Resting in bed today. Stupid side effects of the GLP-1!!! It sucks that I have very little appetite and I have pretty bad acid reflux which I found out the medicine makes worse for the first 1-2 weeks on it.

Silky sifakas (Propithecus candidus) are native to a very restricted range in northeastern Madagascar. One of the rarest and most threatened sifaka species. Females mate only one day a year, in late Dec or early Jan. Threatened by slash-and-burn agriculture and hunting. Critically Endangered.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

Small hummingbird with magenta stripes on his white chin & throat, and iridescent green on his crown and back. His wings are up and back as he rises up from a stream. In the distance, the blurring of the background + sparkling sunlight creates a layer of bokeh across the top of the frame.
