Multilated marine wildlife - A string of incidents
"Mutilated sawfish, sharks and turtle found on on Gascoyne Beaches, WA. Critically endangered sawfish have been found with their rostrums removed. Sawfish are some of the most threatened marine species in the world, and Western Australia is one of the few places on Earth where the animals are protected and have a refuge."
"A sea turtle was found with eight holes in its shell next to the Carnarvon Fascine."

Residents and experts say they are shocked and concerned after social media images showed a number of endangered and protected marine animals impaled and severed on a stretch of WA coastline in just a few weeks.
@KateShaw made a great episode about sawfish, stingrays, epaulette sharks, walking sharks, mudskippers, red-lipped batfish, payara, and more

Anyone else still use #sawfish window manager? I've used it since it was called "sawmill", & some of my configs date to 2002.
Anyway, I script my window interactions heavily w/ sawfish. What I need now is sawfish to send a window to a different display. (When I first started using sawfish, I had at most two displays. Now I have 3 huge ones, & it's a lot to drag a window all the way across.)
On single displays, (move-window-to-workspace) is what I use; I basically want (move-window-to-display)
Happy International Sawfish Day!

Did you notice the nose on this fish? 🪚 Sawfish are among the world’s most unusual marine creatures. However, all five species are also among the most threatened animals on the planet.
Their unique saw-like head projections, known as rostra, have for decades been hacked off as “trophies” to be placed on display – with mutilated animals found as recently as 2023. This, along with fisheries exploitation and habitat loss, is contributing to the significant decline of these species.
Now, people are being asked to donate their rostra “trophies” and report sightings to researchers to save these special species… https://ausgeo.co/sawfishrostra
