2.fun fact this bat isnt being eaten; like, its roosting there for the night. this is Nepenthes hemsleyana, a pitcher plant species in a mutualistic relationship with the local tiny bat friends Kerivoula hardwickii (Hardwicke’s woolly bat)!! it works like this:

- the pitchers are shaped to make a special distinctive reflection of the bat’s echolocation. so like, the bats can hear where the pitchers are and go to them for roosting. 

-the bats enter the pitchers and sit on this special rim inside that holds them above the water line so they dont get eaten on accident. 

-up to two teeny bat friends can fit in an average pitcher at a time lmao

-the bat friends poop when they sleep and the plant eats the poop when it falls into the digestive fluid

-bat friends get a safe place to sleep, pitcher plants get food! 

IM SORRY FOR REBLOGGING THIS TWICE IN ONE DAY BUT I WAS READING THE STUDY AND IT GOT BETTER

it's like, definitely still mansplaining if the man is dominating the conversation unintentionally and he would totally stop if you asked him to, actually. like, the term exists to describe a phenomenon that arises from the implicit bias that women are expected to simply be less knowledgeable about things. it doesn't matter if he's doing it on purpose or not. he does it cause he expects women to not know things or to not have any input. maybe don't fucking expect women to stand up for themselves every single time they have to have a conversation with a man because that shit happens like daily for a lot of women

genuinely, sincerely, if you are a man you need to learn to shut up when you're talking to women

its just one of those days

Pyrops heringi!!!!! I don't have any facts to share about them, but just look at how cool they are!!!

ENDING MY NEGATIVE SELF TALK:

I can't sing -> I have the interesting vocal qualities of Bob Dylan

Everybody hates how weird I am - My aloof and unconventional demeanor is Dylanesque

I'm short -> I am the same height as Bob Dylan

I dress inadequately for the seasons -> I am mastering my Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Strut

Everybody boos my guitar playing -> I am finding my footing in the world of "Going Electric"
