Who’s this little ball of fluff? Meet the Tomtit (Petroica macrocephala). There are five subspecies of this bird; each inhabits a specific island or island group in New Zealand: North Island, South Island, the Chatham Islands, the Auckland Islands, or the Snares Islands. It munches on small invertebrates like spiders, beetles, and moths, as well as on the occasional fruit. It’s known for its curious personality, as it often perches on a branch to observe others or to scan the area for a meal.

Imma be honest, at first I had NO idea that Law was 26 entire years old. I learned his official age in a comment on a Pinterest post, like, I was none the wiser.
You mean to tell me that this is a grown ass man?! ^
THIS?! ^ LIES
I admit that I can see it post time skip, especially in Punk Hazard and Zou. (He was just a twink in Dressrosa. A foolish twink.)
But THIS?!
NAW. When he showed up I guessed that he was like 18, 19, maybe 20. But 24?!?! Really?!?! I don’t have a problem with his age or anything I was just genuinely shocked!
But come on. This is not a grown ass man ^ This is a teenage dirtbag. Cue Wheezer guitar riff.
I COULDN’T HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE
His stoner fit fooled me! I know people complain about shipping Luffy and Law because of the age gap but like… dude, I seriously had no idea he was in his twenties 😭
I find it so amusing that this goofy emo dude is a full grown adult man. With full on medical expertise and everything. Love that for him.
Fact of the day, hands down.

the desert rain frog ( oh sorry for not clarifying, thanks :)
Animal of the Day: Desert rain frog!
The desert rain frog is a species of frog found in Namibia and South Africa. It is mostly found on a small strip of land about 10 km wide that runs along the coast of these two countries!
Unlike most other species of frogs, the desert rain frog does not have a tadpole stage. It develops straight from the egg into an adult! It has a stout body with small legs which makes it unable to hop or leap, so it gets around by walking.
They are a burrowing species, using these burrows to wait out dry periods and to sleep in during the day. They can absorb moisture from the wet sand around them through their skin!

- Blushing Blooms -
(Wargrave Pink Geranium)
FUN FACT: Geraniums were incorrectly named, a mistake that went unnoticed until the end of the 18th century. Thier true title was pelargonium, however it failed to catch on.

Actively obsessed with Ghost in a paranormal AU. Either way- with the reader or Ghost as the spooky spirit haunting the other.
No cw other than death because they’re.. ghosts. Otherwise maybe a bit sad but mostly lowkey fluffy.
He does his best to ignore you. It’s hard, the way it makes gooseflesh rise onto his pale skin, his hair standing in end. It’s not that he’s trying to ignore you- it’s that he genuinely thinks you aren’t there, no matter how much you beg and plea for him to kiss you again. It always sounds like you’re crying, and it always makes his jaw clench hard enough for his teeth to crack- fissures in his enamel that hurt like cavities.
You go to grasp at him, to shake him, and it just phases right through him. It almost hurts from how cold it is on his prickled skin, and he pushes away the thought that he can feel your fingers on his biceps. No one else can see you, but you just know he can, and that’s why it’s so frustrating! You just want him to pay attention to you, kiss you again.
On the other side, he can’t even bear to look at you. He can still see the blood running down your forehead, and even though you look at him, your eyes are still dead. He’s so used to being hurt by his trauma that he automatically assumes it’s just another fucked up things about him. Sure, why not add visual and tactile hallucinations to the list? He’s not surprised. It’s his fault, after all. It was his job to protect you, and he failed. Of course your memory haunts him. He nearly breaks as you press a kiss to his cheek, squeezing his eyes shut and his fingers into fists as sits up in bed, scrubbing a hand down his sweat-slicked face. He’s tired, and the both of you know he’ll never be the same again.
The only way you get him to actually believe you’re there is when you pull a poltergeist on him like a child throwing a tantrum- books being thrown off the bookcases, tables flipped over. Your screams hurt- nearly burst his fuckin’ ears, darlin’. It’s only then does he start talking quietly to you, deciding that your giggles- however creepy they me at times- are still much better than your screams he's so used to hearing.
The other way around? oh, you immediately know its your Simon. Can feel the way his arms wrap around behind you in the kitchen on a cold, lonely morning. Maybe it's a figment of your imagination- but what's the harm in talking to air?
It’s a little less lonely, even if you can’t look directly at him. Only getting cold touches as a response as you tease or pick on him. Sometimes, when things get a little easier, you pick on him for the irony from his callsign. He always pulls you against him for that, regardless of what you’re doing. You scold him, and falter when you realize the only person who can get burnt when you’re over the stove anymore is you. The only person who can stumble and fall in the shower into a pile of giggles is you. The only person in your bed- even if it feels like he’s there- is you.
It’s a push and pull between feeling like you’re going crazy and being completely at peace. Which… itself is maddening. So maybe you buy an Ouija board to try and talk to him. What of it? In sickness and in health, my love. And as it turns out, the reaper himself cannot part you two.
What a hopeless romantic, Simon always was.
Or… maybe even reader who’s introduced to Simon only after he’s dead? UGH too many ideas need ghost cum ):

Mhh.. A new fact of the day
To Be Heard Uzi was never allowed into concerts before, even though her mother was a frickin rockstar. Her mom basically didn't allow her to go there due to how worried she was to lose her in the crowd.
Her first concert was when she was 15.
There is going to be an entire chapter dedicated to her past, eventually. A song chapter, to be exact. Mmmmmyeahhhhhhh

Maybe I'm late to join the bandwagon, but I just realised that this beautiful saree Anjali wears for Payash's Sangeet
And this one from Sarun's photoshoot for Star parivaar are one and the same!
I've always loooved this saree (I've known it only from where Sanaya wore it) and this made my day!
hehe y'all might know already but I'm just excited to share something I found by myself (all other tidbits I know are all from 10 years ago on India forums. Wish I was old enough to use it back then🥲)
And I'm totally going to get a similar saree for myself for no reason.
#ipkknd#fact of the day#red sarees and ipk#they both look sooo pretty#please let me know if there are more like this

Meet the Cephea cephea: a jelly so nice they named it twice. This ocean dweller is sometimes called the cauliflower jellyfish because of its resemblance to the vegetable. It can reach over 20 in (51 cm) in diameter! Jellies have bodies that include two transparent layers: an outer one for protection and an inner one for digesting food. Between the two layers, you’ll find a watery gel—in fact, their bodies are more than 95 percent water!

Animal of the day: Jerboa!
The jerboa is desert rodent from North Africa and Asia.

And the pygmy jerboa:
But all of them are super cute!
They can run at speeds of up to 24 km/h (15 mph) and have a lifespan of around 6 years.
