Need some fish facts?
One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint
the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

I feel this so very much and also simultaneously feel like one way we're going to get through all of this is to have artists and writers and musicians chucking in to create space for others to experience joy and rest for a moment before going out to fight again in the world. Creation is resistance.
