I’m absolutely obsessed with my current D&D character which is great for D&D but it makes it hard to focus on work sometimes. I super need to write my thesis whoops. So anyways let me tell yo...

Hm, I think I need a new header line for my tumblr. I think I can call myself a systematic ichthyologist now. I’m not really an “ichthyologist in the making” anymore, though I’m still lea...
