Words to describe blood without saying crimson or blood?

Blood—the fluid that circulates in the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins of a vertebrate animal carrying nourishment and oxygen to and bringing away waste products from all parts of the body

Arterial - relating to or being the bright red blood present in most arteries that has been oxygenated in lungs or gills

Body fluid - a fluid or fluid secretion (such as blood, lymph, saliva, semen, or urine) of the body

Carmine - a vivid red

Cerise - a moderate red

Claret - a dark purplish red

Clot - a coagulated mass produced by clotting of blood

Cruor - obsolete: the clotted portion of coagulated blood

Ensanguine - to make bloody; crimson

Geranium - a vivid or strong red

Gore - blood, especially: clotted blood

Hematic - of, relating to, or containing blood

Hematoid - resembling blood

Hemoglobin - an iron-containing respiratory pigment of vertebrate red blood cells that consists of a globin composed of four subunits each of which is linked to a heme molecule, that functions in oxygen transport to the tissues after conversion to oxygenated form in the gills or lungs, and that assists in carbon dioxide transport back to the gills or lungs after surrender of its oxygen

Hemoid - resembling blood

Ichor - a thin watery or blood-tinged discharge

Incarnadine - bloodred

Juices - the natural fluids of an animal body

Maroon - a dark red

Plasma - the fluid part of blood, lymph, or milk as distinguished from suspended material

oh, no, i have no concept of the size of a whale or of the galaxy. i am cosmically insignificant, which is fine. the other day i accidentally spilled a few grains of sugar on the counter. i watched a single ant heft it over his head and run with it - run! - like he was carrying a crown.

sometimes when i am watching the rain i think about how each particular drop is new and only exists for right-now and yet it is the same water as it has been for millennia. the atoms i am are only meeting in this form for this one life. later maybe they will be a mushroom. maybe in the infinite expanse of time, two of my molecules will meet each other again and they'll say i remember existing with you. which is maybe how a star feels, watching humans dance and laugh and sing in the bodies we are borrowing.

what am i in the cosmic sense? what of the stupid human exploits of my tiny human life?

the other day i found a wilting bumblebee and fed it a little water. after an hour, he made a lazy loop of flight. up and towards the stars.

that is the face of a man worried he will be next

[ashtraythief]

Good news, he was not next! In fact, she accepted him as her mate, he learned the crane mating dance and now every year, he artificially inseminates her with crane semen to expand the very endangered crane population. True story.

[luulapants]

Sorry, he WHAT? Imagine being this man's boss and having to sit him down like. Listen. Brian. We need you to fuck the bird. You have to act like you're excited about it.

(WalWaPo makes you jump through like three separate hoops before you can read the article, so I will share some of the highlights:

Walnut was born in a species-recovery breeding program in the 1980′s.  The program had crane chicks hand-raised by human volunteers, and at that time they did not fully understand the measures necessary make sure that the chicks do not imprint on humans and retain their identity as cranes.  

As a result, her keepers believe, Walnut does not recognize other cranes as members of her own species.  

It has not been proven that Walnut killed her previous suitors; however, there is a persistent rumor in the white-naped-crane-conservation community that she did.  

Because this species is highly endangered, and the gene pool of the captive population is small, it’s pretty important for the survival of her species that Walnut A) mate, and B) not kill a bunch of other cranes.  

The actual name of the keeper is Chris Crowe.

They both arrived at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in 2004.   

Walnut immediately began paying special attention to Chris--and ignoring the eligible male crane in a nearby enclosure.  

Walnut initiated their courtship, performing the opening moves of a mating dance.  

Chris realized that if he reciprocated the mating dance, it might be possible to artificially inseminate Walnut with her participation and consent.  (The process normally involves restraining the bird.)  

It worked!  

Chris and Walnut have had five children, who were raised by other crane couples at the facility--sometimes the biological dad and his mate--both because it’s unclear whether Walnut would accept the chicks as her own, and because Chris is not equipped to be a Crane Dad.  

However, the Institute provides her with artificial eggs to sit on, and Chris takes his turn looking after them.  (This would not work with real eggs because he can’t sit on them properly, but Walnut seems to feel that he is on the job if he just stands over them.)

Chris accepts that he is pretty much married to this bird.  White-naped cranes live to be about 60, and they mate for life, so he knows he can’t retire while Walnut is alive.  (At the time of the article, Walnut was 36, and Chris 42.)  

[thesylverlining]

Legit cannot pick the funniest part of this

she has not been PROVEN to have killed her exes, but there is a PERSISTENT RUMOR (really officers she's simply DEVASTATED, she sobs, wearing a new feather boa unfortunately resembling her most recent deceased husband)

His name is Chris CROWE. (Mrs. Walnut Crane-Crowe?)

the mental images of a whole human man learning and performing the crane mating dance, and "sitting" on artificial eggs so she thinks he's performing his duties as a husband and father (and apparently OBJECTS if he does not?)

"chris, buddy, you gotta marry the possibly-murderous crane lady for the GOOD OF THE SPECIES." (alternately: "chris, my man! good news! we found you a very interested lady! She's 36, she's very spirited and independent, she holds a very important and rare status in her society! ...Is there a downside? WELL...")

chris sits any potential human partners down, like "my love, you must understand before we wed,,, i am already... Attached" (camera drifts wistfully to the above photo) "Lady Walnut and I have an,, Understanding... the relationship is open, but very committed"

Not only is he 'married' to walnut, this has apparently happened SEVERAL times, so he has MULTIPLE crane wives, none of which know about any of his other crane wives. This man is, for some unknown reason, irresistible to cranes

we should talk about water more often that shit is crazy

[recuperationdisliker]

it is literally one of the most normal things

[vzm]

you can’t even begin to understand how insane water is

[healthysharkshealthyocean]

@vzm​ i agree, and I'm going to prove you right

Water is ~800 times more dense than air. This density provides buoyancy, which means fish don't have to counteract the forces of gravity. This leads to something called indeterminate growth, which means as long as you're living and eating, you keep growing. This is why we have a lot of species of fish that can grow to quite literal monstrous lengths and sizes.

Water is in-compressible, which means it must be completely displaced to move through it. Due to something called the Reynold's Number [R] (which is a ratio of inertial forces to frictional forces as they relate to solids and water movement) your size in the ocean determines how well you can travel. If you are small, water is very hard to move through (R<1, frictional forces dominate, water basically feels like molasses); if you are large, water is easier to move through (R>200, inertial forces dominate, water basically feels like alcohol). This is why large species have very wide ranges of habitat.

Water being very dense and in-compressible has other passive properties. Sound travels through water better than air; so well in fact that there is a magic-like depth called the sofar channel where sound can literally go on forever. Whales uses this to communicate and find each other. These properties also helped fish develop suction feeding/vacuum effect, which is one of the primary forces driving the diversity of fish.

Water is a universal solvent, and sea water is one of the most corrosive things on the planet. Being a solvent means it can hold dissolved gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ammonium (the ionized, nontoxic form of ammonia, which is very toxic). This means fish can safely eliminate waste products across their gills. PS this is also how our blood works with the help of hemoglobin. So thanks water.

Light is heavily absorbed by water, which is known as electromagnetic absorption. Because light is made up of differing wave lengths (with red being the least energetic and violet being the most energetic), you lose colors the deeper you go in the ocean. This means that most deep sea fishes are "color blind" and only sea in shades of green/blue. This provides one species of fish in particular the ultimate evolutionary cheat code: the Red Dragon fish not only kept the ability to see the color red, it also emits red light using an organ under their eyes like a spot light. This means they can use the light to hunt fish without being seen by predators themselves. Hollywood wishes it could make shit like this up.

Because water is so heavy, water pressure increases rapidly with depth. Every ~10 meters (or 33 feet) of depth you have the equivalent of 1 additional weight of Earth's atmosphere (atm) exerted on your body. This has an effect on dissolved gases such as Boyle's law (the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure; in layman's terms, the volume of a gas increases as pressure decreases), which in turn has a effect on the amount of dissolved gases can be available in water. Increased pressure also effects the structure of proteins, which is why most deep sea fish that are brought to the surface look vastly different when they are at depth. This also contributed to the evolution of something called chaperone proteins/molecules, which are proteins that help normal proteins keep there shape in vertical migratory fishes like lantern fish.

We really do owe the Moon a lot. I mean, she's HUGE compared to the sorts of moons a planet like ours usually gets. A planet our size can usually expect a couple of decent asteroid captures, but nothing like her. And because she's so big, 1/4 of our mass, her gravity deflects so much space crap from coming near us. She's like a big, burly knight with a big shield. I like her.
