You know what else fucks me up? Algae.

This is a single-celled organism.

I see doubt in the notes so just wanted to say that YES, this is a unicellular organism! This is a species from a genus of green algae called Caulerpa, which are a siphonous algae. The frond shapes, the “rhizomes” it grows from, and the “roots” it extends into substrate are all extensions of a single multi-nucleate cell. Here’s what a siphonous alga looks like under a microscope, with no divisions in its cytoplasm:

It’s not the only algae like this, either! Caulerpa is a member of order Bryopsidales, which are all siphonous. Here’s some more macroscopic single cell algae: Codium fragile, or dead man’s fingers. This one is a single long noodle of a cell with swollen growths on the outside called urtricles, packed together to create a firm “skin.”

Halimenia, a calcified algae whose shed growths are responsible for a lot of the beautiful white sand on tropical beaches:

Acetabularia or mermaid’s wine glass, the adorable mushrooms of the sea:

Algae? Is actually very cool. And you can’t convince me otherwise.

Inspired by my love of aquascaping~

I was finally able to go to the doctors recently about that mystery lump in my hand. Turns out it's called Trigger Finger which is inflamed tendons caused by overworking from drawing. There's no real cure but there are management methods so I'm very glad for that.

Months ago I started the Terrarium Life series and never got to finish it due to the lump. Now that I know I can keep drawing with proper management, I'll be returning to all my projects including my comics 🙂

If you like this kind of art, the other 4 of the series will be part of a sticker set that will be given to everyone who backs my artbook Kickstarter~

I’m watching Tidying Up, and why did no one tell me that this sweet, delightful woman so pointedly drags straight men for complaining about the mess while not really helping their wives with like anything??? The small cock of her head when she looks them in the eye and asks “you don’t help?” in the sweet voice and you see the fear of god behind their eyes. It fuels me. 

[scarlettablack]

She included in her testimonials a client that said something like “I learned to tidy up things that didn’t bring me joy. So i left my husband. I feel so much happier now.” she’s so subtly brutal lmao

Begonia pavonia and U485 with flash. Of the two, U485 tends to look more matte and black in most lighting, but in low light its leaves are even bluer, probably owing to their relative flatness.
