This used to be a stretch of sandy beach in Humacao, Puerto Rico. Thanks to warming water temperatures, sargassum seaweed blooms have choked beaches all around the Caribbean islands.
Not only is the seaweed clogging the beach, it seems to contribute to beach erosion. There's now a steep drop off where there used to be soft dunes. We saw plenty of dead fish that were probably caught in the mass of seaweed and died when the tide dropped.

Sargassum — a specific type of seaweed that washes up on beaches in Galveston and other locales along the Texas coast — has long been native to the Atlantic Ocean, but has only recently begun to grow exponentially.

Sargassum seaweed (Sargassum muticum) or Wire-weed is an invasive seaweed, originating in Japan that is now found all along our coastline. Believed to have been spread between oyster farms. The small round air bladders help it float upright in the water column - and spread along the coasts when fragmented during stormy weather.

Swimming #crustacean eats unlikely food source in the deep ocean https://phys.org/news/2024-09-crustacean-food-source-deep-ocean.html
A #DeepSea isopod that consumes #Sargassum sinking from the #ocean’s surface https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2024.0823
"Using the submersible #Alvin, scientists encountered this isopod swimming 3.7 miles deep... Surprisingly, these #isopods can be seen carrying something more common on the ocean's surface: large pieces of Sargassum #algae. At the surface, Sargassum grows using photosynthesis, forming floating forests"

Secrets of #sargassum: Scientists advance knowledge of #seaweed causing chaos in the Caribbean and West Africa
https://phys.org/news/2024-05-secrets-sargassum-scientists-advance-knowledge.html paper: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2312173121"floating mats of sargassum have long been present in the North #Atlantic. However, since 2011, a population has established between West Africa and South America, and increased in size to form 'the great Atlantic sargassum belt'—a 9,000km-long bloom, visible from space and estimated to weigh 35 million tons."

Floating #algae acts as a raft for juvenile #pelagic fish https://phys.org/news/2024-01-algae-raft-juvenile-pelagic-fish.html
Stable isotopes reveal #sargassum rafts provide a trophic subsidy to juvenile pelagic fishes https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272771423003384
"These rafts attract large numbers of juvenile #fish and other animals and are a potentially important transitional habitat for pre-settlement coastal #fishes... Macroalgal rafts can exceed a square kilometer, thus providing extensive habitat in some regions"

"The "#AmericanDream" is a very painful dream."
Returning to #Mexico with $55 after decades in the #UnitedStates, #OmarVazquez started his own successful #plant #business and soon expanded into a more personal pursuit of using the massive amounts of #sargassum washing ashore to make #bricks.
These blooms are likely caused by #ClimateChange, and this business may soon be another Everything, Everywhere, All at Once option for #sustainable #HomeBuilding.

Jean Rhys - De wijde Sargasso zee
"Elk ongelukkig gezin is op zijn eigen manier ongelukkig" (Tolstoj)
Antoinette Cosway, de eerste mrs. Rochester uit Charlotte Brönte's Jane Eyre, is daar geen uitzondering op.
"Geen slavernij meer [...] Mij stemde dat niet treurig. Ik had geen herinnering aan betere tijden" zegt (denkt?) ze als ze het over haar vroege kindertijd heeft als 'witte kakkerlak' op Jamaica.
Vanaf dat moment al grijpt het verhaal je vast en sleurt je mee een andere tijd en plaats in.
Door de wisselingen van perspectief, van innerlijk en openlijk, van werkelijkheid en dat andere wordt het allemaal pijnlijk helder gemaakt.
Mensen werden op heel andere en toch precies dezelfde manier worden vermorzeld als hier en nu.Wat een geweldig boek!!

I'm honestly *very* surprised that there really doesn't seem to be an actively developed #Python server project on here, beyond #Takahe which seems to lost in a sargasso sea of community non-engagement, a class of problem that I have long since learned I will probably not be the one to solve, ever.
I don't know whether that says something about Python itself or the Python community or what.

De senaste månadernas tal om fred och försoning låter hoppfulla – men bakom de politiska handslagen döljer sig en farligare verklighet. När rättvisa förhandlas bort till förmån för stillestånd blir freden den starkares vapen, inte de svagas skydd.
