Anyone know what it is? I don’t think it’s a moray eel, it only looks like it has one row of teeth. I translated the comments on the source and the only thing I could find was a mention of “Murasaki sea snake”, which, when put into Google, only comes out with pictures of actual sea snakes. That’s definitely not a snake.
I am annoyedfishcomwater (all the good usernames were taken) on WordPress, just take the site url and put that in front of it. Don’t know if I’ll USE wordpress, but it’s there as a point of contact. I’m also BSplendens on AO3.
I’m begging you, if you’ve ever written or made anything original on here please back it up in some form or the other now. The fact tumblr is blocking the wayback machine is the clearest sign they’re nuking this website and everything else is just a smokescreen for their intentions.
Ouch. I don’t know if they plan to delete everything really soon or just, like whatever unfortunate posts they randomly flagged, but whatever is up, this is very ominous.
Anyway, even if Tumblr ends up staying up for years after this I don’t trust this site anymore and I absolutely agree that if there’s anything on here someone would miss if it was gone, they should back it up!
They are blocking WayBack; I just tried to save my homepage and it denied me.
The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through
the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia.
The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought
Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo’s position was LAT
0º 31’ N and LONG 179 30’ W. The date was 31 December 1899.
“Know what this means?” First Mate Payton broke in, “We’re only a few
miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date
Line”. Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of
the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime.
He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the
ship’s position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on
his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed.
The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At mid-night the
SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed
the International Date Line! The consequences of this bizarre position
were many:
The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere &
in the middle of summer.
The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of
winter.
The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899.
In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900.

This ship was therefore not only in:
Two different days,
Two different months,
Two different years,
Two different seasons
But in two different centuries – all at the same time!
The first that comes to mind are a small school of guppies or a single betta. But if we’re being honest, I have a terrible time remembering types of fish and their requirements… So if any of my followers want to chime in, feel free to do so!
Any sort of dwarf or pygmy rasbora, a single domestic betta, a pair of wild b. splendens or b. imbellis, a few guppies, or the small tetras like neons and glowlights would work. You could also do some African dwarf frogs.
Mate… they don’t. I don’t know who told you that, but they’re completely wrong.
Tortoiseshell and Calico (which is tortoiseshell plus some white colour on top) is caused by having two different X chromosomes – one with the black colour and one with ginger.
A normal female is XX, so she can easily have both a ginger and a black X, and be a perfectly normal tortoiseshell.
A normal male is XY. He can only be one or the other.
A XXY male can be tortoiseshell, but this is rare and he’s got kleinfelter’s syndrome. They’re pretty normal, but usually infertile and may have a smaller phallus. They don’t just ‘die’, they’re rarely created in the first place.
Animals (including humans) with an extra chromosome generally do okay, though their sexual characteristics may be a bit wonky. Most of the time you’d never know about the chromosome defect, except in the case of animals with visible linked traits, like these cats.
Sonic can understand all the pokemon, inexplicably, but he quite likes it.
Fox is deeply unsettled by these little nudists.
Samus posits the theory that, seeing as all the Fire Emblem folk tend to come from different points of the same timeline, Moebians may be the precursors to Fox’s people. (Fox, Falco, and Wolf are all insulted)
Forbidden Playstation Allstars crossover. Or should I say…furbidden.
Hi, TV show where they’re about to take the tube out of a very sick intubated guy so they can ask him some questions, how about you get him to WRITE THE ANSWERS? His arms are moving! It’s gonna be slow, but it’ll work.
Cool there’s been asbestos in Johnson & Johnson baby powder this whole time and they have been aware of it for decades and done nothing
@laeffy yeah you uh. Need to stop doing that immediately and maybe go to the doctor to make sure you don’t have mesothelioma
this is so fucking sick
FYI, this applies to talc & talc-based powders / body products in general— J&J knew about this for decades because talc & asbestos occur together naturally (the minerals literally grow together in nature, have similar compositions, and are / were mined together), and they’re difficult to cleanly filter out from each other.
It’s old knowledge that, unless you’re involved in mining, mineralogy, or occupational health & safety, has been deliberately buried from both the public’s and regulators’ knowledge.
CNBC’s article + their writeup on the Reuters report revealing J&J’s cover-ups go into more detail on their corporate liability and the impact of J&J’s products specifically…
…But I cannot overstate that people’s best option right now is to look for products in general that do not contain talc at all, regardless of the manufacturer, and to be vigilant in seeking appropriate healthcare (and/or legal action if required) if symptoms arise.
This goes for body use (diaper powder, chafing powder— this is where the cases of ovarian cancer are coming from), for any use where powder may be inhaled (hair, face), or will have prolonged exposure to mucus membranes (eye makeup, bath bombs, etc.).
J&J are not the only ones who have covered this data up, and companies that aren’t sued will absolutely continue to do so. Be safe & be vigilant.
