When the North and South polar regions get together ...

#Tariffs #USA #PolarAlliance #Penguins #PolarBears #Seals #Orca #Arctic #Antarctic #HandsOff

A meeting of various Arctic and Antarctic animals on a snow-covered plain with a few large rocks.

The animals are an orca, an elephant seal, a "little penguin" a polar bear, an adélie penguin, a crested penguin, a fur seal, a walrus, and an emperor penguin.

They are gathered around an ice table on a rock, with the orca in a hole in the ice. They are all looking at the camera and waving. The crested, adélie, and little penguins, being small, are standing on the tabletop. Above the walrus is a sign made of a large block of ice on a pole with "Hands Off" carved into it. On the table is a brass desk plaque that reads "Polar Alliance". At the top of the image is the word "Tariffs?"

People magazine reports on the celebrity match that I care about: macaroni penguins were found to be breeding with rockhopper penguins to make little rockaroni penguins

i try to emphasize good news

and if i can't do that i try to emphasize anger over sadness

but there's nothing i can do about this bit of news except be depressed:

"Mass drowning of chicks puts emperor #penguins at risk of #extinction"

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/09/mass-drowning-of-chicks-puts-emperor-penguins-at-risk-of-extinction

essentially, #globalWarming, the #climateCrisis, is breaking up the ice the #emperorPenguin depends upon to raise its young, and this is resulting in mass killings of their young now

😔

Lift-off

"Huddled in a Zodiac boat in icy waters off the Antarctic peninsula, I waited patiently for an Adélie penguin to propel itself from the water to the safety of an iceberg. Persistence delivered as I captured this penguin in an almost levitational-like state, as if posing for the camera”
