Digital illustration done in a monochrome palette of brick-red and orange. It shows a happy, proud fox sitting on a stump and wearing a straw hat with a ribbon. There’s a snail looking up at the fox from the bottom of the stump. There’s a vague forest in the background and a floral frame surrounding the drawing.

Flu and Covid vaccines are now pretty readily available, so please remember to get your yearly boosters! I got both today, they were completely free and I actually got a $10 off store coupon per vaccine. It’s literally that easy to protect yourself and others!

This pleasant-looking raccoon at the Natural History Museum made my day today and I can’t stop thinking about him. What a perfect smile.

God this is so monumentally disappointing to say the least. Clicking through to the article and reading everyone that’s already been announced is even worse
