No better way to seal-ebrate than this wave of cuteness galumphing into your feed 🦭😍
Pupping season can begin as early as February and go until June or July. Remember to share the shore and give these babies space —moms sometimes stash their pup while they go off to forage or hunt and can get scared away if disturbed.
In reality this little pup got lost and ended up on someone's porch. Not to worry, the home owner did the right thing and the little guy is now at the Marine Mammal Care center who can evaluate them for any necessary care before release back into the wild.

You ever get those ongoing multi chapter fics that you love reading so much that when you finally catch up to the newest chapter you read it extra slow like maybe if I take my time the author might update while I'm reading this chapter
Love is in the air, so grab your cuddle buddy! Found throughout the Hawaiian archipelago, the Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi) spends about two-thirds of its time at sea. However, this pinniped also loves to sunbathe, sometimes “hauling out” onto the beach for days at a time to soak up some rays and rest. The green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) can definitely relate: This marine reptile has been observed basking on the sand for up to 48 hours at a time! Basking in the Sun helps this cold-blooded turtle regulate its body temperature. But of course, nothing beats a good cuddle puddle. Hawaiian monk seals and green turtles can often be found together, snoozing side-by-side on the same beaches, sharing body heat and enjoying the vibes.
sorry i keep going on about it but “crab day” as a phenomenon still fucking baffles me. the corporate higher ups of automattic weren’t reading your posts about WHY you were doing it and staff was never gonna fuckin enlighten them. they saw you giving them money nigh-unprompted and thought “oh they must like what we’re doing” and just doubled down and kept right on trucking.
you were REWARDING them; at no time in recorded history has being rewarded made a corporation stop and think “oh maybe we should go about this differently they dont like what we’re doing”
₊˚⊹⋆ Howdy there! It’s finally time for Sandrock's final release yay ₊˚⊹⋆
To celebrate this special occasion Sandara pulled off her jewelry making skills to prepare some unique rings for every sandrocker who wishes to propose to their soulmate ! So without further, here's a little story behind each design,
Qi - Sended an intriguing blueprint to Sandara with complex symbols and diagrams…He assured her that it meant something important to his soulmate so she craved the coded message in precious silver with care. Even if she didn’t get Qi special love language as usual she was sure his loved one would get it ;)
Owen - Our favorite bartender showed an intricate design to Sandara, a delicate pattern almost the same as his own parents' engagement ring. Like the gilding flowers on the cover of a fine book he wished to give his lover the beginning of the story they were about to write together in this life.
Fang - The swan holding a special meaning to him Fang requested Sandara to make his ring the shape of that gracious animal to seal his promise to love and cherish his dearest one forever.
Ernest - Came by with this big and expensive pearl that got a special meaning to him asking Sandara if she could add it to his ring. The pearl symbol of his loyalty and love was carefully placed on the gold ring, the initials of his name and his lover one engraved on the inside.
Pablo - He made a special request to Sandara in search of the most colorful metal they could find for his ring in which bismuth mineral was perfect! Showing how bright and full of all the colors of this world his love was for his chosen one.
Arvio - Insisting on getting the most fine materials Arvio asked for a special ring. He showed Sandara a rare sand flower from Baranarok symbolizing hope and renewal inspiring the shape of that jewel meant to bond him and his other half forever.
Miguel - Requested a rather simple but very elegant ring, made with pale gold with a single diamond to show the purity of his love for his chosen one.
Burgess - Asked for something extra special to convey all his will to live in happiness and kindness with his soulmate. The yellow diamond he chose shining in the center of his ring radiating like the sun all his love.
Pen - In secret Pen demanded the most powerful ring Sandara could make to give his special one great strength and power he’s all for. However he never delivered it himself…
Unsuur - While admiring his collection Unsuur couldn't choose which gem was more fitting so he brought them all to Sandara to make a special ring! (even adding a few shards Wilson lost to make the base of his special ring ;)
Justice - Wanted a pretty ring that still felt like him so Sandara took great care at bringing out Justice strong will and honesty toward his most precious one with this silver and copper ring.
Logan - The only one Sandara didn’t made because well Logan made it himself for his special one! On late hunt nights he sat by the fire and carefully carved this ring in bones with the will to give his loved one something he made with all his heart.
This isn’t much but I hope everyone will have much fun playing and living wonderful adventures with Sandrockers friendly as romantic ones ! As I used to study jewelry making it was very much fun to do and fitting hc that Sandara would make them for the town folks !
It’s been already one year that I have being in this fandom and so so grateful for everything it brought me and the wonderful people it allowed me to meet ♡
I’m currently working on the girl next and some custom ones for my fellow builders who helped me with the designs ◇
₊˚⊹⋆ Happy Sandrock day ! Wish you all the best and see you soon to continue this journey together ₊˚⊹⋆
