By now
you have probably seen the news
about how bird flu
has “wiped out
nearly half of the females
in the world’s largest
elephant seal population,”
which is a tragic reminder
that we are in an era of plagues,
and that “we”
does not only refer to humans.

Look out for this CBC headline about an asylum-seeker in Canada who abused the immigration system. The headline isn't real: www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...

The fictional article claimed the asylum-seeker would fly home, buy himself a new identity and live on benefits until they ran out.

Little Stormzy had his first trip out into the "real world".
Testing him out to see if he'll be OK for adoptions.
Look at him go! I think the early answer is a yes!

Does Jeffries believe if Republicans extend the ACA tax credits that they’ve made life better for Americans and deserve to stay in office? LoL
Bc we’re tossing them out regardless. Whether he likes it or not.

Jeffries: This is only going to end in one of two ways. Either Republicans are going to agree to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits before December 31st of this year, or the American people are going to throw Republicans out of office because of their failure to make life better.

Anyone able to tell me a way, or where to go, to save this photo? It's my daughter on her 2nd birthday, and my absolute favorite picture of her (she's 33 now). I've been trying and asking for help all these years. 😢💔
