Because some comments make me think people missed the PSAs I do semi-regularly: if you were born before 1987, you should get a MMR booster now. The second childhood dose of MMR wasn't added until 1989, and folks who were older than 2 (the age for the 2nd) may not have gotten it.

It’s obviously not canon, but I think the Hoka pop up in the background of one of the Trek books (Ishmael).

A bunny with an acoustic guitar plays in front of a half-dozen frogs in a pond, while another bunny plays the bongo drum, and a third buny collects tips in a hat.

Alas! But thank you.

Would you object to me having one made up strictly for my own wearing? I bought one back in the day but it no longer fits.

Oh hey I remember when we did this to Iraq except Iraq only has like half a mile of coastline. Anyway everyone pretended it wasn't an act of war because we sent Coast Guard teams to the ships we interdicted and the Coast Guard was Dept of Transportation then DHS.

Just saw the first flutterby of spring. Probably a cabbage moth, but who cares.

It was white, so according to Moomin tradition, I will have a quiet summer. That’s fine with me.

a beagle mix with fluffy ears stands in an open metal vet kennel with an outstretched hand holding her so she doesn't step out and fall. the pup has a little brace on her front right leg.

a beagle mix with fluffy ears sits on an exam table with a bright blue hair net on her head. she looks off to the right, unsure of this look. a person wearing blue scrubs and blue gloves supports the pup's chest.

Mama Champagne, the beagle mix, sits in a plastic box on an exam table. the box is connected to a large machine that will test her swallowing. there are three monitors behind her. she looks over at the camera through the clear box.

This is Mama Champagne. She has oropharyngeal dysphagia, a condition where the throat muscles don’t work properly and food can't move safely from the mouth to the esophagus. She needs throat surgery to correct the disorder. You can help her below ❤️‍🩹

Welcome to the Hidden Almanac, I’m Reverend Mord.
Today is November 11th, 2016. 
My friends, it is a dark time now. And history is very long, but that is little comfort for those living through it. A year can be no time at all, but a minute can be an eternity.
But civilization is a great work. And kindness is a great work. And decency is a great work. It is not given to any one of us, no matter how long-lived, to see that work through to the end. But neither may we give up working on it. 
There is a proverb of a great people that translates…inelegantly. It says that if you are planting seeds and you learn that the world will end tomorrow, keep planting. 
I promise you that the seeds we plant now matter. If you do not have faith in gods or saints, have faith in each other, and in us. 
That’s the Hidden Almanac for November 11th, 2016. Be safe. You are not alone.
