Field Museum specimens suggest increasing microplastics in freshwater fish since 1950s

We are feeling crabby about the invasive European green crab that has made its way into Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary! 

First appearing along the West Coast in 1989, likely through the ballast water of cargo ships, these highly adaptable predators feast on shrimp, oysters, clams, and small Dungeness crabs. This takes important food sources away from local shorebirds and migratory seabirds. Learn more about this species and how you can get involved at https://farallones.noaa.gov/eco/bolinas/greencrab.html. (Photo: Kate Bimrose/NOAA.

self care is also being honest with yourself about your negative habits and mistakes. it’s also taking ownership of your faults and growing from them. self care is diverting from a negative space to a positive one. creating light and balance. blooming. watering your own flowers. being gentle but honest with yourself.

so take care.

guys again please please please please please please please think critically about those posts that are like “i didn’t realize [really common or nonspecific thing] was an adhd thing and doesn’t apply to neurotypicals/anyone else at all!!” bc a lot of the time they are completely unfounded (sometimes frankly insane) and give people really messed up ideas about the differences between nd and nt people and how those differences work. and that shit doesn’t help anybody in any way! you don’t have to pathologize and essentialize everything you do, and you shouldn’t build up firm definitional barriers between neurotypes that don’t really exist. i’m talking about that friendship post specifically rn which is a prime example (come on, you can’t characterize how all people of a certain neurotype manage something as infinitely complex as human friendship), but it applies to SO many other things i’ve seen floating around i feel like i make this post every other day. the mental math thing comes readily to mind too.. honestly just think about these things before u spread them like true information, check the sources or go find sources at least.. please
