cool little guys! Not quite as pretty as red cherry shrimp and not quite as cool as amano shrimp but they’re a nice, cheap, basic shramp

The petsmart in my town gets shipments of feeder ghost shrimp every tuesday (or maybe wednesday i forgot… i do remember that you’d have to go in early in the day in order to get some.) I once bought 3 live ghost shrimp to feed to noodle. I put one in the tank and she snuck up on it all stealthy-like. but! when she got close the shrimp poked her in the face with it’s little antenna thing. It scared the hell out of noodle and she darted away and then hid under a rock and refused to eat for 3 days. she hates them.
it’s even funnier when you get a sense of the size of the shramp vs noodle
i only give her frozen food now and she’s happy with that. She doesn’t like her food to move
Arapaima can get up to 14 feet long and have hard, bony skulls. They’re largely harmless to humans, preferring to eat smaller, bottom-dwelling fish and crustaceans, but can become a lethal missile if netted. When caught in a net, they jump to escape, and 2 feet of solid bone backed up by 12 feet of solid muscle is a very bad thing to have hurtling towards you at high speeds. Even smaller ones (5-6 feet) can cause serious damage or unconsciousness, and being unconscious and knocked out of your boat in the Amazon river is a very, very bad situation.
It’s a jolly season, until one of your babies gets their mouth around a plant that won’t treat them well.
Watch out for these plants during the holiday season, no beauty is worth possibly injuring your beloved.

Poinsettia: contains an irritating sap that causes nausea and vomiting
Holly + Mistletoe: harmful leaves and berries, will cause everything from vomiting, to hallucinations, to death
Cyclamen: a winter bloomer, it’s a common gift that can cause vomiting, convulsions, and paralysis
Amaryllis: poinsettia’s competitor, it has Lycorine and other substances that cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and lethargy
Jerusalem Cherry: literally in the nightshade family and will easily kill as it is highly toxic to animals
Lillies + Daffodils: especially harmful to cats, these will cause vomiting, diarrhea, arrhythmias, and convulsions
Fir/Pine/Cedar/etc. Tree: the center of many homes during the holiday season, its oils are irritants, its needles can puncture their insides, and the water bowl is a cesspool of bacteria, mold, and any chemicals used for its creation and preservation. Especially bad if it was covered with a flame retardant.

So, definitely not saying that you shouldn’t decorate with or gift these items, but you know your pet the best. If they’re a chewer, keep an extra eye on them, but, of course, no pretty plant should be worth more than their lives.
a concept: Harry Potter with his mother’s hair and father’s eyes instead of vice versa.
Harry with fiery dark red hair and soft hazel eyes please and thank you
i imagine this is how harry and draco’s first meeting would have gone then haha
can you imagine how much more confused arthur would have been in that scene where he first meets harry 😂
his eyes would probably sweep right over harry at the breakfast table, and then he would freeze and have to do a mental tally of his children
I can see Fred and George really going with it too…
“Come on Dad, don’t you remember Harry?” “Next you’ll tell us you don’t remember Craig” “Or Ethel” “Or Annie“ “Or Ryan”
I really want this to be a thing
Okay but like…every professor at Hogwarts would have to do the exact same mental math as Arthur, and then realize that he’s Harry freakin’ Potter, and redo their math AGAIN.
*someone sees a pic with the weasleys (and harry the honorary weasley)*
the person: …which one of you screwed up in class and made another one

I sympathize. However, no matter how much you build it up in your mind, an injection is over and done with extremely quickly. You don’t have to force yourself to do anything for long. Take it one step at a time: force yourself to go to a pharmacy. Then force yourself to talk to a pharmacist. The only part about getting a shot that involves actually getting a shot is extremely brief. Up until that fleeting moment, you might as well be picking up some shave gel or chewy vitamins. (Lots of places offer you store credit or a gift card for getting a flu shot – that’s a fun new Nyx eyeshadow color you get to try for free!)
Very thin needles make it more bearable. Some people have reported that Target pharmacies use thin needles. The downside is that the injection can take a little longer, but you barely feel it. Be sure to tell your attendant that you have a bad needle phobia.
My method to handling shots without going full convulsive vasovagal syncope has been to distract myself. If, like me, you tend to collapse or convulse, tell the pharmacist and you can get the shot lying down. If you tend to infodump, my nurse looks forward to hearing everything there is to know about axolotls. I also sometimes prepare a YouTube video to stream while I get the shot. It can help to call up a friend on the phone and have them talk to you.
Two words: gaming apps. If you’re concentrating on Fruit Ninja or Tetris or some other timed games, your brain has less ability to panic or even notice that a shot is happening.
Also, pediatricians tend to be able to give really fast shots because they deal with babies.
