i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)
Sometimes, people are really great.
This is also an example of picking One Thing and putting most of your Better The World efforts there. We have so many different important issues to care about and act toward, and it’s tempting to try and do a Little for Many Things - and I’m not saying that little bits of effort don’t add up! They do. But often you’ll make a bigger impact (and possibly have less compassion/activist fatigue) if you direct the majority of your efforts toward one or two things.
Firefox does a ton of cool shit but just out of the box, fresh install it does less tracking and dataharvesting than Chrome (in that it does essentially none while chrome’s goal is to crawl all the way into your asshole and monetize the data of the unique features of your intestinal lining) and does not contribute to the chromium near-monopoly (Firefox and Safari are the only non-chromium browsers with any notable market share).
Also you know how Adobe fucking sucks and is really annoying and it’s frustrating to have to use their PDF reader? Firefox now comes with a built-in PDF reader AND editor. Check this shit out:

Firefox also has a feature called Multi Account Containers that allows you to log in to accounts in different containers so that you don’t have to open up an incognito window or log out of various services to use a different account. For instance, I have my Work container and my School container and I can log in to office 365 in either one of them without having to log out of the other, or I can have seven tabs logged in to seven different tumblr accounts (not sideblogs, separate accounts) in the same window if I want to do that for any reason.
when you see your little kitty walking toward you at a leisurely pace and say “hi baby!” bc you’re excited to see her and she starts trotting a little bit faster ‘cause she’s excited to see you too. that’s what life is all about i think
But what about how she says “mrrrow” just as she starts her lil trot?
sorry i saw your boyfriend out on the counter so i put him in the fridge for you. no yeah he’s fine i just didn’t want him going bad. yeah he’ll reheat fine in the microwave.
one of my fave things ever is when i listen to a song that i havent listened to in soo long and that i had basically forgotten it even existed and it gives me this absolutely random memory of me listening to it in a certain place feeling a certain emotion and suddenly im recalling 25356 different memories of my life during that period and it feels so surreal and so nostalgic and just. oh i love how a simple song can provoke such a special feeling
