Thoughts on snow? Personally I love it, as someone who grew up without it
I like the way it looks but I hate the everything else about it

I have absolutely no idea how to actually promote a book because I’ve never tried to sell anything in my life but here’s some reasons you may enjoy Quest for the Sea’s Revenge:
Do you enjoy my scary water posts? Because the horror and divinity of the ocean is a prominent theme in this story
There’s pirates. There’s zombies. There’s pirate zombies.
Lotta queer rep, if that’s something you look for. Basically everyone in this story is queer.
Sea monsters. They’re in there *gestures to the ocean*
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to (almost) die at sea? There’s a fairly detailed description. Written primarily from personal experience.
Do you enjoy fucked up guys (affectionate) and fucked up guys (derogatory)? We’ve got an abundance of both.
Have I mentioned that the main character is just a little guy? He’s just a little guy and it’s his birthday he’s a little birthday guy (he just stole your wallet).
There’s some romance if you’re into that.
Found family! Both in the sense that the crew becomes family and in the sense that Cas is literally trying to find his dad because he disappeared at sea.
The fog is alive and hungry. Don’t let anyone out of your sight.

hi there, i love your leech info! i'm thinking about getting pet leeches! i've been interested in them for a long time. i have been recommended by doctors to donate blood because being on testosterone unfortunately raised my red blood cell count too much, and while i still plan on doing that, i figured letting leeches feed from me would also be good in addition. i'm just curious if you knew anything about what medications could potentially hurt them, but no worries if not. i'm on a low dose of blood pressure medication (metoprolol) and take ibuprofen often. do you think those could hurt a leech? i can try asking a doctor but i'm not sure if they'd enjoy that or even know that information LOL. thanks in advance and take care! hope your leech is doing well!
Ibuprofen is fine and won’t hurt leeches, but I’m not sure about the blood pressure meds. If you tell your doctor that you’re planning to get leeches, they will usually be able to do some research and see if there are any known conflicts with Hirudotherapy (after all, it is a medical procedure).
I wish you luck on your leech journey!!

They do use leeches for that, as well as re-establishing blood flow after risky surgeries and other therapeutic treatments, but the leeches used in hospitals have to be purchased directly from the breeder and only used on that one patient. Once a leech has fed from a human, it’s like a living hypodermic needle and no longer safe to use on other humans (unless you wait between 6 months and a year for the leech to fully digest its meal).
Although it’s rare for leeches to transmit any kind of blood infections between people, it is possible, so obviously hospitals aren’t going to risk that. Leeches are (sadly) usually euthanized after being used at a hospital or a therapy facility.
I have let other people use my leeches for recreational Hirudotherapy, though! Since they’re pets, I keep close track of their feeding and know when it’s safe to let someone else use them, and I know that I don’t have any blood diseases that could be transmitted to others.

Happy birthday. I gift you an assortment of moths I’ve encountered recently. The first one with the greenish color and textured look is my fave.
Those are quite lovely lads! I like the last one best, a little Halloween moth
