The Orton Park oak, now retired from actually hosting (Quercus Emeritus) overlooks the Cycropia Aerial Dance performances at Orton Park Fest in Madison, WI this weekend. 7:30 PM on Friday, 8/29 and 8:30 PM on Saturday, 8/30. Come see!

Excuse me, what?

Sending you Saturday greetings in return from Casco Bay in Maine, where the temperature is perfect for a necklace-crown. ;)

Happy third day of Pride! Here’s another four-leaf clover for your day.

Happy second day of Pride! May this bring you luck.

Happy Pride! May this clover bring you something good.

In addition to the need to treat the problem, the city needs to educate residents, many of whom don’t even know the results of letting knotweed grow up against their buildings, and don’t know how to respond to it in ways that don’t just spread the problem wider.

My FB memories reminded me of the photo that made me fantasy fancast Indya Moore as Murderbot, a few years back . Does that not look like a picture of Murderbot? Just, like, make the pose a little more awkward and not wanting to be perceived. Alas.
