If you’re feeling sick, please stay home.

If you can’t stay home, please wear a mask. Ideally an N95.

Covid is a social justice issue. Mitigations cost money. Many can’t afford the protection they need.

If you’re able, donate to a mask bloc. Carry spare respirators. Help protect each other!

I noticed the Kanji for ‘Book’
The remaining two kanji are mysterious to me. Google says it says 100 Books.
Can anyone explain the Kanji to me please 🙏 I’m learning

There are three Japanese Kanji

That's gotta be over 100 inches circumference right? Anyone feel like getting the Urban Forestry folks to harras them over removing a heritage tree?

Here's a fabulous arachnid for the feed tonight, a Giant Velvet Mite. Their bright colors appear to be aposematic, warning potential predators of their unpleasant taste and smell.

Oughe Buttons is still looking for her forever home at the rescue she was transferred to. She has had a name change, but that is 100% her. She’s with www.lastchanceanimalrescue.org/adoption-loc... in Stafford, VA!
I hope Brie & Babybel are doing ok. They are such good girls.

Buttons, now Domino, a young white kitten with a cute black triangle on her nose and an all black tail.
