what if we kissed at the slow pitch apparatus
Thomas Parnell’s experiment demonstrates that pitch can flow despite appearing solid. Only nine drops have fallen since 1930, and the tenth could fall between late 2027 and early 2028, after years of formation inside apparatus.

any article talking about racist redistricting that mentions Petal should also contextualize it as the white flight town it is

Louisiana wanted to do this to their bayous, not all of which are located in the delta of the Mississippi River; the Mississippi Delta, part of the state of Mississippi located along the Mississippi River, did not almost import hippos
the United States once came perilously close to passing a bill to import hippos to the Missisippi Delta in order to farm them as domestic meat animals, which would have been among the dumbest ideas in history
Tell me a fun fact.

Evening folks:

These two cats still need someone wonderful to give them a home. If it's not you, it might be someone you know, so *please* spread the word.
ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST
(PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD)

My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

Sixty-two years ago today, the FBI uncovered the bodies of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman & Michael Schwerner in Neshoba County.

We honor their courage by refusing to take that freedom for granted & recognizing our responsibility to protect our right to vote & ensure every voice is heard.

This is super comforting to me.

Why yes, I can and will hold forth at great length on the efforts to get rid of the brown tree snake in Guam and how they stuffed dead baby mice full of Tylenol and shot them out of helicopters.

I did the work.

The work was weird. But I did it.
For writers worried that they won't be able to "prove" their work isn't Spicy Autocomplete--worry not. You thought about every choice and will be able to talk about those choices easily and clearly.

Folks who used the slop machine didn't make choices and won't have anything to say about why

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.
