Im here for the cute animals, learning a small something new sometimes, and some politics. But, if one does post a cute animal, we should be able to post how cute they are. I appreciate dogs & cats & most animalls. Heres a cute turtle boy.

That’s when you’re supposed to ask your allies first, get feedback, and make a realistic plan. Not, storm the castle like a truckload of drunk turkeys by yourself. Then, said truck gets stuck in mud & need allies to help get the truck of turkeys out of the mud. They won’t help b/c they were snubbed.

And radioactive to the N’th degree after a dozen nukes dropped! 👀 The air, the water & the land around the new channel so radioactive that anyone near it, would end up with radiation poisoning or cancer or both. Were illicit substances consumed when this idea was floated? 🤦‍♀️

Call your senators & tell them NO! on Save Act HR 22. If the s*xist voter suppression bill passes: If not in the military but have real ID but it’s NOT from NY,WA,VT,MI or MN, you will need to find money(voter tax on married women)to get a passport or change your name back to your maiden name.☹️

My mom said loosing her son(unsolved murder)has been the worse thing ever in her life. It forever changed her; the grief prolonged & intense. Families grieving the loss of their kids, be they Iranian or American troops, the families are devastated and some get angry as part of the grieving process.

The female sea turtle is getting good rehab care. Article photo did show vets cleaning her shell, revealing 2 older injuries on her top shell. They will check for internal injuries. There are reasons she couldn’t swim fast enough to dissuade the organisms from hitching a ride & covering her. ❤️🐢

Mayor Mamdani, These other politicians shouldn’t worry about NYC and they need to check their privilege. They don’t live in NYC. Let the residents of NYC decide. Hey look! They already did! They voted you in as Mayor! 😊 You are doing good work. Keep it going. 😊❤️

Cleaned my tortoise boy’s face today with a warmed up Q-tip. He is more apt to allow a wet warmed Q-tip to gently wipe his face clean of any dust debris and any skin segment shedding about his nose & top of head. I’m careful of his eyes of course. Afterwards, he suns under the lights.

The suffering was the top 1 percent having to pay a little more of their fair share & not buying their 3rd yacht or 5th home. Meanwhile, the working class got a small help(8k)with down payment for 1st time homebuyers & help with healthcare. I still live in the home I got help with the down payment.

Make the appointment (and keep it) & then ask for enough of the medication to get you to the appointment. Many MH meds can’t be stopped suddenly without some adverse effects. Your MH prescriber should give you enough to get you to the appointment. -US healthcare worker

I like the one with your girl turtle looking at her reflection in the glass the most. They are all cute.

I hear you. ❤️ They would rather take food & healthcare away and blow tons of money on stupid wars with no reason. They won’t lift a finger to help regular Americans deal with gun violence and help make our schools & places of worship safer from gun violence. It’s very frustrating.

Sounds like you were a victim of medical sexism🤦‍♀️ Did they do an EKG? Ask about medical history, meds you take, family history of heart disease? Diabetics & women can present differently when they are having heart problems. If it happens again, ask for a woman MD if available. - healthcare worker

The look on that cat’s face comes across as, “ Really? You believe that? Ok. Wow!”

Oh,she didn’t? Thought for sure she would have. Well, maybe the wood separator was slippery enough she couldn’t get her toenails hooked in well to push herself up & over. This is one of my girls doing her climbing and pull ups.

She probably made it up and over onto the rug. A cute escape artist. 🥰🐢

If they block you, it means you probably don’t need to read their negative replies. You can’t fix maga brainwashing. They have to learn the hard way. Think MTG. She didn’t start questioning until her own kids were impacted by increased healthcare costs.

Definitely a cutie tortoise. 🥰🐢 Glad she woke up from her hibernation. She’s probably hungry I would imagine.

Thank you so much😊 I learned something new. They eat snails as their primary food source. The snail shells will give them a good calcium source. Cute to appreciate at a distance in the wild. Their bite force to crack snail shells would do serious damage to fingers. Pet trade needs to leave them be.

Ouch! I have nothing to complain about in comparison. Your area is a lot worse! I know Hawaii and Southern California can be expensive. Didn’t know Arizona was riding the high gas prices bus. I did buy a hybrid about 3 months ago b/c my 2012 Prius rusted out bad. It’s fuel economy will help some.

So, I drove by a gas station with cheapest gas is $3.499 per gallon today. 2 days ago it was 3.299. So, about 10 cents a day the price goes up. It will be 10 days to bring it to $4.499 per gallon if the rate of increase stays the same.

Yes, it is. Burning petroleum is carcinogenic and that mushroom cloud is full of things toxic to humans and animals alike. ☹️

Really cute turtle. 🥰🐢 I love the markings on the turtle’s head. Do you know the name of the turtle’s species by chance? I want to look it up and learn about them a bit.
