Pollinators! Did you know that in addition to flying insects like butterflies and bees, some vertebrates act as pollinators, like some species of bats and lizards? If you want, you can be a pollinator. Just transfer pollen between two compatible plants, and you’ve done it!

    It is such a weird feeling to have had someone you were like two halves of a whole with and then go back to being single. Particularly in that very delicate, growing up time between like 18 to 30. So much of me was part of someone else, and visa versa. I wonder if 7 of 9 felt like this when she was cut off from the hive mind lol

      there’s a thing I don’t know the name of but when you are with someone a lot like for years you each start to offload memory functions onto the other automatically. It was over a decade ago that i read about this but it was studied with widows iirc and basically they all felt like a portion of their mind was missing because they had gotten so used to offloading certain specific tasks to their partner.

      Like not bothering to know certain things because they knew with 100% certainty the other partner knew them.

      I’m sorry to hear you’re having to go through any such loss.
