Tens of thousands of dolphins, porpoises, and whales (collectively known as cetaceans) are dying annually in European waters from bycatch in fishing gear – some populations are coming perilously close to extinction. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WhaleWednesday

🐙 Did you know the deep sea is home to as many as 1 million species? We’re celebrating #DeepDay by working to protect these critical deep ocean habitats and the animals living there from deep-sea mining. ❌ We must stop deep-sea mining before we do irreversible harm to the ocean: bit.ly/3Za22C3

Had a long overdue lunch date with a close friend today and it really lifted my spirits. In person connections are important for our social battery sometimes.

Oh, this is perfection "Characters at this year's Met Gala" 🧵

Today is Tuesday, May 6, the 126th day of 2025. There are 239 days left in the year.

Yes.

Day 10: Another circuit of hill walking today, did an hour with short breaks in between for sets of squats - 130 total. Tomorrow might be another rest day, or light stretches.

Day 9: Rest day yesterday bc muscles I hadn't used in years were sore as heck 😫 Did a walk around my hill incline neighborhood for the first time in mo ths and was not out of breath! Yoga stretches and breathing techniques for the win 😊 125 squats in 3 sets - yay booty!

This is Biscuit. During a routine spay procedure, vets noticed she was struggling to breathe. Turns out she had a diaphragmatic hernia putting extreme pressure on her lungs. She needed emergency surgery, and you can help her pay for it below ❤️‍🩹 15outof10.org/biscuit-2/

I used to be so hot

I would enjoy this. I deep dive into so many schools of thought just to know. Knowledge is never wasted.

My kid had long misdiagnosed hearing loss. When they finally diagnosed it they had to do surgery & put her in therapy for language dev, occupational & BM to help her along. In therapy I met so many parents who told me their kids had official ASD diagnosis, yet had never done a hearing test

For private sector assessors make sure to get confirmation on all their qualifications. Not everyone locally who says they are an assessor is fully qualified or up to date on assessment methods. Also, everywhere has a waiting list - could be up to 2 to 3 years, just be patient and apply for it.

If your child is nonverbal or speaks but not conversationally it does not automatically mean ASD, there are so many things it could be & some of those things need medical intervention ASAP. Even if you have to be on a long waitlist for full assessment, some tests like hearing can be done immediately

You might be right and they do have ASD or ADHD but they could also have other things including things that urgently need medical treatment or it could become permanent like certain kinds of hearing loss. Sometimes what you think is stimming is absence seizures. And there are so many other things

Please please please let your suspicion be accompanied by an assessment. Sometimes when I ask some of them what they used as ASD or ADHD qualifiers the info they had was inconsistent with both. For Jamaicans: you can register your young child for assessment at Early Stimulation Programme (waitlist)

Saw #Sinners tonight and enjoyed it thoroughly. The acting, production value, score, its integrated music scene, total visual aesthetics - absolutely well done. The subtle nuances for audience interpretation add to this original storyline 4.5 out of 5 stars. Have you seen it? What's your take?

Day 7: (With a rest on day 3 bc I was sore) Yoga exercises are definitely helping me actively move better through back pain I've had for 2+ yrs. Stretching has released so much muscle tightness in such a short time. As for the strength/weights exercises - 😫 they are not my strong suit.
