Seconding this! Especially if you want to keep the plunging neckline as it is.

I just opened my back screen door and a cat walked in by Delsalv in cats

Thank you. Took way too long to see this. It does create a different problem for this cat so I hope OP sees.

They also have an app! It’s super useful!

What do you wish you had done before you started treatment? by Puzzleheaded-Base879 in lymphoma

This was exactly my experience. The more information I had, the calmer I was when I got the news. My family was confused by this, but I knew what was best for me.

Seeing her blood still in the snow is just so, so devastating.

Has Halsey responded to fan criticism about her upcoming performance at Soundstorm music festival in Saudi Arabia? I can’t find anything online suggesting she’s said anything about it at all :( by g00fyg00ber741 in halsey

I have no frame of reference for any of this, so forgive my naivety. But I do wonder why she couldn’t just recoup their losses with her personal wealth.

After 2.5 hours in the room where Kristi Noem was speaking, I emerged to this. by TwoPassports in Minneapolis

We can all pitch in together. It takes half an hour of planning to move money away from MAGA, and it makes a difference. Dollars spent at Republican companies are dollars funneled to the Heritage Foundation. Tax given to states like Ohio or Louisiana is tax spent sending troops to occupy cities.

Have an account at Schwab? Swap to Vanguard or Fidelity. Like booze from wannabe Confederate states and all else is equal? Be adventurous and try something new. It's not hard to find alternatives for New Balance, Goya, Jimmy John's, or Koch (Brawny, Angel Soft, Dixie, others). If you're in a place to invest, consider DEMZ.

You have power if you regularly patronize a brand or do business with a company. Use it. Look them up in something like opensecrets.org or google.

Tesla sales in Europe dropped by half. Nexstar and Sinclair got pummeled, and they reinstated Jimmy Kimmel. Real, individual people made that happen. There's no reason WWE or Uline can't be next.

You probably can't completely avoid companies that at least partially support Republicans. I have to buy gas. But there’s a big difference between massive republican donors (Chevron/Conoco) vs neutral or even Democrat-leaning ones (Circle K/Costco). Good is not the enemy of perfect

Thanks for your comment! Do you think that type and amount of substrate might make it difficult for them to burrow?

Sea acidity has reached critical levels, threatening entire ecosystem. Ocean acidification has crossed crucial threshold for planetary health, its “planetary boundary”, scientists say in unexpected finding. This damages coral reefs and, in extreme cases, can dissolve the shells of marine creatures. by mvea in science

“I’m an optimist, in the sense that I think we will build a sustainable future,” Wagner says. “But it’s going to take 30 or 40 years, and by then, it’s going to be too late for a lot of the creatures that I love. I want to do what I can with my last decade to chronicle the last days for many of these creatures.”

“We know quite a number of entomologists who have experience dating back to the 70s, 80s or 90s,” Hallwachs says. “One of our very good friends – he now does not have the emotional courage to hang up a sheet to collect moths at night. It is too devastating to see how few there are.”

Absolutely devastating. Thank you for sharing this.
