no; you move۰

Specify in the tags please what species or breed of animal you would choose as a witches familiar if the most obvious were off the table

Let's have fun with this

For example for me it would be a great white shark

im a disabled transgender male, currently about to go homeless and not able to work because of arthritis and nerve damage. I need money for food and my phone bill, and to be able to contribute some rent to the people who are currently housing me. if you can donate or share i'll be sooo grateful.

Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.

That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.

And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.

Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.

Yes, teachers can solve many problems, but we can’t solve ALL of them. My heart broke for Janine when that mom tore her to shreds. It’s unfortunately an experience that all teachers face - nasty grams from parents. But I’m glad that was shown. I’m glad the student’s behavior was shown because that’s common nowadays. I’ve taught in suburban, urban, and rural districts from lower to upper middle class and every year, without fail, I get at least one student that comes in acting that way. This is our new normal. I wish it wasn’t that way, but when parents refuse to accept their children are problematic - the kid’s behavior will go unchecked. I hate that for Janine and that she can’t solve this problem, but it’s realistic. We can’t fix everything and Barbara’s advice was so good. Just because we can’t fix it doesn’t mean we don’t try.

Teaching isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It takes grit and determination to get up and go to work each day when you’ve got a particularly challenging year. And I love that this episode highlighted that.

Sheep living among rows of solar panels spend more time grazing, benefit from more nutritious food, rest more and appear to experience less heat stress, compared with nearby sheep in empty fields.

Earlier research suggested that agrivoltaic farms – which combine grazing animals with solar panels – offer more efficient renewable energy at lower overhead costs, as well as reducing wildfire risks. The latest findings show that the practice is also good for animal welfare, providing further evidence for a win-win situation, says Emma Kampherbeek, who carried out the work while at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

As for pasture quality, the nitrogen content was higher and carbon content lower in the solar panel fields, suggesting that the vegetation in this pasture – which was greener – was more nutritious and more easily digestible. That might be due to the reduced exposure to intense solar rays and to dew dripping off the panels, providing much-needed moisture, she says.

The results are likely to be even more pronounced in warmer seasons, she adds. Additional research is under way to analyse the data taken from temperature recordings during her study.

Sheep make good candidates for agrivoltaics because they are efficient foragers, keeping weeds off solar panels, and are small enough to pass under the panels, says Kampherbeek. And, unlike goats, they don’t chew the electrical wires.

Neurodivergencies like autism, ADHD, and OCD have a genetic component and can be passed down through generations.

Neurodivergent people have never been treated well, so when we find something enjoyable, with people who appreciate us and are willing to work with us, we stick to it fiercely.

There’s a lot of family businesses–farms are a good example–that are kept alive through passion and intense interest. These businesses tend to be very traditional or structured, and remain mostly in one place.
