i love living in such a beautiful place and i’m endlessly grateful for the opportunities i have. the more i see and love this world around me i can’t help but feel the weight of collective grief bear down even harder. how could anyone look at environment and think it’s worthless and expendable

seeing people redo introductions so here’s mine!
I’m Luke! I’m a Marine Biology (BS) major in SE Alaska. I’ve spent my few years as an undergrad working w/my mentor on humpback & killer whale research. Besides uni, I enjoy illustrating marine mammals & I hope to study them in grad school! 🐋💫
