I finished this book a few days ago and I HIGHLY recommend it. The author endeavors not only to uncover the cruelty Henrietta Lacks and her family faced, but also who she was as an individual. If you’re looking for a book to read for #BlackHistoryMonth, this is a good one.
Picture of a book cover titled “The Immortal Life if Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot. The cover reads: “Doctors took her cells without asking. Those cells never died. They launched a medical revolution and a multimillion-dollar industry. More than twenty years later, her children found out. Their lives would never be same.”

#Dogs in #Baja 🐶🌵
A brown and white spaniel on the beach! His name is Baja, and he followed us down the beach for two hours and then went home! A golden retriever named Lexi! She was my beach neighbor :) A black lab named Cali sitting very politely on the beach. She was begging for my breakfast. An elderly chihuahua in a restaurant! She is the owner’s dog and gets lots of scraps from customers.

In honor of 2024, I’m going to post four tater pictures for each month. Here’s #January.

Olli the standard poodle prancing with a ball on a walk. We’re on a snowy forested trail in Alaska. Olli closing his eyes, sitting very politely with snow all over his nose. Blurry image of Olli with snow all over his face Picture of me and Olli :) I’m making a silly face and he’s looking at the camera

a pine tree with bugs hanging all around it. at the very top is a dragonfly-like meganeura with open wings, circling the base is the giant millipede arthropleura. on the branches sit various insects and circular pine cones.

Sometimes, when things just don't feel right, I spend some time in the Shrimp Zone. There is no stress here, only shrimps.

Photo looking into a planted aquarium tank. White sand is covered in spotty green Monte Carlo plants. A stick partially topped in thick Java moss protrudes from a small forest of stem plants in the background. Blue velvet shrimp are clustered in the foreground, searching for food. A well camouflaged amano shrimp sits on the stick, eating a red food pellet. Photo looking into the top part of a planted aquarium tank. The background is a fuzzy mass of Java moss and stem plants. Long, green whispy roots from floating water lettuce descend in the foreground. A single brown amano shrimp hangs onto one of the roots, holding a red food pellet with a string of moss attached to it. This shrimp is named Big Mama.

Christmas sea anemone (Urticina crassicornis) in a tide pool with mottled sea stars Pile of sunflower stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides) in the ocean on a rocky seafloor *ID is tentative, feel free to correct me! Hard to see, but a stout shrimp (Heptacarpus brevirostris) blue in color with a green stripe behind the head *Unsure if ID
