I used to live close to that giant fish, weird to see it on Neocities. We go to the aquarium almost every time we're in Duluth. One time a puffer fish kept swimming around the tank and then coming back to float next to my husband. It did that over and over, it was so cute.

Also, Hawk Ridge is a nice overlook in Duluth if you haven't been. Birds migrate over it in the fall, it's pretty cool!

@oopsiedoodle The puffer is so cute <3 I will absolutely check out Hawk Ridge. That sounds incredible, and I've been really into birds lately. It's perfect :0

I heavily relate to how you feel like your portfolio is missing this uncertain “click” feeling. I have this terrible habit of constantly comparing my music to other people’s work and it just feels like there’s one more piece to fit into the puzzle, but it’s nowhere to be seen. Have fun with the kitties btw :3

@ninevolt It’s an antisemitic term from a conspiracy theory that jewish people are feeding non-jewish people (goy) slop to keep them unhealthy. It’s a kinda w/e insult on social media these days. The meme’s been done with for months lmao

@barracudachan They did get blocked worry not lmao. I've heard the term thrown around a lot, but in the context of my site where I'm just doing my own thing and loving fish, it's WILD. I am sephardic, so maybe I am controlling all of you 👁️👁️

like it's shitty regardless of anything else, but also just a nonsensical insult for a lovingly handmade personal website!

This is a cool list! Well thought out and crafted. Since you like 80s boxy rally and some Japanese tech, what's your take on the Mitsubishi Starion? Its my ultimate dream car. Oh also, have you seen the Subaru Sambar Dias S. These are two of my favorites, quite different :-)

@win1999 I’ve heard about the starion but I don’t know much about it, so I can’t say much! They do look SOOOO rad. And with the subie, idk too much about kei cars in general. Defo been meaning to look into them more along with chinese evs

Just the dashboard of the Starion looks cool. I saw this ad: https://autoprospektesammlung.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/prospekt-mitsubishi-starion-6.jpg This isnt just a car, its a fighter jet marketing vibe.

I have a purple broccoli that bolted and then refused to die during winter, so I left it. It's now a 4 year old broccoli tree which must be protected at all costs.

@music-by-margaruine Wildfire smoke! A bunch of pine trees that have been drying for years caught fire from a lightning strike. If there isn’t lots of rain, it’ll burn until it snows

Man, the worst I've been in is about ~580 (BC, Canada.) Awful thing to experience. In this day and age, I have to recommend blowing some cash on a high end air purifier. I went with a Coway airmega and holy smokes is it powerful. It's pretty overkill for the space I have, so I essentially have fresh cycled air every minute and a half. When it kicks into overdrive you feel a pressure change in the house lol

@ichomancer Defo gonna look into getting one of those. I have an air purifier but it’s a pretty standard one. Idk if she can keep up with these wildfires that are practically annual now

I recommend everyone in wildfire-affected areas, or heavily polluted industrial zones invest in at least one HEPA Air Purifier. If funds are low, or you are feeling DIY, you can also build a Corsi-Rosenthal style box :-]
