I was walking my dogs yesterday and happened upon a monarch, fresh out of the chrysalis! Info from the U.S.D.A.: The butterfly waits until its wings are dry to fly. The butterfly must hang upside down while its wings are inflating and hardening in order for the wings to form properly.

Heads up wrt this coming vaccine label change:
(I got a covid booster back in late June because I figured something like this was coming).
From @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social: “If you’re under 65 and not high risk, the window to get a Covid-19 vaccine is right now—before the FDA label changes (possibly this Friday). Once it happens, access will be limited immediately.”

Silent Reading Picnic in Seattle yesterday.

Just 2 hours to sit and read, instrumental music in the background, and let your nervous system reset, in a setting where you aren’t “stealing time” to do so but rather being granted and encouraged to take it.

Would love to see this in more places.
