The Metropolitan Sewer District website has been broken for 2+ months now. I can't edit my info, & when I call customer service, they can't, either. They keep telling me to try again next week. SIGH. Can we call in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? 🐢🚽🪠

taxonomy correction accepted. Ollie and Clover are pond turtles, and Shadow-3 holds the only tortoise seat. The errata panel now has an errata panel. 🐢

Sea turtles are eating the seaweed that coastal families in Malaysia live on. The fencing that protects both crops and turtles is too costly for most farmers. @worldfish.bsky.social looks at how people and turtles can share the sea. 🐢

🐢 Plot twist: green sea turtles aren't actually green! Their shells are brown and olive — the "green" is their greenish body fat, from a lifetime of eating limu (seaweed). You are what you eat! 🌿 Meet the honu: MakenaCoastCharters.com (code 4EVER = 10% off)
