I figured it was time to make a pinned post since I never update my blog header (except for my age)!
✨️🌊✨️
Hi, you can call me Rissa (she/her, 25, bi 🏳️🌈, woefully single, originally from the midwest USA, 🇺🇸🇺🇦) ☺️ I've been on Tumblr since 2015. I mostly reblog posts that make me happy, but I occasionally post my own thoughts or photos (#theviolinonfire). This is a SFW blog (but I do interact with NSFT Tumblr).
I am a [redacted] biologist and thus have very strong opinions on oceans, science, ecology, environmentalism, and conservation. Proceed with caution 😂 For ocean-y memes, search "#marine biology shitpost" 🐋
I am also a conservatory-trained violinist, so I enjoy music memes. I'm otherwise a nerd; I like many subfields of biology, paleontology, acoustic physics, iNaturalist, nature, reading, gaming, sketching/arts/crafts, dad puns, Star Trek, Sherlock, and dogs. 🐾🌻 proud Trekkie 🖖🌌 and Midwest Princess 💖✨️
I am happy to answer asks or DM, but I reserve the right not to reply if I feel uncomfortable. Most of my posts are queued, so even if my blog is active, I may not be active on Tumblr.

Do not interact if you are anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-equality, anti-feminism, pro-Trump/MAGA, anti-abortion, or do not believe that genocide is occurring in Gaza and Ukraine, etc. These do not align with my values, and I don't want them in my space. ✌️🖖 I believe everyone should have access to good healthcare, food, water, education, libraries, and free speech (read: respectful, open dialogue). However, this is not a political blog. It's my safe happy space.
Sea you later!
