So I did the Bluesky "roast" thing and it said, Sarah, maybe lay off the jellyfish posts.
But there should only ever be MORE jellyfish content. Everyone knows this.

I stepped into the warm waters of Costa Rica and stepped right the fuck out of them. Some kind of Jellyfish. It was like cut by a razor that was white hot. Peeling on it did nothing. Dont pee on yourselves.
I love biology facts but it's disappointing that it's both a misconception that urine works as emergency water and that it can treat a jellyfish sting, the sad reality is your pee is useless and your body wants it out of you for a reason 😞

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
