For everyone paying attention to earthquake & tsunami info, a lot of funding for tsunami & earthquake monitoring comes from NOAA, but the fed gov is cutting their funding. Call your legislators, tell them to fund NOAA & USGS, who in turn funds regional network operators, like AK Earthquake Center

I was sent into the Lum Farm store to buy eggs, and I came out with yarn. This happens.
Now, my Orcas Island blanket is well underway! I’m a sucker for natural, sheep-colored fiber, and it’s a treat to get it directly from the source.

Imagine a life spent riding currents, never touching solid earth! @mbarinews.bsky.social Senior Scientist Bruce Robison is a midwater ecologist; he suspects this pelagic octopus is Japetella diaphana. ROV pilots collected this footage during the 2023 #OctopusOdyssey expedition at 1,047 meters.
