A zygote is the result of a sperm joining an egg.

‘Zygote’ comes from the Greek word for ‘yoke.’

A ‘yoke’ is a wooden beam that JOINS two animals together.

The ‘yolk’ of an egg is from the Old English word for “yellow.”

‘Yoke’ and ‘yolk’ have no relation to each other.

Had the radio on while driving earlier, the host named a #JustinBeiber song and started playing it

10 seconds pass, it sounded nice but it wasn’t Beiber’s voice

The song ends, still nope

I was very confused:

It was CLEARLY a woman’s voice!?

…and that was me listening to “YUKON” for the 1st time

49 POINTS. 9 TRIPLES. 🤯

Stephen Curry records his second-straight 40-point game for the 1st time since November 2022!

He is now 1 of 2 players in NBA history to record back-to-back games of 45+ points after turning 35 years old!

The other? Michael Jordan.

On Nov 17 at 9AM the city of Toronto will raise the Palestinian flag. The city often raises flags to respect the multicultural nature of the city.
It is non-partisan.
Don't let the Israeli lobby intimidate people in Toronto.
Show up and say no to genocide.

This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

Zohran Mamdani represents something much bigger than one mayoral race.

He had demonstrated the electability of a kind of politics that is unashamedly progressive, rooted in the needs of the working class, and that is terrifying to the wealth-hoarding billionaires.

That is great news:

When fossil fuels such as the coal in this bag are burned, small particles called fly ash are released into the air. Crawford Lake’s sediments capture a dramatic increase in fly ash in the 1950s, coinciding with rapid industrialization locally and globally.

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.

It's resegregation in real time.
today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
