What's In My Bag

*the bag in question*

I have a bunch of pins on the front and my mallard keychain on the zipper

In the front pocket i keep my inhaler and inhaler chamber, my sunglasses, my mask and two stim toys: a squishy sugar malt ball and a keycap clicker

In the other pocket I have my medicine box, my wallet, my pouchie, and my trinket box

Inside my pouchie I have my earbuds, my lip balm and my key with my banana lip balm keychain and parks and forests tags

Inside my trinket box is a ring my mom got me for graduation, a shopkin, rainbow moonstone, a calico critter (Justin from the caramel dog family), a star and a dinosaur charm. This is a box that holds things I collect. I cycle through my things every month. This is just this months box is.

I also bring some things for bird identification. These are the current ones I carry.

I also have my headphones that I sometimes carry.

I also normally carry water and a snack. This is mostly what I keep in my bag and use on a daily basis.

hippos

did you know that hippos have red "sweat"?

alot of people's first thought is that the hippo is either bleeding or such but that's really not the case.

you see, hippos dont actually sweat. they dont have sweat glands. instead this discharge is being released from mucous glands.

this discharge acts as a kind of sunscreen for them, I mean, after all they do stand in direct sun for most of the day. the fluid is kinda like a skin moisturizer, water repellent, and antibiotic for them.

the fluid on the hippo appears red in full sunlight, but its actually a mixture of colours. the main pigments in this discharge is orange and red, and scientists actually have names for these coloured pigments.

the red pigement is called; "hipposudoric acid"

the orange pigment is called; "norhipposudoric acid"

the orange pigment will abodrb ultraviolet raditaion that is given off by the sun, while the red pigment acts as an antibody.

hippos skin is extremly sentisve to dying out and sunburn, so this oily discharges job is meant to help them with that.

New moth-may 29th, 2023

I went on the first outside checkie uppie today and found a moth. the moth is a moss moth or a green arches moth. it was hiding in a shaded spot on some brick. it was very cute and soft and fluttery.
