I saw a list of DEI-friendly businesses pop up a few days ago and now I can’t seem to find it (the complete list, not just food). Can anyone help me out? Lots of online orders due to remote living, but trying to fill the gaps left by Amazon and Target. And yes I’m already all over Costco!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for part-time, flexible, remote work.

I type 65wpm, work hard, learn quickly.

From our friends at Stop Clearcutting CA: 📢1 minute of your time can help stop Congress from passing the Fix Our Forest Act which actively promotes "vegetation management activities" meaning LOGGING in federal forests without public review.

Tell your U.S. representative: This bill won't fix our forests
Despite its name, the "Fix Our Forest" Act will do no such thing. This bill will open the floodgates for unwarranted logging and roll back protections for endangered species.

Podcasters, where are you hosting your podcasts? Who is compensating creators for their work? Listeners, where are you listening to your podcasts & why? I am creating a showcase for short stories and I want a place where it will actually be heard and where I will be compensated rather than charged.

Rewilding doesn't mean "reforesting 'everything'", but letting natural ecosystems *of all types* return.
Sheep produce almost zero food calories when you factor in feedstuffs, but prevent *huge* areas from returning to a natural state.

Beekeeping does not "save nature". In many cases it does the exact opposite.
Honeybees are not endangered. They are basically life stock. *Wild bees" need protection. Try to compete with 50.000 huge honeybees on a flower field when you are 2mm in size & single mom of 7 larvae who need the food.
