@skinnylatte Oh my gosh! Apple Photos must be following this conversation because this just popped up in my memories! This is my daughter as a jelly for Halloween.

I met some of my coworkers

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

I love going to see the jellies

@skinnylatte I used to go to the aquarium a lot when I was little and this is the room that has left the biggest impression on me by far, I still remember what the fonts on the walls look like

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@ryanmalabed wow!

A coworker showed me her anglerfish plush toy

[geraineon@sakurajima.social]

@[email protected] omg I love this! I really like anglerfishes. Did your coworker make this herself or did she get it somewhere?

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@geraineon hehe it was a gift so I’m sure you can buy it

Many of my days in Monterey kick off here. It’s the coffee spot near work I tend to have breakfast meetings at, and also the mid point stop on my bike ride there.

Some days I feel like I’m in a John Steinbeck novel

[saadazim@mastodon.art]

@skinnylatte Does this mean you have their seal of approval?

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@saadazim otterly

@skinnylatte I just wanna say I am really glad your bike got stolen a while back (you got it back, so I don't feel bad about saying it :-)). Because that's how you got boosted into my timeline and your posts have brought me so much joy since, with all the food talk, and the doggie & cat pics, and now the aquarium ... thanks for sharing!

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@lipow oh! So random. I’m glad we connected too

@skinnylatte Sometimes it's really funny how the world works. Also, Antje Boetius, the German scientist who is coming to the aquarium as the MBARI president and CEO (https://www.mbari.org/news/mbari-names-antje-boetius-as-next-president-and-ceo/) used to live & work near here and I once almost bumped into here in a narrow hallway on the way to a lecture, so if you narrowly miss bumping into here some day think of that

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@lipow oh wow! Everyone is very excited she’s coming here for sure.
