This eel rent Halloween costume idea has really spiraled out of control.

Absolutely no one is going to get my Halloween costume (Medieval eel rent collector) so I had flyers made that I'm going to keep in a scroll holder. Inspired by @greenleejw.bsky.social and my own work in eel conservation. Also mostly just wanting to wear my ren faire costume again.

I thought this narwhal tea infuser was cute but this herbal blend with hibiscus and rose hips look like I wounded the poor thing

When I was an Air Force medic ages ago I left work with my Common Access Card still signed into my lab terminal. Came back in the next day to find it in the center of a 24/hr urine collection jug that had been left over night in our -80c sample freezer courtesy of my supervisor.

RIP to my mom who taught me how to make great Southern style cooking. Schnitzel with white gravy (loaded with jalapeno, pickles and green onion). It was breaded in a dehydrated stale baguette and crushed up corn flakes. Decadent food fully steeped in my whole life history.

There's this great blue heron that hangs out by my office most mornings and it is weirdly good at catching and eating outmigrating silver eels in early winter. I want to be mad at it, because it takes eels a long time to mature and their populations are struggling but that's nature I guess.

Remarkably good Szechuan beef and broccoli that I made
