This made my stomach invert, who saw this and said “yeah, we NEED to start mass producing these for literal children“ 😭

If I was a fish I would def say yes if it makes him feel any better.

I need to do some investigating

Bought a bag of brine shrimp for my fish to eat… they are so gluttonous it’s a little disturbing…

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Oh hey, my new novel, LITTLE NIGHTMARES: THE LONELY ONES, is also eligible for the Bram Stoker Awards if any HWA member liked it well enough to recommend it for the Reading List. It's age 12+, so technically YA, though I consider it upper middle grade. 🙏

Wendy N. Wagner 🎃 @wnwagner.bsky.social · 22d

Horror folks, it's the middle of September, and the Stoker Recommended Reading List is looking extremely small. If you're a member of the HWA, go recommend something you've read that you loved!

Gorgeous images!

The P. sauvagei from Lake Victoria are so far great fish. One of the most common Victorians in the hobby in part because, unlike most ‚Haplochromis‘-relatives, the females are also colorful. My trio is still young, will be interesting to see them growing up. 🐟 #fishkeeping #photography

A yellow cichlid with two black longitudinal stripes in a planted aquarium. One of the females of my group of three Paralabidochromis sauvagei.

A young male of the species. Also yellow with black stripes but grayish on top and with two eggspots on its anal fin.

They’ve made the executive decision that if the peanut beetle larvae I feed them aren’t pre-crushed they will spit them out and act like I am feeding them poison

We had one of my favorite crabs in the invertebrate teaching lab today! This is Dromidia sp. a carrier crab. Their last pair of legs is modified to carry sponges and other animals as a defensive mechanism. This one is carrying a colonial tunicate. #invertebrates 🦑🦀

A cute carrier crab in an aquarium. The crab is red with large claws and is carrying a white colonial tunicate on its back.

Wip on my fan design for the performer from #thelonelyones #littlenightmares book! drew extra joints in some areas and made him look more wrinkly. I also removed the dashes below his eyes but kept the top ones. When I design Mim I plan to give her the bottom dashes so their designs contrast slightly

Eventually, this #wahoo will become one of the fastest predators of the open ocean, but for now, it’s just a 1” bebeh.
