Books like True Detective S1

Maybe spoiler for True Detective S1, I guess?

I’m looking for a book that has similar vibes as True Detective Season 1. Murder mystery/detective work in a rural setting, complex characters and an oppressive atmosphere. TIA!!

Fin Nipping or Fin Rot?

photo 1 is currently, photo 2 was in May.

Can someone please help me figure out if the deterioration of my betta’s fins is due to nipping or rot?

I keep seeing conflicting info on whether this is a result of disease or if he is bored/weighed down. he’s very active/reactive and eating regularly, and i’ve seen no changes in his behavior which is why i didn’t look closely enough to catch this earlier.

he is in a 10 gallon tank with a heater. he has two filters in his tank, a hang back and sponge. both are on the lowest flow possible. i added the sponge filter a few months ago (before i noticed this change) because we were having some issues with the other filter. he didn’t seem bothered by it so i kept it to keep the tank extra clean once the other filters issue got resolved.

His tank parameters are generally fine, but I was misguided into thinking that if his parameters are good i could do water changes less frequently. I was doing one every month or so and topping off water as needed. Since I noticed this change in him and did more research, i’ve been changing the water frequently (25% every couple days or so).

Does anyone else listen to her long form youtube videos on repeat?

her voice is so soothing, i love coming back to her talking videos and listening while doing stuff around the house etc. this one and her video about the divine theater are my faves.

All the Cullens should’ve been portrayed as siblings

I think about this so often. the only reason why they have to be in high school is because they have to be younger than carlisle and carlisle also has to age himself to be older enough to reasonably be their adopted father. why not have carlisle just be the older brother of a few years to edward, jasper and rosalie and emmett and alice their significant others and could avoid having to be in high school? it’s not like it would change their timeline at all- they’d still have to leave when it was becoming evident carlisle wasn’t aging.

Why do I wake up screaming/sobbing?

I generally have had average sleep most of my life but for the past year or so I have frequently (as in, multiple times a month) woken myself/my partner up by screaming or sobbing very loudly. When my partner asks what I was dreaming about, I either can’t remember or say something very benign. I often only vaguely remember it happening the next morning.

Is there a reason why this might be happening? I’m always slept talked but have never woken myself up screaming or crying before this started happening consistently a year ago.
