Octopi camouflage to hunt, avoid predation and more. They use muscles to control chromatophores' pigment sacs, to display different colors and brightness. They also use muscles to change their body shape and to control papillae to alter skin texture.

If I post the same thing on Twitter and BlueSky the difference of comments is absolutely wild!
On Twitter I’m told things like, “you ruin kids lives, you are greedy, you are a POS”
vs
Here, where people say things like “thank you for advocating for your students!”

So let’s be sure to uplift and amplify each other in a purposeful and meaningful capacity. Many left the other platforms due to the manipulation of the algorithm for engagement purposes.
One thing I'm still learning (and need to remind myself of often) is this: b/c the Bluesky algorithm isn't capitalism focused, engagement here doesn't work the same way it does in other spaces. We must actually REPOST content to boost it. Likes are lovely, but don't affect visibility. #tlsky #edusky

Can Children's Books Keep Aging Minds Engaged?
At age 91, my mom stopped reading. When I gave her a picture book, she started reading again.
