Weird pupils let octopuses see their colorful gardens

Image
Cephalods are colorblind allowing them to only see black and white but they are known to change color to blend in the with their surroundings and attract a mate so how is this possible? The octopuses have a weird pupil in the shape of a "W" and "U" which allows it to see color using chromatic aberration. Their vision is blurry and some colors are easier to pick up on(blue and yellow) while others are harder(white/light colors). Although they only have one photoreceptor it is beneficial to them because it allows them to see in dim lighting and tell colors apart. https://news.berkeley.edu/2016/07/05/weird-pupils-let-octopuses-see-their-colorful-gardens/

Satisfied Aunty

SatisfiedAunty was once just a normal girl growing up trying to find herself and who she was. Hindering her from doing so was her moms friends(known as aunties in her culture) who constantly critiqued her, ranging from not eating enough to eating too much. She never found a way to please the aunties and started to become unsatisfied with herself. When she grew up and leveled up to an aunty for younger girls she found it a mission to reverse normalized standards and stand as a strong supporter for little girls who once like her are confused and lost. She uses her judgment to uplift other girls and decision skills to know when to critique and not. She is always satisfied with everyone but won't hold back to use her judgement to help others. Her strong drive and motivation to create a healthier community bounces off on aunties who uses judgment for evil. She is simultaneously integrating her beliefs into the culture and helping younger girls find themselves. Frontal lobe+dopamine

In 4th grade after seeing all the high schoolers play in the field next to the elementary I became obsessed with soccer. I asked my dad to sign me up for lessons. On the first day of soccer lessons I get out of the car and notice my dad doing the same instead of driving away. He was dressed up with a whistle. Turns out he signed himself up to be my coach. It was a weird experience, but nonetheless enjoyed the sport for another year until I was bored of losing. After a couple years the piano became boring and I switched to playing the ukulele, guitar, and singing. I joined my church's  worship team as a backu...

 Hey, I'm Jessica welcome to my blog! During the peaks of Covid I became obsessed with interior designing and starting new projects. Whenever I had no motivation to work on them I would bake, draw, and read. Here's a picture of me decorating a gingerbread house that fell apart moments later.
