Just in case you were thinking,
“To hell with it. Let’s move.”
OK, maybe a temperate rainforest island in the Pacific Ocean?
This is Tofino.
In Canada.
Not too bad. Not too bad at all. Pretty good, actually.

Oh, changing the time by one hour for Daylight Savings is messing with your sleep schedule? "Why is it dark at 5 p.m.," you ask?
Frilled sharks live in such deep water that they never see the sun at all! You didn't think about THAT, did you? No, you only ever think about yourself.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire
A warning from 1765 that's screaming at us today. When we surrender critical thinking for comfortable lies, atrocities follow—against truth, justice, and our shared humanity.

I had a lot of things to look forward to this year.
One brief meeting and it was all over.
More than 17 years of my time, energy, passion, everything. Done.
“Financial” they said. But want to emphasize how important the mission is. When all that I have worked for has been for THE MISSION.

Jane did activism right. She could have put on a hoodie and joined Animal Liberation Front and then kicked in the door of a lab to save 10 chimps. But she knew there were thousands that needed help and that would be it. So she leaned on science and advocated and educated. She saved thousands.
Jane Goodall, the influential primatologist and conservationist, died this week at the age of 91. NPR's Scott Simon reflects on her legacy and love for chimpanzees.

Did you know that we used to have warm water beluga whales? This is the pilot whale-convergent beluga Denebola brachycephala from ~8 million year old rocks (Almejas Fm.) of Isla Cedros just off Baja California. Read more about white whale evolution here: coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-...
