Arrested for what! WTF! Are you kidding me? He’s not doing anything wrong! Sickening!
I want to see them
For the first time, researchers have found evidence that underwater ecosystems have pollinators that perform the same task as bees on land.
Just like their terrestrial cousins, grasses under the sea shed pollen to sexually reproduce. Until now, biologists assumed the marine plants relied on water alone to spread their genes far and wide. But the discovery of pollen-carrying ‘bees of the sea’ has changed all of that.
Over several years from 2009 to 2012, researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico filmed the spring nocturnal wanderings of crustaceans among beds of turtle seagrass, Thalassia testudinum.
Looking through the videos, they spotted more invertebrates visiting male pollen-bearing flowers than those that lacked pollen – just like bees hovering around pollen-producing plants on land.
“We saw all of these animals coming in, and then we saw some of them carrying pollen,” lead researcher Brigitta van Tussenbroek told New Scientist.
The concept was so new, they invented a new term to describe it: zoobenthophilous pollination. Before that, researchers had never predicted that animals were involved in pollinating marine plants.

Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.
Very shmall
miles morales is only ever allowed to hang out with the spider-gang for like a day because any longer and he'd start unlocking their traumatic pasts and suggesting healthy coping mechanisms about it. he was in that HQ for ten minutes and already pointing out how messed up miguel's trauma response of micromanaging the multiverse is. immediately said that gwen should just talk to her dad. didn't let peter B get himself killed because he was scared of messing things up with MJ. the real anomaly here is that a spider-person has emotional intelligence

@therainingkiwi dude, me too. i honestly have been hesitant to say it for a while because i wasn't sure how it would be received, but it's nice to know i'm not alone in my line of thinking. percy and annabeth would be foster parents of every demigod whose mortal parent won't step up. great addition, dude!
Guard dog has a guard dog
soft hums of cicadas
and the golden rays of light
that shine through the bleached strands
it frames your face in a halo
made of pure
uncontaminated
joy
