I recently read about Tardigrades, also called water bears, they are micro-animals that survive things most organisms wouldn’t even make it through halfway.
When conditions get extreme; dehydration, radiation, freezing, heat etc. they enter a state called cryptobiosis. That means they shut down almost all biological functions. No metabolism, no movement.
In this state, they’re called tuns. They can stay like that for years.
Then when water is added, they pick up where they left off like it’s nothing.
They’ve survived space exposure, temperatures from just above absolute zero to over 150°C, and pressure levels that would crush submarines.
They’re not strong in the usual way. They’re just built for their environment.
Adam, don’t trust Nigel, he’s a bastard. He called me a fucking liability

I feel as though I’ve been inadvertently dragged into a personal conflict.
Good to hear from you though, Tonny
Best of luck with the move, and don't forget to breathe!! I know moving can be enervating, and it's tempting to just shut everything off. I make that mistake sometimes, so you're not alone. You have a great group of friends, and you're a wonderful person, Adam! I hope you have a really good rest of your day. :)
This message reminded me of someone I know..
Although it’s not groundbreaking, you’re right—breathing is something I have to do more intentionally. Thank you for your words. I feel a lot warmer around my heart now, in the metaphorical sense.
I hope you have a nice day or night!, depending on where you live.
I have received questions, but I am unable to answer some of them.
I am not sure why. If you have sent something and do not see a response, it is likely due to a technical issue rather than intentional avoidance.
Is Nigel a Sheep or a Wolf ?
Nigel is a Human.
If you are asking what I think he’d be if he was an animal , which you should’ve worded more precisely , I think he’d be a dog.
But I can’t say for certain.
I’m not sure if there’s anything being hidden. I’d like to think there isn’t. I trust Abigail—she’s my friend.
I don’t feel strongly one way or the other about Dr. Lecter. He’s a good psychiatrist. My feelings don’t really change what’s real, though. Maybe you should ask Dr. Lecter about it yourself. You seem like you’d be good at that.
Also I’m not sure what you mean by ‘delicate elegance.’..I don’t focus on appearance, just the practical aspects of things. I suppose if you’re referring to my manner?, I do try my best to remain composed.
I like Botticelli‘s art though.
Thank you for the compliment, Nigel
Ți-e drag rău Will, nu-i așa? Ai grijă pe lângă pe lângă psihiatrul ăla, totuși. Trec multe zvonuri despre el
(Ooc: translation because most services don't do it well: Will's dear to you, eh? Be careful around that psychiatrist, though. Many rumours flying around him)
Știu foarte bine... Dar îți mulțumesc.
Good luck with talking to Beth 🤞
If it goes south, just make sure you take care of yourself first.

Thank you. It went well.
You need to dump Beth. She's an asshole.
Beth spends time with me. I don’t always understand her, but I think she means well…
I haven’t had the chance to look for raccoons yet, but there are squirrels in a park nearby.
I don’t like the filter Beth put on this picture, but the squirrel was fascinating.
