@AskPayPal Hi, I’m locked out of my account because 2FA codes are going to an old phone number. I can’t log in, use chat, or call from Portugal. Could you help?

@AskPayPal Hi, I’m locked out of my PayPal account. The login code is being sent to an old phone number I no longer have access to. I also can’t access chat or call support from Portugal. Can you help me reset 2FA or update my phone number? [email protected] is my login

Our research was picked up by The Guardian, alongside work from two of my favorite scientists, John Blake and @BetteLoiselle. We hope these findings contribute to solutions that help ensure the persistence of these incredible birds into the 22nd century. https://t.co/HZYk3AUhQf

Does anyone know a legit website to donate to offset carbon emissions? I know its imperfect but feels much better than nothing. For example an NGO that does reforestation in Tropical Rainforest...

@damiengayle Congrats on the cocoa article in the @guardiannews . But who did the study? There's no way to track down the article because it is not linked and neither the authors nor the journal are provided. Show a little love for the science!
