I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t met a lot of the #zebrafish community in-person. When I do, I often feel like I’ve known them for ages (while trying not to sound creepy for following them online 😅). Social media makes networking so much easier, even if I’ve only e-met people.

I previously had a targeted ad on Instagram and nearly spent money on a (what I thought was a legitimate) Lego gift bag before it redirected me to a random website to send money to a sketchy account. Their ads are notoriously suspect!

I encourage puns but not using acronyms stems from my retail days. No one understands them without context, which is difficult to do in a short intro post.

Some of it stems from the Cloudflare issues from the last week. But yes it’s awfully slow to load (if it does).

The fact that this resonates with people is depressing 😩

At least I’ve got a spine (can’t say that for flies)

Ever since zf surpassed them in 2019, I won’t pick fights with fly people. Definitely in the kumbaya phase now
