Happy world nature conservation day!

It's celebrated and observed annually on July 28 to raise global awareness about protecting natural resources, preserving biodiversity, and maintaining a healthy environment for future generations.

I'd like to recommend 3 nature conservation organizations doing their best for our planet.

•Planet Wild:

Planet Wild

Planet Wild is a global community of people that deeply care about the planet. We're on a mission to bring back endangered species, clean up

•Mossy Earth:

Mossy Earth

🌲 Our team at Mossy Earth shares a passion for the outdoors and the preservation of our natural world. As such, we work with one mission in

•Seawilding:

Seawilding

Seawilding is the first community led charity to do marine habitat restoration. We are working with coastal communities to restore degraded

I'd also recommend checking out the Wild Hope series by PBS Nature:

WILD HOPE

Meet the intrepid changemakers who are restoring our wild places and sparking new hope for the future of our planet.

Hope these inspire you to take action or join an organization thats taking action 😄

Have a Great Day 😊

Got done watching Project Hail Mary a few minutes ago.

I really enjoyed it ☺️

I haven't read the original novel by Andy Weir, so I can't really comment on what happens in the novel.

I liked Ryan Gosling's acting in this film a lot. He's equally funny, compelling, and intelligent, and very Ryan Gosling. I like his character arc from reluctant middle school teacher to co-savior of the galaxy.

I was surprisingly compelled by Rocky's character. It was equally adorable, funny and tragic. Just like Grace, it's alone on its mission to stop the Astrophage. I envy it's craftsmanship.

I appreciate how the Astrophage isn't portrayed as some inherently evil alien invader, but as an almost Natrual occurrence that's just grown a bit too out of hand. Kinda like an invasive species.

I Absolutely Adored the creature designs and concepts in this films. Both the Astrophage and the Eridians both have highly detailed biologies, designs, and worldbuilding.

I appreciate this films willingness to do so much using practical effects, effectively having no green screens.

I can finally watch Ben G Thomas video, "The Speculative Evolution of Project Hail Mary" without being spoiled 😄

I 100% condone violence against the "people" destroying our planet, eating our children, and poisoning our food and water.

Clearly voting, petitions, and peaceful protests aren't working anymore.

Saw this Beautiful vibrant orange lizard 🦎 while walking home from an interview at a fast food place (fingers crossed I get the job🤞)

According to iNaturalist, it's a Peters's Rock Agama (Agama picticauda). In spite of it's beauty, it's an invasive species here in Florida 😔. Since their invasive, you could probably just grab one out here in Florida and keep it as a pet. Although I'd highly recommend researching the logistics behind that first 😅.

Their native to West Africa, from Mauritania in the west to Nigeria in the east.

Trotting through the open woodlands of southern North America is an animal belonging to a new kind of horned herbivore unique to the Americas, the Ten-horned Macallama (Hoplolama decaceras).

The Macallamas (Hoplolaminae) are a group of American camelids that can be found across North and Central America, with their most unique characteristic being their horns of all shapes, numbers and sizes that adorn their necks. These are used mainly for intraspecific combat, but can be just as effectively used for defence against predators. They are not bony horns like those of bovines however, but composed entirely of keratin, the same material as their hair.

The Ten-horned Macallama is a pretty good representative member for this group: It's a medium sized, generalist low browser common across its habitat. It lives in small mixed groups outside of the breeding season, keeping a collective eye out for predators. During said breeding season, they congregate so males can fight for the access to females.

Seagrass meadows and kelp forests capture carbon and produce oxygen much faster per acre than land trees, storing carbon in marine sediments or the deep ocean rather than in woody plant trunks.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm always excited when my brother Austin boots up Elden Ring.

I remember when he first got it for his Xbox I would send his guides on YouTube on how to survive and get good (as the kids say) in the lands between. I would also give him advice while he was playing, like suggesting he summon Rogier for the fight with Margit.

He's going for a "nothing specific, just having fun" build". He's already made it to the DLC.

At least once or twice (I think just once so far) he let me play, I remember being on the mountain tops of the giants and killing a few snails and even backstabbing a humanoid enemy (I don't remember which one it was, but definitely wasn't a Zamor Knight 😅)

Saw this Beautiful Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) while on a walk an hour or 2 ago 😊

The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather. This species has rarely been observed in Europe. This species was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturæ in 1758 as Turdus polyglottos. The northern mockingbird is known for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, 'many-tongued mimic.' (Source: Wikipedia)

Happy World Mangrove Day!

World Mangrove Day is observed and celebrated on July 26th to raise global awareness about the vital ecological importance of mangrove forests and to promote their-sustainable protection.

It was first adopted by UNESCO in 2015.

World Mangrove Day is also known as International Mangrove Day or International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem.

Mangroves are an absolute blessing to our planet.

•Their roots block heavy storm surges, high waves, and steady coastal erosion.

•Their tangled root systems give safe homes to baby fish and other sea life.

•their wet soils trap large amounts of carbon to help fight climate change.

Fortunately, in 2026, mangrove forests worldwide are staging a major recovery, shifting from a rapid net loss to a global net gain driven by natural regeneration, stronger legal protections, and improved local conservation. (Sources: https://www.bbc.com & https://www.science.org)

Although there is still the problem of rising sea levels 😳

I've seen my fair share of Mangroves here in South Florida, and by extension lots of wildlife ☺️

Have a Great Day 😄

Leptaena

Silurian brachiopod with prominent concentric ridges(rugae), the valve is somewhat square-ish in shape. the rims sort of extrudes thinly upwards. Also some of these guys retain a functional pedicle until adulthood.

Just got done re-watching GameOVerse

I definitely have some more thoughts on this pilot compared to before after some re-evaluation.

I highly recommend checking out The GameOVerse Trailer, it's basically a prequel explaining how Kit and Kaboodle first met Gobbles and showed what his game world looked like.

Honestly, it was good, though not as special as I originally thought it was.

I think the the story was decently original. It could definitely benefit from more episodes expanding on it (assuming it gets greenlit).

I liked the little easter eggs and homages to gaming and video game character throughout.

I adored the partnership between Miss Information and Fold, it really reminded me of Jessie and James from The Pokémon Anime.

This could've benefited from some gaming puns.

I wonder how this shows logic would apply to games like The Outer Wilds or Paleo Pines, games that don't really have a traditional "hero" or "villain", or games where the hero dies like Red Dead Redemption or Halo Reach, or games where you're the villain like Destroy All Humans! or Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

I genuinely felt bad for Snappers, it really felt like Fold and Miss Information were basically taking advantage of his kindness and naivety.

The female character designs look way too similar to each other, the same shapes and curves. It really does feel like horny bait sometimes, I really hopes this changes with more episodes by extension more game worlds to explore. I honestly prefer Kit's Kibble Star Armor form over her base form.

I'm really intrigued if theres a reason why Kit and allies can't tell the people of a game world what is essentially a major aspect of how it operates (beyond just plot contrivances).

I wonder if there's a God of the GameOVerse, a "game dev" so to speak 🤔

I wonder What would happen if Gobbles was exposed to Gojo's Infinite Void from Jujutsu Kaisen 🤔

I really appreciate the section at the end dedicated to Monty Oum. When I was in middle-high school I was quite fond of RWBY. It really feels like a passing of the torch from Rooster Teeth to Glitch.

Overall, i give this Pilot a 7.5 or 8½ out of 10. It's still a good Indie Pilot worth checking out.

Saw this Beautiful Immature White Ibis (Eudocimus albus) yesterday while walking to The Pet Project 😄
