For #WorldJellyfishDay it’s a smack of jellyfish!

The collective noun for a group of jellyfish is a “smack”. This amuses me, because I imagine them smacking their tentacles together in some sort of deepsea high five. To be honest, marine biologists speak of ‘blooms’ and we do tend to lump in a bunch of soft-bodies marine creatures into the term jellyfish, all of the gelatinous zooplankton in fact.... but ‘a smack of jellyfish’ is 🧵

Since today is #WorldJellyfishDay, my #MusicForToday is

I'd like to be a jellyfish
'Cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk
With some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm
Clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune
Life without a brain

It appears to be World Jellyfish Day! (No, I did not know that was a thing, either.) So why not post Jellystrings? MerJellyfish playing the, uh, Jello. Black, brown, and white pencils on toned paper #art #drawing #jellyfish #worldjellyfishday #jellyfishday
