Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
It's 1100. You're a peasant in Harmston, England. Congrats! It's a fine place to live. But at what cost? Eels. That's what. Each spring, the village owes Earl Hugh 75,000 eels in rent. So every fall your life becomes all about the eels.* Welcome to Harmston. Here's your net. 🗃️🧪
Meme. Medieval colored drawing showing a figure in a small boat with a large green fish attached to his head. A second fish has a grip on his oar. The figure is likely a man, but this is uncertain. His name is even less certain, but we'll call him Yedward. He seems like he's in trouble, honestly.

Yedward is wearing a long orange shirt, and is paddling his boat across a body of blue water. There are clouds in the background. He might have been wearing a hat at some point, but if he was, the fish has eaten it. He seems very concerned, and you would too. That fish on his head is no joke.

The fish has it's jaws around Yedward's head, and is arching its back so far that its tail will soon touch the top of its head. It's fins are thrust out, and it looks very graceful. We can't really see the other fish much; just it's head, with it's jaws locked around the end of the paddle in the same way that a toddler's eyes lock onto a bag of halloween candy.

It's unfair to name the man but not the fish, so we'll call the head-fish Merwena. She was raised on tales of Jonah & Moby Dick, & longs to be like her literary heroes. She's going to eat this man if it takes all day. He can't paddle forever. Especially with a hole in his head.

The oar-fish (different than an oarfish) is likely named Intercesilly, and seems like someone who's good at sudoku but not parties.

Meme text reads:
"It's gonna be a long fall"

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
Cover from The Economist from two years ago "Say goodbye to 1.5°C; why climate policy is off target". It has a graphic of the Earth with an apple on its head, and a arrow shot through the Earth.
