Howdy! I'm Heather from Texas (she/they). I am a Ph.D. candidate. I am currently writing my dissertation on disability studies in education and working part-time for the university. I have two young adult daughters, a Great Pyrenees, a shorthair tabby cat with socks and mittens, and a kitten! I dream about living in a place with robust public transportation. I like to follow people who post about #scifi #fantasy #art #politics #books #disability #education #TV #movies #games

Sometimes over on formiculture, the premiere ant-keeping discussion forum, parents show up and post because their kid is keeping ants and Something Has Gone Wrong. These are some of the most cryptic and unintentionally hilarious posts on the site.

Title: Random shoots from ant sandwich?
Post: "My son bought an ant farm. It contained a box a tube and a sandwich. He started with lasius Niger ants these died. We bought some fire ants. Now there are shots."

I have SO MANY questions. 1/

Another all too barren spring in NYC. There should be so many insects, so many ants, so many tiny creatures filling the parks, hitting the windshields of cars.

Remember when bugs used to hit the windshields of cars because the air was so full of life?

I guess most people think this is 'improvement' but they are wrong. There is a campaign to put the American bumblebee on the endangered species list!

We are living in an eerie lifeless netherworld and I don't know why more can't see it!

I was thinking recently about how our car would be covered with lovebugs at certain times every year when I was growing up, but I can't remember the last time I saw one. Even mosquitoes, which I don't love, used to swarm our yards every summer. Now I might see a couple a year. It seems like life is just disappearing in front of our eyes.
