If they can practice active shooter drills and learn how to tourniquet their classmates, they’re entitled to an opinion on how they’re treated.

They should be asking the question of why one has to SPLURGE on gut-healthy juices instead of being able to afford more than the presumably gut-unhealthy juices out there.
If you simply disenthrall yourself from your financially crippling addiction to fairly basic food and beverages you too can one day own a house.
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.

Arrow worms (Chaetognatha) are predators of the plankton! They use the powerful spines around the jaw to capture their prey, and we have a rare view of an arrow worm using those jaws to try and eat a hydroid! Second part of video is timelapse

Two weevils, one leaf. Nature writes its future in yellow dust.
Fun fact: Weevils wear tiny scales, not smooth armor. Those dusty colors help them vanish against leaves, bark, and sunlight.
