If you are in the garden, I will dress myself in leaves. If you are in the sea I will slide into that smooth blue nest, I will talk fish, I will adore salt. But if you are sad, I will not dress myself in desolation. I will present myself with all the laughters I can muster. And if you are angry I will come, calm and steady, with some small and easy story.

🐢Daily Sea Turtle Fact:🐢

Olive Ridley Sea Turtle: The olive ridley gets its name from the olive green color of its heart-shaped shell. The species is among the smallest of the world’s sea turtles and is found primarily in the tropical regions of the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans. Similar to Kemp's Ridleys, large groups of turtles gather offshore of nesting beaches. Then, all at once, vast numbers of turtles come ashore and nest in what is known as an "arribada" which means "arrival" in Spanish. During these arribadas, hundreds to thousands of females come ashore to lay their eggs.

I Go Down To The Shore

I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out, and I say, oh, I am miserable, what shall— what should I do? And the sea says in its lovely voice: Excuse me, I have work to do.

This week, John discusses deep-sea mining, which is definitely a thing that might destroy the planet sooner than we think. Also we find one of the few animals John does not find fuckable, which is a sentence I have typed out and shared publicly.

~ Beach Finds #1 ~

I went on a nighttime beach walk date with my bf a couple weeks ago, and here are a few of the interesting things I saw and collected!

1) Sea Nettle Jellyfish. These have a very painful sting described as moderate to severe! However, their sting won't kill you unless you have an allergic reaction to it

2) Seashells!

Top Row L to R : intact shark eye moon snail shell, half broken shark eye moon snail shell, intact olive snail shell

Bottom Row : scallop shells, in varying states of completeness

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAR.

Because of this you get the three sillies interacting.

(Sorry if Oli’s mischaracterized)

Mother currently just sat on the couch, Drinking out of a yellow rectangle shaped juice box container apple juice.

Henry was just sitting next to him, his arms crossed over his chest in a Relaxed manner. Before randomly blurting out.

“What if I’d burn down my school?”

Mother just pauses his drinking and slow turns him head to look at henry

“…I’m not sure.”

He replies in his regular British accent.

Oliver just walks in through the door, a tsk emoting from his vocal chords

“You lot are crazy.”

Mother chuckled

“Hey, As long as we don’t get caught in with Henry. Just for the thrill.”

Oliver responds with his voice raised, yet not in a screaming or rude way, just in a scolding tone

“It’s a fucking Felony! It’s Arson—“

Mother throws his head back on the couch

“Yeah, so? Also no cursing kids are arou—“

“IM NOT A KID.”

Mother gets cut off my Henry. Oliver sits down in the couch.

Mother then says

“Eh. Sure you aren’t. Now are we going to finish binge watching this season?”

the other two chuckled and nodded.

Idk I came up with this while I typed but I wanted to give u a lil gift =D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE WONDERFUL PERSON I SPEAK TO.

This is so epik. Though Oliver would probably be on board with arson lol (he doesn't even bat an eye when somebody suggests exploding a door open)

The sea can do craziness, it can do smooth, it can lie down like silk breathing or toss havoc shoreward; it can give gifts and withhold all; it can rise, ebb, froth like an incoming frenzy of fountains, or it can sweet-talk entirely. As I can too, and so, no doubt, can you, and you.

We Must Sail

To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

[tenth-sentence]

Riccioli, like almost every observer after Galileo, interpreted the darker parts of the Moon as watery, distinguishing them with the terms mare (sea), oceanus (ocean), sinus (bay), lacus (lake) and palus (marsh), and added to them terms associated with either seas, the Moon or both.

I am in love with Ocean lifting her thousands of white hats in the chop of the storm, or lying smooth and blue, the loveliest bed in the world.

In the personal life, there is always grief more than enough, a heart-load for each of us on the dusty road. I suppose there is a reason for this, so I will be patient, acquiescent. But I will live nowhere except here, by Ocean, trusting equally in all the blast and welcome of her sorrowless, salt self. – Mary Oliver -
