Shoutout to BJ Hall for sharing this gorgeous shot from earlier this year, when spring snow was still hanging on. He captured Mount Washington, the Presidential Range, and the Omni Mount Washington Resort on a sunny day.
It may still feel like summer, but winter will be here before we know it.
Fun fact: Mount Washington has seen measurable snow in every month of the year except July.

Ten days after Liv Clark launched an Instagram account for Seacoast Period Pantry, an effort to make period products, contraceptives, and other reproductive health supplies available for free throughout the Seacoast, the responses started pouring in.
Businesses wanted donation boxes. Organizations wanted pantries. People she barely knew were offering to help.
“It’s growing faster than I expected,” said Clark, a Rochester resident who turns 29 this month.
The pantries will be stocked with pads, tampons, menstrual cups, period underwear and reusable pads, along with pregnancy tests, condoms, and over-the-counter birth control. Clark also plans to offer products including Plan B, Midol, and Monistat, although what is available will vary by location.
The idea is simple: Put the supplies somewhere people can easily access them and let them take what they need, no questions asked.

Global wealth has expanded while inequality has shrunk …

South Asia reversed its vulture crisis …
In the late 1990s, vultures across the region were collapsing toward extinction. Scientists identified the culprit: diclofenac, a livestock painkiller toxic to vultures feeding on carcasses. After India, Nepal, and Pakistan banned veterinary diclofenac in 2006, they built breeding centers, developed safer drugs, and established Vulture Safe Zones. Two decades later, populations are recovering and three species on the brink are bouncing back. RSPB
