“It’s too late to be drawing... how many stripes do Spidey’s left elbow have?”

Ted the Animator: “Um… same as his right?”

Carl the Animator: “Yeah, but, like… is it all blue on the front?”

Ted the Animator: “I don’t remember, just check the–”

Carl the Animator: “Or is there a blue stripe on either side?”

Ted the Animator: “Uhhhh… that feels right to me.”

Carl the Animator: “…orrr, are there no stripes?”

Ted the Animator: “…”

Carl the Animator: “…ehhhh, I’ll hedge my bets use only one for a frame.”

Ted the Animator: “…wait, are these all live frames?”

Carl the Animator: “Yeah. Best way to learn is by doing, or… something like that.”

Ted the Animator: “…I don’t think that practice applies to elbows, Carl.”

Saving this for later.

Dogs loves the beach

I would like to paraphrase a quote said by me when I was 10. It was originally about English grammar but I think it can apply to a lot of things.

"This is only the way it is because enough people say so. So if we got enough people to agree to do something else then that is what would happen."

I don't have a specific point in this atm. I just feel frustrated right now and I like to remind myself that most of the problems in my life rn only exist because not enough people have decided to put a stop to it.

I would like to propose an experiment.

Now forgive me if such a thing already exists or is ongoing but I am typing this while at work and don't have time to research.

So take a big patch of land and put a tree farm on it. Mostly fill it up with a fast growing tree species (perhaps a fast growing species of pine) but also evenly space a second species of much larger but slower growing tree. Then periodically harvest and replant the faster trees while leaving the slower trees alone.

Also cut the farm in half. On one half do a seasonal burn of the lower brush and on the other half don't.

The goal of this experiment would be to see how the size of the larger trees impacts the growth of the smaller trees and other biotic and abiotic factors.

Will they help them grow faster?

Will they make them grow more slowly?

How will the bigger trees impact the soil?

How will the smaller trees impact the soil?

What kinds of fauna will this benefit?

What kinds of fauna will this harm?

Will this help or harm the ecosystem in and around the tree farm?

How does the fire impact the soil?

How does the fire impact the trees?

How does the fire impact the fauna?

How does the fire affect the nutrient cycle?

How do the big trees impact the nutrient cycle?

How do the small trees impact the nutrient cycle?

Ask someone who studied fungi to tell you what the hell they are doing.

Will this encourage or discourage biodiversity?

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

It's my 3 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Huh. Another mile stone. Weird.

together forever :)

what if we were little bugs holding hands encased in amber forever and ever :))))
