Ok so when cooking, you have a covered pot, and it’s time to open the pot… what do YOU do with the hot, dripping, possibly food covered lid?

Some days you take pictures of the spooky black-on-black shape with glowing eyes in the darkness and sometimes you *are* the shape in the darkness

Can’t help wondering how the beaver felt about this

You do all that hard work with your TEETH and then somebody comes in like “ok but check it out VRRRRRRRR *crash*”

My “favorite” thing about this is how it initially goes with a metaphorical take where woims is a colloquialism for any barter or perhaps “exposure” based economy, but then quickly decides that actually, woims is woims

Bear! The stream gully has bear friend! I hope they will not really be my friend. Befriending humans is bad if you are a bear.

Recent collapse, seems like… check out those concentric circles in the mud. Fallen tree of yore, maybe?

#invert if you see this and you don’t wanna see a bug, maybe do something about it?

Watching some microcosmos (“catching up” is a lost cause at this point) and the second Hank says “polka-dotted vacuum cleaner” I yelled “Aeolosoma!” Feel like anybody who’s met one of these would immediately recognize them from that description lmao

Sometimes looking at bugs and moss and stuff is billed as an activity “for kids” (only) and I think that’s a problem. Childhood is where nature appreciation should BEGIN, not where it should END.

I wish bsky’s mobile web interface didn’t freeze if I looo at it funny.

There’s a farm stand near the vet so I stopped by before picking G up from her dental surgery (which went well!) and now I have a pile of winter squash that were 5 for $5. Tonight I’m trying out whole roasting. I was too much of a wimp to put them in without poking them with a knife a few times tho.

Getting closer to what I think is one of my two least favorite WA months/mini-seasons: The Time When It’s Actually Legitimately Cold. My other unfavorite moves around, and is The Time When It’s Hot And Dry And Things Are On Fire.

I still exist. I still don’t know how I could ever really use this site since everything is public and I don’t like to … visibly exist, because I was raised cryptid

I accidentally got this one in 2 and it almost scared me when the win notice popped up, I wasn’t expecting it so much 😅
Wow! I guess I didn't peak early two days ago when I got it in 6.

Also my feed keeps showing me personal interactions of people I’m following bc I stan their nature stuff, who have literally never met me, and it makes me feel so weird and parasocial lmao
August 21, 2023 at 11:23 PM
So it kinda seems like on here rfn you can p much have one account all public and I don’t see a good way to separate my personal social group from other stuff and idk if there’s any keyword muting and in conclusion would my peeps have problems if I posted bugs and stuff hashtagged invert?

It’s that time of summer when there’s still no noticeable hint of autumn and yet autumn’s presence begins to whisper underneath everything. The leaves breathe a promise of turning.

Today it RAINED. It was the BEST. Also it was NOT BROILING OUT.

Somebody else better be up before 6am for pretty sunrise and take a picture so I don’t have to

On that other site I count on the NWS account for this difficult task
