More broadly, I think desexualizing bras and deeroticizing them so they can be approached from the more value-neutral perspective of apparel does a lot towards reducing the stigma that is still present in how we talk about lingerie and the bodies of the people who wear it.

When a job asks you to paste a terminal command, it's not a test—it's a trap. Stay vigilant and trust your instincts; your safety is worth more than any opportunity. https://t.co/40xMwcPPyF #keepgoing
The dryer lint advice you see all over Pinterest is actively bad for birds.
It sounds nice, save the lint, leave it in the yard, watch the birds use it for nests.
But Audubon, US Fish & Wildlife, the Cornell Lab, and most wildlife rehabbers all advise against it now, and the reasons add up fast.
Lint loses its structure when it gets wet. A nest lined with dryer lint holds up fine in dry weather, but the first heavy rain collapses the whole nest.
Eggs and chicks fall through the nest and likely don't survive.
Lint also carries with it the chemical signature of your laundry. Detergent residue, fabric softener, dryer sheet compounds, fragrance oils, and dye all end up concentrated in the fibers you're pulling out of the trap.
Even "free and clear" detergents leave trace chemicals that are fine on adult human skin but rough on a 4-gram baby bird.
Lint is mostly microplastic. Most modern clothing is polyester, nylon, acrylic, or some blend. The lint trap collects shredded synthetic fibers. Lining a nest with that is lining a nest with plastic.
Sadly, this folksy bird advice from a decade ago hasn't aged well. The new advice is closer to: provide nothing artificial, and let the natural materials in your yard do the work.

Carol & Hubert are a 10-month-old brother and sister pair who would love to be adopted together. They're both so sweet and fun! Now that they're big kittens, nobody wants them.
Can you share to help them find a family by their 1st birthday? 🩷

Tunie has been one expensive street himbo and while he is very worth it, we could really use some help with his vet bills. The surgery today is pricey and he would really appreciate if you could pitch in $5 to help us out ❤️🩹 link in our bio! Will update everyone later :)
Step outside wherever you are. Pick a direction. Go until you find something you can do to help someone. Do that.
It sounds like pandering but when society shreds, the only medicine is mending it. And that takes thinking about how you help move the needle, not just the board.

This is a desperate plea for Bertie, a sweet ~13 y/o cat who has not had it easy. He is a very sweet boy but is not doing well in a kennel and needs out of here. He needs an adopter ASAP. He prefers to be the only pet in the home.

The Garment Worker Center advocates for garment workers across the United States and especially those in Los Angeles. They do great work and recently launched a merch shop, where you can get pro-labor t-shirts, totes, and stickers, while also supporting garment workers. 👇
another very helpful way to donate: you can send us a Chewy gift card! we use Chewy for litter, medications, prescription food, flea and worm treatments, etc.
Thank you so much for any way you choose to help out the janks! 🥹🩷

I have a lot of respect for Haley because she never gives up on the toughest cases. So I'm bummed to learn that no one has stepped up to adopt the cats already in her care. Without adoptions, she can't take more cats.
If you're in the Bay Area, would you consider adopting? 🧵
