Now THIS is living!

no thoughts head empty just 1 minute of egregia in a surge channel from last summer

video description: a tangle of egregia menziezii (feather boa kelp) fronds in a narrow intertidal channel, moving gently back and forth with the motion of the waves. the fronds are very long, and have small bladelets and floats coming off the central axis. they strongly resemble golden-brown feather boas. there is no audio, only the sound of the wind and the waves

Can't stop thinking about how in the Boy and the Heron the old man went to great pains to create a world free of malice but was still unable to create a world free of suffering. So many of the beings there still had to fight and kill, not out of hatred but because the imbalanced empty world was more phantom than substance and there wasn't enough there to sustain all the life trapped in it. That suffering there is not a side effect of evil intent but a side effect of scarcity to the point where sapient beings had no choice but to consume one another. A beautiful microcosm plagued by chaos and death even as it cultivated amazing beauty and stood apart from time. Immune to age and ugliness but at what cost.

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend
