A pika sits on a mossy rock. Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head. An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye. An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.

"Brazilian fossils in particular, according to a law established in 1942, don’t belong to the finder, noted Taissa Rodrigues, a professor of paleontology at the Federal University of Espirito Santo in Brazil. 'It belongs to the country.'" www.cnn.com/2025/08/15/s...

🚨🚨 Help Needed! 🚨🚨 Christine + family are living in a broken tent. The pole can't be fixed. They have a sturdier tent on their wish list, if anyone is looking for an opportunity to do a good deed today. Thanks!

She missed a lot of work taking care of her dad, so she's feeling all kinds of things right now. Thank you for helping.

$0/40 for benadryl, sanitary supplies needed TODAY $0/27 baclofen needed TOMORROW Azine needs meds & supplies ASAP. Baclofen withdrawal is *dangerous*, especially when it's hot. I don't know how much longer we can keep her alive without more help. #MutualAid PP: madeleinewedemeijer@gmail.com

ID: A pond with a duck trailing ducklings on the water & a fox on the shore. Surrounding the lake is a forest of evergreen trees and a snowy landscape. The words are in white with black borders. Transcript: Azine's Story Azine travels the world to meet people dear to her. That is her reason for living, as she doesnt know how much time she has left. This goes for everyone, especially with how the world is today. Goes extra for her because of heart-lung disease from birth + a series of embolisms in 2016. Embolisms are kept at bay by medication, due to having had more than one. Dystonia and seizures, were made worse by Lyme disease (tick bite 2009). MCAS, probably from birth, is made a lot worse by environmental toxins. She takes 4 antihistamines including compounded ketotifen (expensive) in very high doses to keep her skin from peeling off & to keep limited food down.

Thank you so much, Karen! She is so frazzled trying to work and grieve and survive, she didn't even know what to put on it.

I'll come back later and add her Venmo and Cash app, if anyone would like to help directly. She definitely needs help with gas to get to work. 3/3 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Many of us are really struggling, but let's see what we can do to minimize the hardship for Christine's family. I put together a wish list for them with things I found helpful when I was camping. Hopefully, they'll be able to get back on their feet again soon. 2/3 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My friend Christine and her family are living in a tent -- a broken tent -- and no one should live in a tent unless they really really want to. Christine has a heart condition that COVID did not help. She just lost her father recently on top of losing their home. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... 1/3
