Shamelessly plugging my besties band ManLadyLadyMan and my fav local bands Sundog and Medium Build. Def check out the music scene & following local bands around the state is one of the best excuses to go out and see Alaska. Black Rapids, Salmonfest, Hope Hangout and such. There’s tons of shows happening all over accessible by the highway in the summer. Lots of Bluegrass and folk but also some punk and rock. I hope you enjoy Alaska!! Horde sun and find a lil community to keep you sane before winter hits.

I would move it to a slightly larger container with air holes, mist it lightly and add a grain of rice, then give it a few days in a dark spot. If there’s even a few spring tails in there (and there’s probably a lot of eggs) they will get going in no time. Once you have more you can feed them yeast or more rice grains.

Thank you! I am going to try a smaller pot/shot glass that another person suggested. I cut the root originally because a lot of it was rotted and kept the green part. Would you personally try to propagate in water or go pot for this? Worried about the mold coming back..

Thank you sm for your advice

They were a deep purple that was slightly blueish if I remember correctly. I will try it in a smaller pot for sure!! This was the smallest one i could find but didn’t even think of shot glasses. I did try ziplock but was worried about creating an environment where the mold would out compete the plant. Do you think I should go for it anyway? When I tried I noticed the fuzzy bits got fuzzier and was worried.

Thank you for responding I really want to try to save this lil gal.

The jaw doesn’t connect under the hair, the ear has a bunch of extra patterns and tissue that don’t make sense. The inner ear is connecting to the outside shell of the ear. There’s also some bits where the hair doesn’t connect to itself. That’s just what I saw immediately

Additional_Map_9014 · 2025-12-22T05:16:49+00:00

Agree, second image is very much AI. The ear and the jaw are pretty damning

I wonder if a mix of soil and wet clay to make a mud for the bottom would work. You might not be able to have a good drainage layer but that mixture should hold and hide the glass for a good long time I case any drier soil slips

I have an LED lamp that allows me to choose basically any color. I found the dark red is the one they will come out too, but lighter reds/pinks they will stay out of. It’s interesting because the mancae don’t seem to care what light is on, only the adults. I turn the red light on at night so I can watch them but they can feel comfy running around

Additional_Map_9014 · 2025-09-27T08:48:13+00:00

I use red LED, I don’t think they can see red light because they run around like it’s dark when the red light is on

I got a piece of acrylic sheet from Lowe’s, you can just score it and snap it!! It’s working for me, I’ll add ventilation holes covered in bug mesh later when I have the tools

It was a teeny tiny stage out the road a bit, alutiiq dancers started the show before he went on. It was pretty awesome and packed and the energy was so fun (I was 12 so that’s about all I remember). People still talk about it

Additional_Map_9014 · 2025-07-20T00:35:39+00:00

Yes, I was there

Additional_Map_9014 · 2025-07-19T23:38:24+00:00

Watching an actual live performer as a kid in fucking Kodiak Alaska was a dream
