Tess Finch Lees: From the Winter Olympics to Nasa, wearing masks is back – except when it comes to our hospitals
Despite mounting evidence on Covid’s harms, healthcare guidance is inadequate

Tess Finch Lees: From the Winter Olympics to Nasa, wearing masks is back – except when it comes to our hospitals Despite mounting evidence on Covid’s harms, healthcare guidance is inadequate

“Meanwhile, when asked why she’s masking during chemo, Meg now says, “I’m training for the Olympics”.”

It’s wild that masking in sports is sometimes more normalized than masking in medical settings.

Two minutes of weekend Fox zen as Roxy the Foxy gets ready for a nap. Finds the perfect spot using her tail as a pillow!

They won't ever let it go, the Crows.

This has gone on for 1000s of years. Just because a Heron once said something rude about them looking like Goth pigeons.

I find @grok to be particularly useful, and unlike one that I won't mention be name, is much less prone to hallucinations and attitude. Yes, they can sometimes be what one can only call passive aggressive. Never yet with Grok!

Buffy the escape artist at Lords Park Zoo. She regularly jumps the fence, but is getting a little big to clear it cleanly.

A Broad-winged Hawk soaring over the Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary meadow in Chicago. This visitor has been here for a week and is the first ever recorded Broad-wing at the Sanctuary. Very exciting for the dedicated patch birders.

Final post of my #navyweek experience. I wish I could do more of this. I know there is a recruiting element, but there’s more to it. It’s about getting away from the coasts and letting folks see who we are. It’s about connecting as Americans. It’s about getting to know the people we serve.
