Hey, we all like fireflies, right? Of course we do! So please: LEAVE YOUR LEAVES! Firefly larvae need the protection that fallen leaves provide to complete their life cycle. Even just allowing part of your yard to be covered with leaves can help the arthropods/invertebrates/microfauna living there.

Been loving watching IgoByGraven's Re:CoM streams, and how heavily he plays Sora's two dads in combat #kh #khRecom

two panel digital comic. Panel one, Sora is surrounded by heartless. His speech bubbles say, " Enough! Time to pull out the big guns!"

Panel two, sora holds out two Re:CoM cards, the top one says "Dad #2". Behind him Simba and Cloud appear, looking intimidating and strong.
