Poetry meme
So, as part of my work - yes, legitimately! - I read this article. I realized a few things about myself, and after I stopped crying, I wrote a poem in the same theme. I thought it would be a neat meme; sort of a list-poem thing.
Thus, if you want, read the article and write your own poem about who or what raised you.
( This is mine. Raw and unbeta'd. ) -
We'll see how long THIS lasts.
I seem to be inclining myself towards veganism for the moment.
I note that this is not because I think eating animals/eggs/dairy is wrong. To exist is to consume other living things, period.* Also, I love meat. I will miss steak like you don't even know.

One of my bettas and my golden nugget pleco are dead. Something happened to the tank, and the temperature in it is over a hundred degrees.

What I've Been Up To Meme
You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed ( Read more... ) -

Well, the zebra kutu is still alive, and still adorable, and hates me for disturbing him to make sure of all of these things ( Read more... ) -
Thank god for quarantine tanks.
Out of five new catfish, four are now dead from columnaris. Apparently there are two strains of columnaris, and they got the one that kills them very quickly. Oddly enough, the only survivor thus far is the littlest one, an adorable little zebra kutu color form.
We'll see how long that lasts.
