April is Sikh Heritage Month in Canada, by the way. Oh, and this year Vaisakhi is on April 14th.

Earlier today, I watched a YouTube video in which a man was trying to save several dying supermarket shrimps. He went all out: buying fine premium coral sand and water filter. I found out he had also previously saved supermarket crab, octopus, and lobster.
          
          That sounds like something Johan would unironically do.
          
          If you want to watch it yourself, go look for the username waterramen and have fun.

I was staying up thinking how cool would it be if one day Johan gets his PhD and publishes a manual of sustainable fishing practices.
          
          The story isn't there yet BUT it is fun to imagine. Let's see, maybe something like this:
          
          A Longitudinal Study of Pathogenic Entanglement in Low-Country Riparian Systems
          
          In this seminal volume, Dr. Sitohang explores the precarious intersection of urban effluent and aquatic vitality. By synthesizing nineteenth-century Dutch mapping with modern proteomic imaging, this manual offers an uncompromising look at the microscopic battlefields beneath the water surface.
          
          Central to this discourse is the European perch (Perca fluviatilis). Once the stoic sentinel of the canal, the perch now navigates a synthetic buffet of micro-plastic polymers and bioluminescent viral filaments. Dr. Sitohang treats the perch not merely as a data point, but as a resilient witness to our industrial excesses. While the perch’s dietary shift toward PET-polymers is statistically alarming, one cannot help but admire the creature’s steadfast adaptability. It is a fish of remarkable, if unintended, grit.

Regarding the sequel's cover: I can't help but think that if the title weren't there then this could be mistaken for a weird textbook about European fish pathology.
          
          But maybe that's the point! It almost looks like a textbook Johan would read, no? Maybe it even has a section called “The Socio-Environmental Impact of Viral Strains in Benelux Waterways.”
          
          (Benelux = Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg)

The sequel to Our Invisible Threads is officially titled Our Entangled Threads. I will try to update every other Wednesday at 3 PM EST, but that's subject to change depending on how well the week goes for me. 
          
          In the meantime, please do read the blurb and (just as importantly) the foreword. Thanks.

@ominousqueer Thank you for your kind words. No rush. The book will still be here whenever you're ready.

Yay! I still haven’t read the first one but I promise I’ll get around to it. I’m just kind of swamped rn and I’ve not been on Wattpad. I hope writing goes well for you <3

Affordable book recommendation from me:
          Therapy Quest by Janina Scarlet
          
          I'm really enjoying it. The protagonist is dragged into a world that would end in seven days because of a sorceress who has made it her mission to either numb or control other people's emotions as well as her own. The protagonist teams up with a legion of mystical beings such as a giant, a witch, and an elf while learning spells that actually are coping skills/defense mechanisms against anxiety.
