The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

It's safe to say I'm now hooked on photographing dolphins. No blue whales today, but being surrounded by 600-800 dolphins is unbeatable 🦑🦊🌿

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

Ordinary Germans did not come out in numbers to try to block the troops taking their Jewish neighbors away, so this moment is giving me a lot of hope and pride. Americans aren't ready to capitulate to fascism

In places like Antarctica, small things can make a difference. Scientists are finding that penguin waste is helping form clouds, which could be offsetting the effects of climate change.

RE-posting this "old" blog post that needs quite a bit of updating. Basilosaurid whales have had, up until recently, relatively stabilized taxonomies. Recent discoveries and interpretations have threatened to upend quite a bit of it. How "good" should our fossil evidence be? #whaleontology

Happy #FossilFriday! This Tenontosaurus skull (MOR 682) was recently taken off exhibit for study by visiting researchers to MOR. Before going back on display, fossil preparators will thoroughly evaluate the condition of and conserve the specimen.

It's cold at our digsite today, but we just found this delightful troodontid raptor tooth. This is the site where we have found parts of a troodontid skeleton. Maybe a jaw is nearby, waiting to be found next! Dino. Park Fm, Montana. From US public lands #FossilFriday #dinosaur

While in Northern California, I thought I would try my luck to find any sights of a Stellar Sea Lion. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any. However, I did come across the familiar sounds (and smells) of California Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus).

"Sources said the administration is specifically considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems." Pure vandalism. This could never happen in a country with functioning checks and balances.
