Hey, you! Yeah, you with the cool neocities!

You're doing great! Really love what you've done with the place so far. Now here's something important moving forward. If you are making a neocities - especially if you are doing so with the motivation to fight back against Web 3.0 and reclaim the web as a space for individual users instead of for companies - please, keep the following in mind:

An inaccessible web is not a free web.

Repeat after me: An inaccessible web is not a free web.

Did you know that leeches were once used to predict storms? Well, a tornado warning just dropped and my squad is climbing

@takemetoturch

My dad is a meteorologist and he has never once warned me about an incoming storm. My leeches, however......

*urgently* Lads, the leechometre is at 12 bong, I repeat, 12 bong!

"tempest prognosticator" absolutely sounds like some kind of arcane device a wizard would have lying around in his workshop

It would also probably have leeches in it.

My bf studied japanese in high school and often says "gambate!" (not sure of spelling) to be like. encouraging. I think it means roughly "let's get this bread." However, as someone who took spanish in high school, it always sounds like a command to me. And as near as I can tell, in spanish it would mean "go shrimp yourself."

I'm definitely not a fluent speaker, so I could be wrong, but here's how I got there:

In Spanish, some (informal, I think?) commands are formed by dropping the "r" from the end of an infinitive verb. (Every infinitive verb in Spanish ends in r.) For example, "to run" is "correr." If you want to tell someone to run, it's "corre." If you want to tell someone to do something to something/someone, you append a little pronoun thing to the end. From "besar" (to kiss) we get "bésame" (kiss me). From "cocinar" (to cook) we get "cocínalo" (cook it). From "callar" (to silence) we get "cállate" (silence yourself/shut up).

So, "gambate" immediately reminds me of "cállate," which is a rude command. It would be formed from the verb "gambar" and the second person object "te" for "you/yourself." But "gambar" isn't a word in Spanish. However, "gamba" is a word. It means "shrimp." So while it isn't technically grammatically correct, in the same way we "verb" nouns in English, the noun "gamba" is being used in the place of a verb here. "Gambate" (or more properly "gámbate" to maintain the correct stress for both the Spanish and Japanese). "Go shrimp yourself."

Native spanish speaker. You're quite right about your linguistics here, and spanish speakers love to make up new words by conjugating existing words (at the very least, my parents do)

My confusion stemmed from never having heard the word gamba before. To my knowledge the word for shrimp is camarón

So i looked it up and apparently gamba actually means prawn. So it's actually go prawn yourself

You get there and all the pretty boys look up from drinking from the reservoir and gallop away like gazelle

we can argue about queer rep in media until the heat death of the universe (and we will!) but u gotta admit: when someone says ‘the gay pirate show’ or ‘the gay vampire show’ or ‘the cartoon with the girlfriends with magic powers’ and you have to say “which one?” it feels pretty good

Forgot I made these quick refs once!!

It’s not that you should feel obligated to portray every part of an animal correctly, but in some cases these are very unique, interesting features that very few artists are ever utilizing creatively!

You inspired me….

Pure and perfect!!! Here I was revisiting the post only to consider adding even more facts about each. I will anyway!

*Some toads do have a *forked* tongue that works like a set of tongs.

*The sperm whale’s thin shape is how it can dive so deep so fast, cutting through the water.

*The whale’s weird jaw is for hooking squid tentacled. Its small throat is only for slurping those up.

*The blue ringed octopus can kill you, but the bite of other octopuses is merely a painful burn, which may be why it’s not common knowledge.

*Rabbits are freaks

*There are also jawless leeches that swallow whole prey such as earthworms, and leeches with a drilling proboscis that often specialize in hosts like turtles and crocodilians.

*Few arthropods have limbs ending in only a “point” other than certain crustaceans! In many spiders, the foot is simply very tiny.

*Some ticks are eyeless, relying entirely on the chemosensitive “hallers organs” in their legs. Ticks are the only animal group to jave these.

*Different leech species have different numbers and sometimes different arrangements if eyes, much like spiders, and there are some with eyes on their tail ends as well.

*Sea star abd leech eyes are both quite simple, mostly only detecting light.

*Only the box jellyfish have eyes, but they are actually complex ones with lenses that can make out shapes! Box jellies navigate catefully instead of drifting with the current. They are also the deadliest jellies :)

Bringin all this back (including the cute leech drawings) also I should have added that goats don’t have any upper front teeth either
