We're out at the coast and it was gorgeous! I told my dog to sit so I could take a nice photo. Then I released him from the sit and kept taking pictures and the first one killed me immediately

Even the folks at my LFS weren't 100% that this was a male female pair. The individual I follow at the end is who they suspected may have been the female. I'll post video of the for sure male below

I just realized that technically, I almost have the same amount of stocking in that 20 long that I do in my 40 gallon. Hmmm...maybe I can add a new group of something...

I learned on Saturday that my very best friend that I've had since the first day of kindergarten has been diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer. It's a good thing I restart therapy on Thursday.

Back from the fish shop! Went with a pair of Apisto McMasteri, amanos, otos and some neon tetras. I'll take some pics later once everyone has settled a bit.

I keep looking at this tank wanting to redo it but the substrate needs a revamp so I keep putting off changing it. Cousin Pearl the Pearl gourami is quite happy tho.

Guys flying cars cannot be a thing. The amount of air you have to displace in order to lift something that heavy is ALOT. Which means the tech required to do so will be loud, disruptive, expensive, etc. Also if you don't understand how that displacement works you gonna crash.

If I go with the Apistos the platys can stay in there and I was thinking of adding some harlequin rabbits too. None of that happens with the peas.

Originally this eas going to be a pea puffer tank but my LFS said they were out of peas for the season. I went to the shop today and they actually had some.... But my plan B was maybe Apistos, so here's what they had:

Definitely gonna go to the fish shop after work to price out this weekend's livestock purchase. 🤩 Want to get a pair of apistos and maybe a few otos. Maybe a lil rasbora action??

In the 6th grade when suddenly I found myself captain of the Scholastic Scrimmage team because, according to my teacher, 'It is uncanny how you can just remember all THAT.'

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

Okay cat people, quiz time: Is this cat a tortie or a calico? I keep reading conflicting info... Her name is Sabbath.

I'm thinking of not doing pea puffers in this 20 long I had set up for them. I moved my two platy boys up into the tank so that way I could appreciate their colors, but now I'm wondering what other kind of feature fish should I put in here? Apisto maybe?

I just kinda realized that my kids have outside the norm names for their grandparents on all sides: Pop-Pop and G-Daddy are their grandfathers. Granmere is their grandmother on my wife's side.

Gonna sit here and fantasize about a presidential election won with the campaign promise of a federal jobs program specifically to build high-speed rail across the country.

I somehow gave myself permission to have a Minecraft world where all I do is build housing for Villagers and dink around as I please and it's becoming my favorite world hands-down.

My first distance skate since I picked the hobby back up. A bit over 5 miles round trip, chilling at the halfway point to let my heart rate cool off.

On the whole Lesbian bar discourse: 1. It sucks for disabled/immunocompromised people to lose access to a social space. 2. It also sucks that a bar is a business and has to be profitable to be sustainable. 3. It continually sucks to reconcile these things.

How quickly federal systems were destroyed also means that if there's enough political will you can make better shit in it's place.

On Wednesday, Pete Hegseth announced the creation of a new entity within the Pentagon: the Office of Religious Affairs. The office will “sponsor and oversee research, technology, and analytical tools to support and assess spiritual fitness, spiritual readiness, and spiritual resilience.”

I'm really worried about how local businesses that just barely survived COVID are not likely to have the financial resilience to deal with this energy crisis and that they're going to start dropping like flies.

Our family has made going ro Newport our family getaway, and we have a favorite restaurant on the Bayfront that we crave constantly. Always the most anticipated part of the trip. My wife just told me that they have permanently closed. I don't even have the heart to tell the kids.

My AMAB 12 yo went undercover as a girl to a church youth group with his AFAB friend just to see what all the fuss was about. They enjoyed the espionage and the chill time/free food, but they were definitely turned off by the sermon. I'm glad they had that experience on their own and also LMAO

Got to experience the whole "when aquarium heaters break they break on" in my rare shrimp tank 🙃 Thank the gods I stuck in my hand to cull some snails and felt how darn hot it was. Water temp was 92.
