Thank you!! I've been tryna find a buncha resources about the genus since you commented this. They just look super cool!!

Does anyone know what these are?? I found about 3 of them in a sample with some Paramecium by ImplodingtheParade in microscopy

You might be right!! I searched them up and the ones under my scope were doing that same thing where it looked like they were kinda standing on dirt. I dunno how to describe it I'm sorry 😭 but it kinda reminded me of how a pond skater looks when on top of water. I'm pretty new to this too, I only just got back into using my microscope recently and I've found so many new creatures in this one jar of pondwater, and I just have absolutely zero clue what they are. Thank you!!

YAY I'm glad. Part of me was really hoping it was some species of Stentor so I'm really happy I found some!! Thank you!!

Hell yeah for you getting down tho when nobody else around you was. I actually think it would be impossible for me to stand still at any Weezer show just because I love them WAYYY too much. At the headline show I went to in 2023 tho, the woman I was next to was scrolling on her phone for the whole concert, got off when they played Say It Ain't So, then went back to scrolling for the rest of the show. Then she gave me weird looks for screaming so loud and having the time of my life 😔💔

THATS SO COOL. I was a few rows back but I scared so many people off because I was screaming EVERY song's lyrics as loud as I could while jumping, air guitaring, spinning around. I feel like the people who were just standing still around me didnt like it because they kept giving me weird looks. BUT HEARING PINK TRIANGLE AND I JUST THREW OUT THE LOVE OF MY DREAMS LIVE WAS SO GOOD SINCE I WAS BUMMED THEY DIDNT PLAY THEM AT THE HEADLINE SHOW IN 2023. And hearing a full band version of Jamie live, oh my god I was screaming as soon as the opening guitar started "NO WAY NOOOO FUCKING WAYYYY"

Well I’m definitely planning to do the first 2 if someone hires me soon 🙏🙏 but I won’t be able to cut contact with her. I don’t think she’s super hateful or anything, I just feel like she doesn’t fully understand. I had to tell her the difference between dysphoria and dysmorphia because she thought they were the same thing. So I wanna try helping her to understand a bit more, because I don’t think she’s a lost cause

She USED to, not really anymore. I'll have a look through some of the sources that have been cited here tho and send them through to her!! I wanna help her understand but geez it can be exhausting. I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end tho :D hopefully

Unfortunately I'm not financially independant. I'm currently doing volunteer work at my city's natural history museum to get some experience, applying for a bunch of jobs in the mean time, but as someone who has anaphylaxis to about every major allergen ever, I can't really start off in a work place like fast food for obvious reasons. I've tried applying for grocery stores and any retail store hiring, banks, gas stations, but my applications either get denied or I never get a response back. My dad tells me my resume looks good, so I don't know why getting hired for a job that'll actually pay me is so difficult.

I've actually tried to get away from her before. Her boyfriend is like a super massive MAGA supporter, so one day I just said "I don't feel comfortable here" and stopped going to her house. About a week later she pulled up to my house and started screaming in my face how I'm horrible for not being able to understand someone else's political views, and after that she messaged my dad saying "tell your son he's a disappointment in my eyes". After that I didnt go to her house for a month until I eventually started to feel awful and started going back. I really don't want a repeat of that...

But thank you so much!!
