It’s $5 Friday!
This is Willow.
Found on a dead end road in Nash Cty.
It’s a miracle she’s alive.
She’s now at our vet for care.
It’ll be a long road.
If you’d like to help Willow, we truly appreciate it ❤️‍🩹🥹♥️.

Happy 100th birthday to Oakland's historic Grand Lake Theatre!

Last week, I had the privilege to rewatch "Sinners" in 70mm. Oakland's own Ryan Coogler, Delroy Lindo, Raphael Saadiq, and other crew members were on hand for an amazing post-screening talk!

When I first saw this lizard, I thought it was a western fence lizard, but upon further inspection, I realized it must be a southern sagebrush lizard. The scale size and pattern were slightly different. Now that I’ve identified the lizard, can you #FindThatLizard?

Similar to other spiny lizards, male southern sagebrush lizards, Sceloporus vandenburgianus, are very territorial. They do push-ups and show off their blue bellies. They defend their territories even outside of mating season.

I have a secret to tell Marc: The reason for being a moral, decent, good person is not so that people like you and stop criticizing you. In fact, you're right, they won't. You do it anyway.

Excuse me! It’s Percy here. Mum says I have such a sweet face, with lots of emotions and feelings on it, like I understand what she’s thinking. Which is nice. However, I tried to eat a daffodil this morning, which Mum says is bad because they are poisonous to cats. So I won’t do that again! 💛

Chums! Baby Dog here. I found a lovely Daffodil. All by itself in the woods. I thought it might be lonely so I kept it company for a while. It seemed happy to see me 💛💛 #dogs #SpringWatch

Friends! It’s Random Acts of Kindness Day! Did you know? You might all be too busy eating your Pancakes to realise! But I wanted you to know that Baby Dog is being kind by sharing his toy Freddie with me. I bet you’ve all been kind today too - you’re the kindest group of people I know! ❤️❤️

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

The message about Lulu was 💔
Injured & unwanted.
They waited too long & we had to amputate her leg.
Lulu didn’t have posts or pledges.
Just an acquaintance who heard people saying they didn’t want her.
If you want to help Lulu’s, we truly thank you!

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods

“It's hard to explain," said Brutha. "But I think it's got something to do with how people should behave... you should do things because they're right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time.”
