US scientists are forbidden to communicate with Canadian counterparts. Funds are frozen and research deleted on joint projects such as Great Lakes research. Canada and France are both encouraging US scientists to apply for residency and research positions. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

The dense aquarium jungle is pretty, but overdue for pruning. The only space for fish to swim freely was right up front. Hair algae was the last straw! After a brutal thinning it looks sparse but the fish are loving the space. Even the lone shrimp made an appearance. #aquarium #fishsky 🐠

Please join the postcard campaign against Trump. Mail as many postcards to him at the White House (20500) as you can on MARCH 15. Here’s one of mine:

On March 15th, participate in a national day of protest by writing Postcards of Protest. #TheIdesOfTrump is the perfect day to let Trump know what you think of his new administration! Send letters/postcards to Pennsylvania Ave.👇

@kellybrenner.bsky.social hello! I'm a moth (and other insects) nerd and was wondering if I can contribute photos to your invertebrate page? Thank you. -Noelle

This is Bean, she (?) is cheerful and has a can-do attitude. I got her to be a helper for another goldfish that had some physical problems. Bean was a top-notch nurse fish, but eventually the older fish died. Now Bean needs a buddy.

Projecting. When they're accusing, they're confessing.

Correct.

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Check out this beautiful waterfall and its resident Valentine Orb on Fossil Creek in Arizona. This is a tributary to the Verde River.

We had a short trip to Arizona and my hub noticed this adorable, fuzzy scarab beetle. iNat suggests it is the "Punctate Little Bear Scarab Beetle". I'm a sucker for anything cute and fuzzy, even beetles.

He was not afraid when a 64-kilometre-long military convoy was moving toward Kyiv, when the Russians were advancing tens of kilometres a day, and when there was no help from the West or other countries. Naive fools think that he will be afraid now.

The king has lost his crown.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 VoteVets stands with Ukraine. Putin’s war isn’t just about Ukraine—it’s about global security. If we abandon Ukraine, US Troops could be the ones fighting next. Supporting Ukraine means defending democracy and keeping Americans safe. We know what’s at stake. We won’t back down.

Here's a great tactic from my youngest, who feels that their reps aren't responsive enough.

If your local Democratic group advises avoiding rallies at state Capitols if you don't know your group is permitted, now is not the time to worry about paperwork.Rump and Muskox do not have permits to gut democracy, gain access to your ss info or to shut down institutions they don't understand.

Tell that to the new Trumplican Dept of So Called Justice.

I attended a wildlife biologist meeting for this area. The USFWS and USFS biologists said that due to flagging DEI language, to avoid the use of "diversity" in communication. If we need to discuss genetic diversity, plant community diversity, wildlife diversity,we need to get creative. RIDICULOUS.

Next up, Rumpeo and friends are going to destroy our most reliable weather agency. Trump officials signal potential NOAA overhaul www.npr.org/2025/02/15/n... to destroy NOAA.

Yes…go with it!

It's been snowy around here.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

I love this. This should be the symbol of the new rebel coalition.

Do not eat the rich! They're full of all kinds of toxins. Compost them

In Germany over 200,000 protestors in Munich gathered against the Musk backed far-right / neo-Nazi AfD ahead of the German election. Thousands chanted "Save Democracy" and "Oppose Nazis" #3E

Currently there's a stunning exhibit called "Water Connects Us All" at the Webster Art Gallery in Port Angeles, Wa. It's not a huge exhibit but it includes fiber art, ceramics, glass, paintings and prints that capture the overlap of art and marine science. If you are in town please go!
