You may know that octopuses change color to camouflage, but can these kaleidoscopic displays also communicate their “emotions?” And how do octopuses even change colors? 
Cephalopod aquarist Candace is back with our giant Pacific octopus—and a supporting cast of wild cephalopods—for some show and tell about the amazing color-changing abilities of octopuses!

Project Mc² : an underrated show
okay, i have to admit, there are some parts that make me cringe, but i mean?? it’s a kid’s show! almost all kid’s shows have cringe-worthy parts. 
This honestly promotes great messages to young girls that you don’t have to sacrifice femininity for intelligence, and vice versa! It also shows that things seen as “basic” can be just as unique a part of you as anything else, and empowered women working in science is something that shouldn’t be viewed as “bad”, because they are all individual people in pursuit of technology, engineering and science, and banded together as a high school group of stylish, smart girls.
An example: doing badass things in dresses and great hair (goals)
Tumblr media
It’s racially and familially diverse, with characters of different ethnicities and family structures, Ember having two moms, Camryn having a single dad etc. Three of the four, later five, main characters are woc as well.

give me ALL THE LOVE
and look look look:
