I promised myself I wouldn't join another one (social media app). I clearly have trust issues with myself. I'm collecting them like they're Pokémon, gotta 'upscroll' them all.

Niece went to sea life today.

Me: So what did you see?

Her: I saw a shark, and they had a pool and I touched a star fish.

Me: Cool. Did you know they have horses in the sea as well?

Her: What?!

Me: Yeah seahorses.

Her: They look like an 'f' but they're not an 'f' and they have a long mouth

Biochemistry are never gonna beat the allegations that they do nothing all day. Look at the size of their authorisation queue! 🙄🤔🤣
