People are always like “but they do charity too”. Ok so do groups that don’t make you sit on a working dryer so they can circle the parts of your body that jiggle

Girl Scouts a profile pic of a bb goth in a Girl Scout vestgirlscouts What happens when a pet owner doesn't have the information they need to properly care for a reptile?
Gold Award Girl Scout Sicilia saw how a lack of education could impact reptiles and local ecosystems, so she took action. For her #gsGoldAward project, she created educational videos focused on proper bearded dragon care and shared what she learned with younger Girl Scouts through presentations on responsible pet ownership.
By making reliable care information more accessible, Sicilia created a resource that can continue helping reptile owners make informed choices long after her project. *t

Amid a media firestorm around since-deleted tweets that were critical of police, Portland City Councilor Mitch Green has seen a fundraising boom. The spike in donations combined with community responses supporting Green may signify a continuing rift between PPB and Portlanders.

obviously it was the cops who shot the dog, they wouldn't have had that kind of response if the suspect had. but secondly, why can't the news get it through their heads that montavilla ends at 205? this shooting took place in hazelwood

huh that's weird
A few weeks ago, a purported student at Alpha School - the teacherless AI-powered private academy led by software developer Joe Liemandt - posted to X, "Today [at Alpha School] they hooked me up to a heart rate monitor, put my live pulse on a big screen, and played a pre-recorded video of my parents giving critical feedback in front of the entire class. The challenge was simple: my resting heart rate was 80 bpm, and I had to stay within 10% of that the whole time. Anything above 88 was a fail."Psychological study
In his second year at Harvard, Kaczynski participated in a study led by Harvard psychologist Henry Murray. Subjects were told they would debate personal philosophy with a fellow student and were asked to write essays detailing their personal beliefs and aspirations.
The essays were given to an anonymous individual who would confront and belittle the subject in what Murray himself called
"vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive" attacks, using the content of the essays as ammunition.(25] Kaczynski spent 200 hours as part of the study.!261[27]

TIL about the Polybius urban legend. Portland friends, have you heard of this? The myth is that a mysterious game appeared in Portland arcades. It disoriented users or gave them seizures. Men in suits would periodically check the game cabinets. And then it disappeared. I love Portland lore.

i swear i can't make it through a bedtime story without crying for one reason or another. tonight we're reading Moonshot: the Flight of Apollo 11 which is a non-fiction book so you'd think i'd be fine but it is making me weep with thankfulness for human ingenuity and bravery! like a BABY

is it normal for a powell's cross-town pick-up order burnside->hawthorne to still be "preparing" even tho i placed it early last friday? i don't mind, i don't need it in a hurry, just wondering if they lost my book. maybe the online fulfillment people don't work weekends?

What I am proposing as a model of understanding the US electorate is that most people aren't really very closely paying attention to what exactly is happening and as long as their lives aren't materially improving, will just keep flipping the switch hoping for a different result.

going to the beach to pick mushrooms soon and if we get a shitload of them i could be tempted to let them go to bluesky people for the same wholesale price i give the market, so way under what the market charges. likely chanterelles and lobsters maybe boletes

the average lifespan of outdoor cats is 3 to 5 years. indoor cats regularly live to 10, if not 20 years. imagine personally shaving off 3/4 of your cat's life because you're too stubborn and lazy to take proper care of an animal you're responsible for
