Sandra the orangutang started washing her hands because she saw all the zookeepers doing it repeatedly during the COVID-19 crisis.

Wash your hands.

Wellington, meet the belugas! This weekend, Wellington visited Kayavak, Mauyak and baby Annik, who were very curious about this little rockhopper. Belugas are northern hemisphere animals, so they would likely never see a penguin! pic.twitter.com/XrpF3BlKnu

Stay well, everyone

My mom and I have been playing this game on our phone/iPad called Phase 10. It's a card game kind of like Gin Rummy. Really fun!

The re-create famous artwork thread is amazing!!

If you have Twitter, read this thread. This is very much my mother and all those that lived through wars and depression.

Just stopping into this thread to drop a bit of love today. Life intervened so I've not been able to post any social-distancing support posts. This thread brought a lot of joy during the initial intensity of stay-at-home orders, so thank you, Guardian Angel, for thinking of a way to support others in the adjustment.

Stay well, everyone

@GuardianAngel - I assume you know that is the Vulcan salute from Star Trek, invented by Leonard Nimoy who played Spock on The Original Series. Here is its derivation:

The famous Vulcan hand greeting in Star Trek was created by Leonard Nimoy. It is actually the physical representation of the Hebrew letter "shin," and comes from a Jewish prayer ceremony Nimoy remembered witnessing as a child growing up in Boston with Yiddish-speaking grandparents.
