He does this for free (and refuses any payment), and posts stories and pictures (and sometimes video) from all his rescues. <br/><br/>It’s real good brain cleanse.

The hurricane may have been a natural disaster, but the extent of the devastation suffering were the result of feckless politicians and a system designed to ignore or exploit the poor.<br/><br/>#Katrina provoked shock, horror, pity, and disgust. But the government got away with showing callous disregard for its citizens in broad daylight. <br/><br/>The worst people learned terrible lessons from #Katrina. They’re putting those lessons into practice. 2025-08-28T23:07:37Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs86sfe2y59pn530xexxtp7jdydeq3lrf4f39dhehjj9eqykgcjylgzypa9h7yyv38zmk4lg6v0a93hwen9zua4vmz7jrhr6qzydgyjmj68kgd48tr My postdoc at the American Philosophical Society is coming to an end.
