Meet the stoplight loosejaw! It's one of three species of fish (the other two are in the same family, Stomiidae, the dragonfishes) that can produce red bioluminescence; since red light from the sun doesn't penetrate to the depths the loosejaw lives in, its prey fish can't see it. So the stoplight loosejaw has an invisible flashlight for hunting.
Bonus: it's the only animal that uses chlorophyll, and it uses it to see the red light that it emits.

I had to change my pants when I got home-- they got soaked just from the rain escaping my umbrella-- I didn't even splash in any puddles!!
Elite Dangerous beginner guide
So the game has pretty shitty tutorialization. This guide is a pretty comprehensive overview of a lot of the mechanics in ED.

Elite Dangerous is still super pretty. Also those rings aren't just a sprite; if you fly close you drop out of warp and they're an actual endless expanse of rock/ice chunks. https://awoo.space/media/IG1Z9Y463BgG7q5A9Dk
It's #FollowFriday! Here are my suggestions for new folks looking for more content to consume:
• Get ✨consent✨ from people before you suggest them to others!
• For those of you not hosting your own instance, check out your local timeline! If your local timeline isn't helpful, check out the federated timeline!
• Don't be afraid to interact with people you see in public timelines- but always check profiles first before interacting just in case. Most of us are here to be friendly & social! ♥️
As a sidenote here, while discussing myths in terms of cultural/socialization utility (i.e. hey we have a myth to teach a lesson about how to behave) is sometimes an interesting lens, I find it *painfully* limiting when it's the only lens used. It's even worse when myths are framed as *only* existing for cultural utility.
I'm still going on about Elite Dangerous
Apparently I somehow completely missed the black hole when I visited Maia :( :(
