do you ever catch yourself thinking of something so weird and fucked up that you have to stop mid-thought and your face is
our thoughts aren’t always from us. Sometimes random thoughts are our brain trying to process and understand concepts we’ve heard from other people. Your reaction to that thought shows your true feelings on the subject
this actually makes me very relieved
That information is very important for people suffering from intrusive thoughts. Thank you
Leave it alone, unless you know it’s been taken from the water unnaturally or you know it’s a species that isn’t able to survive unless it’s submerged. Most of the time, you won’t see them “on land”, but in the intertidal zone, so they’ll be underwater in a few hours again.
Some species are able to hunker down on a rock for hours and hours are just fine. You’ll see big purple and orange ochre sea stars clinging to piers and rocks and beaches all the time on the Pacific coast, waiting for the tide to come back in. Certain species lack internal support structures and their bodies will collapse on land, so you’ll only see them adrift in the surf or spat up by waves or animals.
If it’s on rock, you probably won’t be able to lift it anyway. They stick on real tight. If it’s on the sand and far away from the water, it may be worth picking it up and putting it near (but not in) the water, but otherwise they should be left alone. They don’t have brains, but they do know what they’re doing.
I can honestly say I’m not surprised at all – given the captive mortality rate,and the immense stress the population is already under, adding the stress of capture and captivity on top of that? Would have probably killed them all faster.
I’m not saying anything new when I say that, in my opinion, vaquita are functionally extinct.
They are a zombie species. They are dead and gone, we’re just waiting for the population numbers to catch up to that fact. The population is too small to succesfully breed back to strength without suffering inbreeding collapse, and their environment is not going to improve fast enough for them to persist anyway.
Too little, too late, and all for naught. This is a great example, unfortunately, of an empty token gesture, of people trying to look like they’re doing something when what they should have done was listened years ago and stopped it from ever getting this bad. Maui’s dolphin is another prime example of this – down to approximately forty individuals – only 10 of which are females, and even fewer are females of reproductive age – are abhorrently under-protected, their habitat is exploited by mining and drilling, as well as commercial fishing. Despite biologists lobbying the New Zealand government for better protection measures, nothing is really being done.
We are not learning from our mistakes, it would seem.
Isn’t it weird how you can actually feel the pain in your chest and stomach when something really hurts your feelings
This is actually because it activates your vagus nerve! Basically your body goes “we are so upset! We must be injured! Where???? On the inside guts! Those are confusing and hard to differentiate!!! Confusing guts are hurt!”
Why are people in movies always falling in love via longing gases and somber, serious interactions? You don’t seem to be having fun at all. I don’t think you will be happy together considering you look like you’re at a funeral the entire time you’re sharing screen time!
Ah yes, those dramatic longing gases.
Usually achieved via the eating of massive number of beans beforehand.
This is the greatest video ever posted on the internet
Fun Fact: Kittens learn to hunt their prey using their mother’s tail. This is so cute cause this tail is a lot faster than a cat’s tail but the kitten is doing their best. ❤🐈
Cute 🙂
So what I’m hearing is that training with a dog is going to turn this cat into the APEX PREDATOR
and i thought “woah what a noble beast” so i searched for more photos and i just
