If Chuck Schumer has no haters left, I am dead.
Me, every time I read some story with a conveniently anonymous source claiming “no, seriously, Schumer didn’t want to cave on the shutdown, he wanted to fight for real you guys.”

We picked up an Aphonopelma chalcodes that we felt sorry for back in May. She was a little chunky back then, and absolutely did not know how to act like a normal spider. She had no real burrowing behaviors. This week she started burrowing. Today she took her first meal from us. Good job, Tarangela!
