I went into one of those toilets you describe not too long ago in a restaurant

It was a pleasant novelty to have ‘my’ own individual space

It seems a practical solution for a problem that some dickheads are making for people that they’re unlikely to ever meet

Edit spacing

I think I’ve got it…

Just like your painting!

I was having trouble uploading it, I’ll have a go later from my computer

They’re really pretty little frogs and look quite ‘lickable’ too

Me and the bf saw one of these today at the zoo!

Jane Austin films/TV series I despise social hierarchy, class, stiff upper lip, fixed gender roles, but really enjoy Jane Austin

My favourite is currently Lady Susan She’s such a masterful player who manages to navigate the social restrictions and does exactly what she wants to do

I wish there were more Lady Susans

I hate the fact that most (but not all fragrances) are shoehorned into male/female categories Its a smell! It doesn’t have genitalia, if you love it wear it And as a fragrance nerd I have a lot of supposedly ‘masculine’ scents full of woods, spices, booze etc A (male) truck driver mentioned that he loved wearing Chanel no5 on one of the fragrance sites which I think is fantastic! A man comfortable with himself and wearing what he loves

Aww thank you!

I’m glad you enjoyed it… I worked quite long and hard on it, trying to find tricks that were suitable and hopefully a bit different, as well as some beautiful treats scattered in the minefield 😀

I love the Cambrian Era fossils, so many strange creatures. I’ve not read Wonderful Life mainly because I’d like an up to date version with the newer discoveries and interpretations…

Have you ever checked out the Chinese fossils? They are so well preserved the detail is astonishing, often complete with soft tissues! I managed to score a book from Amazon which was massively reduced because of a bit of damage to it

Just found this which could tick the box for me

It’s like a sentient sock

Is it fluffy on the top as opposed to being slimey?

Don’t get too excited, it may turn out to be crap, but fingers crossed!

Hope you subscribed for more nudibrach fun 😀

Not ugly… it’s just the highly infectious ‘Steve Irwin uncontained enthusiasm’ of wanting to get up close and personal, and finding out whilst you’re doing it that you probably shouldn’t have

I miss Steve

A lot of nudis seem to be cannibals, I don’t know whether this is from preference or accidentally hoovering up the much smaller ones, probably worth investigating

Also the man o wars definitely need a post of their own, I love how some sea creatures look like individuals but are giant colonies… then again we have slime molds terrestrially and us humans, and we’re a bit like a giant colony of bacteria wearing a person trench coat

I’m glad to have learned a bit about your favourite nudi, they’re stunning creatures in every way (btw I have a special nudi post for Halloween, something fun and not very serious) 😀

Beautifully written, much better than my attempt to describe the camouflage from the different viewpoints, thank you! 👍

and steal the stinging cells from them to make their own attack and defense… pretty hardcore

Thank you, check out invertebrates for some of my other posts 👍

Agreed…

[They have] a painful sting and symptoms similar to those of its prey [Portuguese man o’ war]. These include nausea, vomiting, and pain. source

Beautiful, but no touching

…and a rather spiffy pic!

I like how you’re thinking… also a shrimp jockey jauntily attached to the head at the side (like a head broach)

Fuch yeah! That is amazing!

So many possibilities… Something frilly or sleak? Maybe neon/pearlescent? Spots, stripes? An Aeolid with a garnish of cerata, or a Dorid with a branchial plume? And don’t forget a pair of magnificent rhinophores and optional Emperor shrimp jockey!

Holy shit I’m really excited for you! And I’m not the one making the costume or going to the party!

In fact as an autistic person I’d just spend hours of fun making a costume, and then not go to the party… just wear it at home

You’ll have to post your outfit when it’s done 😀
