Cleaner shrimp are a really funny concept to me, Theres just these little guys in the ocean who will boogey down to signal to fish that they'll clean the dead skin and parasites off of them and the fish just understand this and let them do it.

"I chose a crass serial rapist and adulterer, who calls women 'nasty' and 'piggy,' and took away by daughters' reproductive rights, over my daughters. So why are they displeased with me??? It must be all THEIR fault! I take no responsibility. NONE!"

On December 2, 1938, the first Kindertransport train reached Britain, bringing nearly 200 Jewish children to safety. Their survival shows how crucial individual actions were during a dark time. Despite the regime's power, ordinary people made a difference by choosing compassion over fear.

Amazon, please stop asking me if books I bought month ago met my expectations. I still have unread books I bought in 2012. Be real.

Watching @alivitali.bsky.social and I’m begging folks to stop yielding to the idea that there are potential war crimes when there is no war— Congress hasn’t authorized military action. The DoD is simply ordering the execution of civilians in peace time. Crime against humanity is more apt.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
