Didn't know what to make my pf banner so for now it is a gar, my favorite fish atm for the following reasons:

1. Lil snoot and fins
2. Most perfect fish shape
3. Looks like it would sound like a squeaky toy if you squeezed it in your hand
4. Looks like this from a front view:
I genuinely feel sorry for everyone who has never experienced having their ears cleaned out with an ear scoop, the sensation is like nothing else. The most luxurious self-care.

Also telling people to use ear irrigation instead is like telling someone who's hungry to eat a raw onion

"never EVER put anything inside your ears!! you can damage your ear drums, and the ear is self cleaning anyway"

Me, with all the inherited knowledge and ancient chinese wisdom of my ancestors: so anyway, *sticks bobby pin in my ear*

they should invent a mullet that’s cute from the side profile and not just the front and 3/4

Gar Friend PART THREE:
The FINale!

My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium got sick and disfigured.

Ten years later, no one wanted her when it was time to find her a new home...

HOWEVER, a small bit of exciting news :)

Didn't skip any classes today and only dozed off for ~5 min in lecture. A win is a win

It's gotta be the severe seasonal allergies combined with early morning fieldwork bc I have been EXHAUSTED these past few weeks 😭

*angrily blocking family members on social media* see you fuckers in the chinese internment camps because that’s the only way we’ll ever be in the same vicinity ever again

It feels so dumb and useless but my current method of coping is researching vermicomposting so stay tuned for worms i guess

1. A transgender woman let legislators know she intended to use the bathroom in the Florida Capitol.

A contingent of officers waited for her, and stood outside the door.

When she stepped in, she was arrested and sent to a men's jail.

The latest from S. Baum.

“I’m not a political activist,” she maintained. “I’m just a normal college student who thinks this law is wrong.”

Did a quick spot of herping after class today w/ some buddies and found a fencey boy, a small yet rotund chorus frog, and a handful of slender salamanders

Not pictured: nest of CA vole mama + babies under one of the logs 🥺😭

Birder dad 100%. I know someone who broke both his legs from a fall and his climbing buddy was like “hang on lemme finish this send”
Smutty choose your own adventure: you twisted your ankle on a hiking trail. Who do you ask for help? The single dad out birding (turn to page 34), a drifter in a leather jacket with a mysterious past (turn to page 72), or the dusty rock climber jangling with trad gear (page 38)

Who cares if a trans kid participates in sports. What does it matter in the long run
“Well they could steal a scholarship spot”
Oh so the arena where kids race or run into each other in front of crowds to maybe go to school isn’t the problem
