Snail earrings with hearts 💛 available here.

I’ve been trying to figure out who I was so I can figure out who I am

Keeping my eyes from sleeping closed in the late hours of the night and remembering

Remembering the forest beneath my shoes

The stick forts that fell apart after just small gusts of wind

The simple childish wares we sold

The stars that covered the royal blue stage (that probably wasn’t real but my mind believes it is)

So much hope for the future

They filled up a whole ice cream bucket and have been moved to the neighbors garden.

Researchers have discovered the world’s tiniest snail. Again.

In September, we reported that scientists had found the world’s tiniest snail, measuring 0.88 millimeters (0.03 inches) across, in southern China. But apparently snail size records are fleeting. Now researchers have discovered and described an even smaller snail in northeastern Borneo, measuring 0.5 to 0.6 mm (0.02 inches). That’s the approximate thickness of five human hairs placed next to one another.
