Saturday was Magna Carta Day, so I missed my chance to remind you that there's some eel history lurking behind the Great Charter. Let's do it now! Famously, the 1215 Magna Carta banned fish weirs on the Thames, the Medway, & all other major rivers in England. 1/2 🗃️🧪

My field is more than 60% women. Shark Week, marine biology's biggest stage, doesn't just feature more men than women... it features more guys named Mike than women. And that's ignoring the pseudoscientific nonsense, wildlife harassment, and near complete lack of any real conservation content 🧪🦑

Beware of ‘Shark Week’: Scientists watched 202 episodes and found them filled with junk science, misinformation and white male ‘experts’ named Miketheconversation.com A study offers evidence that marine biology’s biggest stage is broken, and suggests ways to fix it.

90% of being a poet is just knowing what the names of the trees and the birds and the fish where you live are. The rest is just looking at them and writing it down.

Other countries have safety nets. The US has women. Their labor creates the illusion of a DIY society, making it seem like we don't need a net. Writing HOLDING IT TOGETHER was a labor of love and fury and I'm so grateful to share it with you all #PubDay www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/697130...

It is May 1st and Berkeleyside *still* hasn’t reported on the growing UC Berkeley encampment since calling it a “sit-in” on April 22nd (they’re at 175 tents!). It’s becoming harder not to view this as an intentional choice or a silencing from somewhere higher up. abc7news.com/uc-berkeley-...

For anyone following the student protests and wondering why they haven’t seen more about UC Berkeley’s encampment, the short answer is that local news in the East Bay has dwindled to such an extent that the closest Berkeley has to a daily last posted about it on April 22nd. Anyway, here’s KRON4.
