White people love to be like "I avoid Black people because I'm scared I'll accidentally be racist to them" and think it's 1) somehow not racist to do this 2) a normal thing to do and admit
Headcanon: Much like Grey Wing being Silverpelt and Clear Sky being the daytime sky, Jackdaw's Cry and Falling Feather are the Sun and the Moon respectively.
Falling Feather is the Moon. She is shown to have an affinity for water, drawn to its allure but never fully commiting to it like a Riverclan cat would, much like the Moon has influence on the oceans yet is not in full control. She is seen to be conflicted in many of her decisions, especially those regarding leaving Jackdaw's Cry as she is and keeps close to him, but stays firm in her choices; relating to the Moon, its light is that of the Sun's and it is always seen as half of the cycle of the two, but it has it's own changes (the moon phase cycle) and moves of it's own accord rather than anything related to the Sun. She is calm and level-headed, but stubborn in her choices and firm in her beliefs and wants. She fits the Moon due to the way she handles her choices and relationships.
Jackdaw's Cry is the Sun. He is shown to dislike water and prefers prey found usually during daylight, and is even part of a hunting patrol to catch a hawk out of the air and is even later commented to be able to jump the highest out of the traveling cats. This comes into play later when he's shown to easily jump high flamed during a forest fire. He is passionate and confident, constantly forming strong opinions on topics and speaking his mind, yet he also knows when too much is too much and can quickly calm down. He fits the Sun due to his bright and passionate personality and preferences.
Of course, there's probably better evidence for this, but I just skimmed the wiki after coming up with the idea.
Hospitals and medical centers across the country are asking sewers to make face masks to protect out health workers. You can google “how to sew face masks for hospitals” to find out where fabric masks are being requested.
Stillwater Medical Center is asking sewers to follow the face mask pattern from buttoncounter.com here.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Citing shortages, Deaconess Health System, including Henderson’s Methodist Health, has asked the public to sew face masks for staff fighting coronavirus.
“This does follow CDC protocols that you can find on their website that if all other supplies are not available, that handmade masks that meet certain criteria are acceptable,” Deaconess spokeswoman Becca Scott said.
The release with the video, pattern and instructions was posted to the Deaconess Facebook page Thursday morning and is available at www.deaconess.com/masks. A PDF of the pattern is available here and embedded at the bottom of this article.
Deaconess has “a sample video” about how to make the masks, which Scott said will be sterilized when they come in.
Additional Resources for Open Source or Volunteer COVID-19 Projects:
One of my favorite how-to sites is Instructables. The DIY Cloth Face Mask has almost 100,000 views. It is a step-by-step instruction for those who need it. Kudos to ashevillejm.
In 2006, CDC released a Simple Respiratory Mask design using heavyweight t-shirts in its Emerging Infectious Diseases journal. More of an academic post, but some ideas in it.
A Facebook group was formed last week: Open Source COVID19 Medical Supplies. It is worth a visit — in just a few short days there are 20,000-plus members and volunteers.
If you are looking for some research and street-level testing of various materials for DIY mask-making, this post from Smart Air Filters is exceptional: What Are The Best Materials for Making DIY Masks? It also includes a few great links at the end of it.

i played the gourmand slugcat for about an hour and managed to get to moon. however, upon getting to moon, i finally realized the gourmands ability was to spit out random items!
the best part? the first item this fucker spit out was bees. the nest got stuck at the part where you leave moon. no matter what i did i couldn’t get past it. it got to the point where i gave up and just exited and reopened the game.
fucking bees man.
