Siale the white female humpback whale. Born in Tonga last year, seen off Sydney this year. A reminder we know so little about these amazing creatures. These photos are shared during a time where we need a little light. #siale #photography #whitewhale #humpbackhighway #insta

Jaguar vs river dolphin. Who would win? This captures a very special moment. The moment I saw river dolphins for the first time. I reckon the river dolphins would win based on speed, strength and ability to navigate murky waters. #scicomm #bolivia #jaguar #travel #dolphin
Can you please do something for me? If you know #DavidAttenborough, can you please pass this on? So many people claim to know him, whale let’s make good of that and please pass on this very special message to him. A very raw message from me here to the world. #happybirthday

Space and the ocean right here on earth, what do we know more about? #SPACE. A gentle reminder to life on earth that we still have lots to learn about this planet. I’m totally pro advancements in science derived from space investment, but can we also please give our big blue a little love? #NASA

A war is raging in Europe, and Trump has said basically we won’t defend them. So they have to think about their own defense without the US, all while the US began military action without consulting them and is now demanding they send their already stretched defenses to Iran.

There is no amount of fuel that can be safely stored at the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub. We need to create a plan to cease operations entirely. I’m running for City Council because we need legislators who are prioritizing emergency preparedness and public safety over fossil fuel corporations.
So Democrats were all for ensuring Iran didn't get a nuclear weapon as long as Trump wasn't the one to do it? Imagine hating someone so much that you would rather see everyone fail. Join the party that wants America to succeed. Vote Republican!
