A friend (for whom I can vouch personally) had to give up her dog in a divorce, and now her shitty ex is moving to a no-pets location and is going to send her dog to a kill shelter if he isn't rehomed by June 15th. She can't take her dog back for financial reasons and the dirtbag isn't lifting a finger to rehome poor Lentil. So her friends are doing the lifting. They've been in contact with every no-kill shelter and rescue they can find, but so far, no luck finding anyone who can take him in.

This good boy is currently located in NYC but can be transported!

Let's get Lentil to safety! Contact info is in his resume above!

If you want to understand why corporations seem to have so much influence over our politics today, start with the Powell Memo.

Back in 1971, Lewis Powell wrote a memo warning that business interests needed to organize, influence public opinion, shape education, fund think tanks, and become much more active in politics and the courts. What followed wasn't a short-term campaign—it was a decades-long strategy.

Whether you see it as protecting free enterprise or expanding corporate power, it's hard to ignore the results. Corporate lobbying exploded, think tanks multiplied, money poured into politics, and business interests gained enormous influence over public policy.

People often act like all of this happened by accident. It didn't. There was a plan, there was patience, and fifty years later we're still living with the consequences.

If you're interested in modern politics, understanding the Powell Memo helps explain why discussions about corporate influence, dark money, think tanks, and judicial appointments often trace their roots back to 1971.

Fish as fluid as the ocean. 🌊

All California sheephead start life as female and move through an array of colors and body shapes as they mature. Some female adults may transition to male as social and environmental factors shift, balancing the delicate ratio of individuals in their population.

While male California sheephead are largest and easiest to identify at a glance, a closer look at the lively waters of our Kelp Forest exhibit reveals a variety of female sheephead swimming through these fascinating life stages.
