What are these two shells?

Had them since I was a little kid. I know the left is some sort of albacore but it's massive and red. Never knew what the right one was but I'm assuming some sort conch? Don't remember where I found them. And yes I know my wet specimens look bad lol they need new liquid. Anyone know what these two are?

Would it be rude/disrespectful to dress as Chinggis and Borte for Halloween?

As the title says me and my girlfriend would like to plan this year for Halloween and this is one I suggested and she seemed to like the idea of. For context I am not central Asian I'm a Latino in North America who is very interested in Eurasian steppe culture both past and contemporary. Would this be seen as okay or disrespectful/ignorant/rude? I wanted to ask before doing just in case out of respect and such

What are these sparkly things on my new pair?

Got these from capybara labs today and I noticed this pair has little glint fragments all over it? Ik its hard to tell in the picture but when I shine my phone light on it in person, it suddenly becomes a disco ball. What could this be?

edit: seller responded and she said it was lotion crystals. never heard of these before but she said they'll come off quickly once polishing starts

Me and my girlfriend's current walnut collection

I only have two pairs while she has three. She tends to go through different pairs more than most because she's fully blind and thus can't have the same visual satisfaction we get so she seeks new textures. She's actually the reason I got into this hobby was because I was looking for something to gift to keep her hands busy besides crocheting. After getting her a pair she got super into it which roped me in as well. She really appreciates the info from the community that I transcribe back to her. Anyways sorry for the ramble. What do you guys think of the collection?

Even if it was murder does it actually matter?

A lot of pro life people makes this argument that it's murder and while I don't think it's murder, would it actually matter if it was? Body autonomy must be protected at ALL costs. Whether it's someone who got sa,can't afford it, doesn't want it,is a minor,family genetic history or even if they have an abortion "fetish". At the end of the day our bodily autonomy has to be protected no matter the cost. This includes my own birth/existence as my mom told me before when I was really young she wanted to abort me. I was initially conflicted as I probably didn't understand what it meant at that time but as an adult even now I fully support my mom for wanting to do that. And I support anyone else who wants/wanted to do an abortion. Anyone else agree?

What helps?

M22 been doing with this since I was 17. Saw a urologist for a while but everything he gave was ineffective and I was tired of getting ultrasounds after already doing 3 separate ones. As for I'm sure most of you it's been extremely depressing and miserable process to have nothing help medication wise. I don't believe in supplement stuff but I'm really at my breaking point with it. I'm always so irritated and just focused on it and want a simple night's rest. It's also effected my drug usage as I was only using cannabis initially for mental health but it quickly became a overuseage once the pain and frequency started when I was 17. It's also super socially isolating when you can't even drink a sip from a beer without needing to pee every 2.5 seconds. Sorry this is a mix of vent/seeking advice ik im kinda rambling here. Any tips or advice would be heavily appreciated as this is something that makes me want to take a nap and never wake up from it ever again

TW (potential upsetting topic) I have been seeing this take recently and I feel it is extremely disrespectful/ignorant

As a bi man who has been both romantically and physically involved with women and men I find this incredibly disrespectful and ignorant. You'd think this was a one off thing but everyone in the comments are agreeing with her adding on aspects like that bi men "want all the flesh" and that we are just greedy. Am I the only one thinks this is messed up?

What strain/type is this?

Got these for my girlfriend's grandpa from zenwalnut on Etsy. He had accidentally posted a pair that was already sold so I bought those he asked for me to select a different one and I selected these which tbh probably would fit his hands better. But I forgot to save the info on these to know more about them. Anyone know?

edit: looked up the item code that I was given for it and this was the result " boutique set of 3-rib triangular Wenwan massage walnuts measuring 40x39mm, featuring the Nan Jiang Shi Stone Lion Head variety" so ig theyre lion heads

Is it worth getting 500 dollars worth of silver and another 500 dollars worth a gold per month?

Me and my girlfriend are in a very good place financially and we have more then enough surplus to start investing into non cash income such as this. But we don't know really anything about it and so this was my idea for the start of it but I don't know if it's good or not. What would you guys recommend? Excuse my ignorance I'm an actual fetus to this realm of investing

My Tengrism altar

Anything from other faiths were gifts from people throughout my life and such. I just like keeping it all together in one spot. Is there anything I could do to improve? I'm an American so excuse any ignorance as I've tried my best to research what's available in English and my second language Brazilian Portuguese but the latter basically doesn't exist and the prior only has so much. Would appreciate any tips and such and criticism if I'm doing something wrong

How to get Jew harp to stop hitting teeth?

Like title says I've gotten it down to the proper placement and sounds but I still hit my teeth pretty regularly. Not hard enough to break them or chip but it definitely ruins the flow. I'm pretty sure I've gotten the placement right so could it be just my teeth are a bad placement for them? I'm using a potkins beginner

Found a dead turtle in the front yard. Entire body is basically decomposed. Worth cleaning and keeping?

Dude was just in my yard this morning, looks like they got hit by a car or something but overall the shell is pretty intact. Worth cleaning and keeping?
