Good morning, for no particular reason please enjoy this utterfuckingly delightful moth.

I made up a common name cos I couldn't find one in English. Tho it can be harder to find info when there's multiple Latin names going on.

(Synonyms: because taxonomy can always hurt you more.)
A colour pencil drawing of a very pink moth, shown from the top twice - with wings open and then closed - and once from the side. It has a chonky trianglular shape, a very fluffy body, thin little legs and thin wirey antennas. It's labelled 'pink skullcap moth, Philareta treitschkei, syn Pyrrhia treitschkei.

Some behind the scenes/business-yap:

I get messages every once in awhile being suspect of our pricing scheme. "You can get everything for $15 but also there are single packs listed as $18?"

I totally get it, but it really is just a good deal. No tricks!

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor.

He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down.

The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him.

This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

While seeing the cancellations on the Patron gives me an unnerving level of anxiety 💀 I'm excited to see our own site become the proper host for everything! Some people on the Patreon didn't even know Trueref.io existed. lol

my husband just sent me this
tumblr user nitewrighter says: Me: I don’t get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I’m like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it’s the fascism. You’re completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you’re also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you’re going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

It is Ramadan now and Israel is no longer allowing aid into Gaza, meaning it will be difficult for Palestinians to break their fast each evening. Will you help my friend and brother as he struggles to keep his family alive?

Primary is of the few companies going out of their way to make kids clothes that are truly gender neutral. They often have genderfluid modeling, along with going out of their way to have Black and disabled models. They launched an adult collection today and I thought some might be interested ☺️
Shop All Adult
Welcome to Primary. No labels, no slogans. Just soft, simpler clothes that kids and babies will love. Shop gender neutral, sustainable basics for the whole family.
