    Long story but these dudes are like my ACTUAL family. I’ve known them over 15 years.

    Fuuuuuuuuuuck! So excited!!!

    Soooo… This all happened very last minute because her owner is a bit of an unreliable/unpredictable sort but WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST IN DA HOUZ (for two to maybe three weeks)

        She’s randomly hissed and panted at me out of nowhere twice but seems to be mostly just investigating and figuring shit out, definitely not combative, just on guard. The first night is harder now that her owner and I aren’t in the same building and she can’t visualise my place as an extension of her old home. It’s her first time in this apartment too. But she’ll settle down soon enough I think. As long as she keeps to gnawing cardboard and not my houseplants.

        Those are thrombolites! Ancient bacterial (?) colonies that are still alive, they turn the air and stuff into calcium deposits

          Stromatolites? Yeah, relics of the first life on earth. Or are thrombolites different from stromatolites? Never heard of thrombolites.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombolite
            Thrombolites can be distinguished from microbialites or stromatolites by their massive size, which is characterized by macroscopic clotted fabric. Stromatolites are similar but consist of layered accretions. Thrombolites appear with random patterns that can be seen by the naked eye, while stromatolites has the texture of built-up layers.[2]

            From the rabbit hole…

            Both structures are created by cyanobacteria.

            The name “cyanobacteria” (from Ancient Greek κύανος (kúanos) ‘blue’) refers to their bluish green (cyan) color,[5][6] which forms the basis of cyanobacteria’s informal common name, blue-green algae.[7][8][9][note 2]

            Common blue-green algae has magic properties!

        All these people running around with sharp objects. Did their parents miss teaching them the don’t-run-with-scissors lesson, or did it not sink in properly? I get nervous walking while holding anything vaguely pointy, running while holding a machete is definitely not happening.

      I wonder what would happen if a second seagull tried to stand on an already occupied rock. Would it by like when a person stands too close in your personal space and you back up and end up being walked across the room? I’m envisaging an ongoing chain reaction of seagulls moving from rock to rock to rock.

    Bummer

    I’m feeling really out of sorts and just wanting to isolate myself. I don’t want to reach out to my friends.

    Living in this shithole is stifling. The people around me are bad news, anything I want to do is pointless or off limits and I don’t even feel comfortable going for a walk.

    I have no idea how I used to be an adventurous social person
