Every day, we kill around 274,000 sharks.

This isn’t sustainable. It’s madness.

👏Attenborough speaks out against industrial fishing 🎣

❌Killed “2/3 of all large predator fish” 🐟

❄️“Removing the foundation of an entire ecosystem” in Antarctica.

🦈Sharks and turtles survived the dinosaurs but may not survive industrial trawlers.

The simple (and somewhat personal) question I wanted to explore and have been wrestling with myself is "who am I when the gift is gone?". When the "talent", the "charisma", etc is stripped from you, are you still a vessel for service? --- https://t.co/S38v5JofDm

NEW WORK: BEYOND THE ENDLESS LIGHT - https://t.co/S38v5JnHNO --- I believe in personal projects. While you wait for the longer form narrative stuff to materialize or as a little aside from the norm - as an avenue to “play” like a kid with your friends again.

The world’s 1st octopus farm would cram a MILLION of these smart and sensitive creatures into tiny tanks before painfully freezing them to death – but a massive public outcry can help stop it. Sign and share now! #BanOctopusFarming https://t.co/sLwiD0yCAY

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.

18 000km and 344 days later, Bheni the green turtle has reached Djibouti! Rescued 2 years ago in Saldanha Bay, Bheni's journey back to health and beyond is thanks to our Turtle Rescue Network and satellite tracking. 🌍🐢 Learn more: https://t.co/ogrhey5AaK #turtlerescue

Kryvyi Rih. An ordinary five-story apartment building hit by Russian terrorists with a missile. The first to fifth floors of one of the stairwells were destroyed. So far, seven people have been reported injured, including two children. Emergency rescue operations are underway, with everything being done to save lives. People may still be trapped under the rubble.

Every day, every night, Russia unleashes the same terror. More and more civilian objects are being targeted. Russia only wants to continue the war, and each of its strikes negates any claims of diplomacy from Russia.

Ukraine needs weapons to defend itself against Russian terror and stronger global support to make diplomacy real and effective. Without principled decisions and strong support for Ukraine, Russia will have no motive to pursue peace and will only continue choosing new targets.

At least 63 people have died in Spain after flash flooding smashed a large area in the south and east of the country. These disasters are only getting worse, and stopping the industries and systems driving climate collapse is the only rational response.

#PSA @RafaelaFMoura producer and CEO of @RFM_Productions is a fraud that hired me as a freelancer and took my files without any payment. Even after a LOD from my lawyer, she is still refusing to pay for my services. I highly recommend to not trust this person/company.
