Did you know that pet phamarcies can compound pet medicines into many forms, so if you buy them outside of your vet (which has a markup anyway, just get the prescription) you can get them to make tuna flavored treats that actually contain the life saving medicines your cat needs, or a chicken flavored liquid you can add to the food?
This has been such a game changer for me!
Keep seeing people comment that if they were billionaires, they’d be the good kind, who used their money to help society.
And I have to keep pointing out, you don’t get to be a billionaire if you’re a person who’d help society. You don’t accumulate the billion dollars: you used it helping society.

Tennessee Republicans Exposed Their Authoritarian Streak
These Republicans wanted payback. They wanted to bring these Black members to heel. They wanted to demonstrate the power of the proverbial whipping post: to publicly shame, signify dominance and try to force submission.

If you want to help trans people, and you work in tech: think about how your product handles names and genders. Can users change them? Is it a self-service? Do traces of the old name remain?
Then, fix it. Push back against resistance. Advocate for us.
It won't fix bigotry, or healthcare access, or w/e. But updating our details is a process full of hurdles that we have to go through at a really vulnerable point in our lives, and you can make a small improvement for a large number of us.
By the way: if you decide to feed local crows, PLEASE DON'T FEED THEM WHITE BREAD, especially during mating season.
Urban hatchlings are sometimes flightless and not long for this world due to bad nutrition.
Give them seeds, dog treats, nuts, fruit, and corpses of your enemies to feast upon.
Remember: crows are too metal for white bread.
