It’s Earth Day, and some of us have spent not just our careers but our whole lives loving + studying the Earth. It is not an easy time.

Had a palette cleanse in the Florida Keys c/o this non-profit that rehabs injured/sick sea turtles. So far in 2025, 2 out of 3 rescues (including Lenny!) have already been returned to the ocean, where they can do awesome things like eat jellyfish! Heartening stuff: turtlehospital.org
