Truth be told I did not really understand the assignment, but people started throwing into the Zoom chat ideas for what some examples could be, and someone named Kathy Shimpock wrote, “They both wear wigs”.

My cats were bothering me on the dining room table where I was trying to focus on the workshop, and an idea dawned.

Thanks SAW! Thanks Tom Hart! Thanks Audra Stang! Thanks Kathy Shimpock!

I had SUCH A BLAST on the PNW/Colorado leg of my book tour, and have had such fun in all the q&a’s, at all the events, in all the interviews for the launch of this book, that I’m going to be devoting much of the summer here, besides ongoing comics homages to my stunning cats, to making comics getting some of those great questions answered, and sharing the ins and outs of taking PTS on the road. You’re so smart, funny, clever, and engaged when I meet you IRL, and I want to take you on the journey with me of meeting all the glorious weirdos showing up to partake of this book with me.

I love to be on the first flight out of the East Coast when I’m headed West, because then you get in and can have an entire day in the new place! The 6th, besides travel, was a day off in a city I’d never visited (Portland) and I went to see the Portland Japanese Garden and the International Rose Garden.

There were critters to be seen at the Garden, believe you me…

We love Washington Park in Portland, OR!

More on the reading at Powell’s the following evening soon!

The feedback about the watercolors in the book has been so loving and enthusiastic that I wanted you to have art from the book that was yours, that you could wear and ROCK on your hot hot bods! I did a very very limited edition run of apparel hand-printed with original artwork from the book right here in NYC, and a portion of all proceeds will support animal conservation projects that you can find listed here on my website (under Conserve Kink Lords, of course.)

Apparel options include the Poking the Squid book cover sweatshirt; I Have a Clit tee; the dolphin “Friendship” tee, “Penetrate the Depths”, and the Society to Save Slap and Tickle official member tee…

Oh I’ll even model the sweatshirt for ya, sure!

Not to mention stickers…

Die-cut animal stickers:

Who doesn’t love seahorse love?! Many more sticker sheets available- my sister got the multi sheet because she wanted the pigs f*cking!

Bumper stickers will be on the site later today!

1. A new bill is being voted on TODAY in the House to repeal the 2001 Roadless Rule…even though the USDA is already in the process of dismantling it. Evidence shows that when roads are introduced into protected forests, ecosystem degradation inevitably occurs. There have been no public hearings, so people have been taking things into their own hands. Call your rep ((202) 224-3121) and tell them you reallllly support the Roadless Rule!

   1. Here’s a great tool to assess how your representatives vote regarding conservation and public lands from

1. There are less than 400 North Atlantic Right Whales (so named because they were the “right" whale to hunt for fuel in whaling’s heydey…and they still out here because of the Marine Mammal Protection Act) left in the wild, but NOAA is considering rolling back vessel speed restrictions that are proven to great reduce whale strikes. 23 North Atlantic Right Whale calves were born this year…and young whales are the ones most often found in vessel strike strandings. Let’s give these little babies a chance by commenting AGAINST repealing vessel speed limits by June 2nd!

   1. background from NOAA

   2. sample language for your public comment from NRDC. MOST effective to use the public comment link above, but use the language from here!

2. The Bureau of Land Management is about to bring back the use of cyanide bombs to kill predators on 245 million acres of public lands, which was banned in 2024 thanks to efforts by the Center for Biological Diversity.

   1. What are cyanide bombs? From CBD: “M-44s — more descriptively called “cyanide bombs” — are inhumane, spring-loaded traps that spray sodium cyanide into the faces of unsuspecting wildlife lured by their sweet, scented bait. Any creature — or person — who pulls on the baited trigger can suffer tortuous poisoning followed by a slow, agonizing death or severe injury.”

   2. Tell the BLM you’re horrified by this here or, in more detail, here. But you know me- I’m calling!

3. Speaking of the BLM website- they proudly declare they’re streamlining permitting in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, which reminds me: we are still pushing for no oil and gas lease sales in the Arctic Wildlife National Refuge!

4. Donate to Earthjustice to support their important work pushing back against ICE warehouses!

5. NEW YORKERS: Kathy Hochul is trying to weaken NY’s banner climate law. (h/t for a great op-ed in Time!) Here’s a great action from 350 Brooklyn:

Last Thursday, Governor Hochul held a press conference to announce a budget deal. Speaker Heastie immediately clapped back, saying there was no deal. By Friday he walked back his initial ire, but no deal came together over the weekend. Another extender was passed this week and rumor has it there will be a budget deal next week.

Use these scripts from NY Renews to call Speaker Carl Heastie & Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins.

Use this Assembly Member lookup tool and this AM phone directory to find your NY State Assembly Member’s phone contact info.

Then use this sample script to call on your Assembly Member to shore up the State’s commitment to climate action and a sustainable future:

“Hi, I’m a constituent and I’m calling to urge ______________ to reject climate law rollbacks and to talk to leadership about including $3 billion dollars for the Sustainable Future Program, the full ASAP Act, and increased protections and funding for disadvantaged communities in the budget.”

Be sure to thank them for taking your call and provide your ZIP code and address if asked or include it in your voicemail.

Let’s GOOOOO!

Love you!

But I am vibing on the Pe’Sla youth win. Over a week, Oglala Lakota youth chained themselves to the drilling pads operating at the sacred site Pe’sla and were supported by Indigenous leaders; nine tribal governments filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Forest Service; members of the public called the Forest Service relentlessly over the following weekend; AND THEY WON! The mining company Pete Lien & Sons wrote to the US Forest Service May 7th withdrawing their Plan of Operations and indicating they have no intention of trying to mine there in the future.

writes on her incredible newsletter “it is not too late to turn back. The Lakota youth who locked themselves to those drills — who built prayer altars in the shadow of a broken federal promise, who held that sacred meadow for days while the world watched — they showed the world what it looks like to stand firm when everything is on the line, and win. That is a gift to every land defender from the Black Hills to the Amazon to every place on this earth where someone is standing between the sacred and the machine.

Pe’ Sla is still standing. Let that light the way.”

With that juice, on to our actions!

1. There are so many ways to tell corporations not to bid on drilling leases in the last intact wilderness in America when they go up for sale June 5th.

As says:

🛢️ On June 5, the federal government will auction off 688,000 acres of the Arctic Refuge’s coastal plain to oil companies.

🦌 This is the calving ground for the Porcupine caribou herd, which the Gwich’in people have depended on for thousands of years.

When Congress authorized drilling here in 2017, forecasts promised nearly a billion dollars for taxpayers. Then the 2021 sale brought in just $16 million, with the State of Alaska as the main bidder because major oil companies stayed away. The 2025 sale drew zero bidders. The nonpartisan watchdog Taxpayers for Common Sense now projects the upcoming sale could bring in as little as 3 million.

🏔️ The drilling here may never happen. But the message is clear: one of the last intact landscapes on the continent is permanently for sale, and the asking price is a rounding error.

2. Meanwhile, also in the Arctic and in violation of a court order, this administration just gave tribal land to ExxonMobil.

ACTION: Call your reps and, as suggests, “ask them why they’ve done nothing while the federal government has knowingly violated an agreement with Alaska Native communities.” (202) 224-3121

Support Grandmothers Growing Goodness, an Inupiat elders group who live on the North Slope and are suing over this, and take their suggested action of writing to Doug Burgum to tell him NO!

3. I’m devastated over the violations of voting rights happening in the South right now, so I signed up this week to do a shift with the Environmental Voter Project, which gets registered voters who are inactive but who identify as voting over environmental issues to SHOW UP AT THE POLLS.

Feeling powerless, but it’s something…

4. Sign a petition to restore the National Science Board immediately!

Per the Resistbot at that link: “The White House fired all 24 members of the National Science Board on April 24, leaving the NSF without governance just days before its scheduled May 5 meeting.” This is….bad.

GOOD JOB I LOVE YOU!

1. We’re ALL gonna call our senators and tell them to oppose HR 1897.

Remember how our evil overlords who we elected who actually work for oil and gas were gonna vote to kill the Endangered Species Act on Earth Day? Rep. Westerman, my personal nemesis who does not know I exist, has not, according to , actually fallen back, he is simply wearing down the holdouts to bring that thing back VERY SOON for a vote.

I love this from the More Than Just Parks piece embedded below:

“Whoever your senators are, call them. Both of them. Republican or Democrat. The ask is the same: a public, on-the-record commitment to oppose HR 1897 and any package that contains any provision of it. Don’t accept “I’m watching this closely.” Don’t accept “I have concerns.” Don’t accept anything short of a public commitment, before the vehicle exists.

The Endangered Species Act is not a chip to cash in for permitting reform. It’s not a bargaining tool. It’s the law that has prevented the deliberate extinction of American wildlife for fifty-three years, and you don’t want any part of it traded away for solar permitting or anything else.”

Line by line script for either Dem or Republican senators in that same piece above all the way at the bottom, too.

2. We’re not into the Fix our Forests Act, and here’s why:

2. “The problem here isn’t that FOFA has no merit, but that in the hands of the Trump administration it becomes a incredibly powerful tool to erase vast swathes of national forest without 1) environmental review, 2) Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections, or 3) legal challenge.” (via )

Ask your Senator not to support it for those reasons! (202) 224-3121

3. Call Governor Walz (651-201-3400) and tell him no mining in the Boundary Waters!

From :

The sulfuric acid stays in the Boundary Waters, which holds 20% of all fresh water in the entire U.S. National Forest system. Sulfide-ore copper mining has contaminated water at 100% of sites where it has been attempted.

🗳️ 675,000 Americans commented. 95% said protect it. Congress threw it all out using a procedural maneuver never used this way before in U.S. history.

🎣 Hunters and anglers fought this. Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, Trout Unlimited, B.A.S.S., Pheasants Forever and more. The people who use this land.

4. The critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale needs our help.

Tr*mp just backed Jared Golden (who has voted the wrong way on every single environmental issue in his brief tenure) bill to delay any action on reconciling the lobster fishery in Maine with the plight of these whales who primarily die from fishing gear entanglement. And those entanglements are on the rise! I’m opposed to this delay in action. And I think long-term it’ll be real bad for the lobstering fishery to have any role in driving whales extinct! The bill is with the House Resources Committee now (who will love it) and we need to ask our reps to oppose it.

Some sample language: "Another seven years would absolutely result in more entanglements and more death for the right whale, which is only going to make it harder to make gains in conservation at the end of that extended period," (from Rachel Rilee at Center for Biological Diversity.)

I talked about the Farm Bill on Instagram Live yesterday.

After you check that out:

1. Call your congressperson and tell them to vote NO on the larger Farm Bill AND that they need to pass amendments that do the following:

   1. no legal immunity for chemical companies! The Farm Bill currently shields pesticide companies from lawsuits when their chemicals are linked to irreparable harm to human health. (The Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments in a lawsuit against the German chemical company Bayer whose weedkiller Roundup has been linked to non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. And right now Congress is trying to ensure they don’t have to pay consequences for hurting people going forward. Bayer gave $1M to the Tr*mp campaign. The Tr*mp admin wants to spray roundup in our National Forests. Corrupt corrupt corrupt grifters run the country on behalf of corporations.)

   2. protect animal welfare! Specifically: Vote YES on the Luna-Costa-Garbarino-Fitzpatrick amendment, which prevents overturning hard-won animal protection at the state level, such as banning the use of gestation crates for pregnant sows. In New York state we have laws against puppy mills, for example, that would be overturned when this bill is signed into law. The Luna-Costa amendment preserves state power over animal rights laws.

      1. more detailed amendments to this end can be found here.

2. Another new Tongass National Forest logging project draft environmental impact statement is currently open for public comments for a 45 day period. But do it now! 1,655 acres in this old-growth national forest would become open to timbering, to help sustain the timber industry during the transition toward younger-growth forest management. It is not my responsibility to sustain the timber industry on my national forests, in my opinion! Habitat loss would increase; as would wildfire risk, when old-growth trees are cut it leads to environmental degradation and impacts on watershed health, AND seriously harms wildlife populations.

   • Be loud, quick and strong!

3. Water Protector Legal Collective, an indigenous-led nonprofit that protects the rights of Indigenous peoples and the Earth, is calling for support pushing back via public comment against a new permit for a new natural-gas fired power plant in Navajo Nation that EPA is considering.

   • Water Protector argues that the plant would create pollutant emissions that impact respiratory health, water systems, and environmental conditions for nearby communities already dealing with the impact of environmental burdens from energy infrastructure.

4. Get to reading!! We know this administration is profoundly anti-science. The Nature Record National Assessment which picked up the slack when Tr*mp cancelled the first National Nature Assessment (ordered by Biden) wants YOUR comment until May 30, 2026. “Your input will make the assessment stronger and help ensure the record reflects what’s happening across communities, across sectors, and across ways of knowing — from research and policy to business, stewardship, and education” writes Phillip Levin. The National Nature Assessment which would have provided the first full picture of the status of biodiversity in the United States. It’s so cool to see the scientists and orgs filling the gap. The Nature Conservancy put out another amazing nature assessment recently too.

Call your congressperson (202) 224-3121) and say NO to:

1. H.R. 1897, the ESA Amendments Act, which Endangered Species expert lawyer Daniel Rohlf told me over email “would in many ways gut the ESA as we know it.” He elaborated to say, among other things, this bill would:

• make it much easier for federal agency actions and decisions to incrementally reduce both the population of a listed species and its available habitat.

• would allow a delay of up to five years for many categories of species under consideration for listing (addition from me: multiple species have gone extinct in the past waiting to be listed. This is unacceptable!)

• The Services (US Fish and Wildlife, etc) would have to publish an analysis of impacts on national security, economics, and human health and safety whenever it proposes to list a species.

• The bill would make it much more difficult to designate critical habitat.

Use language from Western Watersheds Project when you call, or fill out their form.

2. HARD NO on The Stop Climate Shakedowns Act “which would shield major oil and gas companies from being held responsible for their role in the climate crisis. This would hand the fossil fuel industry unprecedented legal immunity and strip communities of their right to hold polluters accountable. Big Oil knew about climate change, misled the public for decades, and we are paying the price. We cannot let them get away with this ploy.”

This one matters, not only because this mining would dump toxins in one of the most beloved wild places in the country, but also in part because they’re attempting to use the Constitutional Review Act, designed to help small business owners, for the first time to attack public lands, and if it passes, this is just the beginning. Read the script in the draft letter at the link below, via EarthJustice, to understand the issue, and as language you can use when you call (202) 224-3121 to ask to be connected to your senator.

Via Earthjustice:

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota is a vast network of over 1,000 lakes and unspoiled forests stretching across more than one million acres. Generations of visitors have canoed, camped, and hiked along the area’s 1,200 miles of rivers and streams.

It’s also just upstream of where Chilean mining giant Antofagasta wants to build the toxic Twin Metals copper-nickel mine. If built, the Twin Metals mine would mean the permanent destruction of habitat for hundreds of species like wolves, moose, loons, lynx, and walleye. As climate change shrinks our planet’s biodiversity, we can’t afford to lose the Boundary Waters — or the thousands of jobs it sustains for the region’s outdoor tourism economy.

2. Tell congress you want them to fund national marine sanctuaries!

From Marine Sanctuary Foundation:

We’re asking lawmakers for sustained funding to steward the 629,000 square miles of national marine sanctuary waters throughout our ocean and Great Lakes. This funding is just a drop in the ocean of the annual federal budget. Marine sanctuaries anchor coastal economies, conserve wildlife and preserve America’s cultural and maritime history, and promote access to world-class outdoor recreation.

Poking the Squid is a graphic (in more ways than one) wild ride through the latest and greatest research on animal sex, informed by decades of feminist and queer intervention into knowledge production in biology.

Preorder helps authors so much! It informs the publisher’s decision of whether they want to work with me again. And it tells bookstores you’re interested!

For free, you can support me by requesting the book from your library (that signals to librarians to order it), adding as “want to read” on Goodreads, or “to read” on Storygraph.

Here’s a quick comic of the crashout that happened offscreen shortly after unboxing:

Here’s a video I made for NRDC back in 2019 with Dr. Francine Kershaw about North Atlantic Right Whale entanglement in lobster traps.

YOUR TO-DO’s THIS WEEK:

1. Attend a National Wildlife Refuge webinar tonight at 6pm EST to learn about what the White House’s proposed FY27 budget could mean for wildlife and wild places. Be there don’t be a square!

2. Speaking of the budget: call your congressperson ((202) 224-3121) and tell them the White House’s proposed cuts to the National Park Service are not acceptable; these cuts will render it unable to function. Public service is more effective than privatization!

3. Support the bipartisan resistance to building a border wall in Big Bend National Park!

   1. and then read on the plan to stop Tr*mp on public lands for more thorough resistance moves.

4. Email NOAA and the National Marine Fisheries Service and tell them NOT to open up Pacific Marine Monuments to industrial fishing.

   Y’all, marine monuments REALLY work. They are very effective safe havens for marine life that cause surges in localized oceanic biodiversity. This is stoooopid.

5. Register a public comment in opposition to NOAA removing vessel speed restrictions in North Atlantic Right Whale migratory zones, which have proven highly effective at helping these critically endangered animals (there’s around 270 left) have a fighting chance. 2026 has been a BANNER YEAR in Right Whale births- there’ve been like 17 new babies!

   Here’s the draft notice of the intention to remove speed limits. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. Smash that PUBLIC COMMENT button! PERSONALIZE it. Tell them why YOU care, but also you can say, care of Oceana: “Collisions with boats is a leading cause of North Atlantic right whale injury and death. They are slow, swimming at speeds less than 4 miles (or an average of 6 kilometers) per hour, usually near the water’s surface. They are also dark in color and lack a dorsal fin, making them very difficult to spot. Studies have found that the speed of a vessel is a major factor in vessel-related collisions with North Atlantic right whales. At high speeds, vessels cannot maneuver to avoid them, and these whales swim too slowly to be able to move out of the way. This puts them at great risk of being struck, which can cause deadly injuries from blunt-force trauma or cuts from propellers.”

More context from Oceana that shows you you’re not alone if you’re concerned about this:

“A national poll of American voters conducted in 2024 found that an overwhelming majority support stronger protections for North Atlantic right whales. The poll found that 86% of American voters agree that North Atlantic right whales should be protected from human-caused threats to help prevent their extinction, and 83% agree that ocean activities that endanger North Atlantic right whales, like shipping, boating, and vertical-line fishing, should be adapted to protect them. Eight in ten respondents are in favor of the U.S. government making policy changes to save North Atlantic right whales from going extinct. Oceana’s poll, conducted by the nonpartisan polling company Ipsos using the probability-based KnowledgePanel®, surveyed 1,053 registered U.S. voters from June 28 to 30, 2024.”

What better place to begin than beavers, once essentially ubiquitous from just south of the Arctic tundra to right above the deserts of northern Mexico, who colonists extirpated from many regions of the lower 48 by 1900. In recent years we’ve been like waiiiit, they are incredible landscape engineers who will help reduce wildfire and climate-induced flooding, restore biodiversity, and coevolved with and are actually essential to the thriving of many ecosystems across this great nation? Ok we’ll try to bring them back. Kinda.

New research from the UK, conducted in 18 Finnish wetlands, half of them created by beavers, underscores their ecosystem importance.

1. They….disbanded the forest service yesterday, via press release.

Headquarters moving to Utah (which is currently suing to seize your public land), regional offices being disbanded, and the science program stopping. All of these forest service employees living near their regional office found out their entire lives are being upended…via press release. Call your congresspeople- both senators and republicans- and tell them NO.

Call script (modified by me) via my beloved : (202) 224-3121

“This is not a reorganization — it’s the destruction of a federal agency by executive fiat and Congress must intervene. Block all funding for this relocation and restructuring until the full implications have been studied, debated, and voted on by the people’s elected representatives.

We know what happened to the BLM. 87% staff loss is not efficiency. Three people showing up to Grand Junction is not “moving closer to the land.” If you allow this to proceed, the Forest Service will suffer the same fate at twenty times the scale, and the blood will be on your hands.

We know the endgame. This is the on-ramp to land transfer. Handing the headquarters to Utah while Utah is actively suing to seize OUR public land is not a coincidence — it’s a tell.”

Write to REI, Patagonia, every land conservation organization, every environmental NGO, and demand to know their plan to attack this disbanding full force!

2. Tell your Congressperson to speak out against the “God Squad” waiving the Endangered Species Act to expand offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Really, really unlawful dangerous gross precedent. Yes, places like Earthjustice, NRDC, and Center for Biological Diversity will sue, but CONGRESS MUST USE THEIR AUTHORITY to override this in the meantime!

Fill out this form or, more impactful still, use that language as a script and call the capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121.

MORE:

3. Because a court threw out an injunction by Grandmothers Growing Goodness (a DIVINE name for a rad Inupiat group in Alaska) and The Wilderness Society against leasing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for drilling, the strategy to stop it is increasingly corporate pressure. Last week we wrote to an oil exec to not bid on leases there. This week- you’re gonna send a form to insurance companies to STOP insuring drilling! (via Wilderness Society.)

4. Let your congressperson know that you want them to support reauthorizing the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program- H.R.6078, S.3503 and S.3556. (via NPCA)

   1. Super easy form to fill out here, but we know in this house that…

   2. Making calls is higher impact! Call both your Rep and Senator. Give your congressperson your address and zip so they have to log your comment as a constituent.

Context: Three California mountain lions were killed by vehicle strikes in the last six months- first a mother who left behind two orphaned cubs, and then a month later, one of those cubs. These are wide-ranging carnivores with increasingly limited habitat. We need more wildlife crossings. Congress is currently working on the next five-year transportation bill. Demand that they include wildlife crossings! This is better for humans too- according to the National Parks Conservation Association, “Collisions with wildlife in the United States kill around 200 people and injure over 26,000 per year. These avoidable collisions can cost American motorists billions of dollars, and no life can be replaced.” More information on the Senate bill here.

BONUS ACTIVITY:

The Perrin R Ireland Update, my in-print monthly illustrated science newsletter (geared toward younger audiences) is delivered by USPS. Congress needs to authorize funding for the USPS or they will be financially insolvent as of February 2027. And we know this is part of a bigger privatization strategy by this administration- underfund, break, and then have no choice but to privatize government entities. It’s corrupt! Support the USPS by taking action here.

GOSH I LOVE YA! Hit me up in the comments with whichever of these you picked.
