HE CAME HOME!😺 Left the garage ajar for a cat to slip into with cans of wet food outside + inside the garage, and the front/back doors. He appeared inside the garage, chilling on a box as if nothing happened. (What a jerk - last night we grieved + assumed he escaped to go die since he's 14)

Our indoor cat disappeared without a trace overnight (other cat is still here). Tore the house apart today looking for him in every nook + cranny. Walked around the neighborhood, asked neighbors, yelled his name, drove around. It's like he disappeared magically off the face of the earth.

Let’s be really clear about this lettuce situation: it’s not just the destruction of public health tracking, it’s also years and years of ending regulations that would have prevented conditions causing outbreaks in the first place, combined with climate change that makes them more likely to happen.

There’s poop on the lettuce. There’s worms in the beef. There’s glass in the bread. What kind of Upton Sinclair timeline is this

✨JUNETEENTH MUTUAL AID THREAD ✨ Here’s a thread with Black folks you can support in celebration of #Juneteenth. Do some good - even if you’re sending $3 to a Black person to treat themselves to a dessert or a coffee! Circulate & give to at least one person in the thread if you have the means 💜

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

It has nothing to do with you, babes. I'm sorry.

I just do want to say, please look at situations like this and realize your lay off has no reflection on how good you are at your job whatsoever. There is nothing you can do or could have done to ensure this doesn't happen to you except for work to change the industry.
