I have started work on Microbe, a foss microblogging wasm appliance which will be genericized, when finished, into the basis for Trimaran. This tool will be tested with a specevo project Im working on with @potionslushie and an alternative blog for @rickybabyboy

i found another specimen of a super rare organism yesterday!
this is a rare and remarkable ciliate, a single-celled organism called Metopus verrucosus.
a few neat facts about it:
it’s an anaerobic organism! this means it prefers to live without oxygen
it lives deep in the mud of sulfur- & methane-rich bodies of saltwater. this one was found in the salt marsh estuary on the side of the garden state pkwy in south New Jersey!
it couldn’t survive in these noxious conditions by itself, though! the fuzzyness covering it’s cell is actually a type of bacteria that symbiotically lives on M. verrucosus.
this bacteria has the ability to metabolize sulfur and/or methane, processing these volatile stinky chemicals and turning it into energy, that it then shares with M. verrucosus!
i’m the only known person with this kind of footage of M. verrucosus! the paper The Santa Barbara Basin is an Oasis of Symbiosis has the only other photo i’ve seen of this organism, and it’s actually an HVEM (electron microscope) photo of a cross-section of the cell showing it’s endosymbiotic bacteria.

here are some more photos i took of other specimens:

Truth be told, I'm not really into furry\anthro characters and I like humanid characters better. I just know how to draw furries, that's all.
But it looks like I've found my most favorite anthro character that I have now.

[ID: two pieces featuring a yellow microbe character with a green center, green "frills" around its body, and a string-like tail with a green orb-shaped ornament at the end. the first is a white page with four small scanned pencil drawings of the character that were digitally colored. the second is a painting of the character with a soft brush on a pale yellow background with specks around it like debris on a microscope slide. /end ID]

I've been reorganizing how I'm thinking about my projects so its more flexible, right now I have a pool of 4 immediate projects: y232 update, Sonnet prototype, @rickybabyboy game, and Microbe, Ill pick one every week day and work through my checklist. I'm also putting y232 and Sonnet on special priority because frankly Ive been trying to get to y232 for quite a bit and Sonnet is very relevant and with what I've learned about Wasm I think I can make the prototype very useful and that will also provide the backbone for other p2p projects like AstralBud and my project to make a p2p web for trimaran sites.
y232: video downloading utility, primarily for youtube but works with most yt-dlp compatible sites
Sonnet: peer to peer self hosted social network
Microbe: foss microblogging wasm appliance

"...an artificial microbe designed to serve as a robust, shelf-stable, universally compatible blood replacement for blood transfusion ... On a macroscopic scale, the blood replacement resembles a thick purple-red fluid ... Omniblood cells contain nuclei and are ovioid in shape, superficially resembling the blood of Terran reptiles and birds. The cilia are used for weak locomotion in external environments.​ Hydrated omniblood cells are nucleated, purple-red, ovoid and 20 μm long, with short cilia and a thick peptidoglycan cell wall. They are designed to survive in blood plasma, ideally in pH 7.25-7.45, and contain hemoglobin and a hemocyanin-like protein in high concentrations. This allows them to serve as highly efficient oxygen carriers. Once injected into a host, the cells survive in the circulatory system, acting as blood cells, for 2-4 weeks. They are then broken down by the body and filtered out by the kidneys..."

All right, guys. I stayed up until 6 am, but only to finally finish my terraline design! I've decided to call it Vidcund. Ironic, right? Anyway, I'm very happy with the result!
