For the complaints that voting doesn't work & you can't possibly get rid of fascists that way:

I only lived in Hungary for 2 years but I did have Orbán's politics impact me, it is really good to see him get the boot

I'm so happy for Hungary, this has been a long time coming (and hopefully an indicator that the tides are turning)!

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

maybe I'm late to the party here but I really did not expect the Venus fly trap's habitat to be (exclusively!!) a small region in North Carolina

The Salas y Gómez and Nazca ridges form such an incredible ecosystem that feels surreal, filled with rare, spectacular wildlife. This area is under threat but it can be protected under the #HighSeasTreaty. Call on your country to ratify now! 📷 Manu San Félix, Vellmari

so happy for them

"It’s a bright spot on the moon,” CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen said, his voice breaking up, “and we would like to call it Carroll.” The crew all shared a hug after. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/s...

Latest #ArtemisII Moon pic 🌕 LOOK HOW DIFFERENT THE FAR SIDE IS! so unfamiliar! Good day to remind everyone that we must fight to preserve the radio heritage / quietness of this region, it’s the only place shielded from Earth’s EM radiation. I hope there are radio telescope there one day! 📡 🔭

Happy putting PEEPS in the microwave day to all who celebrate

A @wto.org deal to end unsustainable fishing subsidies is at a standstill as three countries block consensus. While 116 nations have ratified phase one, disputes over fairness and scientific capacity continue to divide wealthy and developing fishing nations. Elizabeth Fitt reports for #Mongabay.

Another notification telling me a phishing email has been intercepted. I shudder to think what would happen if the Dean ever did urgently need me to send him an Amazon gift card.

Happy fish day, French people

I know I'm like 30 years late on this but god what a huge bummer to learn how poorly Simone de Beauvoir treated her female students

An often overlooked part of marine conservation, seagrasses are so crucial for preserving near-shore biodiversity, giving small fish a safe place to grow, and storing carbon. Successful seagrass transplants are an easy win for the ocean. 🌊

eau de toilette really sounds like it'd be from the toilet

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.
