Omg this actually works!!! Thank you 10 of Pentacles!!!

I could seriously use this money right now….

Please give me my refund of 400$ soon…

I feel obligated to reblog this every time it shows up in my dash

No bragging, just 100% floored and grateful. Work hard, maintain a positive attitude, and believe that anything can happen.

So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.

This is Snopes-confirmed. Also be aware this is very common in sugar free food of many kinds. The retriever puppy who I know of who died of xylitol poisoning got hold of a pack of sugar-free gum.

Always good to remind folks - if it has xylitol, KEEP IT AWAY FROM DOGS! It induces profound hypoglycemia and liver failure and is life-threatening :(

Xylitol is also the typical ingredient in sugar free candies and some baked goods. Other names, if you’re checking labels:

What other names is Xylitol known by? Birch Sugar, E967, Meso-Xylitol, Méso-Xylitol, Sucre de Bouleau, Xilitol, Xylit, Xylite, Xylo-pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol.

Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play a significant role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer viable. While some individuals could produce, the limited number of koalas makes the long-term viability of the species unlikely and highly susceptible to disease.

I mean.

I knew that Australia was on fire, but I didn’t take the next step in logic to realize that the species that lived in some of the trees of the continental brushfire would take such a severe hit from it.

At least some polar bears have wandered south and crossed with grizzlies as an alternative to starving and drowning in the increasingly iceless Arctic. Koalas have no such luck. Their survival needs are too specific. They’re done for.

7,000 notes later, consider a counterpoint:

A number of recent headlines suggest the bushfires destroyed up to 80% of the koala’s habitat, rendering the species “functionally extinct.” This has elicited a visceral response online, with articles shared far and wide across social media. And that makes sense: The koala is a beloved species inherently tied to the Australian identity, and its decline speaks directly to failures in combating climate change. The species is an innocent bystander quite literally in the line of fire because of human inaction.
But the (somewhat) good news is that they actually aren’t “functionally extinct” and that the bushfires didn’t push them to the brink. The idea the species was in danger was broached long before bushfires began to slither across the country.

[…]

There’s no doubt koalas are in danger of disappearing for good. Population numbers have declined dramatically in the last century. The recent spate of bushfires play a role this decrease, but the bigger story is much more grim. Hunting, during the 1920s, killed hundreds of thousands of koalas. Urbanization has cut populations off from one another, lowering their genetic diversity and making them more prone to diseases like chlamydia. Habitat clearing has removed their food source.
However, headlines shouting that the koala is “functionally extinct ‘after’ the bushfires” are potentially damaging. Exaggerated claims of the koalas decline can be debunked with a cursory Google search, undermining the trust in scientific institutions and science reporting.
In addition, the AKF has made it clear that its definition of “functionally extinct” means the species is “beyond the point of recovery” and suggests the koala is doomed. For some, that may be a call to arms. For others, it could be a sign that we tried but now we might as well give up. Social media is already grieving the dead. It also undermines the work of conservation biologists trying to save the species.

So, um, whoops.

The news I linked yesterday had a time stamp of yesterday, so of course I assumed the initial warning was contemporaneous and a consequence of the recent bushfires. Doesn’t seem to be the case.

The charismatic fauna is in dire trouble, but not from that specifically, and as mentioned, grieving halts work.

I’ll be more careful in the future.

4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)

That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving

8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.

Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time

girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.

guys pls pls pls reblog and girls pls pls pls be safe out there. terrifying and so sad that we have to worry about this on a daily basis

9.  When you enter a room, take a second to observe where all the exits are.  This work for everyone, not just women, in the case of a fire or other catastrophe.

10.  Sit in a corner near the exit where you can see who is approaching you and who exits/enters the room.

11. Learn to get comfortable holding your drinks by the rim, with your hand over the top of it. Cut the people who notice and say something disparaging about it out of your life, and keep the people who notice but do not say anything unkind or incredulous on thin fucking ice, they were looking at your drink and noted it was inaccessible either way.

12. Claw and scratch at the person’s face, gouge out their eyes, do as much damage as you possibly can, bite them and don’t spit or swallow anything that gets in your mouth when you do. Accumulate as much DNA evidence as possible while doing as much damage as possible so that if they have to go to the hospital, there’s a chance they might get caught.

I don’t have food stamps but I need to know how to eat well for $4/day. Thank you for this.

HOLY SHIT 

This cookbook is really amazing. I’ve used a couple of the recipes and they are so easy to follow. And in the beginning there are a bunch of really great tips for saving on food stuff.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action. 

Important

Fuck.

If you scrolled right past this - GO THE FUCK BACK UP - this is a huge PSA

People at HoAnns believe this garbage that we can’t talk about or wages, but that was how we found out about a gap in management wages, and a gap between people who were hired under the old SM and the new SM.

Seriously guys, try salary.com. I just checked it myself, and now I’m actually pretty pissed

I really cannot get over this cats fucking face it’s so round and conveying an emotion that I simply am not equipped to understand

I WAS AT THIS MEETING, I MET THIS CAT. I forget his name but he was soooo sweet, I think it was Councilman Clark who brought him in! This was at the very first meeting in Denver to decide whether to ban declawing (the ban succeeded!)

Update: I emailed this post to councilman Clark, subject line “your kitty is famous”

Update 2: Councilman Clark responded, he thinks this is awesome and his cat’s name is Kit Kat

Thank you Kit Kat for protecting the cats of Denver!

I think the emotion on Kit Kat’s face is democratic engagement.

It’s Juneteenth and Pride Month

So it’d be much appreciated in the form of reparations if yall could help out a mentally ill queer black nb person move out of their abusive, hyper Christian home. I’ve just put down a ton of money for my security deposit, so any cash sent my way would be amazing for start up costs like furniture, appliances, moving trucks, etc since this is my first time living in my own place.

Boston literally is considering straight pride.

Why LGBT people need pride:

Here’s why straight people need pride :

  1. They don’t
  2. They don’t
  3. They really don’t

The only reason straight pride exists is for homophobia and hatred

Here’s a quote from a member of Sao Paulo’s straight pride march : “not anti-gay, but a protest against the privileges the gay community enjoys.”

“PRIVILEGES”

Straight pride divides us further and is not necessary, especially in 2019!
