A cargo ship packed with electric cars ablaze off the Dutch coast has been towed to a new temporary position, authorities said Monday, racing to prevent an ecological disaster.

.@adamzagoria: "For all the similarities between Williams and Gauff, and all the hope and hype about Gauff’s future, comparing the two right now is both premature and unfairly simplistic." https://t.co/xCMFqKxbFT
Wow. State senator Machaela Cavanaugh (D-NE) says she will hold up the entire legislature until Republicans pull their bill attacking LGBT students.

🦋Do Animals Have Souls?
by Stacy Mantle
Animals do have emotions and they also have souls, and I'll tell you how I know that. In over twenty years of working with animals, I have never seen a kitten duct-tape a live human baby to a freeway. I also have never seen a cat find enjoyment from setting a human on fire. I've never gone hiking in the desert to find a child that dogs have left tied to a stake, without food and water, subjecting it to a painful death in the desert heat. I have never seen a chicken force two unwilling humans to fight in a ring with razor blades attached to their feet while the chickens place bets on who will be the first to die. I haven't seen a puppy place eight children in a gunnysack and drown them in a river. Neither have I seen an eagle aim a shotgun at an unarmed human. I have yet to see a bear kill a human simply to place a head on the wall of their cave. And to this day, I have not seen a pigeon drive a car down the road and aim for humans who were walking around the park.
Let me tell you what I have seen. I have seen my own cats sleep next to me so they may keep me a little warmer while I was ill. I've seen my dogs play games with me just to force a smile to my face. I have seen a cat rush into a burning home not once, not twice, but six times to save her kittens, nearly losing her own life in the process. I have seen a ferret pull a frightened kitten out of a deep hole in the ground. I have seen a coyote fetch another dog so that it may get the proper medical care that it needs. I've seen a dog, who loves to jump on people, avoid jumping on me when I injured my back. I've seen elephants cry. I've seen monkeys scream in empathy when one of their own were injured. I've seen puppies whine all night long when they were separated from their mothers. I've seen a dog pull a child away from a fire.
These are only a few of the things that I've seen. To list them all would take a lifetime, and I think you get my point. As for the soul thing? Well, it is my humble opinion that if you have emotions, any kind of emotions, then you have a soul.
Now, I can't prove that animals have souls. But then, I can't prove that you or I have one either. And for all those people who firmly believe that animals don't have souls - well, I suppose if there really is a heaven, you'll probably have the job of cleaning out all the litter boxes.
🦋I was talking with a coworker the other day and she informed me that animals do not have souls or emotions only act on instinct.
She adamantly believes that animals do not have souls and therefore will never enjoy heaven.
👉🏻 Now just lay on the floor in front of your dog and look deep into their eyes. Then we can discuss this.
In the Book of Job, it says, "In whose hand is the soul of every living thing".
Be a kind human.
Hugz, ❤️ and 🙏 to all #TSandlot

Canadian and U.S. scientists have teamed up on a possible climate change fighting experiment to see if they can enhance the ocean’s natural ability to pull carbon from the atmosphere. @CTVNewsYvonne
