To all of my california friends who can’t miss fireflies because they haven’t ever seen them.

^ what? do they not have fireflies in CA??????????

Nope! They don’t really live west of the rockies.  The first time I saw them in Ohio, I thought I was hallucinating.

The fireflies were the most fantastic part of my first visit to America. I was with my BF and my roller derby team and we were in one of those yellow schooll buses being taken back from the tournament venue. I spotted some lights in the bushes and pointed it out… then we all lost our minds!!! As it got darker we saw there were SO MANY! Our American hosts couldn’t believe how crazy we were for them… but there is nothing even remotely like this in Scotland, it was like being in a fantasy movie or something. I’ll never forget them.

I love them so much! They come out part-way through my Speculative Fiction Writing Workshop (now taking applications! Pat Cadigan returns as special guest author this year!) each year, and it’s such a joy to introduce these little delights to people from parts of the world where they can’t see them.

PS: In Minnesota, we called them “lightning bugs.”

We had them in Norfolk, Virginia when I was a kid. Same time of year as the junebugs, but those are in the daytime.

Ok but imagine being an Irish immigrant coming to America for the first time having never heard of them and just…nope nope nope Don’t Go In Those Fields The Fairies Fucking Followed US I Thought We Would Be Free Of This Nonsense

This is probably the best ukulele playing I’ve ever seen.

It’s always wild when people are amazed by proper Ukulele playing because what they consider “good” is whatever mainlanders are attempting to play while asserting some “quirky” vibe. Ukulele has become trendy on the mainland and people are amazed by what we consider BASIC skills and boring same chord repetition over and over. PLUS malihini don’t even pronounce the name right (what the fuck is a yuu-kuu-lay-lee hahaha).

Here in Hawaiʻi we are busting it out (like these killer wahines) every day in ways you can’t even imagine. Half my nā hoahānau play like this!

We stay laughing. These wahines choke deadly.

This must be what surf rock guitarists were trying to emulate in the 60’s. It’s so fucking good.

WATCH: The Oregon Zoo in Portland was closed to the public today due to heavy snow – but the zoo’s residents had a blast.

Oh my GODD THE POLAR BEAR GOT SOME SNOW HE MUST FEEL SO REFRESHED

relatable seals at the end there

“Hey Joe! Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe look!!! It’s snow!”

I need more of this shit!

Those happy elephant sounds cleared my skin and watered my crops.
