sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "mmmhmmm okay yeah i see we both interpreted that differently based on what the show gave us, but i see how you arrived at your ideas even if they're different from mine," and then sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "brother what show did you even fucking watch"

“Hey, we’re both single. I think you are super hot. If I’m gonna dip my toe back into the lady pool, I can’t think of a finer body of water to do it with than you. No. Keeley, I think you’re confused. I was, at first.” | Ted Lasso 1x07

So every year, my aquarium does a captive lobster hatchery project (hence all the loblings). The reason we’re doing it is because in the wild, loblings only have a 1 in 25,000 chance of surviving their larval phase. They’re plankton as babies and everything eats them. Additionally, as the Gulf of Maine warms, they are having even lower survival rates because the blooms of copepods they feed on as babies are happening earlier in the year, and they’re missing it.

Obviously, the goal of this experiment is to grow the lobsters until they’re big enough to settle to the seabed and then release them, because they have a much higher likelihood of surviving to adulthood when they’re able to hide. Ideally, captive lobster hatcheries can boost the wild population and keep things stable, so we don’t have a major crash in a decade or two.

The first year we tried this was pretty bad. We had a lot of eggs, but very few babies. It turned out that the CO2 levels in the building spiked as more guests visited throughout the summer, and that settled into the water and threw off the pH and caused a chemical reaction that prevented a lot of the eggs from hatching. I think we ended up releasing three baby lobsters (which is still better than their wild survival rate but not great).

The second year was a little better. We added a de-gasser to the aquarium and got a ton of larval lobsters, but right as they were settling to the bottom we had a disease outbreak that killed most of them. We ended up releasing four babies at the end of the season.

But this year? Oh boy. We have so many lobsters that we had to release the first round early (usually we wait till September or October so guests can see them). We just released a total of FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE baby lobsters, and we still have over a hundred who haven’t settled to the bottom yet. I genuinely don’t even have words to explain how cool this is. OVER FIVE HUNDRED. We just added hundreds of lobsters to the wild population that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.

Conservation is so fucken sick

I have access to a computer again! With a keyboard! And so I can share with you one of the mystical experiences of hanging out with my wife. We passed this old looking, panting dog one day while walking around mainstreet, and I made some kind of comment about how that dog looked a little worn out, and this GIANT guy walked pass, like, karate chopping the air he was walking so fast, and he said in a kind of mad voice "It's BEAUTIFUL," and then he grabbed a leaf off a tree and ate it. All without turning back. We watched this giant hulk of a man just continue ripping down the street while chewing so aggressively we could see it from behind. Anyway, I wrote a poem about it.

A dog stands still upon the stone,

The heat has killed all trace of bone

It droops like produce left to rot

It cannot play: It is too hot

I pass it with my wife and say

“That dog has seen some better days,”

A man strides past, his head held high

His voice like thunder from the sky

“It’s beautiful,” he says quite frank

His voice is calm, his face is blank. 

I turn to see who spoke so free

(I like when strangers address me)

He does not stop, he strides on past

If time’s a thief, he runs too fast

For it to catch him with its jaws

He does not care for nature’s laws

I consider then, how time is brief

How soon our love can turn to grief

Then as I watch, he eats a leaf

I once watched a girl in the produce aisle pick up a bushel of bananas that were precariously perched on the edge and move them farther back and under her breath she said “there you go sweeties - that will be more comfortable” before shuffling off and… I think about her often.

I was driving on the highway and passed a dude absolutely JAMMING alone in his car, doing those little half dance moves you do when you’re stuck sitting down in a small space, bellowing unheard lyrics at the top of his lungs, and my instant reaction was to think “I love you.” And then to pray he had a good day, or whatever, because those fleeting moments of connection are so incredible.

I firmly believe what ever you’re obsessed with at 11/12 years old becomes a core part of who you are, regardless if you lose interest in it or not. Maybe some of you were lucky and were obsessed with warrior cats or smth, and if you’re real unlucky it was probably twilight.
