Animal of the Day!

Ribbon Seal (Histriophoca fasciata)

(Photo by Josh London)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- North Pacific Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 1.8 m; 130 kg

Diet- Crustaceans; Fish; Cephalopods

Cool Facts- Ribbon seals have a massive amount of dependence on arctic sea ice. They almost never set flipper on the mainland, instead using sea ice to sleep, socialize, and give birth. Ribbon seals have a unique form of movement on the ice, slithering across like a snake and using their clawed flippers to drag themselves along in a graceful freestyle stroke. Males have a massive air sac that helps their calls to travel in the water while searching for a mate. When the environment is less than suited for a pup to be born, a mother ribbon seal can delay her pregnancy for up to four months. Pups are born completely white and are often left alone on an ice flow while their mother hunts. Predators are rare but the pup will play dead and wait for mom to return when faced by an orca circling their icy home.

Rating- 12/10 (The only species in their genus.)

12.04.23 || my 2023 book recap

My planner this year was a hobonichi weeks mega.

I use the monthly as my calendar, the weekly as my Japanese diary and to do list, and the notes pages as my commonplace and memory keeping.

This book has served me very well! I love that it’s chunked up a bit from the stickers and ephemera I’ve pasted in. Hoping to do a flip through video sometime early next year.

Next year my plan is to move into a hobonichi A6. I want more space to common place and memory keep. I’m moving my productivity tools (calendar and to do list) into a digital space. I use TickTick and Google Calendar - so the analog tools have become a bit redundant.

La Mode illustrée, no. 51, 23 décembre 1877, Paris. Toilettes de Madame Fladry, 43, rue Richer. Collection of the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands

Toilette d'intérieur. Robe princesse en tissu de laine jardinière nuance ardoise. La garniture se compose d'un large galon fond noir, bordé de plusieurs teintes pareilles aux couleurs du tissu de laine; ce galon est posé de façon à simuler sur le corsage une sorte de plastron, et sur la jupe un assez long paletot, et sur le bord inférieur des manches un haut revers. Sous le bord inférieur de la robe princess se trouve un volant plissé de même étoffe; au-dessus de ce volant, la jupe est quelque peu drapée sur le côté gauche sous un large nœud de ruban.

Toilette de visites. Le devant de la robe, depuis le cou jusqu'aux pieds, est fait en satin olive. Le corsage est plat, les devants sont légèrement bouillonnés. La grande polonaise, ouverte sur le devant de satin, est faite en velours ciselé olive et nuance paon; le devant des manches est en ce même velours, et leur dessous en satin. Un biais de satin olive borde tous les contours de la polonaise. Sous la polonaise, fendue sur les côtés, se trouve un faux jupon couvert de satin, lequel apparaît entre les fentes.

—

Indoor ensemble. Princess dress in slate shade garden wool fabric. The trim consists of a large black braid, bordered with several shades similar to the colors of the wool fabric; this braid is placed in such a way as to simulate a sort of plastron on the bodice, and on the skirt a fairly long overcoat, and on the lower edge of the sleeves a high lapel. Under the lower edge of the princess dress is a pleated flounce of the same fabric; above this flounce, the skirt is somewhat draped on the left side under a large ribbon bow.

Visiting ensemble. The front of the dress, from the neck down, is made of olive satin. The bodice is flat, the fronts are slightly bubbled. The large polonaise, open on the satin front, is made in olive and peacock shade chiseled velvet; the front of the sleeves is in this same velvet, and their underside in satin. A bias of olive satin borders all the contours of the polonaise. Under the polonaise, slit on the sides, is a false petticoat covered in satin, which appears between the slits.

Those pictures of aesthetic bookshelves where all the books look fresh off the press and the pages are blinding virgin white and u know they smell of sawdust, they are so uncanny to me. Like a monoculture forest. Where is your ecosystem diversity???

#growing up at least 75% of my books were second hand #which I think is the healthy ratio #you need your books to be yellow and sweet smelling and maybe have someone else's pencil markings on it and the title page torn out #december 23 #sifleáil

Prompt - Urge

@jegulus-microfic December 23 Word count 185

He’d been fighting the urge for the last half an hour. It was getting to be too much. Just looking at James’s face made him want to do it all the more. 

Fight the urge Regulus. Fight it! He kept repeating to himself internally. 

“I’m going back to the dorm.” He told Barty and Evan as he stood up from the Slytherin table. He walked between their two tables. The urge became overwhelming as James started cracking another joke that had his brother and friends in riotous laughter. 

He was next to James. He gave in to his urge. He slapped James right across the face without breaking stride. James held his cheek in shock, mouth wide open. Sirius jumped up out of his seat. 

“Regulus Arcturus Black, what the hell was that about?!” He yelled after his brother. Regulus ignored him, exiting the hall and heading to the stone steps that led to the dungeons. It could have been worse, dear brother. I could have given in to my other urge. He smirked to himself, imagining their faces if he’d kissed James Potter instead.
