Oz is currently with my parents because I cannot raise a kitten and finish my degree at the same time. He's doing fantastic with them! I'll be posting some archival photos of Oz in the meantime. Anyways, here's a photo my brother took of Oz looking rather handsome! :3

Anyone else feel it was completely irresponsible of the New York Times to publish "Why the Pandemic Probably Started in a Lab, in 5 Key Points" without counter argument? Especially since the author is a scientist herself. It was completely misleading and lack any evidence to back up her "key points"
