After Some Observation, This Is How The Farm Arrays Machinery Must've Worked

Eyy Pacific Northwest girlies out here ❤️

Aw yeh, look at us! Spooky swamp creatures who haunt the Cascades and Evergreens while wearing ridiculous chunky sweaters. When the terms crunchy and granola were coined they were thinking of us. We are American banshees who just happen to suffer from seasonal affect disorder and the inability to actually confront anyone. We're so sick. Bigfoot's real.

It's dangerous to go alone, take this

I am begging the media to stop making harmless bugs out to be terrifying monsters in their headlines. I’ve seen Joro spiders all over the news lately with these super scary-sounding headlines. Sometimes the truth is buried somewhere in the article, but how many people just read a headline and move on?

So let’s get a few things straight…

1. Parachuting or ballooning is a common method of dispersal used by countless species of spiders, primarily when they are spiderlings and very VERY tiny. They’re not flying, they’re sending out a little parachute of silk that gets caught in the wind. This is, among other things, a way to avoid competing with their siblings for resources. Adults don’t do it, so there will not be giant spiders flying through the sky and landing on your head.

2. Joro spiders are non-native, but so far scientists have no proof of detrimental effects to our native ecosystems. Given the scope of their spread so far, it’s likely they’ll become naturalized and be a new fixture in the US.

3. They aren’t “invading.” They were brought here in 2013 from their native habitat in Asia by human activity, and now they’re thriving because our climate is perfect for them.

4. Joro spiders are not dangerous. Bites may be painful, but their venom is not medically significant, meaning even if you were bitten (unlikely), you would most likely not need medical attention unless you developed an infection. 

5. They can get rather big, but we have several native species of spider that are just as large.

6. Joro spiders are orbweavers and prefer weaving their large webs between trees or other vegetation to catch flying prey. They have no reason to come into your house, although they may make webs on or near your home.

Anyway Joro spiders are beautiful let’s admire one

the dubious philosophy of salmon

The 20 year old accidentally bonsai'd apricot tree that I finally planted in the ground has truly established himself and has chosen a branch with which he will form his main trunk. He's putting all his energy into this one branch and it's making dozens of tiny offshoot branches and it is rapidly growing taller

If old elongated muskrat isn’t lying then listen up twitter users who might have fled here heres some advice:

Reblog shit, if you think somethings funny reblog it, if you think its informative reblog it, whatever it is if you even slightly like it reblog it. If it doesn’t go with your “theme” then make a second account and reblog it from there. Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm what you see comes from people you follow reblogging shit or going through tags you like, mobile users can hold the reblog button and drag it to the account they want to reblog it from. What about likes you may ask? They do absolutely nothing other than show you liked what they posted, this isnt instagram guys please reblog

TAG YOUR STUFF!! Putting a TW// at the top of your post doesn’t actually block it for people, you HAVE to tag it appropriately for sensitive and/or triggering topics or things that can cause literal seizures, common courtesy gang

For the love of god put an icon and header on your account, maybe even a funny line for your title and description because otherwise everyone and their mother is going to assume that you’re a bot and block you

This isnt the place to be an influencer or to gain “clout”, no one gives a fuck about your thirst trap pics or how you have a bunch of fancy cars like they would on instagram or twitter, you either shitpost or you die (obviously dont have to just shit post but you get what i mean)

Dont bring your drama from twitter here no one wants that and we’ve been doing fine without it thank you

I think thats it but feel free to add onto this!
