Vaccines save lives.
Vaccines protect you from infection, and/or protect you from getting the worst complications of the disease.
In addition, by being vaccinated, you are protecting all of those around you, including the young, the old and the immunocompromised.

The amazing kestrel is capable of remaining almost motionless in the air, stabilizing itself by adjusting the position of its wings and tail according to the wind and air currents.

✅️Ages old traditions of interacting with the dead
✅️Lessened taboo around death
✅️Graveyards in the consciousness as gathering spaces rather than "just" body depositories
✅️OP's point + how many people died in childbirth without access to reproductive care

This death doula wants to sign up 🪦💚

We often think of trees when we think of forest carbon, but look down. 👇
Half of the roughly 771 billion tonnes stored in forests is held in the soil. Disturbing the forest floor means releasing this ancient carbon. Saving forests means saving their roots, their fungi, and their dirt.

A travel sized bottle of clear, viscous liquid with a blue cap sitting on a faux marble platform. There are four pennies and a rolled up piece of paper as offerings, forming an impromptu shrine. In a white block is text reading "Hallway lube, hallway lube / Left by an unsuspecting rube/ Seen by many, touched by few/ Hallway lube oh hallway lube"

This lone bottle of viscous, clear liquid
Left standing in the hotel hall
Abandoned
Unknown
Assumed to be lube (probably shampoo, we don't care)
We leave you offering and sing your praises
Thank you for your blessing, making this weekend smooth and pleasing
Hallway Lube, oh Hallway Lube

From left to right, a masculine person with long hair wearing a green shirt and black pants with a wintry flower crown and silver chain maille; a nonbinary person with long green hair wearing a huldra costume with an orange dress, hooves, and a curly tail; a femme-adjacent person with short curly hair, a fern printed shirt, and brown pants. They are all standing in front of a forest tapestry backdrop. Three people in front of a sparkly backdrop.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

A person in a crouched "troll-like" position, showing off their costume. The costume depicts a Huldra, a type of Scandinavian troll. The person is wearing a terracotta colored tunic-like dress with belts and lots of jewelry. They have green hair braided around prosthetic ears. They are wearing brown leggings and stilted hooves, and have a long curly tail with brown fur at the end peeking from under the dress. In the background is a chair, and there are various posters and a world map tapestry on the wall. A person in a crouched position, showing off their costume from behind.

The back of the dress is open and drapey to show what appears to be the rotten hollow trunk of a tree.

Don't wander off the trail. I am the warning of what becomes you.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

SO CLOSE to finishing my huldra costume for #Mythicon

And by "so close" I mean I still have an entire SFX back piece to make...
