Sulfur Run, where the chemicals first entered waterways from The Norfolk Southern #disaster is practically free of water in some places.
Some places are flowing others seemingly with stagnant pools.

Sheen still exudes from the Sulfur Run creek banks in places where we visited.
We did see free floating sheen (not from us disturbing) after the confluence of Sulfur Run and Leslie Run.

PERSONAL UPDATE: My cat - Bruce Willis - is still missing. First week of May, your donations for a reward will all be refunded. Im exceedingly sad and I miss my boy, but I don’t think he’s coming home. I’d like to update you on what I’ve done in the meantime. 1/
While out looking for Bruce (which had to be funny - me walking the streets shouting BRUCE WILLIS at the top of my lungs and shaking a can of cat treats), I noticed I was being followed by a MASSIVE, hungry Tom Cat who still had his troublepuffs™️2/
I decided rescue him. I called all the neighbors to make sure he was a stray, picked him up, got him neutered, vaccinated, & groomed (he was covered in flea dirt), and brought him home. We got along FAMOUSLY. I named him Wilford (because he clearly resembles Wilford Brimley.) 3/

1/ The city of Istanbul is chock full of cats, with some estimates putting the number of stray felines at 125,000. The citizens of Istanbul do not see this as a problem; they welcome their feline friends with open arms #Caturday
2/ Istanbul has a long history of caring for cats, which goes all the way back to the origins of the city and is firmly rooted in their culture, Islamic beliefs and sense of practicality #Caturday
Cats were valued by Islamic scholars, who are said to have kept them in their libraries, because they would prey on mice that would ruin books. Cats are often depicted in paintings alongside Islamic scholars & bibliophiles

Finally.
Situation here. Russia is bombing various regions in Ukraine for two hours now. No impacts in Lviv so far.
On the way to Kyiv physical war damage is still visible all around from Makariv to the east. Ukraine started fixing the first damaged bridges and is cleaning up everywhere, but even here it will take years to rebuild what Russia destroyed in February and March last year.
Meow! It's #Caturday night, and you made a superior choice to hang out wif your furry frends an lissen to #ProgRock at #CarterSnowPark tonight, an #NipClub pals too!

It's #Caturday, so here's a look at a smallish botnet that tweeted identical tweets about bobcats playing on a Texas golf course.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
This botnet consists of 15 accounts created in 2018 that mostly abstained from tweeting until mid-2022. Most of their recent tweets were sent via the Twitter Web App, with the exception of 183 retweets that were somehow sent via "Twitter Web Client" (the pre-2019 Twitter web UI).
The content posted by this network is extremely repetitive, with 124 distinct tweets that were tweeted at least once by all 15 accounts. None of the content is original; the repeated tweets are all plagiarized Twitter headlines.
Cats are an inherent part of Moroccan culture & everyday life, living harmoniously with the people of the country. The reason stems from Islamic beliefs, which have made them ubiquitous across the Muslim world.

The Wife loved cats. She spent years helping me run our cat shelter until my paralysis made it infeasible to continue. But she continued to maintain the feral colony until these last months. Her cats, our cats, the colony cats will all miss her.😿
