Farmworkers are 35 times as likely to die from heat-related stress as workers in any other industry. As extreme heat worsens, providing electrolytes is a crucial step to keeping workers healthy. @ktoussaint.bsky.social has the full story ⬇️

Farmworkers across 22 states will get free access to electrolytes to combat dangerous heat stress

The Fair Food Program, whose buyers include major retailers like Walmart, McDonald's, and Trader Joe's, will now mandate electrolytes for workers.

Hey does anybody else deal with the thing where you get into a new hobby/interest and you meet people who are way way more intense about it than you ever really want to be and you start gatekeeping yourself?

Kidzbob pink pony club has the line “friends are in the bathroom and a line outside the door” and I’m not sure if the implication is that this kid’s friends are fucking or that they got food poisoning

I just bit into the grossest, blandest, mealiest peach and I’m so mad. It’s prime peach season!! Where are you even getting low-quality peaches??

It's Trilobite Tuesday! Trilobites, while commonly seen fossilized as single individuals, were highly social animals—gathering together to mate, molt, or feed. On occasion, fossils are unearthed featuring multiple trilobites on a single slab, like these ornate 1-in- (2.5-cm-) long Devonian lichids.

I hate how whenever I bring up my issues with sleepiness/fatigue, doctors assume I need help sleeping. I need zero help sleeping. I need lots of help waking up.

Trying to explain to people that my dad does not hate science, he’s actually quite interested in a lot of science, he just doesn’t believe in Pangea specifically.

Someone told me she’s starting a book club where she invites the authors to every meeting and I’m sorry that the worst idea I’ve ever heard. You could not pay me to go to that.

I love the difference between songxuexiao in a canon setting (grief, trauma, and betrayal) and songxuexiao in an au setting (we’ve acquired a horny raccoon)

Google Translate is wild. Checked it for my understanding of a simplified Chinese flyer for a dentist. The text read “dentist of fifteen years experience, good skills, low prices.” Good! The heading of the flyer read: GIVE TEETH Translated into English in all caps

Instead of writing I’m rereading my old fic and lamenting that it’s not as good as I want it to be (I will probably get better at writing if I do more writing)

Me writing MDZS fic: I’m gonna read four articles on the history of tablecloths to see if they would have used them in a canon setting MXTX: yeah they’re growing potatoes don’t worry about it

I saw a license plate one time that said ER DOC and instead of immediately going to “emergency room doctor” I went “oh, his older brother is a doctor, too”

I love the Magnus archives. Why are they spending all their time recording dramatic readings of every archived statement? Why is this a job for the guy in charge and not an unpaid intern? Doesn’t matter. There’s a lady made of bugs.
