Well, logically, you couldn’t be the witch, because she was old when he was young. Well, it’s logical if you think like your father.

Hey there all you fish swimmin’ around in the pond. If we could have your attention please.
Kayleigh and I have been talking and as proud as we are of all the wonderful work y’all have done and continue to do, we’d like to encourage a little more interaction and public feedback by bringing you our monthly Big Fish Awards.
There are so many members of this pond and so many new writers putting out their work so what better way to highlight and support them than to honor their work by showcasing it for all to see?
Each month our wonderful big fish will select a guppie fic or series that’s stood out to them over the course of the month. We’ll also be asking our big fish to reblog the guppie story of their choosing, tag us (@spnfanficpond), and lead by example by leaving some feedback in the form of a short 2-3 sentence “review” explaining what worked well and their favorite parts of the story. From there we’ll take down their picks and create a master post that’ll be posted on the last of each month with all of the guppie fics and the corresponding reviews for all to see.
Kayleigh and I would like to remind everyone that these monthly “awards” are not prizes or a means for competition or jealousy. This is simply a way for us to offer a little more exposure, public feedback, and interaction between guppies and our big fish.
Thank you and if you have any questions, as always, feel free to message the blog or one of us personally.
Thank you all for being so amazing! Have fun in the water and happy writing.

That was my father’s final joke, I guess. A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him. And in that way he becomes immortal.

They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that’s true. What they don’t tell you is that when it starts again, it moves extra fast to catch up.

Tag-A-Giant
Here, a team of scientists and fishermen work together to tag an 800+ pound Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), one of the most powerful apex predators in the sea.
These folks are members of Tag-A-Giant (TAG), an organization that evolved from the Tag-A-Giant research program at Stanford University. Their mission is to help sustainably manage populations of bluefin tuna with scientific research and data-gathering.
Data-gathering is done through electronic tags surgically implanted into the tuna. The tags continuously record data on depth,location,surrounding water temperature, and the tuna’s internal body temperature, allowing researchers to study the movement and habits of this amazing fish.
The data stored in the tags is collected depending on the type of tag used. Pop-up satellite tags automatically detach themselves from the tuna after a certain amount of time, then float to the surface and transmit the data to a satellite.
Archival tags, on the other hand, are only obtained if the fish is caught—usually by commercial fishermen. As incentive, TAG gives out a $1,000 reward for the return of their archival tags.
…for science! (and sustainable fishing!)
*note: Pop-up tags also fetch a nice $500 reward if found, and can wind up washed up on beaches. Vacationers, keep an eye out!
