Hello everyone again,
Today, November 19th, is World Toilet Day, a sponsored awareness campaign
by the United Nations for sanitation health. Here's their tweet:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dorsey
I'm putting it to the list if or how we should acknowledge this day while
keeping within our tone of being respectful and somewhat informative–social
media can be bit of a gawk-fest from what I've seen; but also important
since lack of access to sanitation impacts health, dignity, and safety.
Fb: Since 2001, World Toilet Day has been raising awareness about the
importance of access to proper sanitation. It is estimated that 1/3 people
in the world lack proper facilities.

Wikipedia Article: Far side of the Moon
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_side_of_the_Moon>
Fb: Newer research suggests that the reason the side of the moon facing
Earth has fewer impact craters is heat from Earth at the time when the Moon
was formed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_side_of_the_Moon

from the Earth, it is considered a good location for placing radio
telescopes for use by astronomers.

This would have been better for me to find yesterday (it was the Monday
media of the day on commons) but
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Private_Life_of_a_Cat.ogv is oddly
addictive and (less oddly) adorable :). It's a 20 minute public domain
video following a cat having and bringing up her new kittens that was
uploaded a couple days ago (transferred from the Internet Archive). Given
the relatively universal love of cat videos online I always think some
new/fitting ones work well and it's been a while since we posted one.
I'm far to tired so not doing great thinking up SM messages atm but thought
I'd post this now in case those awake before me have a fresher mind and if
not I'll chime in when I get up/into office :). Would be awesome if we
could uploaded it natively I imagine, we can get an already converted mp4
version on Internet Archive <https://archive.org/details/PrivateL1947>.
