Spinner, tiger and smooth hammerhead sharks have all been spotted either by research teams or by members of the public off the coast of New England this year and in the past few years. They’re likely here because of climate change, says researchers.

The Art Love Club supports LGBTQ students and their allies at a time when the country is divisive and hate is on the rise. This year, the group designed two dozen signs to hang around their school to help kids feel safe and empowered during the school day.

Absolutely love this from @amandabeland.bsky.social on being a new Celtics fan

I'm a huge Celtics fan now. Nobody is more surprised than me
I've watched every Celtics game this season, writes WBUR senior producer Amanda Beland. I don’t walk away from my friends when things get tough and my fandom isn’t conditional either.
