Beyond what can fit in a Venn diagram, both publications believe in treating contributors humanely. That’s one reason why freelance journalists love working with us, and why both publications regularly get pitches from some of the best writers in the business. It’s also why staff members tend to stick around. Paying staff and freelancers fairly isn’t cheap, however, especially when all of our stories are freely available online. That’s where you come in. Making a contribution to Hakai Magazine’s new home at bioGraphic (under the auspices of the California Academy of Sciences) will help us continue producing awe-inspiring multimedia stories about the oceans, the coasts, and beyond. We’ve already raised $56,000. Will you help us bring in another $94,000? With gratitude, Krista Langlois Overcoming my dislike of asking for money​

This Week’s Stories​

​ For the Love of a Little Sea​ The birthplace of experimental marine biology is in decline. Will Ireland rally to save it?​ by Olive Heffernan • 5,500 words / 28 mins ​

​ Little Books with Big Subjects​ These marine-themed children’s books have lessons to share without sacrificing story.​ by Adrienne Mason • 1,600 words / 8 mins ​

What We’re Reading​ This week we highlight a selection of stories from our new partner, bioGraphic, showcasing some of that magazine’s best work about marine and coastal environments. “The Eider Keepers” On a remote Norwegian archipelago, an age-old tradition illuminates the bonds between wild ducks, wild places, and the people who care for both. “Past the Salt” In San Francisco’s salty South Bay, an ambitious wetlands restoration project seeks to balance a return to the ecological past with the realities of a changing future. “Hawai‘i’s Ancient Aquaculture Revival” A determined group of activists is bringing back the aquaculture practices of Native Hawaiians, aiming to improve food sovereignty in a group of islands that imports nearly half its seafood. “The Unsung Reef” Australia’s corals may get all the headlines, but the country’s kelp-dominated temperate reefs are at least as important and imperiled. Now they’re finally getting the attention they deserve. “Downward Spiral” Nautiluses have survived all five of the planet’s previous mass extinctions. But climate change may be sending them ever deeper, in search of cooler water—and there’s only so far they can go.​

Why the Wicked Reign and How the Righteous Can Rise

"Why are the wicked reigning over the Earth?" "Because the righteous aren’t!" "But I never appointed the wicked to reign." "I appointed the righteous!"

That’s what the Almighty told me, at the beginning of the 2020 plandemic: there is only one reason why evil people rule the world: because the good people don't. But the wicked haven’t been appointed by God. They don’t have a royal scepter, nor do they have a divine mandate, or a heavenly blessing. They have nothing. It’s the children of the Most High who have the crown on their head, the royal mantle over their shoulder, the scepter of authority in their hand and the glorious blessing on their life. Yet, it’s the devils who reign on Earth. Why? Because they have one thing: deception. They infiltrated the Church with deception: “Don’t reign as kings on Earth. Instead, hide in your churches. Wait for a rapture. Look for Christ to return and He will fix it all. Just wait and see.” Billions of believers fell for the bait. Easy peasy: just wait for Jesus to save you. That’s how the wicked reign: they deceive the kings.

The rats robbed the royals. But it’s about to change. This is the time where the righteous will rise to reign. Christ said: "If you hear my voice and turn from your evil ways, then you will sit with Me on the throne and reign, just as I sit on the throne with My Father and reign with Him." Did you get that? Our mission to America and the world is more than bringing the people back to the Giver of life. It’s also about destroying the mind control on the Church, so the greatest army in the world will wake up and take their position. When man was created, Genesis describes that the Eternal One said: “I give you dominion over all that I have created.” The children of God were appointed over all of creation! When evil invaded the world, and demonic hybrids - the nephilim - inhabited Earth, demanding child sacrifice, while eating humans, God instructed Joshua to kill these demons in human form, the giants who devoured mankind. Did God say: “Sit and wait until I come and do it”? Did He say: “Sing hymns and read verses until I save you from these monsters”? No. He said: “Go and kill these demons. Deliver humanity from this great evil.”

The instruction was to go to war. Face the fallen angels head on. Take them down. Like David who ran to Goliath, a descendent of the nephilim, a satanic giant who inflicted terror on all the people. But the little boy who knew his God, ran to him and took him out. How different is the Church. How horribly different are the millions of church-goers. They rather sing “Maranata” - “Lord come and save us” - instead of sling their rocks into the skulls of Satans demons. But Christ commanded: "Go and heal the sick. Go and drive out the demons. Go and care for the poor. Go and establish justice." When the children of the Almighty were created, we were given dominion over all God created. But we let the rats from hell take it from us. We rather betray creation through a selfish, egocentric rapture deception, then to lift up our scepter and reign with the King. “Why are the wicked reigning?” “Because the righteous aren’t”. “But I never appointed the wicked to reign.” “I appointed the righteous.” It’s time to shake off the lies from hell and accept the mandate from heaven.

Let the kings arise and take their place to restore all of creation to its original purpose. That’s our message to the compromised Church. Stop waiting for a rapture or for Christ to come and fix it for you. Christ dwells inside of you. You are His army. He is in our midst. We don’t need to wait for Him to come. He is right here. We are His temple. We are His arms and legs, His hands and feet, His body. He is waiting for us to finally wake up.

Took this one on the way to work yesterday.
The minimal hours of daylight at this time of year are crap, meaning the sun is already below the horizon before I'm even at that poxy place........but it does mean I get to see some reasonable sunsets as I cross the river.

Dear Mongabay Reader,

For those I haven’t yet met, my name is Sonal and I write to you today from my home in Mumbai, India, a city with a National Park within its limits and a beautiful coastline filled with marine life. I love the beauty and diversity of my country’s many varied natural landscapes and I imagine that no matter where you are, you too have equally stunning landscapes that inspire. My work at Mongabay with Alec and the rest of our team gives me hope that we can protect these places. sigh oceanic life leave us be please happy to share
