Roccella nigerrima 

Why are there so few pictures of this lichen on the internet? Well maybe because it is only found on the Galapagos Islands, and when people go to the Galapagos, they're not usually there to take pictures of the lichens, unfortunately. But like, how could you not want to take pictures of this beautiful little critter? This fruticose lichen has pale white-gray, terete, many-branched thallus, and grows on costal rocks and cliffs. It produces ochre to pale brown soredia along the lower branches, and has only been found with apothecia on one occasion. There are 2 very similar Roccella species native to South America, but they both have a C+ reaction whereas R. nigerrima here has a C- reaction. So you know, if you are ever traveling in the Galapagos and happen to have some bleach on you for chemical testing of lichens and are able to ID this little guy, definitely snap some pictures! For me, for yourself, and for the lichenology community at large.

i just dont think the transition from being around someone you raised since he was 4 and having someone to come home to after a solo adventure or a few weeks of exploration to that person being gone for an indeterminate amount of time and always returning to an empty house wouldn't be very smooth-

My auntie keeps Golden Guernsey goats on our island, like many of our local unique breeds of livestock they nearly went extinct in the starving during ww2 occupation surviving by only one smuggled flock. They're super friendly and energetic and their colouration might be of interest :eyes:

Oh OH these are very pretty

Great Duck Island Light, Frenchboro, Maine. Aptly named, Great Duck Island is estimated to support 20% percent of Maine's seabird population. Under the Maine Lights Program, the lighthouse and 12 surrounding acres are owned and manned by College of the Atlantic. The rest of the seabird-friendly island is owned by The Nature Conservancy in Maine

Honestly, I don't think people give qCellbit enough credit. As much as he can be blinded by his own self depreciation, he knows his husband.

And there is something deeply wrong with "Roier."

Props to cc!Roier for his acting, because as someone who's been watching the both of them for almost a year now, the way he plays Doied with qCellbit makes my stomach churn a little bit.

It's an almost perfect impression of qRoier, but it's wrong in the ways that matter. He's a little too careless. A little too surface level in his portrayal.

He feels like if someone watched Roier's pov and took his attitude at face value without bothering to consider any of the nuances underneath. Which is, I guess, what Doied actually did.

He hits Cellbit with a sword when he's under-geared just "for fun". He stands back in fights when Cellbit's calling out for help. He nonchalantly brings up Bobby in order to convince the eggs and Cellbit to leave. He tells Pepito that he's Pepito's only parent and that Pepito is only his son. The small details all add up together and the result is something immensely off.

It's VERY well acted, and it's the kind of difference that only someone who spent a long time with a character could pick up on, which is exactly why I think qCellbit seems to have caught on so quick.

You know, not to quibble too much over Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island but the Voodoo Cat Witches backstory is very...odd. it just...glazes over some...rather obvious... uh....

Like, ok, your vague Cat god cult that happens to use voodoo dolls, whatever. Sure. (Where are yall *from*? You know, nevermind. Ill accept secret cat cults.)

But then they are like "and then some **spice traders** came and started a *pepper plantation* and we ate them all." But they all look like

And there sure are a lot of confederate zombies. But you know who we don't see at all? Like you know what population of people implied by the existence of both plantations and confederates isn't actually ever seen?

.....

And like, maybe it would be weirder if the movie about cursed voodoo werecats grappled with the legacy of slavery in Louisiana. But.....

It's finally done!!! This took so much longer than I wanted.

Basically what if Count Bleck and Timpani got a happy ending originally and ended up adopting the twins.
