I've taken the bee costume off of Waffles and put him in a more comfortable t-shirt, but I'm gonna make use of these pictures for awhile!

Partial eclipse from Germany. Really happy with how this shot turned out. Taken with an Acuter Elite Phoenix 40 and a ToupTek G3M678M.

This bothers me in almost every contemporary production.

okay

Four-panel black-and-white comic. An artist (Fly) sits at a desk and thinks, “Tough times to be an artist… but somehow, it’ll be okay.” A figure labelled “EU” appears and says, “Hey! Got some new rules for your packaging.” The figure pats the artist on the head—“pat pat”—and says, “Good luck.” In the final panel, the artist sits alone at the desk in silence.

Ready for tonight's solar eclipse! 🌒☀️

Plushtodon, with a pair of binoculars on his eyes to watch the eclipse. Naturally, DO NOT DO THAT! Plushtodon is a stuffed animal, and you should wear proper eclipse viewing glasses instead.

Mayor Doots, a one-eyed Lynx Point Siamese cat, sitting upright on his back legs on a cream blanket on a grey sofa, while his front paws rest against the grey squarish arm of the sofa. The sunlight streams in from a window behind him, and his face is turned slightly toward the camera. He looks regal AF.

If you see a headline that says "air purifiers don't work," read the report to find out if the air purifiers were even turned on and running properly.

https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/can-air-purifiers-prevent-flu-and-covid-19-nursing-homes-only-if-they-re-used-properly

Studies of air filters in the real world, however, have been less promising. A new study from the United Kingdom found that portable air purifiers didn’t prevent respiratory infections in nursing home residents. In the study, authors wrote that HEPA units were mostly turned to the lowest setting to reduce noise, at the request of nursing home staff. “That isn't going to run that much air through,” said Lisa Brosseau, ScD, CIH, a research consultant at the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), which publishes CIDRAP News. “But it's quieter and people are going to be able to stand it.” Nursing home staff also told researchers that residents, many of whom had dementia, sometimes moved or tampered with the air purifiers. One resident urinated into the air purifier, according to a companion article published in PLOS One. Another resident put the air purifier on his windowsill. Staff told researchers that another resident “goes around” and turns off the air purifier nearest him “because he doesn’t like the electricity being spent.” Hay said his team considered visiting nursing homes to see if the air filters were being used, but decided against it, given the risk of transmitting COVID-19. Asking nursing home staff to help measure air quality “could have resulted in care homes and residents deciding they did not want to endure the intervention and withdrawing” from the study. Given the limitations of the study, Allen said authors should have tempered their conclusions. “The biggest problem is that the conclusion doesn't match the data.” Allen said. “If you look strictly at the data, the conclusion is a small HEPA filter that's turned off doesn't work.”

The best alternative to supporting vicious transphobia by buying Harry Potter is to read Ursula K Le Guin's Earthsea books, which are magical, good-hearted, beautifully written, and rooted in anthropology. Please don't buy anything Harry Potter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthsea

The word ‘island’ contains the same element as ‘Jersey’, ‘Scandinavia’, and ‘Batavia’. This element stems from Proto-Germanic *agwī, a word meaning “land in or close to a body of water”.

*Agwī was derived from *ahwō (“body of water”), a distant cousin of Latin ‘aqua’.

Despite its looks, ‘island’ isn’t etymologically related to ‘isle’ at all, but because people thought it was, its spelling was influenced by it.

Zoom in on my new infographic to learn all about this word family.
