally reached a point where I could see he was starting to suffer, I made a petition to the Bone Mother asking her to embrace him and carry him lovingly to the Quietus. Not even two minutes afterward, he passed away in our hands as we stroked him and sang to him.
His warm cuddles, shining eyes, and unconditional love will be deeply missed and forever cherished in our hearts. It's really hard to lose another beloved companion while in the process of caring for two other terminally ill animals, but I am grateful he is at peace.
This is a mourning portrait taken of him after we anointed him with holy oils and laid him out on a bed of rose petals upon our Chthonic Altar. I feel compelled to share it, as a reminder that Death can be a beautiful and spiritual experience, even if it's a painful one.

What? How can anyone get mad at you for liking vultures? Sure, they're not as "traditionally" elegant as eagles or hawks or other more "iconic" birds of prey, but they're very important to the ecosystem in disposing of decaying carcasses and are fascinating creatures in their own right. Especially California condors, they're downright majestic.
Vultures are super cool! I was just admiring their wingspan in a video, which was what brought me to making that post to begin with.
Because my first thought was: beautiful!
And my second thought was: wait… is it?
The second thought was that little seed of doubt that was put in place by other people’s opinions, and not correct for me. I’ve heard so many people say how disgusting they are, and like?? I didn’t even live where there’s a lot of vultures. Why are you hating on something you don’t even see or interact with, to begin with?? And the sad thing is, there is just a general hatred of things that aren’t aesthetically pleasing, and society is horribly comfortable in hating anything that’s not ‘beautiful.’
“If it is not pretty and pleasing to me, then I am just and correct to hate this thing.”
Which is just ridiculous because obviously not everyone has the same idea of what is beautiful, and they certainly do not hold the same value of beauty.
Vultures are cool af. Some are beautiful to people. Some love and value them because of their other attributes (like being a hugely important part of the ecosystem) Part of existing in a world with so many different people with different likes and interests is being considerate enough to accept that others will like something you dislike, and being thoughtful enough to let that exist without pushing your opinion on others.

Two different spiders and a black widow molt under the microscope!
TW: These spiders ARE dead sadly…
The false widow passed away from natural causes a few days ago, and sadly the black widow perished today…
May they both rest in peace in the big spiderweb in the sky💖
But on a more positive note, here are some cool closeup images through a microscope!
You can see their little hairs and eyes really well! Also their chelicerae and pedipalps! Super cool!
The first batch here is the False Widow:
Dorsal and Ventral sides:

Anterior view for a closer look at her eyes and pedipalps:

Posterior ventral view for closer look at her spinnerets:

Next we have the juvenile female Black widow:
her color pattern is very fascinating with the way it is not all one solid color, but the individual sections of pigment are visible, as well as the banding on her leg joints:

Dorsal anterior view for a closer look at her eyes:

Ventral side, pedipalps and spinnerets:

Itty bitty gripper on her back leg 🥺:

BUT THA'S NOT ALL!
I also have some pictures of Petunia’s molt!!! (petunia is a sub-adult Black Widow female I have! She is alive and well, here is her exoskeleton from her previous molt!):
Tumblr media
This image is cool because you can see her old chelicerae! Ventral anterior view:

Dorsal anterior View:

Shriveled thin exoskeleton of her abdomen and her upper cephalothorax. Dorsal posterior view at a bit of a 45 degree angle: you can sorta see her little eye holes and stuff!

Part of one of her back legs, her very fine sensory hairs:
