(May 12, 2023) We are raising money for a crowd funded research project investigating the cause of blueberry hermit crabs in Okinawa, Japan using trash found on the beach as “homes” instead of natural shells. These hermit crabs are endemic to the southern islands of Japan, and they act as coastal environmental engineers. They are endangered on several islands, and we want to try and understand why they are resorting to beach trash for shells. Please consider sharing this post and donating to the project. The fundraising will be active for the next 45 days (until June 26). 
You can find all project details here: https://experiment.com/projects/blueberry-hermit-crabs-with-beach-trash-homes
We suspect that areas with high rates of tourism lead to beach combers collecting natural shells leaving nothing for the hermit crabs to use. It’s possible that overfishing of turbo snails which would naturally provide shells for the crabs may also be a factor. We will survey many sites across several islands in Okinawa to try and determine a cause of this behavior. 
We will be working closely with national geographic photographer Shawn Miller (photo credits above) and several researchers in Japan. Additionally, we will complete extensive beach clean ups in the areas we study. Thank you so much for reading!

@frazzledsoul shared an absolutely baffling take that she spotted on Instagram . Someone claimed "People are so distracted by Jess' looks that they overlook the fact he is a calculator (calculated?) person only at the age of 16 it's alarming and SICK that Jess knew how to manipulate Dean and Rory's relationship to make them feel uncomfortable with each other! Jess did this to make Dean feel insecure and paranoid so Rory got progressively more distant and Jess can take Rory away from him!" Dean wasn't insecure and paranoid until Jess showed up? I smell a trash take! Lessgo! I notice Dean's supporters who blame Jess for being a big ol Ruiner seem to gloss over Dean's jealousy over TRISTAN (who was nothing more than a bully and a harrasser that Rory wasn't dating or even interested in). If everything was so dang hunky dory for Dean and Rory (Lol, that rhymed) before Jess shows up, what is Dean's excuse for being insecure, paranoid, and making Rory uncomfortable for the entire first season of the show, another 5 episodes of season 2 until Jess shows up, then another some odd epsiodes into season 2 until Dean and Jess even just meet each other or are simply aware of each other's existence? The first time we truly see the rivalry between Dean and Jess start brewing on screen isn't until Bracebridge Dinner (2x10), and then it heats up for realsies in A Tisket a Tasket (2x13). So before 2x,10, who was using their psychic abilities on Dean to "make him" treat Rory like crap for 30 some odd episodes? He treated Tristan with the same jealous contempt as he did Jess, and I would argue it was even worse. in fact in Love, Daisies, and Troubadors, Tristan grabs Rory's books without her consent while Dean is in the Chilton parking lot. All he has to do is see Tristan with Rory's books (that she didn't want him to take and was trying to get back from him) and he doesn't ask Rory any questions. His temper is instantly set off and he becomes scarily jealous in the school parking lot and starts raising his voice at Rory in front of hundreds of other students.
Not to excuse Tristan for being a bully. Poor Rory is exhausted and she should probably just give up on boys, run away and join a nunnery. But we're talking about Dean The Butt Forrester here. Just seeing another boy carrying Rory's books was enough to set him off.
Just a very select few examples of Dean being insecure, paranoid jealous, and just a garden variety asshole, and Rory's "comfort" with him, long before Liz stuck Jess on that bus to hell:

See, he's more than capable of being a butt clown all on his own! Sorry Dean Lovers, ya'll get five seasons worth of your lover boy and we only get 1 and a half of Jess. You can't use Jess as a "get out of jail free card" for every shitty thing Dean does.

so about the new ishmael ego
Tumblr media
I like her. I could say more but that would be another post. Look at the background. This part specifically.
Tumblr media
There's a private beach roped off here. It looks pristine compared to the polluted waters Ishmael's boat is in. Hell, the water is green over here.
Makes me wonder if sections of the lake are roped off for nest-dwellers only. And these beaches are kept clean, meanwhile on the other side of the ropes, the beach seems to be an industrial waste dumping ground.

FLOYD LEECH + COMFORT (1k event details)
~~~~~
A clearly intentional shove from an Octavinelle student was all it took for you to crash to the Mostro Lounge floor, the platter full of drinks spilling out of your hands and shattering in an array of colors. Your hands were scraped from the glass and your knees hurt, but you still stumbled up with rage in your eyes as the Octavinelle students gaped in mock surprise.
“Aww, did that hurt? Let me get you a towel.” one of them coos, and even though he sounds concerned you could tell how mocking he's being.
“Don’t need it.” you reply coolly, tightening those bloody hands into fists, “Do your job. Or else you’ll fall behind me, you know?”
Another student gets real close to your ear, looking absolutely furious.
“Don’t talk to us like that. A little shrimp should know their place. The Leech brothers and Azul aren’t here to protect you, so what are you gonna do?”
“Ehhh? Who said I wasn’t here?”
The students jump away, and you take great pleasure in their alarmed expressions. Floyd looms over them, a sour look on his face as he surveys the mess.
“Shrimpy, what happened here?” he places his hands on your shoulders, not taking his eyes off the students for a second.
“They were just a bit clumsy.” one of the boys tries to explain, but Floyd cuts him off with a harsh glare.
“Shut your mouth, tidewrack. I wasn’t talking to you.” he hisses, “I smell blood, Shrimpy. Did these guys hurt you?”
“No.” you hold your head high, looking down on the students to show just how unaffected you are by their stupid scheme.
That doesn’t mean you’re going to let them off the hook, though.
“Well, not really. They just shoved me from behind and messed up Table Two’s order, broke five precious Mostro Lounge glasses, wrecked the floor, and injured an employee. But it was all just an unfortunate accident.” you say, and there’s a twinge of satisfaction when you see their faces turn more and more frightened (because there’s no doubt Floyd looks furious.)
“I’ll take care of them, Shrimpy.” Floyd finally tears his eyes away to look at you, a soft smile on his face as he rolls up his sleeves, “You go get Jade to clean up those cuts, alright?”
“Alright.” you smile back, grabbing his tie and tugging him down so you can kiss him, “Don’t hurt them too bad, sweetness.”
