Our elementary schools had these screensavers. Could never pay attention to the teacher because I was hypnotized by the screensaver.

[757bg-deactivated20180207]

[merswine]

If you made the source image for the pipes a file and then deleted it, the pipes would be red and white striped, I remember.

Also where are the flying toasters, HMM?

I walked to a deli and got a sandwich to go and a coffee and while I was waiting these two teenage girls ran up and were like OH MY GOD JESSICA HOW ARE YOU and then hugged me and the one whispered “that guy was following you and taking pictures of you” and then they walked home with me and that one guy stopped following me and hONESTLY THIS IS WHAT I AM HERE FOR

[seals-need-love-to-live]

Y'all I was at the river just hanging with my friend and these two high school girls run up to us and say “Can you pretend to be our friends? Cause this guy has been following us,” and we sat with them and they called their parents to pick them up and I really want to share that story cause it’s SO SMART and when you’re in crisis your mind can just blank in panic so I want everyone to have that story in the back of their heads. NEVER be afraid to ask strangers for protection!

[starlabsforever-blog]

Once in like ninth grade, I was at Starbucks by myself doing homework and this weirdo came and sat at my table and was telling me how he was a photographer and how he was “scouting” for models and he really liked my “look” and he was trying to ask my name and how old I was and I was panicking bc I didn’t know what to do Then this middle aged woman came up to us and was like “EMILY there you are sweetie I was looking for you it’s time to go home!” and the guy left really awkwardly and then she told me that she had a daughter my age and asked if I told him my name and I said no and she told me to be safe Keep an eye out. Protect each other

The year is 2018. Your bills are on autopay. You just got paid and you still have $1200 from the last check. When you want something, you buy it without moving money around. Your credit cards are paid off. You and your friends have 2 international trips planned and paid for this year. Your parents are in great health and you’re able to help if they need anything. You love your job. Your desired creative career is falling into place and you get to take your little cousins to Six Flags and Universal Studios over the Summer. Your relationships are healthy and supportive. All of the toxic energy from the past 6 years is gone. You going to concerts, eating good across the states and your crib has art and warmth throughout. 2018 is going to be so good to you.

F**k Plastic. Really. No, really. Apologies for the swearing but I feel like it’s warranted. Today I wrote an article about the potential of the diving industry to be a role model private sector to taking concrete actions to reduce their plastic footprint and lead the charge in what feels like a turning of tide in global opinion of plastic. 

It reminded me of the changes I’ve seen since I started diving in 2001. How a plastic bag here or there turned into hour-long clean up dives, finding nappies and sanitary napkins, straws and plastic bottles that are used once and scar the Earth forever. And so much of it is under the sea - out of sight and out of mind for most of us. 

We’ve all seen the straw in the turtle’s nose, the seahorse wrapped around a cotton bud, the fish that grew around a six-pack ring, and been disgusted. I urge you to take a minute and consider your actions as a consumer - the effort it takes to refuse a straw (it takes practice but I promise you can make it a habit) is far far less than the number of centuries it will take for that straw to disappear from the planet. 

The photos are of a volunteer from Zoox on a clean up dive we did. This Trumpetfish was entangled in a (plastic) fishing net. It took over 10 minutes to free it, and you can see the scars it caused. If you don’t live near the ocean, there isn’t much you can do about ghost fishing (except learn about it, spread the word) but you can refuse straws, bring your own coffee tumblrs and shopping bags. And if you forget them (as I often do), don’t beat yourself up too much. Just keep trying, so they can keep swimming 😉
