RIP to this yellow light bulb that has been in use since my science fair project in 2002 🥲

At least my 2002 CD player/radio is still going strong!

What device in your house have you owned for the longest amount of time?

A couple weeks late, a very happy "392th Bonus Episode of @sayswhopodcast.com" to @dansinker.com and @maureenjohnsonbooks.com! 🥳🥳🥳

I have obtained the Amy Carter's Shoe shorts to celebrate the best community (that sometimes jokes about a very, very horny shoe 😅)

Thanks for 9+ years of coping!!! 😀

Man, what the FUCK?????

I am one, single, 32-year-old, relatively healthy (though mentally ill, for sure) person.

15% of my fucking income to crappy health insurance? I hate it here!!!!!

I was repping my shark pride with my awesome shirt from @thelifeofsharks.com at the march/rally in Jacksonville this weekend. 😁🏳️‍🌈

There were lots of other sharks out there showing up to fight against the fascist takeover! ✊🦈

I sat down and now my cat is on me and I guess the chores are waiting 😅

Masks *are* an important accessory to my outfit! I have a lot of fun deciding which colour to wear based on my outfit that day!

I interrupt your doomscroll this morning with these goofy yellowtail parrotfish smiles. @coralcitycamera.bsky.social remains the best distraction and bright happy place ❤️❤️

Guess what, Florida! Not *everything* is terrible here, as the requirement for a prescription for the COVID vaccine has been relaxed at last!

Go get your shots!!!!

COVID and flu for me today, planning for an evening of chill and electrolyte drinks 😉

Should've just made this the headline and basically the entire article.

Such a special evening, incredible energy and fabulous music as always from @themountaingoats.bsky.social in Ponte Vedra

I really need to go to concerts and soak in live music more often ❤️❤️❤️

Ramón finally evicted his remora hitchhiker on March 20, 2021. He stuck around as a regular visitor through February 2022, at which point he may have either moved on or been replaced in his territory by another male yellowtail parrotfish.
August 29, 2025 at 12:20 PM
But he was, from what viewers could see, bothered by the presence of the remora, especially when Fedora would move around.

Imagine trying to just walk around while a large worm is wriggling on your face!

Ramón *was* still clearly eating, as we can see here he was doing his important duty of creating new beach sand. 😉💩
August 29, 2025 at 12:20 PM
Another time we observed Ramón successfully grabbing another snack (this one appeared to possibly be a crab he grabbed while looking for an algae clump), but he was still bothered by Fedora squirming around as Ramón tried to keep hold of his snack.
August 29, 2025 at 12:20 PM
Fedora (the remora) also seemed to interfere with Ramón's ability to eat. Here we can see that Ramón was able to grab a quick snack, but Fedora wiggling around seemed to cause him to move away from the algae snack.
August 29, 2025 at 12:20 PM
But on smaller fish, like Ramón, this relationship appears more parasitic. We first observed Ramón having difficulty napping or resting, appearing bothered by the squirming remora on his head.
August 29, 2025 at 12:20 PM
During that time, we observed Ramón's discomfort at having his remora hitchhiker. Over time he developed various scrapes and injuries, likely from rubbing against rocks and sand trying to evict Fedora.
August 29, 2025 at 12:20 PM
October 2020, Ramón picked up a *second* remora, which from our observations appeared to stick with him continuously for almost 6 months, through late March 2021. Regular viewers of the livestream noted the almost daily visits by Ramón and his remora (cleverly named Fedora by @tommowle.bsky.social)

Allow me to tell you some of the story of Ramón, a terminal phase (male) yellowtail parrotfish

Ramón, a terminal phase (male) yellowtail parrotfish, first appeared as a regular visitor on @coralcitycamera.bsky.social early in April 2020.
