I’m (trying) to take a break from The Horrors so I’m not going to be around much for an unknown amount of time. If someone could End The Horrors I’d appreciate it.

Nice thread on a species to admire from afar
Glacier the skunk is chowing down on an apple in her home at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Good news if it actually does what it says it will do. Let's reduce morbidity and mortality in Black women and children.
