We've made progress! Up from $250 two days ago.
$600/$5000 over 10% there ro get this Black single dads license administratively released
One of those $25 pledges of the 200 needed to get this done was Eb, who takes care of me in ways y'all never hear about because she knows my disability keeps me housebound. She gets me to and from the airport. That's my ride or die, just like paypal.me/ApolloMan $BlackGodSyrus or venmo @cejohnson077

BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports".. could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation".. means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned".
'.. means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting, Some of this is on you.

These are not used very often anymore, but there is certain scene where people are making those costumes and wearing them. And it's actually accepted to wear those instead of more formal costumes.

grease floats.
when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.
the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.
listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.
