Everytime i get reminded of "toph's" concept art, i always think how weird it would have been to just have an adult man hang out with three kids for months

Almost every member of the Express has some kind of name-and-identity fuckery going on
March 7th chose her name because she didn't remember her old one
Dan Heng chose his name because the one that he was given didn't belong to him
Welt uses a name that was passed on to him, like a title
Stelle/Caelus had their old name erased and a new one assigned to them like an afterthought, like it meant nothing
Funny that they're called The Nameless

Steve and Eddie have a sweet little black cat named Jujubee. The party are all suprised that she doesnt have a more metal name like Ozzy or Dio and wonder how Steve managed to win that fight. Steve didnt win they just compromised on something that could be shortened to something cute. Her full name is Judas The Betrayer.

Luckily the "what if the SHARK impregnated our ray???" seems to be dying down and bigger news organizations have the corrected information in their articles, but I wanted to share this great blog post by marine conservation biologist David Shiffman that covers both the cool actual science that got overshadowed while actually calling out the facility for how unscientifically they handled it and for the fact that they doubled down (esp since newer media they've put out is softly backtracking and it looks like they're attempting to play it off as a joke that the news misreported. Nope. They put the idea out there like it was as possible as parthenogenesis while calling themselves scientists at a "shark lab")
From the conclusion:
Unfortunately, poor handling of this story has made it likely that we are on track for another year where the most-shared news story about a shark or ray is pseudoscientific nonsense, rather than about their dire conservation needs, their importance to marine and coastal ecosystems, or amazing new discoveries about them.
As a longtime supporter of zoos and aquariums and the roles they play in public science education, I am especially troubled by some of the public-facing communications here. If your goal is sharing knowledge with the public, there’s value in gaining accurate knowledge about the subject yourself first. Sharing wrong facts is not “raising awareness” or educating the public, and falsely claiming “anything is possible, don’t trust the experts” is, to put it mildly, not helping the ocean.
It's a great article to drop in if the "omg shark/ray babies???" keeps spreading. Or if you just enjoy niche science drama. The aquarium world doesn't get much of that
