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.

I think of owls as air cats the way seals are water cats.

Let me know if you need more. I'm always running out but I don't mind sharing it with good friends.

Oh yeah, I don't follow the traditional rules. Haiku are supposed to reference nature in general too but mine don't always. I just follow the syllable rules.

It's nice when someone remembers small details about you.

It was popular in courtly medieval Japan. I started it out as a haiku until I realized it would be too long so it became a tanka lol.

Whaaaat. Not TMI but I haven't had either (colonoscopy recommended at 45 I think. But I was supposed to have other tests done after 40 that I never did because I'm lazy.) And I've heard of frozen shoulder but no idea what that is or what it's like. The name alone makes it sound awful though.

A planet-sized web Electromagnetic waves Encoding my thoughts. Signals glittering faintly In the radio spectrum. It's a tanka - not a haiku.

Only two (or so) years older than I am so don't describe yourself as reaaally old! 😢 Yeah I don't perceive other people in their 40s as old. For some reason I just feel personally weird about it for a number of reasons.

I'll be 43 in two months so I'm requesting that at least one person tell me that that's not THAT old. Thank you.

I told a professional linguist on here he should watch a PBS documentary about the invention of the phonetic alphabet. I wanted to delete the reply after the fact but he had already hit like on it lol.

It's really just an endless dark spiral into nowhere. I need to pull myself out of them (somehow) and try to keep from dragging someone else down there with me, but it's happened.

I'm a small stone inside my brain - rolling through spiralling labyrinths and dark corridors. I have no control over it. My mind takes me where it will despite my protests. Despite my despair. Save me from my own mind.

I almost always think of that lyric when I'm bored. And yay, I hoped you'd get the reference!

If you are able to see this film it's important. NAZA, a documentary created by Israeli whistleblowers exposes how Netanyahu & the IDF relied on ruthless AI targeting systems, that created "kill lists" to eliminate Palestinians. Netanyahu is trying to revoke citizenship of the Israeli filmmakers

People say the dumbest things when "making conversation." I can never tolerate it. Yeah I know it's "making conversation" but it's so often inane at best or even offensive at worst.

Sounds like they ruled out anything urgent so that's good news. I understand though - I freak out if anything might be wrong with one of my cats. Thinking of you both. 💜

🫂💜 That's very sweet. I feel bad burdening people with overflow sads but it feels less like I'm burdening people when it's a post people can choose whether or not to interact with.

Oh no! I just came back from my (embarrassingly short) break and saw this. Keep us updated on your kitty. 💔 I'd say a prayer to Bastet if I believed in deities.

I've also been in a depression pit and I COULDN'T SAD-POST. How am I supposed to function without externalizing my depression into Bluesky posts?

Luna the UV Caterpillar 🐛💜 @mothcaterpillar.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Well. I can't stay away from Bluesky for more than two days apparently. That's embarrassing. Also pathetic. Oh well.

No, I don't think anyone would go into a panic or anything but I do hope I can manage to stay away for three or even more days. We shall see. And it's incredibly annoying how deactivating deletes all of your posts and comments, so potentially someone could see that and assume I'm gone forever.

This meme seems to be making the rounds with my mutuals and I don't get it, because of my mutuals, I probably need to be the one to repost it the most.
