I live for other lives.

They have few predators. The spines contain detergent-like 'saponins' that can result in pain & uncontrolled bleeding.
This Pacific triton, a giant sea snail, is one of the few animals able to make a snack out of the C-O-T starfish, bypassing the thorns with a mucus coating.

The bulky Brontostoma basalis from Ecuador - incredibly strong and its venom packs a punch! When I took it out of the vial it immediately grabbed my finger and bit it. Was it painful? Yes, for a hot minute. But as always with assassin bugs it is more the speed of action that surprises me the most.

Wow, we made it to December already? The year has gone by quickly, and been a LOT for me. I thought now was as good a time as any to do a little reflecting on how the year has impacted me, the things Iโve achieved, and maybe set some goals too. Letโs dive inโฆ

It's super fun seeing some of the parts of PAX Unplugged that I didn't get to see myself, through Cassi's eyes! (Also tickled to see that various body parts of @antharal.bsky.social, @picklepikkl.bsky.social and @lordpaido.bsky.social made brief cameos ๐)
I really enjoyed #PaxUnplugged, and the opportunity to chat with several people about the cool projects they've worked on!
Unfortunately, I couldn't get everyone I wanted, so I guess I'll have to go back and make another video. ๐

Iโm always so nervous when starting a new story, afraid I canโt replicate what Iโve done before. But every time my players are always there to turn my feeble sparks into a roaring flame.
And hot damn this fire is burning bright. Canโt wait for you all to hear it.

Recorded the first sessions of this tonight. So excited for @kendomakesfilms.bsky.social to bring this terrible and wonderful story of the Sublime to THIAD for @eotiaxart.bsky.social & myself to scream and love in.
Me seeing this on my calendar, trying to remember what itโs supposed to be and then having the most horrific brain blast.
Hope you guys are ready for a Tale from the Sublime thatโs so deeply fucked that it could only exist on @theheartisadungeon.bsky.social

Brachiopods may look like clams, but have a different axis of symmetry and very different internal structures called lophophores. There are still brachiopods alive today, but they are rare.
