Numerous beings will suffer the consequences, beings we cannot see but whose presence makes nature beautiful.

What is "the burning river?"

More like 4-5 decades. I live against “the burning river”. We just started to see aquatic life, including river otters, come back. People are using it for recreation now.

I work with municipal wastewater facilities, who are (were) required by EPA to remove PFAS from muni water. This is doing an about face on the US cleanup for the last 2 to 3 decades. People will suffer and die. Corporations need to be held to account, not just municipal waste water facilities.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

Why are other people so attached to hypothetical babies for other people? They’re mourning something someone doesn’t want for themselves.

They were at a similar crossroads once upon a time, took the safer option, and need so badly to convince themselves that they made the right decision.

Must also be why FanFiction is doing this (I am on my phone I can’t block or unblock anything lol).

I'm going to start calling these Alito raids since he's all about religious freedom when it comes to bashing LGBTQ people but not when it's armed gestapo bashing in the doors of churches on Christmas.

Is this why photos on Twitter won’t load?

The budget passed—but not with my vote. I won’t support a Republican agenda built on cruelty and corruption—and that’s exactly what this budget was. I’ll keep fighting to protect and expand health care for every Delawarean and every American.

Panel 3: Pink Guy is relaxing in his living room, having a lovely cup of tea. He has no intention of going to help save the AI sinking slop ship.

Hunger is not a good strategy if you want to maintain the peace and your base…

“There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy” — Alfred Henry Lewis

Makes you wonder if that’s their goal.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

A tweet from Bad Hombre (@joma_gc) says: “Imagine booing newly enlisted members of our military and thinking you’re the good guys. Democrats are truly disgraceful and an embarrassment to our country.” Below is a blurred photo of Donald Trump speaking at a podium, holding a microphone.

Guy thinks the crowd was booing the troops and not Trump. Pure delusion.

Original poster To find this statement from DP strange 137 replies Totaleclipseofaheart Yesterday 21:21 For context- DP and I have been together a decade and recently became parents. His mother has become incredibly overbearing and after months of keeping quiet I finally confided in my DP and told him what toll it was having on my mental well being and that I (not him or us) need to see her less. Our relationship with DP has taken a nose dive since that convo and he has recently told me that he struggling to see a future for us as HE IS AT HIS HAPPIEST WHEN HE IS WITH HIS MUM AND DAD. Is it unreasonable of me to find this statement from a man in his late 30s who has just had a baby really strange? IG & Threads: @ask_aubry
