My Favorite Thing About Tma Has Always Been The Avatars Who Love The Fears They Serve, Who Show That

i too am an outlier in this statistic, throwback to that time in 2019 when i drank out of an unsealed water bottle i’d left at my dads house over the week that summer (half renovated barn in australia with no insulation from the outdoors)

didn’t realise a spider had laid her egg sac in the internal straw section til i felt a filmy sac pop inside my mouth 0-0 suffice to say that a wave of baby spiderlings pouring down the back of your throat and out of your open mouth is about as traumatic as it sounds.

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

My day was made today by finding this rare gorgeous lad spooding around in some leaf litter and oak shoots. He's habronattus alachua - I've only seen 4 adults and I love them. Sweet little fancy lumps. Enjoy. 🥹
