Funny how English doesn’t have a distinction like that even though we do for, like, “pork” vs. “pig” or “beef” vs. “cow”? I guess closest we have to “fish” (food only) is “seafood” but that feels a lot less specific.

I was not aware it was World Octopus Day! I guess I'd better post an octopic then... here's a coconut octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus) from Lembeh. Not as awesome as a GPO but fun to watch nevertheless! 🌿🦑 #Wildlife #Invertebrates

A brown octopus on a sandy seabed. It is covered in a network of fine, darker lines, and pale suckers are visible on its arms. The octopus is in a somewhat huddled position with its arms drawn in. A diver is visible watching it in the background.

Arms up if you love octopuses! 🐙🙋 #WorldOctopusDay⁠ ⁠ Deep-sea organisms use a variety of ways to swim. Most cephalopods, like this gliding Benthoctopus sp., have the ability to move by jet propulsion. This one was observed pulsing its arms and jetting gracefully through the water.

Coconut Octopuses (Amphioctopus marginatus) are known to use tools. They will carry around shells in order to deploy them as a mobile shelter. It's nice to have some armour when you're a soft and squishy mollusk They also are known to sometimes walk around on two limbs. Take that Plato! #OCTOtober

A Coconut Octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus) sitting in a horizontal bivalve shell on the sea floor, and it is lifting the top half of the shell with one arm. The octopus looks very annoyed, and is staring at the camera. The octopus is a dark brownish red, with light orange on the bottom of its arms and white suckers. The inside of the shell is white, and the outside of the shell has dark red or orange stripes alternating with white ridges.

A Coconut Octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus) inside a glass bottle trying to pull in a crab it has caught, but the crab is too big. The octopus has its arms outstretched and grabbing the sides of the bottle. The octopus is off white with some dark brown through its eyes. A lot of its suckers have a light blue tinge. There is a bivalve shell in the bottle. The crab is larger than the octopus. It appears to have a crack in its shell, probably where the octopus bit it. It is facing away from the camera. Its left arms and a small part of its body are pulled into the bottle. It has a mottled batter on its body with some blue at the ends of its arms. The sea floor is sandy.

A Coconut Octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus) hiding in a glass jar lying in the seabed. The photo is taken facing the opening. The octopus is sticking its head and the top of its arms out of the jar. The suckers are clearly visible and the octopus is giving puppy dog eyes. The rest of its arms and body is in the jar.

A Coconut Octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus trying to leave its collection of shells for a larger shell, which contains another coconut octopus. The first octopus is exposed, and is straddling between the two sets of shells. The original set appears to be three, smallish shells. Two arms are reaching into the new shell. The octopus is purple, with little beige bits breaking up the purple. Its sucked are visible. Its mantle is round. The second octopus is is sitting in two, large mismatched shells. It is quite snug, with its suckers holding on to both shells. It is purple, with a lavender colour around the eyes and white around the suckers.

I've just learned that Freeplay has removed me as a sponsor for Parallels due to an accusation from a speaker that I am a "zionist". Where did the speaker get this idea? Because Unpacking was included in a listicle in an online Jewish publication a few days ago. I didn't even know about the article.

We need people who will fight Trump. People this willing to say Trump and his allies are right about trans kids make it harder to trust that they’ll actually fight back once elected. A Democratic majority does nothing if those Democrats will vote against their own party without hesitation.

the polling is that way in part BECAUSE politicians and pundits keep telling voters this imaginary problem is real and urgent. AGREEING with Republican lies about trans people just benefits Republicans by convincing more people to buy into the right-wing moral panic.

If any of us wanted Republicans to win, we wouldn’t be criticizing Democrats doing things that WEAKEN the chances of Democratic victory! Telling voters that Republicans are right about the supposed dangers of trans athletes just makes the Republican anti-trans message even stronger!

Skye Barnick @skyebarnick.bsky.social · 14h

Okay, but she DOESN’T have an R by her name on the ballot. If your claim is correct, then transphobic rhetoric like this won’t even help her win over Republican voters, just demoralizes Democratic voters and reinforces the dangers facing trans kids in her state.

Bear in mind, this came out less than a year after “The Hunger Games” and “Brave” showcased a HUGE demand for stories with courageous, principled young female protagonists… and someone still went “you know what kind of Oz story we need today? One where the pathetic con man is the hero!”

Skye Barnick @skyebarnick.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It’s especially rough cuz the original Oz books are public domain and there’s no shortage of stories you could weave from that material even outside adaptations… and they went with “painfully straight love triangle with an amoral middle-aged male “hero” at its center.” Uninspired and uninspiring.
