Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

People of LA: Pissed he just illegally cut down 60 Cherry Blossom Trees that were each 100+ years old? How about the 79 indigenous California Oak trees over 150+ years old that the LA28 Olympic team is trying to destroy for an unneeded cross-country track, right now? This is America. FIGHT IT.

Residents voiced opposition to a proposal to remove dozens of oak trees at Santa Anita Park as part of preparations for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.ARCADIA, Calif. (KABC) -- Residents voiced opposition Thursday to a proposal to remove dozens of oak trees at Santa Anita Park as part of preparations for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The proposal from Santa Anita Park would remove 34 oak trees and affect the root zones of an additional 45 oak trees to make room for an equestrian cross-country course. The trees are protected under a preservation order.
Neighbors at a community meeting held to discuss the proposal expressed frustration over the potential loss of the trees and questioned the project's environmental impact.
"I'm perturbed for a lot of reasons. One, I like trees and these trees gotta be 150 years old. They're old," Arcadia resident Dennis Cosso told Eyewitness News.
Another attendee said, "They were greenwashing everything."

People who haven't played Tales of Symphonia: "Aww they're holding hands. She's probably writing something really cute on his hand :)" People who HAVE played Tales of Symphonia: Crying. Bawling. Rolling on the floor. Wants to kill God. Really hate a huge ass tree.

Happy anniversary to my favourite game of all time [ #talesofsymphonia #TOS23周年 #シンフォニア23周年 ]

I checked mine. I get a popup saying I can’t view my voter status due to my voter status, which I have to assume means they cancelled my registration. Looks like I need to re-register. And contact the Texas Secretary of State and find out why I was removed. (Not the 1st time either.)

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

I know the thread might sound harsh- but most clients are incredibly accomodating with whatever delay life trows at you as long as YOU (the artist) keeps them posted. If you think something will keep you away from work for more than 2 weeks, you let the client know. Doing commissions is a JOB.

Dear artists, You NEED to keep in contact with your commissioners. That's right, all of them. If they paid you money, you MUST communicate with them and tell them what's going on. You cannot just ghost someone for months and months after promising a quick turnaround and expect them to be happy!

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.
