Going out to sea
As one of the cold-tolerant people on staff, I go out to sea on the long research trips in the winter when no one else likes to go. That being said, I'll be away in the North Atlantic (will probs still be able to see land) on a bottom trawl fishing vessel from Firday into next week. I'm praying the weather holds out, since I usually start losing my mind at day 5 LMAO.
This trip, we'll be testing a potential bycatch reduction device called an excluder that, hopefully, excludes a fish called a Red Hake from being caught. If all goes well, the fishermen will catch more of their target - whiting and squid - and not red hake, which are not doing well. Below are some pictures for the very scientific result we want:
^ Whiting/Silver Hake - YES!
Atlantic Longfin Squid / Loligo Squid - YES!
Red Hake - NO!
Hope that clears it up.

“there are plenty of fish in the sea” = there are more people out there who you could get with
“sleeping with someone” = having sex with them
“sleeping with the fishes” = got murdered
my proposal: “there are plenty of other fish to sleep with” = next person you fuck will kill you

honestly it was so big brained to have will graham be a fisherman cause like everything else about him is so prey-coded; he's the dog rescuer, he has seventeen mental illnesses, his brain is on fire, he's the lamb in the grip of the lion. but he's also the fisherman. he ties his own flies, he goes out into the river, he baits and waits and sinks his hook in, barbs and all. from the beginning he always has power, even when he seems like he's at hannibal's mercy, at jack's, at his own, he still rolls a cast and waits for the bite

I moved recently to start a new job and part of my commute now involves one of those high capacity toll booths where a two lane road suddenly flares out into 5-7 lanes of total anarchy with no lines anywhere, and then narrows back down to two lanes again, and we're just supposed to sort ourselves out? Who designed this
anyway I dreamed up this helpful anatomical guide on the drive home
