Important (Not cat related I’m sorry)

Okay yes I know this isn’t cat related in any way but an update on the fire situation here in NorCal (Named Camp Fire):

From what I understand the entire town of Paradise is gone ( 95% burned from what I heard) and the entire town of 27,000 people was evacuated to Chico and safe surrounding areas but there are still some people missing. There’s only 3 main roads in/out of Paradise and there was major gridlock so a normally 25 minute drive into Chico took 2 ½ hours. The fire is at 70,000 acres and only 5% contained

Part of Chico was evacuated but my area is safe for now and I don’t really think the fire will spread into the city but it’s always possible so have a bag packed just in case if you live near here

This whole thing is crazy and if anyone lives in Chico or the surrounding area and wants to help out, you can bring canned food and non perishable foods and other things to any of the evacuation shelters in town. I live in Chico and honestly it looks like a whole different world up here

Here’s some pictures I took (first row only) sorry they’re not that good and kinda grainy but you can still see how bad it is. (I took the first two at around 4:00 PM so it’s not dark, that’s all smoke and the orange in the second picture is the glow of the fire towards Paradise. The third one looks far away but it’s the fire coming over the hill pretty close to town) *The 2nd row of photos are ones I found on our local news website I didn’t take them*

Sorry to anyone that just wants to see cat pictures but this whole fire personally affects me so I wanted to make a post about it and inform people on the situation

The bumblebee was officially added to the endangered species list.

 Please:

Go plant an organic flower native to wherever you are

Leave your “weeds” alone they probably aren’t hurting anything

Stop using/buying Roundup and all other insecticides, herbicides, pesticides. 

If you have a bee problem (which almost never happens) call a local beekeeper! They will remove them safely free of charge

Bumblebees usually nest underground and just wanna be left alone! They won’t hurt you. To prevent destroying their habit during hibernation, avoid mowing yards until April or May. If you do mow, raise the blades to the highest setting

Please save my fat clumsy fuzzy friends I love them and they’re very good pollinators.

It checks out.

First U.S. Bumblebee Officially Listed as Endangered

I’ve seen maybe 3 bumblebees over 2 summers the last couple years. When l was a kid they were abundant

PLEASE REBLOG THIS WARNING

HEY GUYS

The new Venom movie has a scene with intense flashing lights (the lab entry scene) and I received no warnings and had to leave (just for that scene) as I am epileptic!!! PLEASE share this since I’ve seen NO warnings being shared and this is very important and can prevent people from having seizures etc during the film.
