🚨 Hey Tumblr—We need your kelp! 🚨

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is here for you — and for the ocean — during the coronavirus crisis. But it’s hitting us hard in many ways and we need your help, right now, to come back strong. Please urge your congressional representatives to support emergency relief funding for us and other nonprofit aquariums, zoos and museums!

Under normal circumstances, visitor revenue makes much of what we do possible, including our exceptional day-to-day care of over 80,000 animals and plants, our rescue and rehabilitation of stranded sea otters, and our work to tackle the greatest threats to the health of our ocean planet. But our ability to continue this vital work is uncertain due to the unprecedented loss of revenue during our closure. 

We look forward to the day we can welcome you back to the Aquarium in person, and continue building the world our children—and all of us—deserve. Until then, you can help us by asking your congressional representatives to support emergency funding for nonprofit aquariums, zoos and museums in the next relief bill. Thanks for your conseaderocean!

To my few followers:

These can be some very boring, frustrating and even depressing times while most of us sit in quarantine. I don't want to assume everyone knows what to do in these situations so here are some important suggestions to keep depression at bay:

1. Maintain daily hygiene and wear real clothes. I know it's tempting to lay around in your PJs all day but doing what you would normally do helps snap your brain into activity mode.

2. Keep active. Even though you're stuck at home that does not mean you get to sit at your computer 24/7. Get up, stretch, do a few jumping jacks... Whatever to get your heart rate up.

3. Get some sun and fresh air. Even if it's just for a moment. If you can go for a walk even better. Your body NEEDS sunlight and fresh air.

4. Don't be too afraid to buy one or two unnecessary feel-good drinks or snacks like chocolate. Budgets may be tight but when you need a seratonin boost go for a bite of chocolate. Your mental health is extremely important after all.

5. Take this time to practice skills or learn new ones. This is a good time to learn how to make butter, learn how to sew, make your first animation... Do things that make you feel accomplished.

6. Reach out verbally to someone. It is NOT enough to just text talk... Although even that is better than nothing. If possible you should voice chat with someone.. Video chat even better! More than anything if you're already feeling down reach out to someone, anyone.

The worse thing you can do is succumb to feelings of depression. Don't over-sleep. Don't eat a ton of junk food. Don't sit at your computer 12hrs straight. These will ultimately make you feel worse. Keep your head up, stay active, and keep living. :)

If any of y’all didn’t know, there’s a free online library, aka

https://openlibrary.org/

and I found like, twelve ebooks I’ve been wanting to read on there, and blasted through like three of them during the course of a boring-ass shift.

Today is a sad day. Bernie Sanders has suspended his campaign. Even though many, inlcuding me are pissed about it, and I think he should have waited until April 13th when the count is released, in another way perhaps it was the right thing because he could not stand seeing people sacrifice their health and lives to vote for him amidst the pandemic.

If you live in a state that has not voted in the primaries yet, know that Bernie is still on the ballot, he did not “drop out”, he suspended his campaign. Lately he has been focusing his efforts on the pandemic issue as well. I know there is a lot of crap out there about Joe Biden, but if you live in a swing or red state, please know that even someone like him is preferable to Trump.

A lot of effort has been put to silence Bernie Sanders, to the point that if he did win the primary, the Democratic Party establishment might do some sabotaging to make sure he never goes even near the White House.

As for the movement, keep fighting. Find more leaders to rally the movement for future elections.

So April Fools Day is coming up and in light of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) causing a pandemic, I’d just like to say to anyone who’s planning a prank this year:

DO NOT SPREAD FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT COVID-19

DO NOT GO OUT IN PUBLIC AND PRETEND TO HAVE COVID-19

DO NOT POST ABOUT FALSE “CURES” FOR COVID-19

DO NOT  DO ANY PRANKS INVOLVING COVID-19

Remember: Confuse, don’t abuse!

Legend has it that a Yokai named Amabie, a bird-headed, three-tailed siren with long hair, emerges from the sea in times of epidemics. If enough people display her portrait, she will return to the sea taking the plague with her. Reblog or post your Amabie!
