Nice to get away from the U.S. for a few days and into the Costa Rican jungle where biodiversity thrives. There is so much worth fighting for.

Another exhausting week in U.S. politics. I miss the old days, when politics seemed less volatile and even a little boring. I barely paid attention. And therein lies the problem. I wasn’t paying attention.

Just finished Amphibious Soul by Craig Foster. Connecting with a wild species is rare and magical. I was lucky to experience a sperm whale peering into my eyes. A breathtaking moment - equal parts wonder and grief for what our species has done to this planet. 📷 Dr. Richard Smith.

Is there a starter pack on @bsky.app of powerful women in leadership? Or can you share recommendations? No offense to the men on here but I NEED to see more female-identifying voices in my feed. Betting on strong women to get us out of this mess. 👩🏻‍🏫👩🏻‍🚀🏋🏽‍♀️👩🏾‍⚕️🏄‍♀️👩🏽‍🚒

This is one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever heard. Humans suck.

Called. My. Reps. Today.

The @5calls.org app made it very easy to do. The hard part was deciding which issue to raise.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
