Lots of people on my feed are concerned about the destruction of NOAA by the Trump administration and Elon Musk, but much of what I’ve seen people post about is the national weather service. That’s vital, but NOAA does so much more than that! My latest, for @ucsusa.bsky.social 🧪🌎🦑🐠

For "fish I'd like to catch this year" #SundayFishSketch assignment, I went back to this fish puzzle I made for the Iowa Chapter @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social meeting raffle in 2021. If I don't catch some nice bluegills this year, it is completely my fault. A nice walleye would be acceptable too.
