Late-ish upload again, sorry! Happy Phycology Friday! This week’s featured friend is also a familiar one: Chondracanthus exasperatus (explanation for why I redid this in the last paragraph). C. exasperatus (common name: Turkish Towel) is a species of red algae. Its appearance may vary with its environmental conditions; for example, its blade shape can vary depending on water velocity, and its colour can vary depending on water temperature.

It also makes for a good loofah, apparently. 😝 - A while back, I drew C. exasperatus and I wasn’t happy with it (it was really rushed and I didn’t have my small brush on me), so I took my sweet time with attempt 2. I think it turned out alright! (or, at least, attempt 1 pales in comparison). I also have a pressing of Chondracanthus (shown on the left in the first photo), which was awesome—it’s always nice to be able to have the real thing in front of you. - What would you like to see featured on a future Phycology Friday? Let me know! ☺️

nothing will remind you that eating is good and okay like fantasy books will. “and that night in the valley they brought out the best plum cake and sweet cream, trout and turnips roasted over the fire, mead and goatsmilk and fresh cold water from the spring-“ and it’s like yeah dude you’re absolutely right. then sometimes it’s like “as he slept that night in the woods, he sorely missed the valley, where they brought out the best plum cake-“ and it’s like man that sucks i’ll have some seconds in his honor

Australia's burning, unsustainable tourism slowly thrives in my island, bleaching corals almost everywhere. Being just a mere spectator in all of this totally sucks. A decade for change and action please. 💚 Let's do what we can, we have no time for wars.

There has been a whale shark interaction recently established for tourism here in my place and it was suspected for feeding. Whale sharks follow a migratory path for food in the waters and if the feeding and baiting goes on, then their paths are definitely disrupted. The province has been on the issue for quite some time now, and orders were given to the municipality to take necessary action. But from what I have heard, people operating the site didn't claim to feed the fish but instead baiting them. I personally don't know how that differentiates with feeding. I find it strange how people desperately find ways to protect the obviously wrong things.

I had zero knowledge of the whale sharks before I encountered them in Oslob, Cebu. Back then, they were feeding them with uyap (baby shrimp). I knew nothing about the massive ecological disturbance of the people and the business did to our waters. But I'm here trying my best to use what I had learned back then and do as much as I can. So far, volunteering has been my greatest achievement and I look forward to my contributions though small, at the very least it's enough to contaminate the minds of other people haha 😂😉
