An ultraviolet caterpillar who uses this account mainly to talk about (complain about) depression and post poetry. I have few (no) outlets for this. Banner is the Andromeda galaxy in UV light and pfp is a caterpillar fluorescing green under UV light.

A mutual blocked me because I responded to his soft serve ice cream photo reply on my post by calling it fake ice cream. I know I was a little rude to a few people last night but dang, okay, I got blocked over it.

"Just reach out!" I'd be bothering people almost every day if I "reached out" every time I fell into a depression spiral. So no lol.

"Life is 90% doing things you don't like." "It's all downhill from here." Then what is the point. Seriously. Just why.

Sometimes when I want to post something extremely self-deprecating and self-pitying I disable replies only to ensure it doesn't appear attention or validation-seeking. Like this time. "Oh Luna, you're not a loser. 🥺" Shut up. Yes I am.

Imagine being a loser no-worth idiot loner throughout your teens and 20s and now you're almost 43 and have nothing to look forward to but slow decline, loss and decay. IMAGINE. Hypothetically.

Good news #invert story of the week 🦋 After a catastrophic decline in numbers over recent years that placed Australia’s iconic Bogong moth on the IUCN Red List, their numbers have really surged this year! #mothsmatter #ausinverts #wildoz #Lepidoptera #inaturalist www.smh.com.au/environment/...

After a catastrophic decline bogong moths are back, and naturalists are celebrating
Bogong moths numbers have surged after years of decline, flying evidence of an ancient transfer of vital nutrients from lowlands to the fragile high country.

If you want your post to be a Luna Magnet, mention ice cream, write a haiku (I will be compelled against my will to write a response haiku) or post some moths or caterpillars.

I did this. On purpose. Ok so I’ve never worked with stained glass before and had to watch a ton of tutorials on how to solder, but I think it’s pretty good for a first try, and I may suddenly have a new crafting obsession. Plus it matches my tattoo 😂

Possibly why we often have a hard time remembering and focusing? I'm saying "we" because if we're mutuals, you more than likely also have depression. share.google/lc5JLx4qdo58...

I've been a bit scarce here (for me). Overwhelmed and I hate my job. Worrying and getting worked up over absolutely every minor thing - even the good things. Hating myself - you know, the usual. But here's a cool Moon photo. A cosmic eye gazing at you through clouds of nebulae and dwarf galaxies.

My body rooted to the earth while My mind drifts through space What I search for can't exist in this place A sensitivity that wouldn't thrive In a world of cruelty An intuition that wouldn't survive Prosaic, earthly apathy A mind that thinks so differently- You must be from someplace else entirely.
