50 Firefly Quotes

Today, while watching the BBC Life series I was mesmerized by many aspects of nature, but what stuck with me most was that a female octopus lays many many eggs (approximately 100 000) tends to them for six months. Caressing them, and just making sure the eggs are protected. During that time she doesn’t leave her den, Not once, so she doesn’t hunt for food which holds vital energy for her survival. During her pregnancy she thus, slowly starves herself to give the eggs a chance. On her last energy she apparently blows water over them to help them hatch and then she dies.

This sacrifice makes them (to me) one of the most devoted mothers in nature.

Oh and they also have 3 hearts and blue blood.
Absolutely fascinating…

Introducing Camp Autostraddle September 2012: Registration Is Wide Open

(via ohheygrace)

This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals—sounds that say listen to this, it is important.
