We lost another cartoon legend
Barry Caldwell, a veteran animator, director, and storyboard artist who helped shape countless iconic animated shows and films, has sadly passed away.
Thank you, legend. Rest in peace
Club culture will be a thing again if yall start hiring them TikTok DJs, bring back ladies free before 11, outlaw party promoters and make drinks under $20 again
I didn’t realize how bad it actually was until I looked at the research myself.
As someone who loves to walk, hike & run outdoors, I always thought my shoes were protecting me... but I never considered what I was tracking in.
Every time we step into a public bathroom, gym, sidewalk or grocery store, our shoes collect a toxic mix of:
Allergens
Asphalt + road residue
Carcinogens
Cigarette butt chemicals
Dirt & debris
Feces and urine
Lawn, garden chemicals
Herbicides and pesticides
Lead
Mold & mold spores
Microplastics
Ticks & other parasites & their eggs
viruses
And here’s the part that made me cringe...
Research from the University of Arizona found between 3,600 & 8 million bacteria units per shoe (the average was 421,000).
Over 90% of that transferred right onto clean floors. Some of the bacteria they found?
E. coli (causes UTIs & gut infections)
Klebsiella (linked to pneumonia)
Serratia (respiratory infections)
Even meningitis-causing strains
When we walk through our homes, those microbes don’t just stay on the floor, they get stirred into the air, on furniture, counters and end up on little hands, pets, & everything else.
So if you’ve got kids crawling, pets roaming or a barefoot home, this one small shift can make a big difference.
Leave your shoes by the door.
The easiest way to keep your home cleaner & your family healthier is to stop wearing shoes inside.
the POWER OF THE TONGUE is REAL. stop claiming you’re TIRED, BROKE, or DEPRESSED. start speaking GRATITUDE. start MANIFESTING GROWTH. start pouring LIFE into yourself
