#herps Baby salamander from the dried up vernal pond. Brought 6 or so back to hopefully grow up. They were under a large rock at the lowest point where there was still a little moisture. Everywhere else was dry.

#herps Nose shed. She managed most of the bits around her eyes, but the shed in the middle is thick and dirty from digging. Going to soak it with a towel later.

#herps She decided to sleep on the fan palm mat. I was wondering what to cover the top with. Now I know she likes the mats a lot and Thule / cattail would be perfect to make a larger one.

#actuallyautistic Seriously? You allow Superman to show off his true kryptonite and the fan boys lose their minds? Learn how to read facial expressions lol Yes that was pain, but not physical pain. That was Superman showing emotional pain for the people he's helping 😢 petapixel.com/2025/05/16/s...

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Wow, how dare you make Superman human. He doesn't feel pain at all, certainly not in his heart and soul. No wincing at all! I mean, humanity is the literal soul of Superman. Don't bend to the can throwers, that was a beautiful moment. That was soul pain, not physical.

@stkildaseedlibrary.bsky.social Getting close with the camas. Bit overcast/ rainy this next week. Hopefully all goes well. The plan for this year is ensuring those seeds end up back in the pot with fresh soil to hopefully germinate and grow more then save and share and maybe a bulb or two to eat.

#pwd #actuallyautistic Took some me time today and added the last few little changes to an aquarium I've been wanting to set up for a long time and have been working on and off with for a few weeks. Added the moon snail shell, some elodea and grasses then moved Pinky into a proper home.
Small 8 gallon bowfront/ rounded aquarium. Large white snail shell on left with green elodea on a piece of brown driftwood. Right is water grass with a red fish in the backfyClose up view of Betta fish. Pink head with red body fading into black with blue and bluish white speckles. Top fin is red with a pink tip. Front find clearish pink, middle fins pink with blue and white markings running top to bottom. Tail is whitish pink with black and blue markings. Very handsome and showy male.
