I talk a lot about the complexity of ocean conservation, and how real solutions can’t fit on a bumper sticker. Enter the Ocean Cleanup. Launched by a teenager giving a TED Talk, they claimed they were going to scoop all the plastic out of the ocean. 🧪🦑🌎

Why The Ocean Cleanup Hasn’t Solved the Plastic Pollution Crisis • The Revelator

Global problems are rarely solved by one person or invention. The Ocean Cleanup didn’t work, for the reasons experts said it wouldn’t. What can we learn from this?

Some people use sticker books to organize their collection... I will use them to justify drawing & making more stickers. That's right - after selling stickers for sooo long, I've FINally made sticker books!! And they're available right now! (I hope ya'll love these as much as I do!) [ #artshop ]

A spiral-bound sticker book titled 'STICKERS' with a cartoon shark illustration on the cover - a parody on a certain shark movie, of course. The books are placed on a wooden surface with blue flowers around it. All art by Byte Size Treasure

Three spiral-bound "composition" sticker books with fish as the shapes of the pattern instead of little blobs and the title block of each books CompoFISHion Sticker Book. The books are available in 3 colors - lavender, teal, and pink, and are shown arranged on a wooden surface with green tropical leaves. All art by Byte Size Treasure

Hello Friends! There is a nationwide book banning bill in US House of Representatives. If you love queer people, books, librarians, teachers, or good ole fashioned freedom of speech, please CALL your rep today. More info in the pics, and you can read from this script: 5calls.org/issue/federa...

Slide 1: a blue graphic with an outline of the United States. Red and white text reads: Call. National Book Banning Bill Proposed in US House of Reps. Tell your rep: Vote no on H.R. 7661.

Slide 2: a blue and red graphic with white text that reads: House Republicans have introduced a bill to effectively grant the federal government decision-making power over what books make it into the library. H.R. 7661 is a national-level book banning bill that would ban any book that, according to the bill's language, "(ii) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism." This means any book about a trans person or the trans experience would be banned from every public school in the United States.

Slide 3: a blue graphic with red and white text that reads: Call your reps. Tell them they must oppose this bill at every turn. It is egregiously unconstitutional, targets ideas based on ideological disapproval, and misleads parents and the public about the content of children's books. It does nothing to protect kids and will badly harm education. It will tie school material funding into knots and hurt anyone who is a library materials vendor, regardless of content. If you are a bookseller, librarian, or author, tell them your livelihood depends on the next generation of readers.

Please call your Reps and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE ACT, HR 22/S 128. Five Calls has a good script: 5calls.org/issue/save-a...

Oppose the SAVE America Act - PASSED HOUSE (UPDATED 2/11) ⭑ 5 Calls

Updates February 11, 2026: The House has passed the SAVE America Act by a vote of 218-213; Rep. Cuellar (D-TX) was the lone vote that crossed party …

Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)@portlandken.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

Spent the morning in the ER due to debilitating leg pain. Culprit: a pinched nerve! Meanwhile, I have a convention next weekend (Zenkaikon). 🫠 So uh... gotta re-plan my display to make setup easier and not make all of my bins too heavy.

Scientists knew sharks lived in southern oceans - but it was always believed that sharks didn't live close to Antarctica. WELP Last week, a massive sleeper shark was discovered in the frigid waters of Antarctica - about 500m down)!

Begrudgingly put my shop on maintenance mode for a bit. My shop has been the target of a bunch of scammers testing stolen credit cards in the last week. I have fraud protection apps installed that won't collect payment or will cancel immediately, but it's still tiresome.
