seventy-five-percent-water:

Gymnosomata, commonly known as Sea Angels. An apt name- the sea angels are the ethereal, translucent, fluttering angels of the sea. 

In hard scientific terms, they’re small swimming sea slugs, but we’ll pass over that for now and just admire how delicately beautiful these wonderful creatures are.

skarsgardianangel: romannoodles: madnessinthemusic: duce-juice: Can someone from the sciencey side of tumblr please explain this ? This is called shape memory. It’s made from an alloy of titanium and nickel (I believe it’s called nitinol). It has the ability to “remember” the shape it’s taken. When cold you can bend it whatever which way, but once you heat it (or in this case put it in what I presume is hot water) it will take the original shape. WHAT!!?!?!?!?

wantonforwontons: So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she’s never been. She’s got 8 years of art education and she’s working a waitress job. It’s pretty… Sad and disappointing, I guess. Her and my father divorced 6 years ago and she hasn’t had a real job ever. Just been stuck in a small town she’s not from. This man who we have never seen before tipped her 1000 dollars for a trip to Italy. Walked out, not another word. Why does’t this have more notes
