It's so, SO important to share success stories like this. I know an actual JPL engineer who doesn't believe in climate change because, "you never hear about acid rain anymore."

He thinks climate change can be lumped in with acid rain and the ozone layer of "things that were overblown and not really important because no one talks about it anymore."

It didn't even occur to him that we actively fixed the problem. Here's the EPA page on acid rainfall.

From the page:

It's also important to talk about success stories tonfuel hope that we can overcome current and future conservation and environmental issues.

CONSERVATION WORKS

Emergency: please help!!!

Tuesday, November 12th: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman in desperate need of help, as I'm struggling to keep my internet/phone on which will be turned off on Friday (15th) at the earliest if I can't pay it in time!!

I apologize for asking for help again; as most of you know from my previous posts, I have been struggling quite a lot to make ends meet while on welfare benefits and due to my rent arrears and ever-increasing debt. And to be quite honest, these past few months have been absolute hell for me, and with no other income, I've been relying on the kindness of others to get by.

However, I desperately need that kindness again because, due to my ever-increasing debt, I haven't been able to clear my balance for my internet service for a few months. I've only been able to pay the minimum to keep things on, but now they're demanding a full payment, or they'll cut my services, which I desperately need to keep on to stay in contact with my disability advisers. I will not receive my welfare until the 30th, and I could really use some help.

I know this is a lot to ask, but if anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much.

£29.77/£176!!!

Reports are coming out that Harris is leading in Iowa.

So what does this mean for Iowa voters?

Iowa was red in 2020 and has historically been red. As someone who lives in AZ, a red state that is now a swing state, it is entirely possible to flip a state or at least make the Republican Party sweat. So if you are in Iowa and were considering not voting because “your vote won’t count in a red state anyways”, please get out and vote.

Obviously polls can be inaccurate, but how great would it be if we could flip a state that republicans considered an easy victory?

Iowa also allows same day in person registration!!! So if you are over 18 and a U.S. citizen who resides in Iowa it is not too late! Click here for info on voting in Iowa: https://voterready.iowa.gov/registertovote/

WAIT HOW THE FUCK DID THAT TRANSFORM SCENE GO WHAT

[thedragonemperess]

HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY WALKING

[roguemortal]

Pepper's Ghost Effect: the Beast seen in tge transformation is actually hidden and viewers are looking at a piece of glass with his reflection on it. When the super bright lights on Beast dim, the image fades to reveal his human form behind the glass.

Walking: all the support mechanudms are hidden under Belle's dress and she's carrying the prince around by his hand so his legs are free to dangle snd move and dance.

All still super impressive, the faces really get me too because there's no trick to make them so expressive other than engineering and craftsmaship and they even did it well on the horse
