My colony is thriving. I started with a culture of 15, lost two. Two appear to be a different variety- one dark brown and one all white- but both are female and have successfully reproduced. I have easily over 100 at this point. The symbiosis between them and the springtails is super cool to watch.

Baby isopods!(Finger tip for scale)

Pillbugs, potato bugs, rollypollies, whatever you wanna call them-

Neat fact, these guys are NOT insects! They are terrestrial crustaceans! Think of them as a different breed of crab or lobster, but tiny, and on land!

My bioactive terrarium is thriving!!!

I've been weirdly obsessed with isopods for a few years, and I finally bought some.

These lil dudes are called Dairy Cows.

Naturally, my partner and I spent Saturday afternoon building tiny barns for them, because we are totally sane adult humans.

"Good thing I don't have medicaid"

Are you sure? Or is this going to be a repeat of when you wanted Obamacare gone but to keep your ACA coverage?

Just in case you don't know, these are the Ohio medicaid providers.

Thinking about running for local office.

Looking hard at the school board.

Anyway, yard sale this weekend in Eastlake. Come buy my stuff.

Once upon a time, I made jewelry. And I was pretty good at it.

Pricing my art feels gross. Like, here's a thing I made and I demand you give me X amount because I decided so.

I've given away so much because I just feel weird charging for something I enjoyed doing.

Just some of the glass I've made and saved up from the last several months! Gathering stuff up for a yard sale, finally!

Just let me live in the mountains.

The microscopic jungles we walk by every day always draw me in.

I love moss so much.

I was at a gorgeous waterfall, surrounded by tourists photographing the water- and my dumb ass is squatted down, taking micro shots of the incredible moss.

I.

Am awkward.

I spent 4 days in the mountains of N.C. trying to help my mom find a new home.

I met some pretty cool cats.

Orange kitty works at the Franklin aquarium. Black and white kitty works at Darnell farms, doing pest control. Beautiful gray kitty is Luna, my great aunts gorgeous little fluff.

Helping my mom find a new place out of state. Stopped at the Women's History trail in Franklin N.C., looked around at some of the neat historical sites. They had a cottage preserved as it was when the area was settled. Saw something odd on the ground...

Awesome, just in time for my sons to be nearing adulthood, another fucking war.

I was told that Kamala was the war candidate?!

Four generations of my family in one shot.
My uncle, my son, my mother, my brother, my grandpa, myself, my other son!

I'm lucky enough to have two sets of amazing grandparents who love all their weird kids.

Dipped my toes back in after shoulder surgery last month.
Simple (free)pattern yoinked from the Delphi site.
I used only scrap glass for this piece.
Giving me 1960's vibes 💙

I've been obsessing over isopod for a few years, and I've recently started doing some research into breeding different variants. I think this might be a thing in the very near future.

Did you know that the humble isopod- or potato bug, or pill bug, or rolly poly- is a crustacean? 🥰

Extraordinarily mundane.

Took my eldest offspring to the Sessanta tour. My second time seeing Primus, my sons first time. Puscifer was phenomenal. Primus was again, incredible. Kid is now really getting into Primus and boy howdy, I'm a proud mom.

I had shoulder surgery 9 days ago. They had to use clear(*hypoallergenic*) adhesive over the bandages, despite my noted allergy to adhesives.

Long story short, I'm being referred to an allergist because he said that his patients with adhesive allergies don't react as badly as my skin did.

This is about to be TMI, so caution.

I had shoulder surgery today, and while I was in surgery, I got my period. I have one usable arm.

My incredible partner has not only been helping me go to the bathroom...

He's also helping with pads, since I have one arm.

10/10 man. Love him so much.

I'm not usually a sucker for advertisement and coke is definitely an awful company being one of the top plastic polluters... but this made me tear up.

Gallaudet University is the oldest and top deaf college, they've been facing serious funding issues for the past several months... (1)

Buddy, I can't explain how weird it was to be editing my next stained glass project when @thetraecrowder.bsky.social and @coreyrforrester.bsky.social started talking about stained glass.

P.s. even thick glass can do some serious damage. Please don't be getting thrown through stained glass. 💙

I feel so lucky to be with this man. He's been my crush since I was 14, my "one that got away" in my 20's, and for almost 7 years now he's been my best friend and partner. He's been my peace. I love this man so much
