A book I have been wanting to read ever since I first heard about it (around 10 days back) became available on an online (not amazon) platform So I pre-ordered it. Now I keep going back and checking my email for updates like I don't already know it's going to be 20-30 more days till it's here! 🤣🤞🏽📚💙

So first dive in over a year - and first dive in the UAE in about 4 years. A few Nudibranch were around which makes it nice. Here is the first one - an undescribed Phyllodesmium down at 21m.

So this is one that shows up a few times here in the UAE - was historically referred to as Hypselodoris capensis - but is now more likely to be undescribed. This was found on a wreck down at 21m.

Stray thought: I once sold an essay, and a few of my stories will come out in Canadian magazines and anthologies... Does that mean I get to use "an internationally published writer of fiction and nonfiction" in my author bio? 🙃 #WritingCommunity

Sandwiches at a roundabout! Outrageous. In the UK you might get sausage-rolled at a T junction or get sliced up in a crossroads salad but the worst is to be bapped and spread like butter on a one-way street. Happy travelling all.

Es ist soweit: "Geschichte auf Instagram und Tiktok. Perspektiven auf Quellen und Praktiken" ist erschienen! Das freut mich gleich doppelt, denn ich durfte nicht nur das Cover zeichnen, sondern vor allem auch einen Aufsatz beisteuern. Buch im Open Access: 👉 www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

Looking at these little cuties is going to make me explode 🥹 I love crabs so much

the Mireking, massive crabs that often get mistaken as islands. they start out very little #intothedeadlands #creature #monster #art

Everything comes to an end sometime. I've run out of good hermit photos, so I'm pausing the Daily Hermit posts. Here's a GrainyHand, deciding whether it's safe to come out of the shell. He's halfway there. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit

Finished reading Run With The Wind by Shion Miura. It is such a brilliant, book, heartfelt too. 📚 I didn't realize I would get so emotionally invested in it, because it's poles apart from everything I am. But the conclusion took my breath away. Beautiful! 😭

Nearly got sandwiched between two rickshaws at full speed cause roundabouts are multiple choice apparently.

Any recommended email hosts? I think it's way past time to get off Google, though Proton is not great either 😬

Read this if you read nothing else today.

Sure, please celebrate the female form for nine days. And for the ones whose bodies do that female thing of bleeding, keep them out as impure. Then talk about how much you value women.

#WIPSnips (disagree) We’d been dating for four months, and I still seemed to be a person of uncertain standing in her life. She hadn’t introduced me to any of her friends; it was starting to be a point of contention. #writingcommunity

Btw, who's the chief minister of Gujarat these days?

Largest beneficiaries of H-1B visas last year: India: 71% of approved applications China: 11.7% As for the affected companies (this year, via the USCIS):

Don’t support big company. Big company don’t like you. Support small artist. Or just save your money.

just saw a cottage cheese commercial that shows two teens eating cottage cheese while gaming. it’s possible that i’m out of touch with today’s youth but i don’t know about that one

Oh and at some point in the battle, Mahishasura (the demon) turns into a “noyono-bimohono purush” (eye-beguilingly handsome man) hand the goddess just kinda glares irritatedly at him

As I've seen it come up, no, authors don't get paid for writing blurbs for other authors. We do it (mostly) to pay it forward and to bring attention to work we think is good. Also, if an editor/publisher tried to bribe me for a blurb, that email would go up here and on my personal site SO FAST

Apparently the rapture is happening on Wednesday and now I'm like should I even bother folding my laundry if I'm going to be fighting to avoid eternal damnation on Thursday?

Airplanes are for us small people. Tall people can just use their long legs to walk or ride horseback or something.

I know it’s greedy but I have 3 versions of Vajra Chandrasekera’s THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS checked out from the library: ebook, audiobook, and hardcover. Now I can be in the story at every waking moment, whatever I’m doing.

My son hung out with a friend of his last night who teaches music at 3 middle schools in Los Angeles. He told M that we're cooked as a society — the kids are brain rotted from online. And, shockingly, they largely don't listen to music. They don't have favorite songs or artists or bands.

Sholay getting a release everywhere except in India

this is a great and important effort! even with PLC moving out of Bluesky PBC it is important to have more replicas, especially with regional diversity and the ability to "step in" and accept ops if needed. strong endorse work in this direction.
