You know how people buy boxes of ladybugs to release in their yard to get rid of aphids
Picture this: slew of missing people from all over the world, just vanishing in small groups. Serial killer ring, some say. Some kind of widespread natural disaster, say others. The statisticians shrug and point out that people go missing all the time and one expects peaks and troughs in random data. Sometimes a lot of people are going to go missing and it doesn't necessarily mean anything weird.
Everyone turns out to be wrong. It's alien abductions. Aliens are coming to Earth, pinking up random groups of humans and not bringing them back.
Turns out aliens are trying to settle a new planet and there's a problem with a bunch of prey animals breeding out of control and upsetting the ecosystem. They can't wipe them out wide scale without destroying complex environments, and the predators aren't keeping on top of them. "Hey," says some random bureaucrat who's had Project: Deal With The Alien Deer Issue dumped on their desk and hasn't taken an ecology class in four decades, "you know what species I hear are really, really good at clearing other animals out of the environment?"

Incidentally, blossom end rot on tomatoes is usually caused by a calcium deficiency. You wanna know what a great source of calcium is?
Bone meal. Throw some of that stuff in the planting hole.
Ground up eggshells work too but bone meal is less work tbh. I just chuck the eggshells in the compost rather than trying to grind them up to make them easier for the tomatoes to munch on.
Oh but protip; if you're using blood or bone meal, that stuff APPARENTLY smells delicious to, say, cats or dogs. If you set the bag on the table while you go to find your shoes, it is entirely possible that the cats will knock the bag over onto the floor and your dog will rip it open because she thinks there's a tasty bone to chew on hidden in there.
Then you have to sweep a huge mess up and dump it in a ziploc freezer bag to take out to use on the garden. Ask me how I know this.

Mariana Kingfisher, or Sihek. As a tree kingfisher, these guys live in the forest and eat lizards and small birds instead of fish. Their Chamorro name derives from the harsh squeaky sounds they make, which always make me think of a rubber duck crossed with a rusty hinge.

Don't worry, this is only moments before Geralt busts in to kick some ass! And then he nurses Jaskier back to health and everything is fine and nothing hurts 🥲
