Cave life's not all bad for olms. They live *exceptionally* long lives for an amphibian (100 yrs!), possibly arising from the fact that they have no natural predators & have been known not to move for up to 7 years.

Just tiny pink dragons guarding their tiny water-filled caves for a century. 🐉💧
One blind, aquatic salamander may have sat mostly still for seven years
Olms may live for about century and appear to spend their time moving sparingly.

sadly, this is not unique to this administration. for decades, the US has withheld ratification of many UN human right treaties that most other countries have ratified, including protecting the rights of children - indicators.ohchr.org

because the people making these decisions have never stood in line for anything or had to show ten kinds of proof to verify a need or be the one to interact with tired and strained systems full of tired and strained people doing their best

my wife uses the split keyboard and it definitely looks like it has a positive impact on her posture. to the point that I tried it. but I’m in the process of collapsing inward like a dying star and have no patience so I gave it up quick.

and, 42, buy our advil at costco.

Axolotls can regenerate severed nerves, damaged brain regions, and there's a lot for us to learn about how that works & possibly use it to improve human health.

But at the heart of it all is just a simple fact:
Axolotls are baby.
Axolotls can regrow limbs. Could they one day help us do the same?
A better understanding of how these amphibians grow new appendages may lead to better wound healing—or even new limbs—in humans.
