first time meeting the CA122 transient pod, who was pretty friendly with our boat

absolutely disgusting to hear autistic people brushed with such broad strokes & he can keep autistics with high support needs out of his mouth

it's been non-stop humpback whales & dolphins lately despite how early in the season we are & there's plenty of food even though our upwelling is just getting started

Bean's first time seeing turkeys! I was surprised he didn't chirp, but when I stopped recording & looked at him, his mouth was just hanging open

february is normally a slow time for baleen whale activity but the second half of the month was busy with dolphin activity & the non-migratory humpbacks really bridged the gap in the gray whales migration

me: I need rest, my mental health is dismal & I wasn't allowed to rest at all in 2024

work & gov't: best we can do is inundate you with triggering experiences like antisemitism, queerphobia, sexism, ableism, etc.

I love the larval stages of crabs, I love those googly eyes

I've been seeing more & more healthcare specialists lately (psychiatrists, podiatrists, rheumatologists, etc), getting blood draws, x-rays, ultrasounds (even of my hands?!), & new meds

now it feels like after all this work to keep my body alive, the fed are going to 🔪 me

anyway, here's a cute 🦀

do you live near Monterey? don't have v-day plans because the "holiday" sucks? guess what? I've been helping plan a spawniversary event for Sunflower Star Laboratory to celebrate the one year anniversary of when our Cupid Cohort was spawned & y'all should definitely come check it out
