Reef squid (genus Sepioteuthis) are some very charismatic cephalopods that are commonly found close to the shore.
They are curious and social squids, often found in squads. They communicate with each other, sometimes by changing colour.

Fishy Friday: Bathypterois sp., a tripod fish. Solitary and stationary, these deep-sea denizens perch above the seafloor using specialized fin rays and face into the current. When an unsuspecting copepod or other tiny crustacean drifts by, this animal is set to snack.

Timelapse of that one time in 2024 I woke up, decided to fly to North Dakota and take photos of the most powerful aurora borealis of our lives, and fly back home without sleep.

In soccer, a draw = a tie.
How 'draw' came to mean 'tie' isn't entirely clear.
One theory is that it comes from ‘withdraw,’ as in “to withdraw from a contest.”

‘Melissophobia’ is a fear of bees.
‘Mel’ is Latin for “honey.”
The name, ‘Melissa,’ comes from the Greek word for “honeybee.”
In Greek mythology, Melissa was a nymph who fed the infant Zeus honey instead of milk. Later, the gods turned her into a bee (spoiler alert).

It is a coincidence that 'emoji' and 'emoticon' sound alike.
'Emoji' is a Japanese term meaning 'pictograph.'
'e' is "picture, drawing" + 'moji' is “letter, character”
'Emoticon' is 'emotion' + 'icon.'

If you want to stop something before it gets worse you 'nip it in the bud.'
You figuratively pinch off the bud before it opens into a leaf or flower.
You don't 'nip it in the butt' but we're not here to shame.
