The insanity continues. War, bombs, and death. All so a select group of ppl can gain more wealth so that they can build bigger bombs to kill more ppl and destroy more of the planet. Fuck em all

She's got a cool pattern. Had to rescue her from a bucket. I said to be careful, but she said, "they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedooommmmm!!", winked, and then jumped. Or it went something like that

I wish I had a fancy bug camera, or just something better than a Samsung. iNat is telling me that's a Gea heptagon, but the only thing I know about spiders is that they are adorable. For all I know that could be Gretchen.

Tip on your socials if you want to escape unwanted DMs from bots and creepy ppl: make your PFP & name something stupid. For example, my TikTok name is Questionable Fart, and my PFP is a sea cucumber's butthole. I haven't gotten a DM from a stranger ever since I changed it 😉

Wtf is happening? This morning a dove landed on my head, a mouse almost climbed up my leg as if we've been buds for decades, & for the past 3 days lizards, spiders, & various flying insects that usually avoid me have landed on me. Someone take me to the sharks, I need to try out my new power!

I don't protest b/c I think I can change my country. I protest so that my country doesn't change me.

At least she listens (most of the time). Donnie is currently searching for snacks & doing other tortoise things after a hose bath. We've had so much rain lately that I woke to find a ball of mud with eyes

Went to the beach this morning to honor a loved one. Rip currents were plentiful so I didn't go out long enough to find crabs w/ my feet. The sediment is heavy here, making visibility bleh, so you have to use your body parts to feel for them (then put it right back where you found it).

Yay, I finally found this account here! They had a video of a weird worm ball some years back on Twitter that I'll never forget! An absolutely fantastic page to follow! #MarineLife

Among a dreamlike seascape of copepods and jellies, a rare heteropod (sea elephant)! Despite looking like the ghost a of a vengeful banana, with beady eyes and a long proboscis, they are a type of pelagic snail. Fin on its belly is its 'foot'.

I made a friend! I'm guessing robber fly, but when it landed I was a bit taken aback & trying not to terrify it. It stayed there for about 5 minutes, I guess mistaking me for a tree, but we had a good chat.
