“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”
Abdulla is a prominent and well-respected voice with deep connections in the UAE whom I’ve followed for many years. His statement here is significant:
To me that looks like a handle (and I have a leash like that).
Happy National Velociraptor Awareness Day!

A cat that looks like a red panda. Or.......is it a red panda that looks like a cat?
If anyone would like to see a photo of a cat that wishes it was a red panda, this is your lucky day.

I need a break….

There are lots of trees in the #WoodlandsTX, but way too many buildings in between 😂. However, I remember driving down the road after #HurricaneIke, and it was absolutely bizarre seeing the place without trees. Very creepy.
Flour comes from a plant, sugar comes from a plant, and chocolate comes from a plant.

I find myself more in agreement with this post every day:
We need a lot more voices to call out this nonsense. There is safety in numbers, afterall
