Maddy @djrotifera.bsky.social · 26/09/2026There is a BIG sea urchin, the size of a house. I sit next to it like Totoro at the bus stop. It’s larger and older than me, like a tree. It’s comforting on a level I can’t describe. 000

Maddy @djrotifera.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Today I need to share macros of the tank. This Chaos Tank is sampled from an abandoned (or stuck in paperwork) lot that used to be a gas station. A few years ago it was covered in limestone gravel and the swamp has since taken over :) calcium shells as far as the eye can see 032

Maddy @djrotifera.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The tree that got me into ecology is on its way out (slowly, judging by the bracket fungus in 3rd pic). Looking forward to watching it change with the creek 😊 130
