Your daily fish #11
Special edition: Noble giants
Oarfish - Regalecus glesne
These creatures are associated with fairytales and folklore because they sometimes end washed up on shores.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They can reach up to 8 meters and they can swim either vertically or horizontally.
They feed primarily on plankton but they can eat small creatures too.
Their bodies are gelatinous to withstand the great pressure of being a super cool fish, I mean, the water pressure.
They look so cool underwater, here is some footage from animal planet.
I bet they have their own folklore about us.

…do you guys think people will look at me weird if I knit at the beach? That’s normal — or if not like normal normal, like craft person normal — right???
I’ve knit in bars of course, and the park, but I specifically want to go to the beach tonight and that feels like an appropriate setting to work on my ocean scarf. I already have a ‘sand contact reduction’ plan but now I’m calculating how many weird looks I’ll get…

My friend's book is out today!!!
Tumblr media
Tess Carletta's epic fantasy romance Goldheart is out!!
If you like epic fantasy, MM and WW romance, sex pollen but make it magic fruit, and extremely cool flower magic, you gotta check out this book!
Synopsis:
A world plagued by sun sickness can be both terrible and beautiful. Senna Kane was plucked from his orphanage and molded into the perfect Goldheart—the personal bodyguard to the prince. It's a demanding job, made harder by the headstrong prince's desire to solve the tension between the darkness-bathed Talsura and the sun-welcoming Redwind, but Senna has vowed to do his best. Defying the law, Senna and the prince sneak out of their kingdom to meet with the Redwindan princess to work towards peace. There, Senna finds himself spending more time with the princess' charming guard, Emrys, who challenges Senna to try bold and impossible things—like harnessing the sun's power to grow plants from his own body. The quest for peace comes at odds with the two lovers as the sun sickness, terrifying monsters, and cruel rulers try to tear them apart at every turn. The danger leads Senna to what may be an impossible choice: to abandon his prince, his duty and life's purpose, or lose the chance to become the man he could've been if that duty had never found him. GOLDHEART is a story about chosen family, choosing love, and the impossible feat of staying good in times of darkness.
Congrats @tesscarletta on the release!! So proud of you!

I don't think of myself generally as someone with a lot of sensory issues, but I had oral surgery today (for those keeping score at home, that's 3 procedures/surgeries since April), and if I make it another 24 hours with this stitch tied off behind my bottom incisors without cutting the thing off myself, it will be a minor miracle.

This woman is a good friend of mine. She was in the hospital for a month after this happened to her last summer. The fact that she's still alive is a miracle; she actually credits the EMTs for her survival, because they brought her straight to the level 1 trauma center in St Paul instead of the hospital nearer to where she lives.
If you ride an e-bike, or if your teenager rides an e-bike, I am begging you to treat it like the motor vehicle that it is.

being an artist and revisiting media you liked when you were 11 is like. oh ok. this shaped my sense of humor and the way I write characters and the way I pace narratives and the tropes I'm drawn to. and I vastly underestimated how much of an impact it had on me because I literally have not thought about it for 15 years. but it was there inside me the whole time. ok. ok cool! c ool
