It's a great place for the "ugh what do I do with this" kind of donation you might offer a friend. Cat decided they suddenly don't like a brand/bought too much puppy food stuff. No opened wet food (duh?). Put opened dry food in a sealable container.

I wrote about how outrageous the treatment of Dr. Roberts and the community has been, no matter what the facts turn out to be.
New post by Jenny Turner:
It might be prudent to wait for all the facts before writing an opinion piece on ICE detaining Dr. Ian Roberts. It is true that there is a lot we don’t know. Which leads me to the central question: why don’t we know?

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

I had a corneal transplant as a teenager for a rare eye disease. It was a novel treatment then-I would have otherwise become blind. Now they have new contact lens that make another transplant likely unneeded. US health research is amazing--and RFK/Trump are killing it.
TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...
Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery
Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

Now that Howzy is healed up I can show you just how bad his hand got mangled (predator likely) in June. I wasn't sure he'd survive, but he figured out how to eat with 1 paw and move around on 3 as his body's healing powers did their magic. He lost 1 finger but is otherwise back to normal. Tough kid!

We're sending out cancellation of FLAS (Foreign Language & Area Studies) fellowships to dozens of students today, bc Trump has illegally refused to disburse year 4 of our DoE grants. Congrats to everyone in the GOP who is laser-focused on 🇺🇸 national security & the threat of rising 🇨🇳 to 🇺🇸 hegemony.
Yes, we’re literally about to zero out funding for every Title VI area studies center at every university in the country, along with FLAS fellowship funding. A generation of human capital that feeds into our diplomatic & intelligence corps that will simply not exist. National security madness.
Another angle to this. They've defunded the university language programs their diplomatic corps come from or go to to upskill. They can't even build back this expertise in the future even if they want to.

Brady was proud to help organize survivors of gun violence around the launch of the ATF memorial. The stories and voices of victims & survivors are the backbone of our work.
This is a heartless and abhorrent move by this Administration, and one that brings great pain to the families of victims.

“Now, for all I know, his photo is sitting at the bottom of a trash can. The ATF used to be an agency dedicated to fighting for people. Now, it’s crystal clear that its mandate has become fighting on behalf of gun industry profits.”
