Thank you so much, it means a lot!
Many federal programs are on the chopping block at the moment and we need your support. Thank you for considering! Note: Only N.C. residents can sign this letter. But anyone can call their Congressional reps! Sea Grant operates in every coastal and Great Lakes state, as well as Guam and Puerto Rico.
We fund research on how to exclude turtles as bycatch while fishing. We help figure out how to keep forever chemicals like PFAS out of our waterways. We evaluate the best technologies for onsite wastewater treatment (e.g. septic systems) in a changing climate. Learn more here: ncseagrant.ncsu.edu
My employer NC Sea Grant is primarily funded by the federal agency NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Agency). We conduct research, outreach and education to sustain our coastal and ocean resources.
Have a moment for the coast?π ππ’ If you love seafood, clean water, sea turtles or anything else at the ocean, would you sign this support letter for NC Sea Grant?

Looking forward to more affordable housing in District D! Proud to have approved the rezoning case to make this possible. Just around the corner from Kentwood Park, great neighborhood. #Raleigh
Date night with Doug. Together for 20+ years woah!!!ππ
Curious about your experience with and tips on BlueSky. Whatβs working for you? One more thing, I prefer longer form content. That will always be a challenge for me with this type of platform. Is BlueSky more of an online bulletin board or what I am missing?
I want social media to have diverse points of view to grapple with ideas across difference. BlueSky has an echo chamber quality that requires more different users to remedy. Maybe itβs okay for this space to be politically mostly on my side. But I still crave real dialogue with people not like me.
I use various social media platforms and am not confident how BlueSky can replicate all their functions. Instagram (@janefordistrictd) for local politics and the wonder of Raleigh. Facebook for community groups and keeping in touch with friends and family. Reddit w/long-standing moderated groups.
I donβt have my BlueSky community dialed yet whatsoever. It feels cacophonous like Twitter/X and Iβm looking for advice for how to tailor it to my interests, for example science & environment, politics, keeping up with real and far-off cool
people, crafts like mosaic tile art, pop culture, bicycles.
I love how BlueSky is decentralized and run by someone (@Jay.bsky.team) who doesnβt appear to be an egomaniac. Thatβs huge! Iβm looking for a space that values real online connection and information sharing. Iβm hopeful thatβs BlueSkyβs mission too.
I donβt know about you but Iβm still figuring out #bluesky. This article provides insight on the potential of this platform. Here are a few of my takeaways and lingering questionsβ¦π§΅https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/04/14/blueskys-quest-to-build-nontoxic-social-media
