Everyone who reviewed 107 Days ignored the passage where Kamala uses a Jay-z lyric to subtly call Josh Shapiro a bitch

This should be a wake up call for the AoNZ government. The wreck of the RMS Niagara is the same age as the Rio. It too is a serious risk for an oil spill that could seriously impact the coast from the Hauraki Gulf to the Bay of Islands, including the Poor Knights marine reserve.

I'm on a federal listening session on fishing and someone just made the ask to roll back the US shark finning bans I was not expecting that

Speaking at Ocean Week on Friday and Cornell next week

At Our Ocean in Greece last year, I was asked what topics we are not talking about. I answered, "If you ask people in my community what the three greatest threats to the ocean are, they would answer, the 'military, the military, and the military'." www.reuters.com/investigatio...

I kind of want to dress up like Jesus and walk around DC today

I'm not skipping work today I've been raptured

I wonder if we'll ever find out how many people canceled Disney+? variety.com/2025/tv/news...

This is bad

My employer hosted a public event last week and a guy showed up dressed as Abraham Lincoln (I don't think it was really him) How do I get this to happen at one of my ocean events?

This is what the New York Times wrote about the new high seas treaty I could have sworn the first claim was actually the opposite, and the second claim is not mentioned in the treaty www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/c...

At my old job I kept a note next to my desk that read "Beware the Noble Savage" because conservation organizations love having Indigenous peoples sing to them, pray for them, or tell exciting stories, but rarely are we given the opportunity to talk about our struggles youtu.be/z76jNI-6REw?...

Congrats to everyone who worked on the High Seas Treaty, from negotiating the language to convincing 60 countries to ratify

You have more power than you realize. I have a friend in Saipan, Representative Sheila Babauta. One time she met Barack Obama and she asked him, ‘I want to do something about the military in my islands, they’re bombing our islands. What can we do?’ www.americanprogress.org/article/5-wa...

Today is the deadline to comment on the Roadless Rule, Trump's plan to open nearly 40 million acres of National Forest (an area the size of North Dakota) across 36 states and Puerto Rico to potential logging, oil and gas drilling, and new mining americathebeautifulforall.org/en/insights/...

I'm watching the Blue Jays pull away from the Red Sox and Yankees in the standings and with the year we're having it would be pretty funny if Canada won the World Series

I found this article insightful Here is a gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o...

If the UK is going to allow bottom trawling in their marine protected areas, they should also stop calling them marine protected areas www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I haven't cut my hair for 1.5 years Should I try to bring back any of these looks from the 2000s?

Fuck MLB for not playing Yankees vs Red Sox on the MLB app that I paid for during one of the best pennant races this decade

In honor of the launch of our Green 2.0 Mentorship Database we are asking environmental leaders "Who Mentored You?" We start the series hearing from @taotaotasi.bsky.social, Conservation Leader and Senior Fellow at the @americanprogress.bsky.social about the legacy of his mentor Cinta Kaipat.

Several Indigenous scholars (and others) have written about Western countries doing this; it's fascinating to see China do it www.cnn.com/2025/09/11/a...

If there is a position you are interested in and the application process asks you to answer very specific things -- you should address them Sending a form letter about why you love the ocean is a waste of my time and yours This is a public service announcement

Did you know that in 2000, when less than 1% of the ocean was protected, the United Nations Millennium Development Goals set the target of protecting 8.4% of the ocean by 2014? 8 point 4 by 14 doesn't roll off the tongue, does it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uNn...

I see value in banning fishing in places where no fishing is taking place. But it can't be the only strategy for protecting the ocean. www.franciscoblaha.info/blog/2025/9/...
