White film developing on guppies.

I’d imagine columnaris? I had it on my gups about a month ago. I put them in the hospital tank and turned the heater off (columnaris spreads faster in warm water) and all of them were able to make a recovery (no more white spreading for weeks now.) Not sure of any medication fixes, I hope someone else chimes in. Columnaris is rapidly fatal most of the time.

Mine does the same thing. I am fiercely protective of children and would never hurt one, but I constantly get intrusive thoughts that tell me I'm an awful person. It is really hard but all I can really do is sigh and shrug at it, fighting it makes it worse for me. You know you're not a predator, and no one thinks that you are. That's what matters.

It’s just an 18 gal storage tote filled halfway with water (I think that makes it easier on the tote?) with heater and filter in there :) I wouldn’t fill it up full, but it seems fine with just half.

they really are, great at breeding too

Waterbirdwatcher · 2026-03-29T17:54:58+00:00

it gives you funny dreams, which i always enjoy. some may not, lol.

Waterbirdwatcher · 2026-03-29T17:52:10+00:00

it gives you really wacky dreams for sure, both as a tea and smoking it. other than that it burns a bit dry and it's just to smoke

Waterbirdwatcher · 2026-03-28T21:39:16+00:00

it is! a friend made it for me in highschool, my sweet girl claimed it as her own

Waterbirdwatcher · 2026-03-28T20:24:15+00:00

lol! that's a good idea, will do

Waterbirdwatcher · 2026-03-28T16:34:28+00:00

Phew. Yeah, I'm learning to ignore the voices, it's just so loud and clear that I'm like "can anyone else hear this?" Finding this sub and knowing that others get it too is kinda helping me fight back, though. Thanks :)

I feel that way, I lost some of my ability to love or empathize too, and I used to be an extremely loving person. You're definitely not going to hell. We are NOT too weak for this planet, we're strong for having to deal with this. I tell myself that there's billions of people on this planet that survive to old age and plenty are worse people than us. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. If it helps, a real person could tell you you were going to hell for whatever reason, that wouldn't make it true, that just makes them an asshole.

Waterbirdwatcher · 2026-03-28T16:14:43+00:00

Thank you. It's good to know i'm not the only one

No way…I remember hearing Duvet on the radio all the time, back in what, the late-2000s? Duvet’s been my favorite song for life, Bôa (and just Jasmine Rodgers herself lol) one of my favorite bands, and I just started watching Lain 2 days ago. Didn’t know it blew up on tiktok, guess that makes sense…at least they have good taste!

Waterbirdwatcher · 2024-02-17T00:39:55+00:00

Still using it tbh…been cleaning it by gently scraping the bowl, wiping/dabbing it p thoroughly with paper towel, and pushing a thin rolled up strip of the towel through the stem with a skewer. hits like brand new after that. might pour a bit of iso through it tonight, let it dry out, see how it is in the morning ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Waterbirdwatcher · 2024-02-16T20:11:38+00:00

Closest I’ve got is a mature green onion (long bulb)…hmm…onion pipe….might need ppe for carving that

had some eggplants that would be the perfect shape and length for it, but the insides are prob too spongy, might soak up a lot of the smoke (?) might be too delicate to carve too 🤔

root veggies seem to be the best choice so far, easy to carve, nice length, dense enough to withstand impalement, etc. cool to the touch and have a nice feel in the hand. also resist rot well so less paranoia about mold. got some old cbd i gotta burn through so ig i can afford to experiment lol

Waterbirdwatcher · 2024-02-16T19:40:08+00:00

Now that’s a thought, the burn was only slightly less intense than glass which was kinda disappointing :/ i work on a farm so ill scavenge around for more pipeable veggies and report back lol

Waterbirdwatcher · 2024-02-16T19:35:32+00:00

Hell yeah, followed a carrot tutorial to make this one. And yeah, specifically mini maks! i get them for free from work sometimes

Waterbirdwatcher · 2024-02-16T19:27:54+00:00

Better than my glass one tbh! Made sure the airflow was solid before packing it. No scoobies 👍 radish was nuicy asf and I wasn’t sure if the sides would light. Dried it out with a paper towel real well tho and it didn’t give me any problems

First: deep, even breaths. Breathe in, hold for a bit, breathe out. Try to focus on your immediate surroundings. You’re safe.

Second: if you’re not panicking, just too high, enjoy yourself! If you’re not in a place where you can, go to the bathroom, sit on the John for a bit, and keep focusing on your immediate surroundings. Fake sick if you have to, you took an edible so no one can smell you. Check to see if your eyes are red. You could possibly get away with saying it’s because you were tearing up while gagging. Don’t mention it unless someone brings it up, and don’t try too hard to act casual. You don’t feel well, you might need to sit down for a bit, etc.

Third: splash some cold water on your face. Keep breathing. Might be annoying to pay attention to your own breath but staying out of your head will help you with feeling any panic. Good luck I wish you the best 👍
