Top-loading vs front-loading? Forget it. In order to increase my laundry velocity, I am installing a breech-loading washing machine.

Please share: 1.97 million Palestinians in acute hunger, over 90% of buildings gone: the slow genocide, and one we can fight.

The deal may say “aid trucks,” but they haven’t entered, and food will STILL cost money. Our attention + boldness still matter ‼️

Incredible 🩵 “Toronto’s multibillion-dollar effort to re-naturalize a major river and the surrounding lands, was advertised as one of the “largest waterfront revitalization projects” in the world. … the discoveries have underscored the resilience of ecosystems in the face of human-led destruction.”

Daily bunny no.3103 wants to show off their collection

A bunny with thick glasses shows another bunny their room, which is full of colorful mushrooms being cultivated both around the room and in a drawer. The other bunny looks mildly grossed out. There is also a poster showing different mushroom species on the wall

Ieyasu-kun, the mascot of Hamamatsu City, is modelled on Tokugawa Ieyasu, a shogun who once lived there. He has piano keys on his hakama skirt (Hamamatsu is home to keyboard manufacturers Yamaha, Kawai, and Roland).

A round-headed mascot with a helmet and a hakama with piano keys decorating it stands on a stage.

Please refocus. Support stopped for these six families' survival and based on what happened in January, that trend will continue. One family has been waiting almost two weeks when normally we send out once a week. For food—to survive.
