@moonthemagical look it's bees
Okay, entomology brain is annoyed by a Tumblr ad
Specifically, this one. First, Albert Einstein never said that.
Secondly, and more importantly, that is NOT a honey bee, or even a bee at all. That is a bee fly, a very important, very cute pollinator. However! They have parasitoid larvae! This means that they lay their eggs in the larvae of other bugs. Those eggs hatch, and those larvae eat the bug they’re in from the inside out. Sounds horrible, but it’s the way of things and I cannot understate how important these guys are.
The reason I’m annoyed about the picture of choice isn’t even that they didn’t picture a bee (not even in the right order- bees are hymenopterans. Flies are diptera.) What’s really grinding my absolute gears about the choice here? Bee flies parasitize bee larva.
If you’re going to use the wrong picture, at least don’t use the picture of something that actively kills what you’re trying to protect instead of the animal you’re protecting.
Also, honeybees, Apis mellifera, don’t need protection. They’re fine. They’re invasive in North America, even. Humans take care of them just fine. I’m a beekeeper, and I love them, but that’s not where our efforts should be. We should be trying to protect native bees, there are a whole bunch that I bet you’ve never heard of that need help.
Anyway, rant over. Sorry, I just could not let that one go.
Do you have a song that makes you so emotional whenever you listen to it? For me, the song is Hope It Hurts by DABIN featuring Essenger, it makes me cry and get emotional every time!
(here's a sneaky sneaky link so you can listen for yourself and tell me what you think)
If you have a song that makes you sad emotional, happy emotional, or any other type of emotional whenever you listen to it, drop it in the tags below or reblog with a link and a reason why! (but you don't have to)
(yes this is now a tag game tag people yes yes yes)
I mean, you gotta start somewhere...
You youngsters have it easy, with your good 3d models and hot voices for the ink demons. Only the '17 kids remember when the Ink Demon used to look like THIS:
here's a random word generator--whatever word it gives you is now the thing you are the deity of
Yeah that "WHEEEEEEE!!!!!!" during a scene caught everyone off guard lol
There were no sound mistakes (ok that's a lie there was a really small one but no one noticed) and only a few lighting mistakes but whatever. At least no one noticed that much.
Also, the actors included some funny off-script lines for this last show, so me and the lights designer had to keep ourselves from laughing while doing transitions.
If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading
Just watched West Side Story (2021) and my favourite songs so far are, in order:
'Gee, Officer Krupke'
'America'
and 'Tonight Quintet'
I might make a few posts throughout the week expressing my love to these songs. You have been warned.
Send to 10 other bloggers you think are wonderful. Keep this going to make someone smile. ☆♥

This Tumblr account is for random reblogs, theatre stuff, and my All For The Game hyperfixation. (and other silly queer things) Enjoy!
