There are four types of fish scales!

Cycloid scales are thin, overlap, and flexible. They're found on primitive teleosts (like minnows and carp).

Ctenoid scales have small, backwards pointed scales (known as cterns) make the fish more hydrodynamic and faster. They're found on Advanced Ctenoids (like perch and sunfish).

Ganoid scales are thick, diamond-shaped, and mostly non-overlapping. They're found on Chondrostei (like sturgeons and paddlefish).

Placoid scales are spikey and tooth-like with nerves. These are found on Chondrichthyes (like sharks and rays).

I found out this morning from another activist that there's a piece of legislation about to go before Congress in the U.S. that would basically allow the government to strip non-profits of 501(c)3 status if their missions disagree with the government's policy priorites. I know that sounds catastrophic, and it is but:

The government can grant 501(c)3 status. The government cannot tell you, me, or anyone where we can put our money.

ALSO! In some states, you don't need any sort of non-profit status to *accept* donations. You just can't solicit donations (i.e. you can't even mention that you can take money in writing anywhere).

So write down your favorite non-profits. Get the contact info for as many people within the non-profit that you can. And keep giving them money, 501(c)3 or not, preferably in cash.

Fuck all attempts at institutional control of people fighting for a better tomorrow.

Accidentally wound up on "hear me out cake" tiktok, and I swear, if another one of these bitches puts down an at-most-unconventionally-attractive human man, Lady Dimitrescu or Nick Wilde/Robin Hood I am going to lose my fucking mind.

Saw one where the first person they named was Disney's Aladdin and I tapped out so hard I entered a fugue state and didn't regain full consciousness for like a solid hour.

I'm just saying, if there's a curse that runs along your family line and you don't tell your kids about it, how the hell are they supposed to go on a quest to stop it?

Wicked dolls by Mattel have the wrong website of the film printed on the packaging which directs you to an adult film website.

Nearly 14,000 mail ballots in Nevada have signature issues

Officials urge residents to use online tool to check if ballot was accepted

The total number of ballots — 13,906 — needing curing include 6,383 from registered nonpartisan or other voters, 4,026 from Democrats and 3,497 from Republicans.

The deadline for voters to cure their ballots is 5 p.m. Nov. 12, officials said. Ballots can be cured here.

The main issue they're having with young voters is that Nevada allows for voter registration through the Department of Motor Vehicles, and the "signatures" are digital (the licensee types it into a form), so their hand-written signatures on their ballots don't match the KEYSTROKES that serve as signatures on their license.

It would be hilarious if it weren't so fucking infuriating.
