In the early days ALL WAS ONE and the name of all things was LUCA. The BACTERIA made their own little bilayer membranes and fucked off to colonize the earth. And of the remaining children the EUKARYOTES were infected by the virus of centralization and so their nuclei grew apart. But what of those uncorrupted by the world? WHAT OF THE ARCHAEA?
Human beings, the most wise and talented of all creation, are set upon by all of our brethren. All manner of arthropods and worms turn upon us or within us; we play host to their larvae and provide an ecosystem for their revelling rabblerousers. We have ENTIRE SPECIES of LICE and mites and all manner of single celled eukaryotes, and of COURSE, the bacteria, those far-flung defectors, and those most ancient and truest enemies of all, the VIRUS, enemy of self-sustaining life, the purest of demons.
But one has declined to abuse us. It is the ARCHAEA. What does it know?
It sups in strange pools and the human body is but a chain of pools, each stranger than the last. BUT IT REFUSES TO YIELD. This is due to its STRONG MORAL CORE.
We think it is like us, that we are fit to call ourselves its brother. But are humans not corruptors too? DO WE NOT ONLY SUP UPON THE LABORS OF ANOTHER? They are better than us.
You may think we should offer this up. Should we not open up our hearts for these? No, we must not. For this will corrupt them too.
Purity is not for us. Unsullied goodness is not for us. Our work is in a different world.
Blessed are they, the chemotrophs, the photosynthesizers. Amen.

inspected some more deceased Daphnia underneath the microscope today, and saw this little hungry bastard - around 10-20 ฮผm in length and actively eating the carcass and little tidbits around it. I'm thinking it's some kind of rotifer? but its sooo small. baby rotifer? I could watch these little things for hours. Look at his little "tails"!
EDIT: someone pointed out that I accidentally called this little guy unicellular! I was writing a lab report about unicellular organisms while making this post - I meant to say if not a rotifer maybe a unicellular eukaryote. Maybe donโt do three to four things at once and write a tumblr post at the same time

There were literally millions of these little single-celled cones in a tiny pond. They looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't place them, until I remembered I had seen them in a Journey to the Microcosmos video: https://youtu.be/PZoaKzEXzi8?si=UJcSJc8B844mj5KA
True/False: Neutrophils are the first phagocytic cells to arrive at the site of invasion.
Not art, but this is my first time ever looking at protists under my microscope so i am pretty happy about it
