Yesterday I joined a protest in #StLouis about #WhitePhosphorous. A chemical weapon, which kills and maims by chemical burn. White Phosphorous is produced by #Monsanto (headquartered here in STL), sold to #ICL (which also operates out of STL), and then sold by ICL to several militaries, including the US and IDF.

In many ways it can feel like these wars are solely the decisions of far away politicians, happening in far away places, to far away people. But the machine is also here at home.

What's the best #documentary to watch about #ants? I am suddenly curious. I'm sure this has nothing to do with @futurebird's constant antposting.

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/

@futurebird Well that's just foolish. A formicarium is encased on all sides. Therefore, it's more accurately a burrito.

Did you know you can put a leash on an ant in "Minecraft Create" and lead it over to a train you designed yourself, then give the ant a train schedule and it will drive around and pick things up and drop them off?

I feel like this mod is stalking me and trying to eat my free time.
