I often find myself withdrawing from my friends and feeling like I have nothing to offer them but then I actually hang out with them and have a blast and I'm like oh yeah forgot I have the Everyone Hates Me and Wants Me To Die ™️ disorder

He got it from his mama.

Bear 89, aka Backpack, is the 2026 Fat Bear Week champ. Turns out hefty runs in the family.

His mom, Holly the Duchess of Density, won in 2019. She carried him on her back as a cub and helped him survive a serious leg injury. Now her little Backpack has a crown of his own. 👑

Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.

I hate being autistic in the way I am constantly overwhelmed and a bit scared cause everyone reads that as angry so I just deal with people labeling me as angry my whole life which in turn makes me kind of angry

I love when life starts rhyming. Things like the same lesson appearing through different people. A conversation answering a question you never said aloud. A book finding you at the exact right moment. I notice the poetry of life.

If an ingredient list says carmine, cochineal extract, or Natural Red 4, that's an insect. A scale insect farmed on cactus, mostly in Peru, dried and crushed. It takes around 70,000 of them to make a pound of dye. It's in strawberry yogurt, pink candy, juice, some cheese spreads, and most red lipstick.

Until 2011 the label didn't have to say much. Carmine could be listed as artificial color or just color added. FDA changed it after reports of severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, and now the name has to be printed. The part I find interesting is what FDA left out. The petition asked that labels also state the color comes from insects. The dairy industry objected, saying there was no need, and FDA agreed. So the rule is that the word carmine has to appear, and nothing has to tell you what carmine is.
