It should be forbidden to be that cute 😭

my mom took a national geographic-esque photo of him

Armadillidium klugii “Dubrovnik” is a gorgeous locality of the species, characterized by plentiful red coloration and large white spots. rarely, some individuals may have yellow spots, but this is not nearly as common as in “Montenegro.”

males tend to be more red than the females, but many retain the dark base color.

marine biology is so scary because it’s such a small field. i was giving a talk on cetaceans and afterward a woman approached me with her husband and she said, “you did very well. [husband’s name] actually pioneered the research and published the first paper on that. We were very impressed by you.”

Which is such a scientific interpretation/public education win I will cherish forever but also for the rest of my life any time I give a talk I will be haunted by the knowledge that the world’s leading expert who literally discovered/invented the topic might be in the room,

which is like, the opposite of what you’re supposed to do for stage fright. In fact I never used to experience stage fright but now I will.

Get you a gecko that comes when he’s called 😌

“Do you live under a rock??”

I wish I could find the original post but many years ago I was crashing at a high school friends house and he had me sleeping on some couch cushions that unfolded into a “bed,” except the cushions kept shifting and separating as you slept on them. So I had this elaborate dream that everyone on the planet had at some point been forced to sleep at my friends house, and the situation with the cushions separating was a single common experience that every living human had. And world peace was achieved through a movement called “push them together,” accompanied by a motion like pressing your open hands together as if to pray. Rock stars were doing it on stage, politicians were signing historic peace accords and doing the “push them together” motion, it saved the whole world

Gershwin got some new decor he’s trying out

Anyone have any tips for taming semi-feral very very scared kitties? I just adopted a mostly socialized cat and she’s had a hellish week- poor girl traveled all the way from Hawaii and is struggling to settle into her home and I’d love to help put her at ease the best I can. She’s currently in a nest in the bathroom with everything she needs, she’s just very hidey. Never had to socialize a cat before so anybody who’s had experience feel free to give me some pointers!

Her name is Pinot Grigio and she deserves the world
