Using Tumblr as my snail-mail web search because I love and trust y'all to know my wishes

I'm looking for recs on where to buy phone charms. The kind that come on the straps that fit nicely through lanyard holes on phone cases, with little plastic(/whatever else) 3d charms.

Etsy is sort of a gamble with all the AI stuff, so if someone could point me in the direction of a real artist or some website that sells them as a niche thing, esp those who might have different fish and bugs, would be 🙏🙏🙏🙏very appreciated 🙏🙏🙏🙏

You are trying to move into an apartment with your favorite Pokemon. The building is strict about which Pokemon are allowed inside but it’s super affordable. How hard do you think it will be to convince the landlord to let you keep it in the building?

Easy as can be, perfect apartment dweller

Might take some convincing

Basically a coin flip

It will be an uphill battle but I might be able to, while saying goodbye to my deposit

No increased rent, deposit or argument could convince any landlord to let us in

#I have three faves so I picked the last of these for the sake of the poll but:#1. reuniclus— I think would take some convincing but doable. it's not a perfect pocket size apartment pokemon but it IS a psychic type #which usually comes with biases toward increased intellect and better meshing with/understanding the intent of human spaces #2. Eelektross— I think this would be an uphill battle of convincing. for one it's big.#for two big electric types I'm sure are some kind of liability for apartment complexes or renters insurance.#it's as much a test in the confidence of their building wiring as it is a killer of my power bills lol #plus eelektross itself... does it need a tank? that too is a hard hard swing for some #lastly 3. orthworm.#on what EARTH do you think they're gonna let me have a 700-lb living subway tunnel driller anywhere inside a building??#that's the stuff landlord horror stories are made of this fucker has ruined the foundations of so many buildings I know it

All the people reblogging the plant poll from me like "yes I'm great at plants I've had this one for three years" and meanwhile I'm over here and the majority of my plants are over 10 and a like at least 4 are over 15 so here have a poll. I have a Christmas cactus, currently blooming, that's a cut of a friend's that I got 21 years ago, hers was from a cut of her parents, idek when the parents was from, that plant is probably 40 at least but even just my cutting is old enough to vote.

unforth

Ngl the 10000% best thing about this poll is all the delight plantecdotes in my tags.

#poll #my mom gave me a Hoya cutting in 2017 #I have no idea how long she has had the mother plant but I have mine it since through thick (happy blooming) and thin (mealybug apocalypses)#my last place had great windows so most of them are somewhere between 2 and 6 years old and moved across the country with me

You know, as the concept of “zombifying fungi” becomes more and more popular, I notice it still referred to everywhere as like a “brain parasite.” So I guess a lot of people overlooked or forgot how in 2019 it was discovered that cordyceps and other similar fungal parasites leave the brain and nervous system completely untouched. They only control the muscles. They use chemical signals to make the muscles flex in real time where they want to go :)

One of the coolest concepts I never ever would've thought of, and now can't stop thinking about 🐉🦠

#op your MIND this is INSPIRED #it also reminds me of an illustration I saw once about how bladderwort traps small organisms that is glued to my soul #absolutely no notes gorgeous.

The modern internet search is unbearable I lost pegs that hold stackable bookshelves together and I canNOT find a replacement

#if you feel like you've got better Google Fu than me #it is a studio 3b folding stackable bookcase (black)#there are 4 pegs with collars that are supposed to go between the shelves so you can stack them #I had them in a bag on the bottom of one of the shelves for YEARS but I either misplaced or lost them in my recent move #fury fury bite bite bite >:(#jello's word vomit #I barely even know the terminology to find a suitable replacement #and I don't want to 3D print them because I am worried they won't be strong enough

I feel a sudden need to bring some important, clarifying information to people. Mostly artists who love drawing murder shrimp.

There are two kinds of crustaceans that are called "shrimp" that use concussive force via cavitation bubbles as a weapon.

These are Pistol Shrimp, a group of actual shrimp, and Mantis Shrimp, which are not actually shrimp but they are the ones you probably think of when you hear "murder shrimp" and "shrimp colors" (specifically the Peacock Mantis, bc there's a lot of species for both.)

I'm not annoying enough to grumble about the mantis being called a murder shrimp, because "murder stomatopod" is objectively a less fun combination of words.

HOWEVER!! People keep drawing mantis murder shrimp with pistol shrimp claws. They are not the same claws!! They are not used the same way!!! I will explain!!!!

Pistol shrimp: A number of shrimp species which have one big megachad claw and one dinky normal one.

The dactyl, or movable part of the large claw, is snapped shut with so much force that it shoots a cavitation bubble out with a very loud snap that can stun prey or scare off predators. It's very fucking cool.

As cool as that is, there is a reason that the mantis shrimp is what most people think of when they read "murder shrimp."

This is the Peacock Mantis Shrimp. Which is not a shrimp, but a stomatopod.

(In a lot of pictures it appears like they're staring intently at the camera. They probably are, because they are alarmingly intelligent.)

Note that it doesn't seem to have the big classic claws, and that's becaus it doesnt. Please stop drawing a shrimp claw on them. Their "claw" appendages are kept tucked up, praying mantis style.

These are a raptorial appendage that do have a sharp bit, but that sharp point has adapted to add support to the club end. They use the club to punch the shit out of things. They do punch so hard that they create a cavitation bubble, but the punch is the main deal.

If you look up a mantis shrimp puncher you may find this image, but they rarely if ever fold out fully past the punching part.

The second common mistake on mantis drawings is from mixing up two types of mantis shrimp. There are punchers, which includes the peacock mantis, and stabbers. You can guess what they do.

Fun fact! The peacock mantis is the largest puncher species, maxing out at 6-7 inches. Some of the stabber species, such as a zebra mantis can get 11 inches. This is because the peacock mantis is as big as it can get before it would shatter itself with the force of its punch!

This has been the marine biologist PSA.

Please stop putting the wrong claw on a peacock mantis.

#oh man! we had a shrimp goby and its pistol shrimp roommate and you could sometimes hear little clicks from the aquarium #whenever the shrimp snapped its claw!#they were cool I miss them
