Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Tits or ass? Bro, the way the forest seems to quiet when she walks. The subtle inching of tender vines towards her ankles as she passes, the way two ravens always follow at a distance, ever watchful.

Just did a relaxed 42 mi bike ride along the San Gabriel River Trail down to Long Beach. Had some coffee at a cafe on the sand at the end of the trail

Seen on my morning ride - These 2 houses are directly across from each other. Historical note: No one was really looting during the Altadena fires. The house with the scary sign has 3 of them posted months after. I wonder which house is more scared

Day 42: slowly added 6x corydoras, a tiny school (6) of Norman’s lampeye killifish, 4x nerite snails. The corys are a laugh riot. The lampeyes are super timid and like hanging out in the aerial roots. Snails just snail

Day 31: snail trials! Now that the nitrogen is cycling I’ve introduced some nerite snails that are munching on the algae.

Day 28: introducing Mr. Hitchhiker. They first appeared as a tiny 1mm fry about a week after planting. Must have come along as an egg on one of the plants. No idea what species they are. The N-cycle has finally kicked in.

Though not as important as zero nitrite levels a certain amount of kitsch concentration is importance to any functioning ecosystem.
