got to watch the sky light up before sunrise on my way to work yesterday and you know what? Earth is pretty beautiful sometimes
Pre-dawn sunrise glow over a beach. The sky is a gradient of orange-yellow-blue with clouds and contrails glowing pink. Pre-dawn sunrise glow over Lake Michigan. The sky is a gradient of orange-yellow-blue with clouds and contrails glowing pink. The lake is a dark, wavy teal.

took a moment to go pay my respects to Dr. Goodall’s memory at the statue here in Chicago.
bronze statue of a young Jane Goodall holding hands with a chimpanzee over a red-painted nut, sitting in a garden of native plants. The Red Palm Nut — Jane Goodall and David Graybeard Marla Friedman, sculptor American, b.1954 Bronze, 2017 In 1960 26-year-old Jane Goodall extended her hand to offer a palm nut to David Graybeard, one of the chimpanzees she had been studying. The chimp wasn’t interested in the nut, but gently held onto her hand, signaling his understanding and acceptance of her gesture. This breakthrough moment marked a turning point in Goodall’s work that would lead to unprecedented discoveries about our closest living relatives. A gift to the Field Museum from Jessica and Steve Sarowitz.

I’m in, here are some lake pictures as tribute
Cerulean blue Lake Michigan water. Clouded sunrise over Lake Michigan, golden hues reflecting on the water. Rocky shore of Lake Michigan with the skyline of Chicago visible in the distance. Clouded sunrise over a deep green Lake Michigan, golden rays of light shining through the clouds.

the Shaq gummies look more like weed gummies than actual weed gummies do
picture of two packages of Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies, normal and sour. The normal ones are in a purple package and are shaped like Shaq's face. The sour ones are in a bright green package and are shaped like a shamrock, a cactus, and a truck.
