I Was Walking On A Rather Remote Beach When I Came Upon This Whip Eel Drying Up In The Sun. These Are

I was walking on a rather remote beach when I came upon this Whip eel drying up in the sun. These are intertidal eels that can actually handle themselves out of water for a bit, but it’s not normal for them to be fully exposed in direct sunlight like this. The tide was at least six hours from coming in and I felt like this eel was in distress, so I made the decision to dig him out and return to the ocean. His body was too delicate to be simply pulled from the hole without injury, so I got to digging.

This endeavor took about 40 minutes as the eel was quite long and difficult to excavate. Also had to continually refill my temporary eel pond to keep him from drying out entirely while I worked.

If you are an eel aficionado like myself, please enjoy this silly little video of the relocation process set to some jaunty royalty-free disco music.

Some of the women were so contaminated that radiation could still be detected using a Geiger counter of their graves in 1987. 62 years after the chief medical examiner of Essex County, New Jersey, Harrison Stanford Martland, MD, published his report that identified the radioactive material the women had ingested as the cause of their bone disease and aplastic anemia, and ultimately death.

so much rage for anyone who tells the story of the radium girls like “ohoho weren’t people in the 20s fucking stupid” and not like “corporate greed has always cost people’s lives and health”

Stay safe in the water

As someone that has grown up surrounded by beaches and done surf life saving, I know how the sea works. Lots of people dont. Every summer multiple tourists die here because they don’t respect the sea, if you’re going to the coast, here’s a thing I saw on Facebook.

Not quite the same, but check out the days ordering on this Weekly Planner fridge magnet that my housemate bought.

We ended up using a label maker to fix Tuesday and Wednesday.

A pink weekly planner magnet, with the days of the week in two columns (and an extra "notes" box). Left to right, top to bottom, the days read:  MON, WED TUE, THU FRI, SAT SUN, NOTES  There's an annotation in the Tuesday box "Sally, Dinner 4th". The household wasn't sure if that should be understood to be Tuesday (as per the label) or Wednesday (as per the logical ordering of the boxes).

me at any given time: can we just buckle down and focus on the task at hand please???

Air bags and seatbelts don't save those in the car in every car crash, and helmets don't save the rider in every bike crash.

Nonetheless, these safety measures save thousands of lives. Cyclists are free to make a variety of choices about what (else) they wear, from naked bike ride participants through to sensible F1 motorcycle gear. But appropriate helmets should be mandatory across the whole range, because we need to protect people on their shittiest days.

"Anarchist" but gets triggered when people voluntarily don't wear bicycle helmets.

Me when I know what anarchy is
