Questioning the Effectiveness of Iceland's Beluga Sanctuary in Ensuring Improved Welfare for Cetaceans in Captivity
In 2019, the SEA LIFE Trust established a beluga sanctuary in Iceland for two female beluga whales, Little Grey, and Little White, moved from Changfeng Ocean World in Shanghai, China. After spending over a year in an indoor quarantine facility, the marine mammals were moved to an open-water sanctuary in Klettsvik Bay the following summer. However, in August 2022, a boat sinking caused oil and fuel contamination in the bay, forcing the whales back to the indoor facility for two years of cleanup and repairs. Despite SEA LIFE Trust's assurances of their return to the sea pen, there have been no updates as of January 2025, raising public concerns about the project’s success and effectiveness.

Disney's Pocahontas: A Problematic Portrayal. Content Warning.
Content Warning: Discussions of racism, cultrual appropriation and genocide against indigenous people. As a child, I was a big fan of Disney's animated films. My sister and I eagerly expected each new release, and our parents would always take us to the theater to see them. We also owned the VHS tapes and would watch them repeatedly. One of our favorites was Pocahontas, the first Disney film to feature an Indigenous princess as the main character. I loved the movie, the toys, and the soundtrack.

Save Florida’s State Parks
Growing up vacationing in Florida, I cherished the opportunity to visit its state parks. These parks provided an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering a haven of natural beauty and wildlife. Unlike golf courses, resorts, or sporting courts, these parks were adorned with nature trails, open spaces, pristine beaches, refreshing springs, historic monuments, crystal-clear rivers, and the enchanting presence of nature itself. Every family visit culminated in a perfect day, leaving us with cherished memories.

Five Things Star Wars “Critics” Need to Remember. Content Warning.
As a self-respecting and open-minded Star Wars fan, one significant challenge is dogmatic critics who claim to be "fans" of the franchise.
