I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

My problem? Too many people believe in me.
How can I be the hero of my own story when all the supporting characters are like, "Yeah, we knew you'd do it." What the hell sort of motivator is that?
Tell me I'm attempting the impossible. Tell me I'm foolish. LET ME PROVE YOU WRONG GODDAMMIT

It’s more than a metre long and can expel glowing yellow ooze from its anus. Doesn’t that sound like Bug of the Year material to you? 🧪 #votelength #bugoftheyear

Did you know that Ukraine operates one of the world’s most renowned Antarctic research stations, specializing in ozone and meteorological research?
On this day in 1996, the UK transferred the base to Ukraine for just 1 pound.

Yesterday was the midway point between the winter solstice & the vernal equinox & today is Imbolc, the pagan celebration of the return of the light. We’re climbing out of winter & the whole botanical calendar (save snowdrops & aconites) is ahead. A very good thought in case you need it today 🌿:

Bad weather has delayed my kayak/ hike in Abel Tasman so I have to spend a day reading and drinking tea on the veranda. Shucks.
