The Secret Life of the Awabi Abalone She is born knowing how to swim. Her first few days of life she spends suspended in the plankton with all the other drifters, larval fishes, jellyfishes, just-hatched cephalopods, copepods, diatoms…

“Her shell is her way of feeling and saying it: mother-of-pearl, daughter of water.” The secret life of the awabi abalone.

Prometheus says “hot take” and Greek gods respond “no give that back.”

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

This is weird, man

Hey Blueskyers I'm back

Gone too late, but at least he died doing something he loved: perpetuating anti-trans lies and blaming gang violence for gun deaths

A vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) swimming to the right in dark water surrounded by marine snow. It has dark red skin and blue eyes. Its arms are extended behind it. In between its arms is dark beige webbing. One of long feeding filaments is extended.

A vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) floating in the ocean, surrounded by white specks of marine snow. The vampire squid is a pinkish orange with blue eyes. Its arms are spread out with translucent webbing in between, and its fins are mid flap.

A vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) swimming away to the left. It has pinkish orange skin and blue eyes. It's fins are flapping and arms are extended behind it and partially curled inwards. Webbing is in between the arms and cirri are visible on its arms.

A vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) moving into its "pineapple pose." Its cute fins that resemble ears are flapping. It has its arms spread out, stretching the webbing, and it has them pressed against its face which is not visible. It is doing this to wrap its arms and webbing around the rest of its body, like it is turning itself inside out. You can clear see the inside side of its arms and webbing, which is beige. The inside side of the arm has these pairs of fleshy spikes in addition to a single row of suckers at near one end of the arms. The vampire squid is dark red and you can see white dots on it which are photophores. There is marine snow around it.

Vampire squids (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) don't really live up to their name. They aren't squids, and they don't hunt, let alone suck blood.

But they are vampire-like in their longevity! They are thought to be able to live up to 10 years, longer than almost any other cephalopod!

Other countries are fully targeting US academics with social media ads now, basically of the form "we still have inclusive liberal democracy and academic freedom here"

Artwork of a girl with long pink hair and angel wings wearing pink and blue hooded coat and transparent blue skirt. She’s holding an umbrella with angel wings pattern and a halo on top. Multiple eyes form a circle around her.

angel umbrella 🪽🩵✨

I guess their eyes too. But I love when Sapnap goes koala mode on George, he probably does the same with Dream

It was so good, I am now at least 3% gochujang
