When I die, my body will be disposed of in a green / sustainable way (my corpse launched from a trebuchet into the windows of the headquarters of a fossil fuel company, with the message "kindly requesting that you cease exploration of new fossil fuel projects" taped onto the chest)

Google Photos reminder: exactly a year ago I went #diving in my home country for the first time. So different and magical! This was at Grevelingenmeer.

Big new post on #pond algae control is up! People are always asking about the best fish to fight #algae, but as we'll see here, you need to think leaves, not scales... 🌿 fantaseaaquariums.com/freshwater/b... -eating-fish-for-ponds/
