Heads up pet keepers: zebra mussels have been spotted in Petco Betta Buddy brand moss balls.

If you don't know what zebra mussels are, they're an invasive aquatic species that reproduces incredibly quickly, to the point where it can damage power plant equipment and pipes, and also is a major threat to native mussels as it rapidly outcompetes them. They are a scourge on lakes across the midwest and spread easily on boats or other watercraft thats been exposed to them.

Finding one in a chain pet store item is BAD NEWS. These items are sold across the entire country and this has the potential to be a major spreader event. If you spot a zebra mussel on marimo or on any other aquarium plant please make a report to the relevant wildlife officials so they can be controlled. Do not dispose of any aquarium animal or plant in a waterway.

If we are vigilant, we can help keep our native mussels safe.

Does anyone want a TG gen 1 with a LOOOT of lore? As in a ton.

She has so much lore! And I wrote it all! AND I STILL FORGOT I HAD HER

So like. Uh. Why keep her if I can’t even remember her?

She has ties to Amberspire which you are free to keep or discard. Heck, you can get rid of all the lore if you want, idc, truly. But she does come with it.

Uhhh

1.5kG? Haggleable.

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.

Hello all

I would like to give my deepest apologies to Snaphance #2380 on flight rising. I used thier drawing as a basis for my pencil drawing of priya (linked below) and did not credit them. At the time of the drawing I was unaware of the original artist as it was an image I found on google that linked to pinterest with no link to the original. As I did not want to credit a random site and not the artist I did not post credit to that image.  And so to clarify, the drawing I did of priya in my sketchbook is heavily referenced off of Snaphance’s drawing and I would like to properly give them credit now that I know who the original artist is.

southerners in the snow storm—

if your car is outside, go run it for a bit so the battery doesn’t die

scrape your car if there’s any snow on it

If you have a fireplace, learn how it works (gas or wood) and look up how to use it

leave your faucets dripping and open cabenits under the sink

if you can get supplies, get what you need for fire (wood, matches, fire starters), kitty litter to keep in your car and sprinkle around if you lose traction, warm clothes including gloves, socks, and thermal underwear, water bottles

if you must drive make sure you have warm clothes in the car

While driving keep a long follow distance, go slowly, don’t expect anyone else to be able to stop easily

Dont brake if you lose control of your vehicle, or during any turns

this isn’t a comprehensive list by any means

Northerners/People who live in cold/snowy places—

Realize that the South doesn’t have the same infrastructure to plow and salt roads and that most people are never taught how to deal with cold

Also most houses aren’t built for it and we have external water pipes and power lines

So shut up about how people can’t handle a little cold and actually give helpful advice if you must speak (:

Here's how to help:

Dallas: Dallas Homeless Alliance President and CEO Carl Falconer said donations can be made to Our Calling, who is managing the city’s shelter at the convention center.

Austin: Chris Davis, communications manager for Austin’s Ending Community Homelessness Coalition, or ECHO, said people can find a list of ways to help here. These donations range from sleeping bags to monetary donations for hygiene and snack kits.

San Antonio: South Alamo Regional Alliance for the Homeless Executive Director Katie Vela said their biggest area of need is volunteers to work the overnight shifts, especially those living in the downtown area who might be able to walk to the shelters. Vela also said the shelters are also in need of hot meals beginning Tuesday. People can find the list of shelters here.

Houston: Catherine B. Villarreal, the director of communications for the Coalition for the Homeless, said people can donate to any of the organizations in The Way Home listed here.

Girl Scout Cookie Time!

You can buy cookies online from any troop with a page set up.  People bought so many cookies from troop 6000 (who is based out of a homeless shelter in NYC) that is broke the counter on the website.

Here’s six troops from high poverty areas that may struggle to reach their goals. Individual troops list on their page what they’re doing with funds. for many of these its simple things like badges or craft supplies. Get yourself some cookies.

troop 168 Sabra Grande, Puerto Rico 

 Troop 3559 Chinlee, Az (Navajo nation)

 Troop 31897 Meadow Bridge, West Virginia 

Troop 70115 Rena Lara, Mississippi 

 Troop9626 Kykotsmovi Village, AZ  -Hopi Nation

Troop 30349 Darien, GA 

You can also just donate cookies on there and they’ll be distributed to the local community. (I work at food pantry here and clients are always excited to see cookies on the shelves)

You can look up your local troop by zip code on https://www.girlscouts.org/   If they’re similarly struggling to raise funds, reblog and add ‘em on to the chain.
