#How could I forget the fish?!

[fishyfishyfishtimes]

Recently extinct species make me sad for all the usual and normal reasons (loss of life, biodiversity and unique life forms that experienced the world wholly uniquely and acted in it like no other, to name three), but a big thing that also makes me so sad is the forgetting that comes right after. Many endangered species are greatly ignored to begin with whilst alive of course, which is awful, but the way that extinction also causes us to forget. A species could’ve been so abundant a hundred years ago, people would’ve used a fish species or a tasty plant for food, or parents would’ve warned their children to not put a poisonous toadstool or insect in their mouth, a diver would exclaim, “Aha!” after emerging from the shallows holding an especially big bivalve, or someone making a species diary would sketch out a local bird or fasten a single flower to the page. But.. then the species goes extinct. It doesn’t exist anymore. None of these events, these actions happen anymore. Not with these species. The people who had these experiences dwindle out and they may not even realise that their experiences were among the last of their kind. And we forget.

Personally, I don't get how people see Dostoyevsky as a really depressing author because TBK and C&P were some of the funniest books I've ever read

It took a whole 30ish hours but I finally beat Potionomics: Masterwork Edition🥳

I haven’t seen many newer uploads of the game since the update (featuring the amazing voice acting) so I wanted to know if anyone of the 20 fans I’ve seen would be interested if I uploaded some voiced cutscenes from the game.

Here’s what I recorded during my first playthrough (cozy, free love)

All Boss Finn rank up scenes

Everyone’s (romantic 💕) 7 rank up scene

Everyone’s (romantic 💕) 10 rank up scene

All Boss Finn Scenes

Final Haggling Session (End of Boss Battle)

After credit Haggling scene w Helen

End Credits

Currently in the process of finishing everyone else’s rank 11 scenes

It’s not a lot but I picked the bits I thought were really cute or just might want to look back on later 😊

If anyone is interested in these let me know, I should be able to upload them to either here or youtube

you seem like the. kind of person who I'd run into during a rock concert while I'm trying to find bathroom and notably you are dressed kind of oddly for the concert (see: divorced dad outfit. hawaiian shirt. jorts. chunky sandles. giant sun hat.) and so I ask you "hello, do you know where I can find the bathroom?" and you go "yeah sure!!" and you point me the complete opposite direction from the bathroom. not on purpose, but because you also have no idea where the bathroom is. I thank you and go on my way, both of us oblivious to the fact we are currently very much not at a rock concert. it's an idie band that just screams really loud. sorry if that's specific you just give me giant 'perpetual tourist that isn't really a tourist and has never left their home city but just seems like a tourist anyways' energy

naw thats a pretty reasonable impression id say

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort to put together the long climate/environment post, especially the online resources. I've wanted to replace the neglected/dead non-native plants at my place with native plants for months, but didn't know where to start my search for species except to walk around my local nature preserve trying to find something that isn't invasive lol. I'll be able to start (re)introducing native plants this month because of you :-)

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the post has been helpful and inspiring. If you'd like more directed guidance on native plants, I can probably point you in the right direction if you can give me a general area to work with (state would suffice!). In general, go for keystone species- those that are common in your area and support many kinds of insects- or pollinator favorites, or host plants for rare/imperiled butterflies/bees/moths.

My sister calls me stupid for autistic behavior.

I secretly call her stupid for not recognizing autistic behavior because she’d say that I’m using my diagnosis as an excuse for my behavior if I did tell her straight to my face.

there's something funny about me having made my main splatsona a fuzzy octoling (who is Not a fan of grizzco) and then making my second splatsona a goldie illegally living in splatsville. and then realising several months later that there's a whole thing with me being horrorboroskin it's really funny actually

the degree to which i love mermaid fics always makes me giggle bc i get so #entranced by them but in real life i'm literally kicking screaming and crying like a little baby whenever i have to actually get in any kind of natural body of water and having a full on crisis whenever anything (god forbid) actually touches me while in that body of water

[magicicapra]

i should maybe start making this soup when i'm sick. spell of boil sinuses

idk if this post will take off but what are your absolute favourite book titles. it doesn't matter whether you actually like or even read the book but something about the actual naming of the book makes you go "oh that's fucking good"

When I was young my dad offhandedly told me he thought people treated fish with so much casual cruelty because fish can’t scream.

The words branded themselves across my soul.

As an adult I think he may have been joking. He payed no especial attention to any indignities fish suffered in our household but I could never forget. I saw fish in a different light after that.

Fish kept in tiny bowls, breathing their own poisons, dying by inches. Fish kept in cold tanks, casually disposed of. Fish touted as being short lived when they could outlive the better loved family dog if only they could breathe. Fish casually won and discarded in cheap plastic bags, thrown away a week later.

How they would scream, if they could.
