You should care about Jamaica and Sudan even if you don't know anyone there and the news isn't covering it. The anti-Blackness embedded in folks' lack of empathy is gross.

You know who benefits from the #governmentshutdown??
My dog. My dog is a huge fan of this whole situation. At least Lola is enjoying herself. #whateverLolaWants

My hometown, always weird in the best possible way #keepportlandweird

I will never forget reading a “final_final” PRINTED draft of a PhD thesis in which the name of the university was misspelled on the cover. Princton. Ever since, it’s been prinKton in my head.

Can the Deadliest Catch crab fishery survive warming seas? After a brutal heat wave, scientists race to predict how Bering Sea snow crabs will cope with climate change

This is the kind of crucial work my colleagues do. It’s great science, enacted through creativity, hard work, dedication, and complicated logistics. What the article doesn’t say is that almost everyone in this story is currently furloughed. #NOAA #alaska #FisheriesScience

We are proud to serve the American people. Since we’re furloughed and can’t do our complicated, challenging, interesting jobs protecting the marine environment, we will protect it in a very basic way- by picking up trash on the beach.

Dogs make everything better. Lola said to say hi to your pups. She’d do it herself but she needs a nap.

This is such good news, so glad to see dedicated scientists reinstated!

Can't really understate how insidious and deliberate it is that the Trump administration has gone after transgender people and Palestine supporters in the first six weeks.

It's Fascism 101 to target the most vulnerable groups with the least defenders first.

Today I #StandUpForScience2025 by creating a quilt I can take to non-STEM audiences to help them understand what is going on & why science matters to everyone. Quilt is titled Data Interrupted and has fabric squares blocking access to data. #QuiltSky 🧪

A friend made this, he’s been at #NOAA for decades. I love it and I think it speaks to what we are going through as a country and as an agency.

Bottom line: The intentional loss of exceptional scientists and other terrific public servants at NOAA leaves our country less safe and more vulnerable.

I am so sorry, Mallory.

Another word for "regulation" is...

"consumer protection"
"environmental protection"

"Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You can ignore climate change,
But it won’t ignore you.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Stop trying to suppress science, it doesn’t work that way.

Smokey the bear lets you know you- and just you- are responsible for fighting forest fires now

They’ve just fired the seasonal forest firefighters. What could possibly go wrong?!? www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

If you see this, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.

Legit.

A comic by Poorly Drawn Lines. An interviewer asks a woman “Ma’am, what is it that keeps you going?”. She responds, “My desire to crush my enemies.” “And my sense of wonder.”

My vibe for the foreseeable future in this timeline.

About our agency NOAA is an agency that enriches life through science. Our reach goes from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor as we work to keep the public informed of the changing environment aro...

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.”

Is equivalent to asking

“Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.”

NOAA manages large ocean fisheries in US waters. Scientists there conduct surveys, sample fish, and run complex models to estimate the levels of sustainable catches. NOAA is recognized as a world leader in creating jobs, producing food, and avoiding overfishing. Kudos to NOAA fisheries!!!!

Miss Piggy, attires in jailhouse chic, pulls open the bars of her cell to escape! This is clearly a metaphor for the patriarchy.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy….

Cocoa and white sleepy Australian shepherd snout up close

This snoot makes me happy.

I put up a wreath!! But only because my cousin mailed it to me, not because I have my holiday-life together.

Yay! Thank you!!

Where did you get this vest? I’ve been looking for one for Lola, ever since our mushroom hunt coincided with opening day of deer season this fall….

Thanks, Koren! My arm was sore for several days after.

Optimist: the cup is 1/2 full.

Pessimist: the cup is 1/2 empty

Fisheries scientist: if we take 20% of the fish in the cup out annually, will the cup refill with fish? What happens if the cup gets warmer? What if we shake the cup?? Do we know how many fish there are in the cup now?
