Cover Snark: Crabs, Gynos, & Dragons – Oh My
by Amanda · Nov 24, 2025 at 2:00 am · View all 6 comments
Welcome back to Cover Snark!
Elyse: Is this a PSA?
Tara: Or a how-to guide? Do you need hats and/or scarves to transport the crabs after you catch them?
Sarah: Gloves, too.
Tara: Oh yeah, the tiny ones can go in the fingers.
Claudia: Hmm my mind went to pubic crabs, I’m so sorry…
Sarah: Oh, me, too. I figured that was why their hair was covered.
(snip-go read this, it’s hilarious!)

Music For Peace
I can’t believe this month is past half over! Anyway, I think the guys here will particularly enjoy Bee’s selection for Wednesday, “Peace Somehow.” It sounds like it fits with other music the guys have posted, genre-wise.
As Bee participates in the bloggers’s Global Strike For Gaza, here is her Thursday Peace Music post early (not to us, of course, as it’ll be Thursday when this post goes up.) Bee’s message with this one is important for each of us to take to heart.
My selection for today:
Josh Day Next Day
All the keyboard protection alerts. Enjoy!
Music For Peace
This time, Bee gives us music with which we might find peace within. It’s nice! Her words are inspiring for seeking peace.
I’ve been wanting to play this one, and today is the day. Rock on, peace out!
Music For Peace
Bee’s post is eloquent! There is/was not a video in the post, but she named the song, and gives great background on the artist and the song. I checked YouTube, found the one I hope is the right one, and posted it beneath Bee’s entry here. She has posted this one in the past; I recall it. It’s beautiful and perfectly expressive. Well worth a repeat listen!
I can’t follow this one! I’ll do it tomorrow. ☮

Last week when I was flying home I was scanning the ocean because I’m always certain that I’ll see Godzilla or a sea serpent if I look hard enough, but instead I saw a rainbow from the plane window and it was a perfect circle over the ocean. I was so excited I hit my head on the window and scared the person behind me. I didn’t have time to capture it on my phone but I shook Victor awake and was like, “YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW OUTSIDE THE WINDOW” and he said, “Was it a colonial woman churning butter on the wing?” and I was like, “…yep…that’s exactly what it was” because a circular rainbow feels anticlimactic after that guess.
Aaanyway, that leads to this week’s drawing, which I’m fairly certain counts as a scientific illustration:
Sending you love, rainbows and godzilla hugs,

Music For Peace
Bee has a fine one for us all!
My selection is one many young adults at the time took as an anthem; it was a very real every day concern then, and that concern does seem to be back with us now, though maybe people aren’t as concerned as before. There is good reason for concern, and for de-proliferation, and peace.
And now, the music. I’m putting both the German version (best one!) and the English language version, which is also just fine to dance to. “You can’t dance and stay uptight.”
“Take The Humane Course”
Music For Peace
Two from Bee; she participates in the blog strike on Thursdays, for Gaza. Both excellent pieces; one from Pink, one from Alicia Keys, each with some info about the artist and her music.
Here’s my selection for today:
