The behavior of some cephalopods is quite bizarre, sometimes almost alien-like. The mimic octopus is a small eight-armed cephalopod that often imitates highly toxic, poisonous or bad-tasting animals. By pretending to be these undesirable animals, the mimic octopus successfully discourages would-be predators from attacking it. What is unique about the mimic octopus is its ability to impersonate several different animals and quickly switch between various disguises. And it can do so while moving. (Other octopuses stay still and camouflage themselves to look like their surroundings). 📍 Amed, Bali 🇮🇩 Video by: @fab.aroundtheglobe

"But why can I recycle my paper coffee cup in Seattle and not in Tacoma?" ❓

Only a few specialized recycling facilities in the country (including Washington D.C., San Francisco, and our friends up in Seattle) have the ability to recycle this type of single-use paper coffee cup. These cups are actually lined with plastic, which is great for preventing leaks...but makes recycling very difficult and expensive!

Here in Tacoma, single-use paper coffee cups and the lid go in the garbage.

Does your city allow paper coffee cups in the recycling bin?

😅😅

We can’t believe how many people still litter…😞

Seems some things never change. 40 years ago, September 1983 to be exact, and .magazine nailed the cover art concept by artist Georg Woodbridge.

Many thrift stores do not accept child equipment. Please consider donating these items to The Wishing Well Foundation (WA). Your donation helps local families who foster children.

Fast fashion influencers never tell the whole story...

There are so many trends going around social media at the moment where people are decanting spices into little spice jars, and various liquids into aesthetically pleasing containers, and storing their produce using multiple plastic items… which all looks beautiful but in reality, do we actually need these things? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for buying beautiful things to have in your home, that’s what my whole account is about! I just can’t bring myself to jump on this trend. And believe me, as a content creator I’ve felt pressure to jump on the trend from various brands wanting me to create this sort of content. I do, however, like taking things that I already have and making them look better or more cohesive in a space. Or, if you want to have a nice looking container for something, then something more sustainable would not only look great (I personally think that sustainable materials generally look better) but it would also be better for the environment. So instead of decanting everything into other containers, another option is to do little things like peel off the labels on bottles that actually look nice anyway! Same with the spices, they’re usually in little glass jars anyway, and if you shop in the same supermarket, then they will all be cohesive and clearly labelled. If you really don’t like them, then try peeling off the labels and replacing them with something else. As always, do as you wish in your own home. Hopefully this just gives you an alternative to buying lots of containers for items that already come in containers. #kitchenstorage #kitchenorganisation #kitchenorganization
