We’ve got two new paintings and two new sets of earrings!

This beautiful auriga butterflyfish features Stuart Semple’s new BLACK 3.0! The blackest black paint in the world! It absorbs 99% of light, and it honestly looks like I painted with a black hole!

Don't touch jellyfishes, even if they're dead, they can still sting you.

Awh, I always thought they were so pretty and had no idea they could be harmful

Can someone transcribe this? The water is really loud.

“Hey everybody! Here we are in the southern Appalachian mountains. We have a pristine Montane stream ecosystem, as you can see all around us here. I thought I’d make an educational video this morning. It involves this practice right here [gestures to rock pile]. As our national parks and national forests fall victim to human pressure, more than ever, this is something we’re seeing more and more of. Hopefully we can make this video go viral. This stream, as you can see around us right here, is a breeding ground for North America’s largest salamander, the Eastern hellbender. They can get up to 2.5-3 feet long. It’s part of our natural heritage in the eastern United States. When people do this right here - what they consider to be art - they’re actually destroying the breeding ground for the Eastern hellbender salamander. The Eastern hellbender will use flat rocks such as these to make nesting sites in these streams. So here’s what I would like everybody to do. If you care about our Montane stream freshwater ecosystems like this one around us here, when you see something like this, this is what I recommend doing: [kicks down rock pile]. Take the rocks, throw them back into the stream. The Eastern hellbender utilizes rocks like this. It actually feels pretty good to do this! [walks to other pile] This is not actually art, okay? This is destruction of our freshwater ecosystems. So I would like to encourage everyone: when you see this [gestures to second rock pile], do this! [kicks pile] I’d like to return our streams to their natural state for the organisms that live here. Thanks, and have a good day.”

we paid for public services, we want those public services to be accessable to us we also paid for a shitload of bombs and corporate bonuses, but the people recieving that ‘free stuff’ seem to be fine with it only when it goes to them, not to the needy

  I’m officially doing a casting call for Between the Stars!  All necessary characters for the first few episodes only for now plus one for the trailer.  Please note that currently all main characters are female. This is volunteer only though hopefully in the future it can be paid.    Check out the discord server for more info on lines and characters.

Hello! I'm fully changing my shop, Bells Shells and Spells, over to my photography gallery's site and entirely deleting my Etsy August 1st.

According to the analytics, Etsy brings in less than 5% of my traffic. All other traffic is brought in via external links that I’ve generated and shared myself. Why am i paying Etsy to list items and take money from my sales when I’m doing all the work anyways?

Etsy is a fine site, and very convenient for businesses, but due to the oversaturation of mass producers, small businesses like mine are drowning.

I will be updating all links on all forums slowly this week, but i will not close my Etsy out until August 1st. The final location of my new shop will be announced on Saturday! Thank you for being with me during this change!

If you’re into water magic of any kind and especially weather and storm magic, I highly recommend this little book. Easy to read, good reference and one of my faves.
