Great to see the Guardian highlighting the mutual aid work of clean air clubs and mask blocs who have been distributing free N95 masks and air purifiers in areas affected by wildfire smoke 👏 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/09/us-wildfire-smoke-clean-air-clubs
"People over the age of 40 can't identify AI photos."
Fuck right off 😘
Sigh. People need to stop feeding wild animals.
""There is a lot of feeding still going on of coyotes in this area," said Nathalie Karvonen, executive director of the Toronto Wildlife Centre.
"That is a terrible thing to do for coyotes because it changes their behavior and it does make them less afraid of people and less afraid of houses," she said."
At least the pup was treated for mange.

It’s an interesting thing that if you take photos for long enough, you find that you’ve become a historian.
Heartbreaking: You don't instantly die when you become unemployed in China.

Keeping your cat indoors &/or using catios & harnesses outdoors will protect them from catching bird flu. Cats have a 50-70% mortality rate with bird flu. (Maybe we need to stop calling it bird flu.)

I feel like my cat who tried something she didn’t like, then walked around saying, “bleck, bleck,” in cat, of course.
For some reason an Orange Vanilla sparkling water found its way into our fridge, so I gave it a try, even though I don’t like bubbles or sparking water (tastes like soap to me). Some adventures work, some don’t. It tasted better when it got flat, but I couldn’t finish it. Soap that smelled like and tasted only a wisp of vanilla, no orange.
Anyway.
