Oh, the Manatees! They're full of flukes, apparently. 🧪 journal-of-parasitology.kglmeridian.com/view/journal...

🤿 The descriptively-named purple stripe jelly. This one joined me on the safety stop, wrapping up a beautiful Monterey dive

🤿 caught a thornback ray relaxing in the shallows. Beautiful vis here at 6 ft deep turned into thick snot below 15. So, this is the only video from Sunday’s dive

@echinoblog.bsky.social Odd echinoderms in Monterey Bay on Saturday. Shoals of little sand dollars(sand nickels) @50ft. Also a sea cucumber half off a rock in an L shape. The photo of the exposed part looked extremely red? Also, white diseased urchins everywhere. What’s going on?

🤿 Did my yearly Reef Check recert dives yesterday- and I still need to get better at spotting those little abalone. Also, my old urchin-stabbed drysuit still leaks, even after fully patching and leak testing. It’s back onto the workbench for more patches before the first surveys start!

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

🤿 This was supposed to be a video of the tiniest brightest orange nudibranch with a hermit crab harassing it. But it didn’t start recording until I thought I had stopped it. Instead, I got an unintended minute of swimming over the reef for all of you gumboot chiton and coralline algae fans

🤿 crazy thick red tide turned yesterday afternoon’s dive into a murky night dive during the day. I would have cut it short, but got super invested in trying to help a harbor seal catch some fish.
