Watched #Ocean yesterday. Took tissues for the gut-wrenching parts but managed to hold it together! Fingers crossed we protect 30% of marine areas by 2030 #30x30. Only 21 of the required 60 countries have ratified vs. signed so far.. treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDe...

Go full-screen for the first watermelon spacewalk over the poles filmed by f2.com (the ISS only orbits west>east & never sees the poles). X video: x.com/satofishi/st... (SpaceX & Chun's $$$ took them there!)

Seriously multitasking this week but logged on just in time to watch her stand for a moment surveying the city then step down & gently manoeuvre her 3 eggs underneath her & lie down. What a privilege to watch. Thank You @uniofleeds.bsky.social sustainability.leeds.ac.uk/our-work/bio...
