California Aglaja (Navanax inermis)

The Californian Aglaja is a large species of predatory sea slug. Despite appearances, it is not a nudibranch and belongs to a group called Cephalaspidea, or the shieldhead slugs. Having no eyes, it hunts by tracking the slime trails of other sea slugs with chemoreceptors

being sick & miserable objectively sucks, but it has become significantly easier to cope with since learning that “sickness behavior” is a well documented part of the body’s immune response

feeling not only physically but also emotionally like fucking garbage is unfortunately an extremely effective way to force your body to prioritize fighting infection & keeping you alive. i don’t have to like it, but knowing why i get weepy & pathetic when sick does help at least a little

i have a youtube video about the use of jumpscares in horror games playing in the background while I work, and it reminded me of the single worst jumpscare i've ever experienced, which happened while I was playing a little game I like to call... Google Maps. (you play Google Maps by turning on street view, zooming in to somewhere that looks interesting, and clicking on any 360 photo views that people might have uploaded. i have spent many hours of my life playing Google Maps)

Anyway, spin this guy around to see something that legitimately made me jump so hard that I damn near threw my drink across the room

(more info under the cut if you're worried about what you'll see)

there's a fish very close to the camera

Bought my uncle a burger and milkshake in exchange for letting me disrupt the holiest day of the week, NFL Sunday Football, so I could install a Pi-hole and free the household of ads...the thing abt the specific boomers I live with is they told me not to trust people on the Internet but they do not understand the algorithm or online advertising and think that Facebook has their best interests at heart. And every time I have tried to explain to them that no, blorbo from my dashboard is not selling my kidneys on the dark web but Google from your capitalism is definitely selling your web searches to every advertising company on the planet, they think I am paranoid. How could their personal friend Mark Zuckerberg want anything bad to happen to them etc. I am fighting battles I did not know existed!!!

What is your newest fandom?

And I don't mean “I only just got into this 30 year old thing!” or "Well, the spin-of of this 20+ year old franchise is really good." No, I mean what is the most recently made thing you've gotten into.

"aro/ace people can still be in relationships/have sex!!!" yeah and lesbians can have sex with men without it invalidating their identity, but if you go up to every lesbian you meet and start screaming about how "lesbians can be in relationships with cis men too!!!" you're gonna end up with a lot of pissed off lesbians because you're highkey replicating the same "you don't have to go against the norms of allocishet society! you can just be Normal™!" messaging they've been bombarded with ever since they started using that label, just dressed up in progressive language.

things i’ve learned from nearly 2 years raising garden snails:

- they have best friends - they’ll go out of their way to sit on their best friends, kiss their best friends, and share lunch with them - lettuce is to snails what a favorite ball is to a dog - if ur tasty they’ll give u gentle scrapes - they are SOCIAL!!!!! - they all have very distinct personalities and quirks - they like comfort, they are affectionate - u can actually tell when a snail is sleepy because they’ll only stick their stalks halfway out and wiggle them gently - they’re very curious - they’re very clean and they love maintaining their shells - cuttlebone YUMMY, make shell BIG
