Hildegard has no time for weasels. She claims she deplores them for the sake of her ancient cockatrice ancestry. #Boktober Hen and Weasel. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, 95 × 64 mm.
Drawing mostly in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen with feathers puffed and hackles raised, facing a least weasel standing on a fallen branch in the grass. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

In Greenwich Village, there used to be “sand hills, sometimes rising to a height of 100 feet, while to the south was a marsh tenanted by wild fowl and crossed by a brook flowing from the north.” More deep history of NYC in Charles Hemstreet’s 1899 book: publicdomainreview.org/collection/n...

People really need to fucking re-learn the difference between "I don't like this" and "This is harmful". Not liking a thing is fine, but you don't get to dictate what others enjoy, actually. Especially not within fiction. Be an adult. If you don't like something, move on.

There are tens or hundreds of thousands of Portlanders who have an inherent skepticism of video footage of an agency involved in an incident that involved a community member losing their life, curated by and narrated by the same agency. To you, I say: You are not wrong to have this skepticism.

So this has been known for awhile. It because we deplete the soil. This is also why a multivitamin, despite the debates on it, should be part of your routine. And if you're someone with a period, you should include iron. Your GP can and should also run blood tests to check.
