My partner: Takes me to a beautiful beach at sunset with his family.

Me: "Look! Algae mustache!"

Can't take a phychologist anywhere nice.

Vermilacinia combeoides

Bouquet sea-fog lichen

This fruticose lichen grows in stubby clusters of subcylindrical branches up to 4 cm tall out of a blackened central holdfast. The yellow-green surface is unevenly ridged and often dotted with black pycnidia. The cortex is rigid and often cracked where bent. It has round plate-shaped apothecia with a thin rim and a white-gray disc. V. combeoides grows on costal rocks from central California down to Baja, but more studies are needed to determine the extent of its range in Central America.

I took an online seaweed class recently and THIS seaweed was definitely not covered in the class so I was suprised to see it! I don't think I've ever seen this species washed up on the beach before. I looked it up in iNaturalist and it's called Dead Man's Fingers (Codium fragile). The texture was so fun and interesting and the "blades" of the seaweed held onto a ton of water despite finding it laying out in the sun to dry

🚨💥🦠 NEW PRIMARY ENDOSYMBIOSIS DROPPED🦠💥🚨

A new haptophyte alga, Braarudosphaera bigelowii has managed to be cultured which contains what was thought to be an endosymbiotic nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium. Upon further study which was possible once B. bigelowii was cultured, it was shown that this purported endosymbiont imports proteins with a specific peptide tag from its host cell. This could indicate that the endosymbiont has lost part of its genome and transferred it to the host cell, which is the one who makes the proteins in those parts now. Along with the fact that it grows and divides synchronized with the host cell, this could indicate that the endosymbiont has become an organelle, which has been dubbed the nitroplast!

This would only be the 4th ever known case of primary endosymbiosis, after the original mitochondrion, the original chloroplast, and the cyanelles of Paulinella. This nitroplast, however, is remarkable for being the first ever known example of a nitrogen-fixing organelle in eukaryotes. This is of particular interest because it shows that potentially we could also engineer other eukaryotes (plants) to have a nitrogen-fixing organelle, which would remove the massive dependence on fertilizers as a nitrogen source in many plants, as they could fix it directly from the air!

B. bigelowii is also delightfully dodecahedral:

would anyone be interested in a LONG slow burn sirius x pure blood slytherin reader?

i'm keen on delving into a project that explores the complexities of psychology, especially mental illness and the often-overlooked or unromanticized flaws that are a reality for many individuals including me. (help)

tons of angst it could be very heavy, there will be fluff among the slytherins, and marauders (not with each other) but also heavy topics about child abuse, inferiority complex, insomnia and all that.

there will be some ocs of mine (not the reader) as side characters

note: english is not my first language

Chapter two:The dating handbook

Drink Dates,

but don’t do them.

(if you’re Looking for a relationship)

These days, going out for drinks is usually the go-to first date for millennial women who enjoy social drinking. It’s a low pressure way of getting to know someone and you can relax at the same time with your glass of Riesling. If you don’t like him, you can easily make an excuse and leave after your first drink. This was my main reason for having done a lot of drink dates throughout my dating life. That and the fact that I was afraid that if we do a dinner date, he might ask me to split the check. At least with drinks, if he wanted to split the check, it won’t be as expensive.

My outlook has changed since then.

Be girlfriend material. Make it expensive to take you out to filter out low effort men.

Accepting drink dates will not yield you men who are looking for relationships and it will place you in the category of a “fun girl” instead of a girlfriend/wife. If you’ve met a man socially and he asked you out on a date, requiring that he take you out to dinner will call for more financial investment on his part, which is one of the ways you can tell if a man is serious about you. Plenty of men offer drink dates because it’s a low financial investment on his part and it allows him to see as many women as possible. A man who only wants to do drink dates after you’ve stated that you only do dinner dates is a red flag and I would personally pass on that man. Remember that a lot of men do drink dates because they know that alcohol smoothes the way for sexual encounters.

What if you meet someone on a dating app? Now, should you still expect a dinner date from someone you’ve never met before? My answer is still yes. Online dating is notorious for attracting men who are only looking for something casual, so it’s even more imperative to only do dinner dates if they want to take you out in order to filter out low effort men. Before embarking on a date, do a pre-date phone call first to test for conversational compatibility and to make your expectations clear beforehand.

You need a sound mind to filter men.

Don’t drink during the first few dates with a man. Why? This will allow you to have a sound mind when it comes to filtering a man — does he pass your standards, does he have dealbreakers, does he seem like a good person? You need to be able to judge a man’s character with an alert mind. Being under the influence of alcohol makes you focus more on the “fun parts” of the date like how attractive he is and how much you like kissing him, instead of analyzing if he’s the right fit for you and if he’s boyfriend material.

So what should you do instead?

For first dates, I recommend dinner dates. You can do one in 90 minutes to an hour to see if you'd like to see him again. Do a pre-date phone call beforehand to see if you're on the right page, to communicate your expectations, and to make sure it's worth it to get all dressed up for him.

I've seen quite a few comments on this sub where women flat out tell a man that they don't do coffee dates and they expect to be taken out to dinner. I think there is a better way to do this that maintains your dignity and that also helps vet the man.

On occasions where I've had men suggest a low effort date. I have two go to responses:

"Thank you for the invitation, but that is not the type of date I'm accustomed to."

"Never mind, if it's too much trouble for you to plan an appropriate date, perhaps we're not a good match."

In my next blog,I’ll be discussing how to appear as a HIGH-VALUED WOMAN in a relationship, stay tuned!

I have tried books.

I have tried primary literature.

I have tried online picture keys.

I will now resort to looking at pictures of these unidentifed algal cells on my computer screen and yelling "WHAT ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU?!" and crying.

Noticed these weird little things on some dried washed up seaweed. I don't know if these are seaweed spores or something else but I would love to find out!

2nd attempt at Pediastrum! I’m liking this one a lot better so far. The cell walls are done with a split-stich, which I think looks really cool. It’s fairly easy as I’m learning new stitches.

I love mystery algae but then I get stuff like this mystery red

I think it’s a member of the ceramiales because of the cortication it doesn’t match the main four similar genera (Spyridia, Centroceras, Ceramium, Wrangelia)

WHAT ARE YOU
