me: wow, what a majestic seabird! I've never seen one of those before. I bet people looked at it in awe and gave it a worthy name!
Merlin app: yes, they called it "the common tern"

This is what the @MSCCruisesUSA Meraviglia looked like from the BQE. Towering over #RedHook, spewing toxins over residents, including the largest @NYCHA housing population in Brooklyn. What callous disregard for human health. @NYCEDC @NYCMayor @NYCCouncil38 #FixTheShorePower!

.@CBSNews got some good video of the MSC Meriviglia spewing toxic diesel emissions into #RedHook's air too. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/msc-meraviglia-sails-into-brooklyn-cruise-terminal/

Brooklyn/NYC people! Do you have photos of the MSC Meriviglia spewing emissions while docked at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in #RedHook? Jim Walker at @CruiseLaw will donate $50 to @LungAssociation for each one you share. #Cancer #Climate #Asthma #Health #Soot PM2.5 #NOx #SOx

As Borough President, @NYCMayor Adams promised to fix the Brooklyn shore power system (and thanked us for our activism). Since he’s been Mayor, we’ve heard nothing. #climate #health #RedHook https://twitter.com/bkborohall/status/1386788333007867910?s=46&t=sQkaeZzQX1eacSK5_ABxcQ

I wonder if Adams planned this event to be on a day when his newest addition to #RedHook, this diesel spewing behemoth👇🏻,wasn’t docked across the Buttermilk Channel from Gov’s Island. A day or so before, the mayor might have looked like a sycophantic cruise industry hypocrite.

Who pays for these puff pieces with their dubious claims of “economic benefits” & “full time job equivalents”? No mention that this massive ship will be idling 24/7, burning the dirtiest diesel on the planet in a neighborhood with 40% asthma rates #RedHook https://youtu.be/mOzdkiUGv5g

Apparently cancer is “glamorous”. Apparently kids dying from asthma is “glamorous”. Apparently burning the dirtiest diesel on the planet 24/7 is “glamorous”. Apparently spewing CO2, PM2.5, SOx, and NOx into #RedHook’s air is glamorous. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/msc-meraviglia-makes-brooklyn-cruise-terminal-home/4263437/?_osource=db_npd_nbc_wnbc_twt_shr

What is this bullshit puff piece about this huge polluting cruise ship that is docking in #RedHook, spewing tons of CO2 and PM2.5 into our kids’ lungs? Who is paying for this? Who is being paid off? @NYCMayor? https://abc7ny.com/msc-meraviglia-brooklyn-cruise-terminal-red-hook-ship/13163638/

Please provide proof of this claim, @NYCMayor: “Officials say the ship will bring more than 10,000 full time-equivalent jobs to the terminal” #RedHook https://abc7ny.com/msc-meraviglia-brooklyn-cruise-terminal-red-hook-ship/13163638/

Welcome to #RedHook, MSC Meraviglia! Thanks for spewing your cancerous & climate change inducing dirty diesel emissions into the neighborhood. Thanks @NYCMayor for bringing the 5th biggest cruise ship in the world to RH to idle 24/7 because of lack of shore power compatibility.… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1649546735117533185

14 years after it began, our fight to make *every* cruise ship connect to shore power in #RedHook continues. Thanks for the story and the acknowledgement, ⁦@nytimes⁩. Hopefully this article will bring more scrutiny and action on this important issue! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/26/nyregion/cruise-ship-exhaust-shore-power-nyc.html

Incidentally, if you’d care to study up on the #Lovecraft source material for Atrocities of #Arkham, can I suggest episodes 21 & 22 for #Dagon and episodes 31 & 32 for #HerbertWest. The missing piece is The Horror at #RedHook, which were going to be covering next in episodes 33 & 34.
