It may be the last year for our skeleton mermaid. She’s falling apart and zip ties aren’t going to keep her together much longer. So, we gave her a partner this year.

This song is in my head this morning. Is it because I got to witness 64 loggerhead hatchlings make their way to the water last night? You know what? Maybe #musicsky youtu.be/12bM1CqHoBY?...

Harry Styles sold out in less than 10 minutes for the Atlanta shows. I tried to get tickets. I got in at 9:11am and everything was gone. Oh well, I will not be paying secondary market prices. I guess I’ll just have to sing along to his records and put on my own concert. 😂

Rodger is right. Everyone involved in this “workout” failed this kid and they should all be held accountable.

My hot take(which will be seen by like 2 people): Everyone should sing. Whether you think you sing well or not, do it. Singing makes me feel good and I think everyone should belt out their favorite songs.

Jeff Buckley’s “Grace” turns 32 today — the one album David Bowie told the Village Voice he’d take with him to a desert island. “.. The best art comes from artists who have an unending, life-or-death urgency to speak their heart,” Buckley said before his untimely death. “That’s what I want.” #RIP

The NBA went on to say that they didn’t really search for evidence either. Okay, they didn’t really say that but they might as well.

Excavation done. Our loggerhead nest had a 95% success rate. Tonight we had 5 live hatchlings. We found 1 dead hatchling and 5 eggs with different stages of development. 126 total turtles made it out of our nest and into the ocean. It was an exhausting but excellent adventure.

Doug Ratcliff @dougratcliff.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Home from the nest. It was an early night. There were tracks on the runway this morning so we think we’re down to 10-15 eggs unhatched in our Loggerhead nest. Tomorrow is the excavation and we’ll see if we have any additional live hatchlings then.

Just got home from the turtle nest. Sunday 107 hatchlings while at the nest. We believe 2 additional hatchlings came out that night based on tracks. Monday no hatchlings seen but there were tracks from 3 this morning. Tonight we saw 1. We know there were 132 eggs. 132-113=19 eggs left. 🌊🐢

Just got home from the turtle nest. We had 107 hatchlings come out tonight. What we do is such a small part of their journey but it’s so rewarding.

Yup. Trans hate and misogyny are two sides of the same coin. These are the same assholes who have been bashing women’s sports for being “not athletic enough” and the athletes who are athletic as being “manly” and “ugly”. And now they’re being given massive microphones to mock the WNBA.

I don’t want to say where I think this grift is going because I don’t want to give them ideas. I’ll just say that I believe they are intentionally trying to harm women’s sports. Also, I agree with Sarah.
