A giant clam can top 200 kg and live over a century, but it barely feeds. It farms algae in its colorful mantle, living on the sugar they make in sunlight. Its blue-green cells act like lenses, aiming light at the captive gardens inside. Sunlight built this giant. 🧪 #HowToBuildAGiant #marinelife

For those who haven't heard of this yet, the fastest/easiest way to reduce indoor air pollution from wildfire smoke is to get a basic 20x20 box fan, and slap a single 20x20 air filter (make sure it's very high MERV) on the back. No tape or anything, it just sticks to the back of the fan.

There's always something you can do, in your corner of the landscape, to help. It may feel overwhelming at times - and there's definitely a lively market in despair when failing, often repeatedly, to do a good deed - but nature usually rewards perseverance in the end. It then makes you want more. \2

The shells of deep-sea snails are often paper-thin, and not by accident. Building a thick shell takes calcium carbonate, calcium carbonate takes energy, and at depth there’s barely enough food to run a body, let alone armor it. The deep sea is full of animals that simply can’t afford to be sturdy.

Thanks to @zoomburst.substack.com for filling the #PoemsAbput space with #OddFriday #PoemsOn #OpportunityKnocks Ob portum veniens (coming toward a port) is a Latin phrase used when a favorable wind blew ships safely toward the harbour. Over time, this evolved into the English word "opportunity".
Opportunity The harbour appears slowly, first a rumour of land, then a breakwater,
then lights.
A wind inclining itself
toward arrival.
All our lives
such moments come.
A friendship.
A vocation. A door opening
in an ordinary afternoon.
The harbour does not choose us.
The wind does not compel us. Opportunity lives in the small turning, the quiet consent
to make for harbour.
