Happy #HagfishDay! We found this #hagfish inside a sponge while exploring Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 2018. The #Pacifichagfish (Eptatretus stoutii) is a slender, slimy, primitive fish found in cold waters worldwide.

like i really can't stress enough how absurd it is for a map that completely changes so many people's congressional districts to go through the entire legislative process and get signed into law while the people in charge never have to answer anything or listen to anyone's input

[Jen Rice @jen_rice_]

i mean now the map is in federal court to decide whether the state is allowed to use it in 2026 elections and even today in the hearing republicans still won't really directly say who made the map like as if it's still a secret? after it already passed??

Under the condition of anonymity we have received confirmation from a METRORail operator that it was the City not METRO responsible for deprioritizing rail signals.

“We’re in an energy crunch,” said Joshua Rhodes, an electricity expert and research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. “We should be doubling down on everything we can build right now. Making things more expensive is antithetical to that.”

The #RepublicoftheMarshallIslands is an atoll-based country of over 1,200 islands surrounded by 2.13 million km2 of ocean, the vast majority of which has never been mapped or surveyed. Revisit some of our favorite #wildlife sightings from NA174: https://t.co/054Kq9EUMW

Good overview of things, if Houston wants to be taken seriously globally it needs to adopt 21st century approach to transportation

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when you openly try to rig elections, you’re admitting that you can’t win unless you cheat.

Houston needs a master plan insulated from the whims of mayoral administrations that come and go.

[Strong Towns Houston @StrongTownsHTX]

The boundary for the proposed Scooter-Free zone is identical to the current areas of Houston exempt from the city's minimum parking requirements.

[Senator Molly Cook @MollyforTexas]

On day one of the special session, Texas’s Republican leadership made it clear that their number one priority is to protect politicians over people. The president is weaponizing your state legislature to serve himself, not Texans.

Every year, guns kill 570 Asian Americans and 60 Pacific Islanders. Most of those deaths are suicides.

At the AAPI Against Gun Violence summit in Chicago, we confronted what usually gets left out: the data, the grief, and the patterns this country refuses to face.

Today in 1853, City Council passes an ordinance prohibiting the firing of weapons within city limits.
