Smoke has arrived in Seattle, but the other side of the Cascades is absolutely brutal. Wenatchee and other towns (e.g., Plain, Entiat) have been over 1,000 AQI today. Please use air purifiers, N95 masks, and avoid being outdoors if you’re able - there is no safe level of wildfire smoke exposure.

How Bogota offers a blueprint for climate-smart, resilient urban growth reut.rs/4fBhPCB

How Bogota offers a blueprint for climate-smart, resilient urban growth

Posting Meatball the Cat daily until I can find a loving home for this sweet kitty cat. I will drive him up to three hours from Detroit for the right owner. He's got a long life ahead of him and he needs you!

Brian in Detroit@kanoki.net · 3w ago

Meatball needs a loving, caring home. He is a sweet, gentle boy who needs to be a permanent indoor cat, as he has FiV, which is a very manageable and uncomplicated chronic illness. He can even live with non-FIV cats! I will deliver him personally within a 3 hour drive of Detroit. Please! I love him
