A sad day for the seas
I need to print this out as motivation next time I’m finishing a story.
I'm using a lighthearted tone but the lack adequate sewer system has impacted everything in Southampton from affordable housing to the environment.
Here is my @us.theguardian.com story on what happened when NYers fled to the Hamptons during the pandemic: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...
Big news from my hometown, Southampton, NY, USA, which may finally get a sewer system, bringing its wastewater treatment into the 21st century.
Great reporting by Dan Stark for The Southampton Press:

Zoos have always given me the creeps. As an adult, I can mayyyybe understand the education/conservation/research justification, but remain generally skeptical.
Isn’t it in zoo’s business model to keep profiting and therefore having more capitive animals?
I can’t wait for this episode.
Apparently the most difficult part of whales evolving from land-based mammals into water-based mammals was how their bodies processed salt water. They’ve got incredible adaptations to basically turn salt water into fresh water, which as mammals, is essential for their life.
I would watch this over the Olympics, Super Bowl or Netflix, any day:

Very sad to see yet another news outlet eradicate jobs for journalists. Reliable information about the world and what’s happening in it, from local to global scale, is harder to get with fewer and fewer skilled people whose mission is to provide it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...
Incredible 😍
Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.
A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
