I’d add a note that it is perfectly fine to buy the flytraps in little pots with plastic lids sold in places like Home Depot. Those are propagated via tissue culture and are great for learning to cultivate carnivorous plants.

And if you see a poacher, aim your kick a little higher than the shins.

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

There are no carnivorous plants big enough to eat you, and there’s a good reason for that. Check out this piece I wrote for Smithsonian Magazine to learn why. 🌱

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

Every local police force is going to endure all manner of hazing and abuse from ICE and every state and local leader will hem and haw about it but will ultimately capitulate and assist and you need to understand this.

Me loggging on to bsky to post through it like-

Overall yeah. Their humans are better off than the average Imperium human, which (imo) makes them less likely to get corrupted than the average human in the empire (why worship nurgle if you have good healthcare for example) that's only *less* likely, not *un*likely.

I don't think geologists have ignored catastrophic events for at least 70 years, one again creationists fail to open a textbook that was published later than the Nixon administration

That high standard of living likely reduces the corruptibility of the general populace, and the Tau have naturally small souls they are much less likely to fall to chaos.

That's basically my read on them. They've got this authoritarian caste structure and the guys at the top might be mind controlling their own species but the average standard of living within their empire is high, even for the lower classes and certainly better than most of the imperium

STAHP. GO AWAY.

Famously, not paying the military has never caused negative consequences for regimes

ABSURDISM AS PRAXIS

good

Non-ironically my favorite genre of writing these days is a syntactically awkward student paper that is nevertheless brimming with ideas they’re trying on

Sorry I don't have much sympathy for a guy who manipulated his fans into letting him assault their toddlers.

Oh dear, so sad

The Tau are basically Star Trek season 1 villains (that will be Federation allies by Season 3), who got isekaied into WH40k and are slowly coming to terms with this fact

Tau intel ops getting dominated by weirdo tau cranks after they discover all this chaos demon shit isnt just some imperial cult but no theres actual demons
