ichthyologist:

Glowing Seasquirt

Some species of seasquirts have symbiotic relationships with bioluminescent bacteria. The light emitted attracts plankton, which the seasquirt feeds on. In return, the bacteria have a structure to live on.

What possible futures do you foresee with respect to cetacean captivity? What do you think are the odds of different futures coming true?

I tend to get a little rambly when pondering and I apologise for that in advance.

From Wikipedia Picture Of The Day; July 29, 2015:

A false-color photograph of NGC 1097, a barred spiral galaxy about 45 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax. The galaxy was discovered by William Herschel on 9 October 1790. It has a supermassive black hole at its center, which is 140 million times the mass of the Sun, as well as two satellite galaxies. The photograph was taken in infrared light by the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Blessed Angharad, who fell from the Great War Rig, who gave her life so that others could live.

#okay so the sisters are going to talk about angharad when they get back when the citadel is being rebuilt#and i like the idea of her becoming a figure people think are watching over them#patron of the lost and the suffering#patron of rape victims and self harmers and pacifists and childbearing#invoked by war boys in the late hours when they’re feeling the ache of their tumours#her named called out by those suffering in their labour pains#(whispered by capable late late at night because she was the first person to speak her name like a prayer)

it starts when the wives speak of her and her bravery and maternity slowly becomes something revered and not something that makes you breeding stock. angharad becomes a hero in the eyes of the people, but still a very human one.

then the dag gives birth to a healthy baby girl, who grows up a little anxious at times but brave despite it, and it occurs to her that maybe someone was listening after all. angharad slowly but surely grows more holy, yet still human, someone who’s rumoured to walk the citadel at night, kissing the foreheads of war pups and stroking the foreheads of slowly dying war boys, the company of the lonely and the comforter of the lost. and when they die, who else would be there, waiting to embrace them?

so the stories begin. max, the shadow out in the wasteland and the proof of the kindness of strangers. nux, who showed all the war boys what sacrifice and dying for a cause really means. and angharad the splendid, who fell from the great war rig, who gave her life so others could live.

How did your cat take it, being insulted by a mockingbird?

Saturday, August 22nd, 2015

I didn’t actually see it happening. I just heard it going on in the backyard. I’m guessing she (Jessie) handled it with feline aplomb.

Happy birthday to my most favorite human on this whole planet. You are the kindest, the funniest, the smartest, the most handsome and talented and thoughtful person and every day you make me happier. I always thought that “home is wherever I’m with you” song was dumb until I met you. I hope this year brings many more adventures! 💕🎉🎁🎂🍦🍣🍷😘

Great graphic from InsideClimate News. The media should always be fact-checking candidates’ climate denial…

Unfortunately, media are continuing to let candidates get away with their denial, including just yesterday on Meet The Press. This trend needs to stop. 

Both parties are not the same. Republicans are denying science for political reasons.
