"The blacker the fur, the less dark danger looks while you wash. In blackness's habit is leadership shown forth; as silence only strengthens the purr."

Our indefatigable Manhattan worldgate-management team's leader, Rhiow—if today's not her day, then when?

Animal of the Day!

Indo-Pacific Sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus)

(Photo in public domain)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Indo-Pacific Ocean; Atlantic Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 100 kg; 3 m

Diet- Fish; Squid; Crustaceans

Cool Facts- The Indo-Pacific sailfish is the fastest fish in the world, clocking in at a maximum speed of 110 kilometers per hour in short bursts. Living in small schools, these sailfish are constantly on the move and in the search for schooling fish. Pushing the school of prey fish into a ball allows the Indo-Pacific sailfish to dart in, one at a time, with amazing speed. Contrary to popular belief, sailfish do not spear fish using their bills. Instead, they rapidly move their head back and forth as they swim through the school, injuring prey with the side of their bill. When the next sailfish dives into the school, the injured fish are snapped up.

Rating- 13/10 (Supreme swordfighter.)

I’ve just been THINKING about everything going on currently with Dracula daily and just the thought of poor Jonathan, who started out so gentle and kind being VIOLENT at the train station and how he has a mental breakdown, slowly gaslighting himself because maybe it wasn’t real, maybe he just got paranoid, and the sweet little nuns praying for him and loving him and being frightened by what this young man murmurs in his sleep……..And then we have Miss Lucy Westenra about to embark on her happily ever after, enjoying a hot girl summer with her bestie, now struggling to breathe and understand the strange and frightening thoughts she has while asleep…plus this frightening aspect of wanting to be awake, wanting to be more aware but she just…CANT…And MINA MY BABY trying to shoulder all this worry and responsibility while hella sleep deprived, and sleep deprivation can really mess up peoples perception of things, especially on a young lady who probably had a good sleep schedule prior. And just…anxious about not knowing what to do for Lucy, and as Mina’s personality seems to be a doer how much pain she must be in silently watching everything from the sidelines when she would FIX IT IF SHE COULD……JUST AHHHHHH all the feelings of how GOOD this books is and the Demeter and the townsfolk and I love and hate it all at once does anyone else just want to go feral over a book that came out over 100 years ago just akdhtkljjjdwwkkkyyygosjfnjfff

Everyone knows about the blackouts of 1965 and 1977 (and those more recent), but few realize that a 500-block section of Manhattan lost power for 13 hours on August 17, 1959. New Yorkers coped in different ways. Here in an automat, they dine by candlelight.

On This Day in Cryptid History

August 17th: In 1971, in Palos Verdes, California, two people claimed to have seen sentient brain like creatures, that were blue and surrounded in a vapor like obstruction. They described them to be the size of a softball, with a single red eye in their central lobe. One of the witnesses underwent hypnotherapy five years later, and claimed one of the brains talked to him.
