I'm still struggling to find reliable work of any kind that doesn't put Cell at risk, being left alone with their health conditions. I don't have much to qualify me, or marketable skills, and online work is a mire of oversaturation and shady adverts... It's been hard to put back any sort of savings to any end, between medical needs, bills, and the cost of groceries anymore.

But it's been over three years now that half of our belongings are out of reach and out of state, and we don't know how long we'll be able to stay in this house from here. We need our things back so we can figure out what will go and what will be left behind if we have to move. There are family heirlooms in this storage unit, things that belonged to Cell's deceased parents, that we desperately want back. We have family that may be able to help with the actual retrieval part, but they can't afford to fund the entire venture.

We need help, and I don't know what else to do. I know everyone is struggling these days. Fresh eyes would mean the world, if nothing else...

All of my friends that work at wildlife rehab centers have had to untangle animals from this stuff, or had animals brought in that died in it. This is especially nasty for small owl species.

Why would you put fake spiderwebs outside your home anyways? Do what my family does and use them as indoor decorations, it's easier to clean up that way and it makes the living room look cool.

Good to know for us animal lovers, if you’re going to use them please keep it to decir inside the house, not out!

The classic Halloween decor can be a silent threat to furry friends if displayed unsafely.

"As autumn advances, leaves begin to fall from trees and a chill runs through the air, making it increasingly clear the spooky season is upon us. But as people decorate for Halloween, they may be setting up a trick rather than a treat for surrounding critters: That fake spider webbing commonly seen across the country every October is just as effective at trapping critters as a real web is.

Kathryn Dudeck, the wildlife director at Georgia's Chattahoochee Nature Center, told Snopes via phone that fake spider webbing, normally made out of a synthetic, fiber-like polyester, is similar to tightly woven fiberglass.

"The webbing actually adheres to the skin of a toad," she said. "For raptors and songbirds, it sticks to their feathers and then settles in between them, almost like velcro." ...

Dudeck said that animals most at risk with fake cobwebs are small birds, including hummingbirds and small owls, bats and reptiles, like toads...

The danger of fake webs doesn’t immediately go away after Halloween, either. A 2019 article from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation explains that if not properly disposed of, birds might use the material to build their nests. In a worst-case scenario, the webbing could catch and trap any chicks in the nest. The solution to all of this is fairly easy: stop using fake webs outside.

Instead, consider moving the webbing indoors, perhaps behind a window so it’s still visible. If you are set on creating a web outdoors, Dudeck recommended making one out of rope and ensuring you've left ample space between strands to mitigate the risk to wildlife."

#This is real and these people deserve help.

So Tumblr is going up in flames right now in very big ways behind the scenes.

Blogs are being mass banned with zero reason given or appeal.

And their staff has been slashed to almost nothing.

So if you're ready to finally jump ship, here is a document with a ton of keys for @pillowfort-social . There is absolutely zero obligation to donate to us for making this, please just be safe.
