I backed this project. It's a great product for kids to learn about nature and it's a great product to help tree frogs, which are losing habitat.

This hit me so hard because this week I have watched the destruction of a large stand of trees across the street from me. All for either more acreage for crops or a house. Far from the destruction of the buffalo, but seems similar white person energy.

A reddish lobster-like creature, crawdad/crayfish, with both claws open and raised toward the sky as if it’s flipping you off.

I had to tell a mutual acquaintance yesterday that the person they called by their dead name is trans. Not directly, but I said "She goes by *preferred name* now." The "Oh..." was a little too long for my comfort. However, hopefully the matter-of-fact way I mentioned the name made an impression.

I was at this event and can say with all sincerity, Jess is a force to be reckoned with. We have to get in the way of fascist if we want to save America and its values - its true values. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

have, but do you think I can save or invest that? August and September are my 2 most expensive months of the year, aside from December (homeowner's insurance then, estimating $2250 this year) with my propane bill and county taxes. Those will be another $2200. Thank goodness for bonuses...?

Here's where the money goes. I received a ~110 bonus for last month's sales. Cool, right? Well, groceries are costing me an average of $110/week FOR JUST ME and my cats (I am a raw pet food advocate/feeder) AT ALDI and this month my car license is due, which is $150. Yes it's ~$110 more than I would

β€˜We’re terribly sorry’: South Park creators respond with humour to White House anger over naked Donald Trump Speaking at Comic-Con on Thursday, Trey Parker and Matt Stone revealed they spent days negotiating with producers to show the US president’s genitals South Park co-creator Trey Parker had the briefest of responses on Thursday to anger from the White House over the latest season premiere, which showed a naked Donald Trump in bed with Satan. β€œWe’re terribly sorry,” Parker said, followed by a long, deadpan-comic stare.

Now Yazoo’s β€œOnly You” in a fucking Amazon commercial? Please make it stop. This was not β€œcommercial” in the β€˜80s. It was literally ignored on commercial radio then and could only be heard on great stations like KROQ and college radio in the US then. And yes, they will always be Yazoo not Yaz.

β€œHe is a good man that loves the Lord,” former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay wrote. β€œHe gets his integrity and values from Him. He doesn’t deserve what he is going through. I ask that you consider the man that is before you and give him leniency where you can.”
I’m sure his victims didn’t agree.

This is what I've been saying but we're so chained to our corporate overloads that we continue to go to work every day like nothing's changed. Social media is so many voices to try to organize something would be a miracle, but also very easy if the right people spoke up. Like Democrats.

If only more people would. I believe we need more screaming "fuck you's" from our side, because that's the only way to answer their "fuck you's" to us, which is what they did by taking away the rights of people legally allowed to be here, also decimating federal programs, and institutions.
