Siphonophore appreciation post
This is something close to my heart as a hermit crab mama! As beach & vacation season kicks off, gift shops will sell hermit crabs & tell you they can live in a tiny cage with a sponge. It is not true. I made this video in hopes to try to educate. You can often find large tanks on Marketplace or Craigslist for sale at a much cheaper price than a pet shop. Rubbermaid dishes can be used for water dishes. Needlepoint canvas can be used as ladders. There are a lot of DIY tips & crab central station is an excellent online resource for learning proper care. If you bring several home & one or two doesn’t survive, it is because they go through so much stress before they reach us. The pet trade can be ugly & brutal sometimes. We don’t want to add to that. You can also look into hermit crab adoption if you are interested!

The Prodigy looks especially holdable like. I want to scoop her up and just hold her like a baby.
She's very holdable yes!! Both convenient for when you have to make your way through a snowstorm... or when you don't feel like arguing on which path to take I guess.
Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.
depending how much sodium, potassium, and/or calcium is available, you can get different feldspars! labradorite is my favorite.
remember: stay OUT of the miscibility gap.
there are NO FELDSPARS in the gap. you can't fit that much calcium and potassium in one feldspar. it's not done.
every single server with a “vent channel” is awkward, creepy and toxic so i came up with the idea of a “medical status” channel which i didn’t even have to write rules for everyone just read my mind and is perfectly using it as intended and hopefully it speaks for itself
"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.
"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"
"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."
"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."
"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.
"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."
"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."
"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.
"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.
"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."
"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."
"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."
