Thank you for giving her a hide. It makes me irritated that so many people don't give their spiders a place to hide. Even huge tarantulas don't like sitting out in the open, it stresses them out. I get that people want to be able to see their pets all the time, but you need to put the well being of the animal ahead of your desires.

A hide is one of the basic things you need for spiders, wtf. That was actually the hide she already had when she was given to me, nothing fancy but it's hers.

She's my first tarantula and I am blessed to have her in my life.

Its easier these days to get your creative works out there and gather even a small audience. I'm not saying it's *easy* per se, but there are more tools and places where you can showcase it, as opposed to jumping from publisher to publisher hoping that you'll get 1) picked up, and 2) earn some revenue out of it

Close enough to feel achievable, but far enough to make it a challenge. Just thinking about it makes me wanna work on my stuff some more!

Thinking about the technological, scientific and mathematical achievements of mankind lightens my day. Just imagine, we have a physical model (the standard model) that explains reality to a level of detail, precision and abstraction beyond the wildest dreams of ancient philosophers; we can observe and piece together the past of our Universe; we know how stars work, age and die despite their lifespan being longer than our whole species existence; we can reliably and at a cheap price manufacture sextillions of transistors so small it's literally impossible to see them with visible light; we have created unnatural elements that exist for a blink of an eye and we have cooled matter to temperatures orders of magnitude below any other part of the Universe. It's awesome to think we live at a moment when we have, by far, the most knowledge in all of history.

- Being able to watch a sunset from beginning to end
- Listening to the crickets, treefrogs, and cicadas through the night after that
- Watching squirrels go about their day
- Seeing baby raccoons on the porch
- Petting and talking to my cat

It really is the little things that bring the greatest joy.

this website sucks and won't let me rate you deviant i.e. hitting you with a rolled up newspaper
anyway here's mine:
most of the freaks on the internet stay on there for a reason. you need to be extra delusional to be as much of a shithead irl as you are online, but also the decent people don't need to be on the internet all the time and are out there doing things in the world. i guess this is just a verbose way of saying touch grass

Late but I'll do it for you <3

Anyways, going outside into nature, as well as classic sci-fi.

Seeing that "spark" when a kid learns something, and it suddenly makes sense to them.

Seeing my succulents root and grow into full plants, when though I got them as leaves off of the ground.

Feeling my cat cuddling up against me for bed at night. There's a few minutes after that where he gets under the blankets, licks my hand, but then he lets out a deeper breath, and he's asleep.
