Young Pepa to herself: Finding a frog under my pillow, Julieta saying she hates me, Bruno saying he hates me, tripping and falling and having everyone see and make fun of me...
Young Félix: ....What are you doing?
Young Pepa: The farmers need rain and me being sad and crying is the best way for me to get rain without also bringing lightning. All of my hair falling out, being alone forever, having to wear colors that clash with my hair....
Young Félix, about to cement himself as Pepa's new best friend (and Bruno and Julieta's favorite person): Has no one ever tried just... Making you laugh so hard you cry?

working with textiles is a trap. first they lure you in with knitting. then you pick up crochet (understandable enough). next you start getting curious in fiber. you learn how to spin (okay that’s a bit extra). weaving is cool, right? you now own a loom. heck, while we’re at it, why not starting making your own clothes (this is getting out of hand)? spinning is no longer enough for you — you need something stronger. you learn how to dye (stop i’m begging). dye is fun, but it’d be nice to have your own source of fiber. you are now a shepherd.
Dating is easy af tbh. First, you make a great number of deranged and vividly insane personal posts on tumblr until someone dms you. Then you marry them.
Fresh from the deep: a whalefish made an appearance for our researchers last week!
This whalefish (order Cetomimiformes) was spotted by Steve Haddock and his team on their recent R/V Western Flyer expedition 2,013 meters (6,600 feet) deep offshore of Monterey Bay. We’ve only encountered these obscure fish 18 times in 34 years of deep-sea exploration with our remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
Whalefishes lack external scales and pelvic fins, and in adult fish, the eyes are very primitive and small. The eyes’ lenses are lost after they transform from the larval stage, and with it, they lose the ability to form images. But instead of relying on sight to survive, they have an incredible ability to feel their surrounding. They have a highly sensitive lateral line system, with sensory pores that run over the head and down the length of the body to help them feel vibrations in the water around them.

Whalefish have rarely been seen alive in the deep, so many mysteries remain regarding these remarkable fish. With each deep-sea dive, we uncover more secrets and solve others.
