Happy Mother's Day to the woman who taught me how to frame a photograph, how to put others first, and how to fight for what you want. I'm headstrong and persistent because you instilled that in me. Super glad you're mine. Side note, if you're bad she sends you pictures of creepy clowns before bed time. So behave for Tonia 💕😂

Octopuses are going to kill us all someday

I had a biology teacher that told us this story about an octopus at an aquarium in Australia. The staff were concerned because their population of crustaceans kept disappearing. No bodies or anything. So they checked the video feed to find out what’s up.

Across from the the crustacean tank was a small octopus tank. This little fucker squeezed out of a tiny hole at the top of his tank, walk across the hall, and get into the crustacean tank. He would then hunt and eat. After he was done, he crawled back out and get back in his tank

Here’s the kicker: security guards patrolled the area. The staff realized that the octopus had memorized the security’s routine. It would escape and be back between the guards’ round.

My friend who worked at Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska had a similar story. Rare fish were disappearing, they suspected theft, and so set up a camera. An octopus was unlocking the top of its tank, walking across the suspended walkway, unlocking the other tank, eating his fill, re-locking the other tank, then re-locking its own tank.

I can’t remember what zoo this happened at, but there was another octopus somewhere who was unscrewing a water valve in the room where its tank was located and routinely flooding the place. The staffers had no idea what it was until they filmed the octopus caught in the act.

My dad worked in a lab and one of the rooms had a tank with an octopus in it. If they didn’t go play with the octopus he got bored and would climb out of his tank and steal the paperwork off the desks, and drag stuff into his tank to let the scientists know he was upset with them.

Mom's working. She's on squirrel watch. 🐿🌞🌲🐾

It's a shame you can't see the view of the city that I had because it was so much prettier than a lens could capture. Cincinnati, you are so good to me every day. @avfti work is kicking my butt on top of life but I wouldn't trade my spot with these incredible people in this incredible city for anything. Thanks for being my home. (at Cinncinati, Ohio)

I know when I've not been reading. I feel overworked and overwhelmed. My eye has been twitching for an entire weekend nonstop due to stress and lack of sleep. So tonight I just needed to put the laptop away for a bit and give myself 30 pages. Words can't explain the good it did.
