This is about the tension I feel at being a spearfisherman and an ocean lover, and why reef fish need MPAs more than ever. Read it at: @dailymaverick #oceanconservation

@hellpants Howzit gents!

@ingridsinclair Congrats! Such wonderful news!

[Christopher DZ Mason @Cdzmason]

@rosalyster @DangerBrooks Rosa I think you can take credit for connecting these two dog-proud dads. Saw Dan's writing on your feed first. Imagining a world where we can all sit around a table talking happily and seriously for hours about our excellent animals. @rosalyster @DangerBrooks

[Christopher DZ Mason @Cdzmason]

@DangerBrooks Looked at your pics and am convinced Cracky and Enzo (mine) are doppelgangers. Also, they share the searching loyal eyes and the sense of having arrived after turmoil - that sigh from the couch. Man, what a privilege to have these dogs!

[Christopher DZ Mason @Cdzmason]

@DangerBrooks Definite ancestral roots shared! Check this out - the main doggo character surely a Very Good Boy https://t.co/OHE2OvjVjo

@DangerBrooks So he's a pitbull (and I'm guessing) Africanis mix from the streets of Cape Town. Dad was an unknown interloper but we saw his mom on adoption - and he's got that pittie jaw.

@hellpants In the UK? Amazing

[Christopher DZ Mason @Cdzmason]

@DangerBrooks Admittedly a bad photo but I maintain the resemblance (of napping eyebrows) is striking.

[Christopher DZ Mason @Cdzmason]

@DangerBrooks I will endeavor to find a photo that reflects this!

[Christopher DZ Mason @Cdzmason]

@DangerBrooks Dan, we don't know each other but your dog looks identical to mine. Surely a very good dog.

"If only I could just rehearse one Wednesday in advance, or repeat a single Thursday that has passed!
But here comes Friday with a script I haven’t seen." This poem tonight. Wow. @brainpickings inighttps://www.brainpickings.org/2015/07/02/amanda-palmer-reads-wislawa-szymborska/

@slotow @dailymaverick Thanks bru :)

[Christopher DZ Mason @Cdzmason]

Thanks to @dailymaverick's Our Burning Planet section for making the space for people to speak to the most pressing environmental issues of our time. For me, wildfires are surely one of these issues. #wildfires #europe #SouthAfrica #ClimateCrisis #environment

[Daily Maverick @dailymaverick]

Urban-wildland interfaces are the most rapidly expanding type of human settlement in the world. As populations grow and land use changes, we push our civilisations deeper into these spaces that were once wild. This causes a greater risk of wildfires ... https://t.co/0F7KaC06xI
