I talk about medieval eels a lot. Partly that's because I'm a historian and talking about the past is kinda my jam. And partly because they're still culturally important in a lot of ways.
But also because they're endangered and overfished, but it can be hard to get people to care about them.

Canada's most lucrative fishery — and a global black market — rely on American eel. But Canada was among the countries who voted against global trade restrictions on the eel last week, and won't list it under the Species At Risk Act, @moiradonovan.bsky.social reports. thenarwhal.ca/american-eel...
Illegal American eel fishing is big business in Canada. Ottawa just voted against protections | The Narwhal
Federal fisheries department also announced American eel will not be listed as a species at risk, despite illegal fishing pressures

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

I am calling for Wilmer’s immediate release from NWIPC—he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires.
I am grateful for Wilmer’s willingness to let me share his story.

Another huge issue, and I don't think people even know this is a thing, is that just about everything is done with smart phones now. And many (most?) seniors literally cannot work their phones. Signing things, texting, dealing with spam and fraud or even using the basic functions? They're often lost

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?
