“i feel trapped on a lonely star. someone else is very sick next door, and the vibes are almost too painful to bear. but i must stop saying that now so glibly. someday something will, in fact, be too painful to bear and then i will have to act. does one simply get tired of living? i can’t imagine right now what that would be like, but that is because i feel filled with a fury to live — because i believe life can be good even when it is painful — a fury that my energies just don’t match my desires anymore.” — audre lorde, a burst of light

Quote

Sometimes I feel like I am living on a different star from the one I am used to calling home. It has not been a steady progression. I had to examine, in my dreams as well as in my immune-function tests, the devastating effects of overextension. Overextending myself is not stretching myself. I had to accept how difficult it is to monitor the difference. Necessary for the me as cutting down on sugar. Crucial. Physically. Psychically. Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation. And that is an act of political warfare.

A Burst of Light - Audre Lorde

★ ★ ★ ★ ★/5

Audre Lorde never misses. This is the second collection of essays of hers that I've read. My favorite thing about her writing is her ability to incorporate intersectionality into literally everything. When talking about motherhood she challenges heteronormativity and sexism as well as talking about how race and racial prejudices play into how she must raise her kids. Despite being written well over 30 years ago, her voice and her convictions remain relevant in today's political atmosphere. By reading her work, I hope to be one that keeps her ideas of humanity and solidarity alive. We can do well by learning the lessons she wrote down and left behind for us.

[ID: A marker drawing of Olruggio from Witch Hat Atelier. He has a distressed expression and is drawing a spell that is emitting fiery light. A large number of "curtain leeches" are closing in on him behind him. END ID]

#witch hat atelier #tongari boushi no atelier #tbna #olruggio #arthur art #im so happy with how that lighting came out oo my god #there is a touch of digital to add a 'burst' texture but nothing else needed touch up for once

✨🦐Behold the brilliant blue blasts of barf that best baddies in the black of the bay!🦐✨

Okay, it’s technically not barf… This vibrantly vermillion little deep-sea shrimp, Acanthephyra sp., is a savvy spewer that spits up a sparkling secretion to outsmart sneaky shrimp snackers.

That glorious glowing goo is a special fluid it creates in its hepatopancreas (kind of like an all-in-one liver-and-pancreas combo organ), which lights up upon contact with oxygen in the surrounding seawater. By blasting a predator in the face with bioluminescence, it distracts them long enough for the shrimp to make a swift escape!

🎥: Shoutout to our fronds @mbari-blog for the first three clips!

#monterey bay aquarium #SHROMP week 2023 #FLASHback friday #wow this really blue up #it's kind of like pepper spray for the deep sea #big bright burst of light perfect to throw them off the biolumineSCENT #they're also called fire-breathing shrimp which just makes us think of tiny shrimp dragons?!
