(May 12, 2023) We are raising money for a crowd funded research project investigating the cause of blueberry hermit crabs in Okinawa, Japan using trash found on the beach as “homes” instead of natural shells. These hermit crabs are endemic to the southern islands of Japan, and they act as coastal environmental engineers. They are endangered on several islands, and we want to try and understand why they are resorting to beach trash for shells. Please consider sharing this post and donating to the project. The fundraising will be active for the next 45 days (until June 26).

You can find all project details here: https://experiment.com/projects/blueberry-hermit-crabs-with-beach-trash-homes

We suspect that areas with high rates of tourism lead to beach combers collecting natural shells leaving nothing for the hermit crabs to use. It’s possible that overfishing of turbo snails which would naturally provide shells for the crabs may also be a factor. We will survey many sites across several islands in Okinawa to try and determine a cause of this behavior.

We will be working closely with national geographic photographer Shawn Miller (photo credits above) and several researchers in Japan. Additionally, we will complete extensive beach clean ups in the areas we study. Thank you so much for reading!

starscream binge eats until hes absolutely stuffed, hes always too hasty. id say a more belly-heavy look for him but idk. unrelated what bots smoke weed. my underdog pick is wheeljack for general vibes and pain management.

Star/scream totally does. He's the SiC, the backbone, the smart one, he absolutely believes he deserves all that rich, creamy, filling fuel more than Mega/tron. Of course, he doesn't realize how much he took until he tries to fly and falls back down to the ground, fat jiggling and gurgling. He's totally belly heavy, only a tiny fraction going to his thighs and chest.

Also for the weed smoking, my top three are Beach/comber from any continuity, Wheel/jack (TF/P, G/1) and finally between Tra/cks, Hou/nd, and Ja/zz from G/1 (+ Bay/verse for Ja/zz.)

[Any asks or scenarios? Always open.]

Crochet Mer may! Day 25

“Happy to meet you!” This is the only other merman besides the fireman one that is not winter or hunter themed, lol. I was kind of disappointed that this yarn didn’t stripe well for his tail but worked for his fish. I decided to give him a bright shirt and found a shell button for a decal. Absolutely love his hair color, def using that again,

Naval Slang

Here is a small collection of slang that is just too short for its own posts.

Anchor or to get one's ass to an- to sit down.

Ant' bollock on the beach - something is extremely hard to locate.

At loose ends - there is little to do. The ends of ropes at sea were easily untangled and formed loose ends. So if there was little to do, the captain could instruct the crew to check the ropes for loose ends and repair them.

Beam ends - When the ship is almost at the beam ends, it means that it is capsizing and in danger of sinking, with the deck beams almost perpendicular to the sea surface. Today it means - to be in a hopeless situation.

Bite the bullet - Men who were flogged with the lovely cat were often given a piece of leather and later a bullet to bite on so they would stop screaming in pain. If he did, he was scornfully called a nightingale.

Boom and Mizzen- Cockney rhyming slang for prison.

Brace of Shakes - I'll be with you in a brace of shakes, literally means I'll be with you before the sail has time to shake twice, in other words I'll be with you almost immediately.

Bread hook - finger

Colours tied to the mast - Give up ? Forget it, this one will be fought to the bitter end.

Cranky- She's hard to sail and unstable. The modern version means awkward, eccentric or hard to understand - often used in connection with women.

Deck Cargo - Breasts

(I'm going to) deck (you) - I'll punch you so hard in the face that you'll see the deck up close. But since such acts were forbidden at sea, they waited until the opponents were in port and could settle it there.

Donkey Wallopers - Royal Navy slang for members of mounted cavalry regiments.

Don't spoil the Ship for a ha'porth of tar - To half-finish a job by not filling the planks properly with hot tar when lapping. Ships will leak if too little tar is applied, so a little extra effort is well worth it.

Goose without gravy - a flogging without blood.

Grass combers - seamen with an agricultural background.

Hit the deck - When a swivel gun or cannon was to be fired at close range, sailors would dive onto the deck to avoid being hit.

in case ur wondering, 'beach comber' was the very last drawing i did of cuinn/ice storm before i changed the face and i reused the lineart to draw the new version

so if you ever got my line sketchbook, you will have seen the earlier cuinn drawn a bunch of times before i gave him a beak and although (as i said) i do like my man-faced monsters i found that, where harpies are concerned, i already had that covered in siren

#ice storm over kosa
