Mindless Musings

As a reminder, he's suing Caroline Wallner, one of his accusers, for breaking her NDA. Not for libel. He's saying she shouldn't have told anyone about it, not that she lied.

He doesn't need the money. He's risking the Streisand effect. He is punishing Caroline, he's trying to intimidate other victims who have signed NDAs to scare them into continued silence.

He is no friend to women, to the LGBTQIA+ community, to anyone quite frankly unless he thinks they are of value to him.

I AM NOT A HANDLE.

My shell is not where you grab me.

WRONG WAY

*person grabbing snail by its shell*

<- Mantle - Delicate tissue connecting body to shell

<- Foot - Creates powerful seal to surface

<- Shell - Not a handle

<- The Seal - Breaking it by force breaks the snail

Grabbing shell and yanking off surface:

-> Tears delicate mantle

-> Causes internal collapse

-> Can be fatal

RIGHT WAY

1. Touch shell gently *example given of a person gently placing a finger on its shell*

2. WAIT for snail to retract *snail retracted into its shell with an hourglass above it*

3. Lift SLOWLY once released *hand picking up snail in its shell from the ground*

4. Place in direction it was heading. *Snail travelling along on the ground, following an around in front of it. A big green checkmark is above it.*

30 extra seconds = the difference between rescue and injury.

Be a real snail-saver.

End image description and begin me rage quitting the universe because all this effort to make it accessible and it turns out to be AI generated and full of misinformation.

Anyways, enough with the dramatics, here's a link with more information:

If I remember correctly (i queue posts months in advance on here), this blog post was one of the first links in my internet search on snails and this image.

I have a strong squick about snails (and slugs), so I will admit I probably didn't look as closely as I normally do.

The image is still probably at least partially AI generated as far as I can tell and if so that still makes the information it provides as suspect, even if it turns out to be correct information.
