So every year, my aquarium does a captive lobster hatchery project (hence all the loblings). The reason we’re doing it is because in the wild, loblings only have a 1 in 25,000 chance of surviving their larval phase. They’re plankton as babies and everything eats them. Additionally, as the Gulf of Maine warms, they are having even lower survival rates because the blooms of copepods they feed on as babies are happening earlier in the year, and they’re missing it.

Obviously, the goal of this experiment is to grow the lobsters until they’re big enough to settle to the seabed and then release them, because they have a much higher likelihood of surviving to adulthood when they’re able to hide. Ideally, captive lobster hatcheries can boost the wild population and keep things stable, so we don’t have a major crash in a decade or two.

The first year we tried this was pretty bad. We had a lot of eggs, but very few babies. It turned out that the CO2 levels in the building spiked as more guests visited throughout the summer, and that settled into the water and threw off the pH and caused a chemical reaction that prevented a lot of the eggs from hatching. I think we ended up releasing three baby lobsters (which is still better than their wild survival rate but not great).

The second year was a little better. We added a de-gasser to the aquarium and got a ton of larval lobsters, but right as they were settling to the bottom we had a disease outbreak that killed most of them. We ended up releasing four babies at the end of the season.

But this year? Oh boy. We have so many lobsters that we had to release the first round early (usually we wait till September or October so guests can see them). We just released a total of FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE baby lobsters, and we still have over a hundred who haven’t settled to the bottom yet. I genuinely don’t even have words to explain how cool this is. OVER FIVE HUNDRED. We just added hundreds of lobsters to the wild population that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.

Conservation is so fucken sick

so grateful to this movie for inspiring me to draw again :)

also can we talk about the game design of count the rice?? brilliant

the only challenges that require multiple people are at the beginning and end - at the beginning to allow the players to bounce around there for a bit before they realize they need to go down, and also at the end to ensure that a runaway player has to wait for another to catch up

count the rice itself, of course, can only be played with one player, so that players never actually have to count rice (if you had to wait for a second player at the end, then whoever got closest would win) (this is ofc not accounting for hannah pilkes)

the middle rooms are great too, because they are easy to intentionally fail, and hard to win. the spot the difference rooms are especially good, because you think you understand what it is (spot the difference between the two halves of the room), and this is seemingly confirmed when you successfully loose, but once you come back to try to win, you realize you did not actually fully understand the game. the placement of these is important, too - only players who were intentionally trying to lose got to those rooms. any higher in the sequence, and they might have had a player trying to win reach the rooms first, and then they'd realize the twist

and also the decision to split the rooms up? 2 and 3 in a separate space from 4-8, so players would assume there are only 3 until someone loses enough, subtly hiding the majority of the game from them

ugh just so many little details in the game design here are so perfect and well thought out, game changer is clearly such a labor of love

a show about an alien (alan tudyk!!!) playing one of the most interesting characters i have ever watched and interacting with members of their small town that FEEL like real people, not just archetypes or single personalities. These people are TIRED, they are happy, they get sad and panicked and excited and sometimes they dont know what to do, but they get back up every day and keep going. It's the indomitable human spirit. it's the relentless hope that even when things are bad, they'll get better. Because we're still here. It's that the married couple struggles, and sometimes you wonder if they should be together at all, but they talk about it and they cry and it's not perfect. they're not perfect, but they're goddamn willing to try for their family and their marriage, and that's all that matters. It's the unapologetic Native presence in the show, how they are just there, and there is no set up, no explanatory prologue, no mysticism or heavy stereotypes, just the refreshing existence of a people who are so deeply woven into the fabric of the town and the area that its like they were never apart. It's the Native American music used as backing tracks for the episodes, the decision to show the reservation as a place of love and family, a place where those who are lost can always find their way back home. It's the choice to show characters who have fucked up, no other way around it, but they are still loved. It is not scot-free love, but it is love regardless. It's the way that the characters are flawed, and funny, and they just love. I love you back, Asta Twelvetrees, and you Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv, D'arcy and Sahar and Max and Mayor Ben and Kate and Dan and Jay and especially Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle (the alien one) because i get to see a person who is still trying to figure their emotions out, who struggles with a fear of death and the knowledge that grief never goes away, the feeling of missing something so far from you you can never go back, the parallels of a being a neurodivergent person and feeling like an extraterrestrial. I love you, Resident Alien.

i need a moment😭

[cannibalmukbang]

The funniest parts of Resident Alien to me are whenever Harry is interacting with the two kids because I love any situation where adult characters have to interact with kids like they're their peers and end up getting bested with child logic. "Stamps cost like $30 at most, idiot" made me laugh so hard. I'm not up to this part in my rewatch yet but I'm thinking every single day about the scene where Harry, Max, and Sahar are in the diner having that very "Well you can't throw me in the lava because I have an anti-lava coat on" type argument. Or when Sahar tells Harry she's going to wash his mouth out with soap if he keeps swearing and he goes "good. I love eating soap". The absolute peak of comedy to me.
