the world would be a better place if all science students also studied history- and I don’t mean “memorise the list of Presidents/monarchs”, I mean “here is why people have fought and killed each other in the past and how that ended up for everyone”

I sincerely hope she slipped out past one of the neighbors because she's VERY young and VERY friendly and I do not have the spoons for cat distribution system shenanigans right now

Humaning.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

Vaccines
Vaccines help prevent serious illnesses like measles, chickenpox, whooping cough, polio, and more. With vaccine preventable illnesses on the rise, it is more important than ever to stay protected. Getting vaccinated is much safer than getting the disease, as it lowers the risk of your child being hospitalized or having long-term health problems.

I feel like people don’t know about the looming catastrophe in the crafting world that is private equity, or at least don’t understand the extent to which it’s a problem. Private equity owns a large chunk of places people get crafting supplies, particularly yarn, and we are heading for a cliff.

About being alive these days 🐾
A two-panel comic featuring two black cats in an interview. In the first panel, one cat holds a microphone and asks, “Mr Whiskers, do you feel prepared for all of this?” The other cat cheerfully replies, “Of course not!” In the second panel, Mr Whiskers opens his enormous round eyes and adds, “I suspect none of us were designed to process all of whatever it is that’s happening right now.”
