We are teaching the pictured cat to talk using speech buttons, and today she was lying on the "pets" button while getting petted, so it was going "pets pets pets pets pets pets" #cats #caturday #calico #CatsOfBlueSky

Calico cat with a black dot on her nose on her side gazing sleepily at the camera, front paws stretched out so her pink and black toes are visible. She's on a beige heating pad.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

Okay, doing the #minsgame this month. Last year I tried this, got interrupted by a health emergency so hoping I make it through this time round. Spouse is joining me for it.
Day 1-ratty headband and old stained Kliban cardboard ornament from I think the late 70s?
#Decluttering #minimalism

Red fabric stretchy headband on a square of wood and a blue cardboard Kliban cat ornament, stained with water or tea or something. Cat is curled up and there's a stylized landscape on the round part of the cat's body.

depths of wikipedia @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · 9d

recently discovered that wikipedia volunteers have a hilariously high bar for what constitutes "unusual death"

Why Wikipedia editors have deleted entries from the “List of unusual deaths”:

“hippos are extremely dangerous and very aggressive and there is nothing unusual about hippos killing people”
“the man was working on the toilet, making his death inherently less strange than if he had been using it”
“no longer an unusual or unique occurrence” regarding impalement by beach umbrella
“being hit by multiple motorcycles in a race is not an unusual death”
“fatalities involving objects or animals being launched into oncoming traffic are considered commonplace” regarding a Canadian couple’s fatal collision with a “flying bear”

No. I did write a post a while back about how if someone fetishizes books, working in a library is going to be high key upsetting.

I think working in a library is a bit like working in antiques, you start to realize most items are far less rare than you thought previously.

Got some Ceanothus thrysiflorus, since I'm not sure my viburnums will make it,and some groundcover and ferns. Excited to see what they will do over the years.

Fun fact: libraries throw out books daily.
Also, I tried to read The Fountainhead on some dillweed's recommendation and it lost me when it had the protagonist marrying her rapist.

‘“A hundred and fifteen years that they haven’t been here, and they still have that GPS unit inside of them,” said the visibly giddy Klamath Tribal Chair William Ray, Jr. “It’s truly an awesome feat if you think about the gauntlet they had to go through.”’

Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

You can be damaged and still be beautiful 🌱

A small cluster of blanket flowers (I think these are Gaillardia pulchella) with vibrant red petals tipped in golden yellow. Several of them lost petals to heavy storms, insect bites and time.
