New employee orientation at Monterey Bay Aquarium

@lisagetspolitik amazing! I’ve heard so many people say that.

@skinnylatte

For some elder color - I was at Pacific Grove Middle School when the aquarium was built. Before it, cannery row was all ruins - and it was sooooo cool down there. It was
a magical place for a kid to explore. Everyone got passes to the aquarium when it was built, and it was a treasure to have as an after school destination. One particular highlight was playing music for evening events there.

@grechaw I read that the hovden cannery guy wanted to build an aquarium in PG! He even got quotes for it but didn’t do it

Attending a staff-only internal guitar concert in the open sea exhibit this morning

You can watch some live cams here (of the animals, not the concert)

Meeting in the kelp forest (we are closed today for a staff only event)

[tante@tldr.nettime.org]

@skinnylatte you really have the absolutely greatest place of work.

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@tante I can’t believe it happened and that I get to experience all of this joy

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

There really was a guitar concert in front of the sea nettles this morning

@[email protected] my spouse often puts on the live cams of the jellies for ourselves and the cats ​​ we all love it!

[aud@fire.asta.lgbt]

@[email protected] (also one day I will get a tattoo of a jelly to swirl around my Medusa tattoo (because! not only are jellies amazing (they're a fucking colony!) but also jellyfish are called Medusa in Spanish!))

Move over, JK ‘TERFY’ Rowling.

Here’s ’Hairy Otter’, written by (probably) JK Owl

[douglasvb@mastodon.social]

@skinnylatte hahaha that gift shop is out of control. The big otter was really rotting and falling apart for a few years but I think they either repaired it or replaced it because it doesn't look as ratty now.

The Ed Ricketts lab next door is worth a visit when they open it for tours once a month.

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

@douglasvb haha yes it
Is so kitschy

I plan to check out Ed Rickett’s house soon

[riley@toot.cat]

@skinnylatte Shouldn't that be J. K. "Superb" Owl ?
