"You really are an idiot."

[flowerthornsart]

When I was growing up we had a German Shepherd called Mischa. She was truly the goodest girl. We found her tied up in a parking lot having been left there by her previous owners. It happened to be Father’s Day and my dad, allergic to most animals, was cursed to have my mom bring home new pets year after year on Father’s Day specifically.

Her history was unknown but she was just about a year old when we got her. She was a lovely sweet tempered dog who loved us with all her heart. Her greatest desire was just to be where we were, vibing with whatever we were up to at the moment.

So no one thought it was odd that she was hanging out near my dad while he worked on the roof. Our house was set in a hill, so the upstairs was at ground level from one side and had a balcony on the other. My dad set up a ladder on the shorter side of the house and got to work.

After a few hours he came back down to get lunch. It took us a while before we realized we couldn’t find Mischa. We started calling her and were met with faint whining. We looked all around the house and it baffled us that east to west we could hear her whining. Which is when we finally looked up.

There was Mischa on the roof, delighted that we were finally looking up at her. We couldn’t understand what had happened. My dad went up and carried her down the ladder while her tail wagged happily.

It wasn’t until he went to go back to work and she instantly followed him up the ladder that we really conceptualize how she’d gotten onto the roof in the first place. She loved climbing ladders it turned out. But unfortunately it was a one way trip.

After that any time the ladder came out we had to secure her lest she pop up to join the workforce.

at work: i could be cooking and cleaning and coding and reading and working out and weaving tapestries and playing video games and climbing a mountain and having sex and filming a movie right now yet they keep me trapped in this prison. idle hands are the devils plaything and i am being forcibly molded into his perfect conduit. i must break free, seize the day and waste not the beauty inherent to finite mortal life

at home: my one true passion upon this pointless earth is bog mummy imitation

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.

Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.

Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭

Here’s to 2023, a year of as many little courageous kindnesses as possible. ♥️

Listen to me, boy. You will hear about sea slugs. You will enjoy sea slugs

Costasiella kuroshimae / leaf sheep. Discovered off the coast of Japanese island Kuroshima in 1993, they can indirectly perform photosynthesis by absorbing chloroplasts from algae

Cyerce nigricans. The cerata can be easily cast when disturbed. They can also swim by powerfully flapping said cerata when strongly stimulated. I think they look like butterfly wings!

Jorunna parva / sea bunny. They are covered in papillae, which are fleshy protuberances used for sensory functions. It looks like fur!

Glaucus atlanticus / blue glaucus. They are rarely seen, except during periods of on-shore winds which brings them and their prey into coastal waters. They are the most dangerous sea slug to handle, able to give humans a very painful and potentially dangerous sting

Chromodoris lochi / loch's chromodoris. They are spongivores, and prefer being on the underside of overhangs on rocky reefs. Their distribution is widespread in the Indo-Pacific. Everyone I show sea slugs to seems to love this little guy

Dirona albolineata / white-lined dirona. A translucent predator that often eats bryozoans and small snails. They generally reside on rocks and sometimes mud in the intertidal. Pretty little things, they remind me of shards of glass

Phidiana hiltoni / Hilton's Aeolid. They are known for being quite aggressive, often biting and fighting other aeolids, which is so real of them. They always reminded me of lit matches

Acanthodoris lutea / orange-peel doris. Its bright aposamatic colouration is a warning to predators of its distasteful toxicity. They also notably smell of sandalwood! You don't understand. I NEED to hold one

Nembrotha kubaryana / dusky nembrotha. They use the toxins in their prey ascidians to defend themselves against predators. The toxins are stored in their tissues then released in a slimy defensive mucus when alarmed. Nembrotha kubaryana are well-known for their neon appearance

Phyllodesmium poindimiei / Spun Of Light. It's primarily nocturnal and can cast its cerata for protection. Anyway, can we all agree that Spun Of Light is the most awesome name for a sea slug ever? I mean, look at it. That's a sea slug spun of light if I've ever seen one

Conclusion: sea slugs are the creatures ever
