Dear Reader

Sweet Nothings (how you doin', baby? ;) )

Like Any Unloved Thing (i don't know if i'm real if i'm not being touched)

hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak

sending my love and warm thoughts to everyone in the southern united states whos dealing with a winter storm! here’s some tips

gotta be somewhere at 8? start your car at 7:45, crank the defrost and heat up

don’t have winter boots? that’s fine! layer up some socks for warmth and try to walk on any dirt/grass to avoid ice. if you can’t avoid ice patches, keep your weight balanced on your foot (press down carefully and with your whole foot)

layers. start with a tank top, then a shirt, then a sweater, then a jacket, then another jacket!! hoods are your friend, keep your ears warm. jeans are terrible for holding warmth so wear leggings under jeans

open your cabinets under your sinks so your pipes don’t freeze

close your blinds as best you can/put saran wrap over your windows and the seals to cover any leaks and keep in the heat

when driving, reduce your speed by at least 5 mph, maybe 10 if it’s especially icy

if you find yourself spinning out, let go of the wheel and let off the breaks. don’t try to course correct!! you can pump the breaks a bit but try to let the car come to a stop naturally

bring your pets inside! also check your car wheels before leaving in the morning as stray cats can and will sleep there for warmth/shelter

drive carefully, drink lots of warm drinks, eat lots of soup, and consider giving to shelters/homeless organizations/food banks. winter storms are hardest on those who have little. northerners feel free to add any advice you have!!

Hey besties!! Its officially summer and as your local fish nerd and environmental science major, I thought I’d drop a quick reminder to check that any sunscreen you use is reef safe!! Our coral reefs are slowly dying bc of global warming (ocean acidification, etc) and certain chemicals present in sunscreens only exacerbate the process!! Here’s a little info-graphic from Safe the Reef to help everybody out!

https://savethereef.org/about-reef-save-sunscreen.html

If you see a sunscreen you are currently using, don’t just throw it out though. Use it in a pool or while you’re sunning, just not in the ocean or freshwater around you. Plastic and toxic waste are both issues too, so just finish what you have and never buy the brand again!! Personally, I’m trying to finish all of my Sunbum stuff before switching to a safer brand like Thinksport!

Baby sunscreens are usually reef safe too, bc babies have sensitive skin so their sunscreens tend to only have zinc oxide, the best sunscreen product.

There’s also this thing called the HEL list to keep an eye out for in your sunscreens. They’re the chemicals that are pollutants and show up in sunscreens and other skin products. NEVER FEAR THO BC THIS IS NOT A CHEM CLASS, the absolutely stunning, gorgeous, and amazing Haereticus Environmental Laboratory has gotcha covered. From their website, “Products labeled with the “Protect Land + Sea” Certification Seal mean that the product has been laboratory‐tested using analytical‐forensic techniques to verify that the product is free of the chemicals that are on the “HEL LIST.””

This little symbol right here:

http://haereticus-lab.org/protect-land-sea-certification-3/

For all you uber nerds like me who wanna know what the HEL list is, here ya go:

- Any form of microplastic sphere or beads

- Any nanoparticles like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide

-Oxybenzone

- Octinoxate

- 4-methylbenzylidene camphor

- Octocrylene

- Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA)

- Methyl Paraben

- Ethyl Paraben

- Propyl Paraben

- Butyl Paraben

- Benzyl Paraben

- Triclosan

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk! Have fun this summer but don’t be an ass to the environment or people!
