Helloo, I just found your blog and it brings me great joy. Have you done a post on epaulette shark facts yet? They are my favourite 🥺

Hemiscyllium ocellatum // Epaulette Shark

Thank you so much! Epaulette sharks are one of my favorite sharks too, it's been a while since I did a post on them, so here we go!

Probably the most interesting fact about Epaulette sharks is that they can walk on land.

That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but they can move and survive on land for up to an hour!

These sharks have evolved the ability to undulate their pectoral and pelvic fins in a way that allows them to "walk" across surfaces. Their musculature and skeletal system is different from most other sharks, allowing them to lift and move their body even without the help of buoyancy underwater. They can regulate their breathing and heart rate to survive in these low oxygen conditions.

You might be wondering why these sharks do this. When the tide lowers, there are small pockets of water that larger predators cannot access. During these periods, they have less competition when hunting and additionally don't have to worry about their own predators such as other sharks and groupers. Hunting prey also becomes easier when the prey has nowhere to go.

There are nine species of this "walking shark" and they can be found in Indonesia, Australia, and Papa New Guinea. These sharks can grow up to 107 cm (42.1 in) long and eat primarily small fish, crustaceans, and polychaete worms.

My friend @ahmedaldani333 told me today about what they are going through in Gaza recently, as they are going through the most difficult periods of their lives due to the intensification of famine, the intensification of bombing, genocide, massacres, continuous displacement, and living in a tent.

As they have not been able to eat bread for two weeks due to the closure of the crossings and the scarcity of food, flour and food supplies, please donate to Ahmed through the donation link. The campaign is vetted #198 by @gazavetters

I am making this post on behalf of Sami and his family who are currently suffering in Gaza. Please consider donating to their fundraiser if you have the means or circulating their link -- any help is beautiful. They are currently at 78% of their fundraising goal and I'd love to see them hit 80% in the next few days!

DONATE HERE.

Sami wrote this:

"In Gaza, many are like this withered plant… Children who have lost their strength, mothers battling hunger and cold, and fathers who have lost everything, waiting for a compassionate hand to reach out to them. Just like in this picture... A child cries over her nearly dead plant until a kind hand waters it, and it blooms again. We too need that hand to give us life.

Your donation today saves not just one person, but an entire family who has survived death repeatedly. Every minute we face death, not only from bombings but also from malnutrition and weak immunity. Your gift is a drop of water to quench the thirsty, medicine to ease the sick, and shelter to protect a family from the cold. Support our family— we cannot survive without your help."

This video perfectly encapsulates how we view and/or treat men who are surviving genocide. Palestinian men are dismissed, ignored, and humiliated to the point where they have no choice but to have their wives, sisters, or mothers, along with their children, if they have any, be the face of their stories.

This should not be the case. Men deserve to live like every child and woman! So please consider helping Noor. He is father to 2 young children - one who was born last summer - and he is dire need for funds so he can purchase food and other essentials! Please donate and share. You can give as little as $1 since PayPal accepts such amount!

hey! i can answer this!

basically, most if not all gaza fundraising was happening on gofundme simply due to name recognition and brand trust. however, gofundme quickly proved itself to be actively complicit in the genocide through its targeting of palestinian fundraisers for deletion and suppression.

my own friend siraj lost over $27,000 he had painstakingly raised over several months when gofundme arbitrarily declared his previously verified fundraiser fraudulent. he instantly lost access to food and housing for his entire family and has not been able to regain that progress since.

by contrast, chuffed has basically never given gaza fundraisers any problems. it actively promotes palestine-related fundraisers on its front page.

chuffed has also been used by the sameer project, crips for esims for gaza, and other palestine orgs for over a year now. after a particularly bad wave of deletions (of which siraj was a victim) people began migrating their fundraisers to chuffed, and it's become the go-to host site for new crowdfunding campaigns.

so if you see a fundraiser on chuffed, that's why!

my friend siraj has since moved his fundraiser to chuffed. if you got something out of this post, please consider donating to him. he needs ~150 euros to afford food for his family.

tumblr users who tag characters/ships but not the proper work that these characters come from are a unique type of insane

When I first saw Equius I thought he looked stupid with those glasses on. But I feel like he looks really scary without them these days.

also they all fail because none of them have elliott

'cozy game' becoming a genre that basically just means 'farming life sim' with maybe a romance mechanic is so funny to me because id say what qualifies as a 'cozy game' is really subjective. like okay maybe to someone a cozy game is just living an idyllic life in a farm with your spouse. my idea of a cozy game is solving puzzles. what then. where are the puzzles
