Hello-i-am-insane - Slightly Dying

Happy #Nudivember!

Sea slugs aren’t your garden-variety slug. They come in a wide array of bright colors and psychedelic patterns. Many have gills that stick up from their backs like clumps of water balloons, shag carpets, or Mohawk hair-dos.

Nudibranchs live in virtually all the world’s oceans, from the tide pools down into the deep sea. Like many other deep-sea animals, the nudibranchs of the deep are poorly studied. Though scientists have named about 3,000 shallow-water nudibranchs, until recently, only three deep-water species were known in the entire Northeast Pacific.

I want a GIRLFRIEND to go GHOST HUNTING with

I just want to say though,

For all of you stuck in quarantine, and are having a hard time with it.

Promise you will never tell a disabled person “at least you don’t have to work” “I wish I could stay home at sit on my ass all day” or “your just dolebludgers that sit at home being lazy” ever again, when disabled people say they have to stay home and rest.

Being housebound SUCKS!

Sure, work also sucks but at least you get to socialize, do different things, and feel productive. (And you’re likely not SICK. Unless your in the US because WTF???)

I waste away at home almost constantly. I’ve seen every movie I own at least 20 times. The novelty wears off REALLY QUICKLY when your alone. The bordem and isolation, they send you batshit crazy. It’s awful. Plus, again, I’m incredibly sick. (I know some of you are too, but many are not.)

But yeah, this is why it’s so ableist to treat disabled people who have to stay at home like they’re somehow “lucky, entitled and lazy”. We don’t enjoy it. It’s really hard. Please be more mindful.

We were in “quarantine” before the pandemic, we’ll be in it after the pandemic. We’ll have to watch you all get on with your lives when its over, while we are still stuck at home.

Remember what this feels like, and remember that some live like this every day.

(Not saying all of you are like this, but if you are, please learn from this moment. Disabled (including mentally ill, chronically ill, and permanently injured) aren’t getting anything extra by being forced to stay home and take care of themselves. It’s very difficult.)

sand dollars doin their thing

they’re basically sea roombas

here’s this daily comic separate because i’m feeling it

so i just learned that baby eels (also known as eel larvae???)

start out looking like this monstrosity and can stay that way for SEVERAL YEARS

Punnett squares had no business being that fun

can't wait to become an ancient witch that resides in the deep wilderness, feeding myself on berries, wine and the tales the village people tell of me

Just wanted to spread this twitter thread around as much as possible. It frustrates me to no end that Tiger King did all this weird Carole Baskin character assassination trying to make her look like she’s just as bad as Joe and Doc without ever properly explaining what Carole is doing differently and why it matters.

Please?

looking for someone willing to go to the woods in the middle of the night to perform occult rituals with me
