Week in wildlife – in pictures: dormouse gets a checkup, a lucky kingfisher and a waving seal pup, from The Guardian

(via lindahoyland --many thanks!)

Kittens or puppies? Animals left at shelter turned out to be foxes — again, from The Washington Post

A teen dropped out of high school during WWII. Now 99, she just graduated, also from The Washington Post

That graduation story is unbelievably wonderful.

It is, isn't it? I'm glad her nephew inquired on her behalf...and who knew there was such a specification? She could've gotten the diploma long ago...

Those are fantastic animal pictures. I stan the hazel dormice in their secret lair.

About the diploma: I like the woman, I'm glad she got her diploma, and I think it's horrifically sad when we take the signifiers of production and investment so much more seriously than we take the substantial, real, life-giving production and investments themselves.

True...and also, it's a pity she didn't know about the wartime provision before, she could've requested it a long time ago
