This is little beastie is known as a Portuguese Man o’ War. If you see one, make sure you run up to it and run your fingers all over it, especially on its underside. Tangle your fingers in it. Kiss it. Tell it how much it means to you. It will hurt, but nothing worth doing is ever easy. The pain will be a cleansing and purifying experience. Euphoria awaits you!
You will not regret it. You will not regret it. Yuou will not regret this.
I looked her up because I was like “surely there’s context behind this, right???” Long story short, she saw the little thing washed up on the beach and it was still alive, scooped it up in a cup and put it in a bucket full of salt water for the night, then released it back into the ocean the next day (I believe she said the currents were strong that night and that’s why it was washed up in the first place)
She also looked up how to take care of one, even just overnight, so perhaps she wasn’t being as stupid (for lack of better word) that it looks like? Idk, I hope the video link worked so y'all can see the video of her giving context for it. Also please don’t come after me and start fights, my intention isn’t for people to start fighting with each other over this, just to help get the full story out there. Nonetheless, do be careful with wildlife. She makes the point at the end that we need to help conserve the earth and protect the species that share it with us, so at least her heart is in the right place, I guess?
I’ve seen so many people being mean to her but yeah she understood the danger and still wanted to help a living thing, which is good and nice. They hurt but they aren’t typically deadly.
Also, they are colonial animals, each made up of many simple specialized bodies (each tentacle grows from one) cloned from one another, not “random masses of tissue” or “multiple species living together” or the many other wildly messed up explanations I keep seeing : (

“sex scenes have no narrative purpose” is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody
“what’s the purpose of sex scenes in media??” well you see sometimes people have sex. sometimes it can be important even
yeah ok but i dont wanna watch straight sex scene number 1231234837582 in the middle of some movie thats clearly not fucking high art or anything, like please, tell me how the sex scene made jason X a deeper movie ill wait
you genuinely think that “the sex scene in Jason X, the movie about jason from Friday the 13th killing people in space, is bad” is a rebuttal to this point? like genuinely? genuinely? like you think that’s the kind of sex scene I was talking about in the original post? you think when I’m talking about the artistic merit of sex scenes in movies you think I’m talking about the bit with the dominatrix in Jason X (2001) dir. James Isaac, the movie where Jason from Friday the 13th gets put in cryosleep and wakes up in the future on a spaceship where he starts killing people in outer space? you genuinely think this is the kind of movie and scene I’m referring to when I’m arguing for the potential artistic value of a type of scene? Jason X? Jason X? the one with Jason on a spaceship? you think that “well Jason X, the movie about Jason on a spaceship killing people in space, is bad” is a rebuttal to my point? Jason X? Jason X? J
