1) Eat spoonful out of center of ice cream cup; 2) Dump in entire contents of pudding cup; 3) Refreeze for 30 min or until a brittle shell has formed; 4) Don’t let this knowledge die with me.

Really coming into fruition, one of my “Dutch modernist” aquascapes! In time the grassy vallisneria in the back corner should grow much longer and kinda drape over the whole thing a bit, creating a more dappled light effect on the carpets underneath. And the red lily will get bigger.

A colorful planted aquarium in my greenhouse, with plants grown into painterly shapes reminiscent of impressionist or modernist art.

My third attempt executing this basic plant design. It’s still young but I think it’s reached escape velocity! School of rummy nose tetras looking very yellow submarine.

I have an aquarium with a surface environment which means every now and then you get to see aquatic creatures briefly leave the water, and I always find it so surreal! Like somebody jumping out of the tv screen. You’re not supposed to be in this plane of existence!

Checked the water table after dark and found a little male platy resting in the shallowest water possible, almost breaking the surface, with its belly on the stone underneath. Seems like a vulnerable place for a fish to be, but it’s very painterly!

Tiny red fish floating atop a flat, gray rock just under the water’s surface, with colorful aquatic plants on all sides.

I don’t think the internet makes people gullible. I think it empowers gullible people to be skeptical for the first time in human history, and they don’t all handle it well. (This is an opinion I am workshopping.)

“Is that a kite?” we wondered as something colorful floated over the interstate. Then we saw the truck full of kites on the shoulder and that’s the most whimsical car accident I’ve ever seen.

Late I know, but if you need to help an American visualize how big Iran is, I just realized it’s virtually the same in both population and land area as the southeastern United States. From Florida up to the the Pennsylvania border and out west to the Texas border, that’s Iran.

I’m not trying to hear that from the people who rat fucked our farmers & destroyed our diplomatic relationships. And yes I’m aware our farmers voted to get rat fucked. But they still got rat fucked and that’s horrible for everyone with a stomach.
