Did You Know: Wortcraft is the practice of discovering alchemical properties by eating ingredients? It requires "grinding it against the teeth, which occasionally releases its simplest essence and results in a fleeting effect on the eater".

By studying calcifying organisms, Leanne aims to better understand the impacts of human activity on marine ecosystems. Through her research, she hopes to influence policy that helps protect marine calcifiers in the future.

“Why is this important? The idea is that the more porous the shell, the weaker it is. Mussels need strong, robust shells to protect their inner soft organs—and that strong 3D structure is important for ecosystem function as habitat formers and storm defenses.

Currently, the changes seen in shell porosity are not large enough to influence the material properties, so we aren’t seeing weaker shells just yet. But with further warming in our oceans being predicted, this could potentially lead to even more porous shells, potentially impacting mussels’ function as habitat formers and storm defenses, as well as their ability to protect themselves from predation,” Melbourne explains.

Since it’s February, Amethyst considered the birthstone of February. Did you know that Amethyst can be used to radiate into water and the water itself then has the frequency.? Try using amethyst water before going to sleep. 🤔

Things look blurry because of the way the light entering your eye hits the back of your eyeball . If the curvature of your eye or the length of the eye isn’t exactly right, the images can be out of focus. Glasses help correct that so that the images are sharp. 

Your eyesight can change over the course of your lifetime, so if you don’t have glasses now, you might someday! Or you might need a different prescription as you get older. And some people who have glasses as kids don’t always need them as adults.

*Don't forget to check out Zeelool for your next pair of frames! Use code BSJ to get 15% off already reduced glasses!!! 🤓 (see my profile pic for style Krystle )

Do you wear prescription glasses?

Did You Know: If Salmo the Baker ever acquires bread in his inventory, he will go to either the Two Sisters Lodge or the West Weald Inn, take a bite out of the bread, and crash the game? To avoid this happening, he has been programmed to not seek out bread, despite being a baker.

Have you ever seen a pink grasshopper? Though the meadow grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelus) is typically distinguished by its green and brown coloration, a genetic mutation called erythrism leaves some individuals looking pretty in pink! Erythrism is the overproduction of red pigment. While these rare insects are beautiful to look at, pink grasshoppers are hindered by their vivid coloring because it makes hiding from predators much more difficult.

Misinformation?

On my internet?

Take this and come with me.

Now gather 'round the Preamble

Alright some critical thinking questions:

By saying Arab Palestinians belong in Palestine, does that mean they are suggesting only Arab Palestinians belong there? If yes why did they still choose to recognize others as Palestinian? Who would that include? How do these questions apply to the next point made about Islam in Palestine?

When the charter says "Palestine is the cause of a people who have been let down by a world that fails to secure them their rights [...]." Does this exclude Jewish experiences?

Did any drafts of the The Balfour Declaration, which declared a land for Jewish ppl, include Palestinian voices?

Is Zionism representative of all Jewish people?

Since Zionism and Judaism are not the same; How is the state of Israel silencing Orthodox Jewish ppl by enforcing a state which opposes their beliefs? Is this antisemitic?

What does "Palestinians of all affiliations" mean within the context of "fully sovereign"? How does liberation apply to all of the above?

By saying "Palestine is the spirit of the Ummah" are they suggesting it is relevant only to Muslim people? Why or why not?

Did anywhere in this Preamble state the express desire to remove, punish, or kill Jewish people?

The charter is only 11 pages btw.

Im gonna go over all of them on my blog to debunk Zionists spreading misinformation.

The next section is simply titled 'The Movement' btw. I'll make a post about it later or tomorrow maybe depending on the feedback I get after this post lol
