"The stench arrives before the lorries do. They are carrying skins that were stripped from cattle carcasses days ago. Flies are everywhere.
The lorries’ destination is Amparo, a small industrial town in São Paulo state, southeastern Brazil. Here, Rousselot, a company owned by the Texan business Darling Ingredients, extracts collagen – the active ingredient in health supplements at the centre of a global wellness craze.
But while collagen’s most evangelical users claim the protein can improve hair, skin, nails and joints, slowing the ageing process, it has a dubious effect on the health of the planet. Collagen can be extracted from fish, pig and cattle skin, but behind the wildly popular “bovine” variety in particular lies an opaque industry driving the destruction of tropical forests and fuelling violence and human rights abuses in the Brazilian Amazon.
An investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, the Guardian, ITV and O Joio e O Trigo has found that tens of thousands of cattle raised on farms damaging tropical forests were processed at abattoirs connected to international collagen supply chains."

"the preteens are running around sephora because all their third spaces are gone!" i get that but did you know. did you know that there is an age appropriate store for young girls selling (fake) makeup & accessories. are you reasonable enough to understand that 10-12 year old girls do not need to be running around an adult makeup store ruining displays, destroying products, & generally leaving the stores a mess? all while they harass employees & disrespect them. the real solution obviously is to make 3rd spaces accessible again but until then keep your CHILD out of sephora unless you are right there with them & able to fucking parent.

So there was this “acne has nothing to do with how clean your skin is it’s just hormones” post on my dash earlier that I didn’t reblogged cuz the whole thing felt sus and upon further research I was in fact right. The reason hormones cause acne is because they can cause your skin to secrete more oil which, when mixed with bacteria on your skin, can cause acne! So like, yeah, hormones DO cause acne but keeping your skin clean can still mitigate the effects!

The Promise Mini Series vs The Promise Series
The Director of the Mini Series. Phupha Aired First in August 2022 followed by Nanfah in November of 2022. On The DEVONTE296 YOUTUBE CHANNEL after which a series was announced for 2023
The Stars.
The support Roles were the roles of Deena (who liked Phu) and Gigi (who liked Nan) and Khunkao (whom Nan confused for Phu in Australia then later developed feelings for Nan while helping him search for Phu)
For the series a new director took the helm in Khom (the director of KINNPORSCHE)
Screenwriter Funt also known as FuntLand (with some impressive credits including BANGKOK LOVE STORIES: PLEASE, THE INTERNS, ROSE IN DA HOUSE and FLEET OF TIME)
The Series Support Roles has added BOSS (as Party) MICKEY as (as JOE) RUTHAIWAN (Phu's Grandmother)
LIFT (as KEN ...Nan's Boss) was in the mini series SEAGAMES (as KHUNKAO) as well and MARIMA (as DEENA) eagle eyes may have seen her when Nan and Phu kissed while trying to move the ball without hands she was in the crowd screaming.
MINT (as Gigi) either is a different Gigi than in the mini series since a new actress has taken over from HEIDI (who played Gigi in the mini series.)
MDL only list the child actor that played Phu (I loved him) and the actress that played Nan's mother (she was in the mini series as well) however the impressive child actor who played Nan isn't listed...yet or Nan's Father (also appeared in the mini series)
Now as the series has only 2 episodes released (WETV) and 1 episode (DEVONTE296 YOUTUBE CHANNEL)
There are changes to the plot (storyline) obviously keeping the Phu leaving Nan for 10 years but possibly changing the reason a tiny bit.
And Phu has orchestrated his return in Nan's life as seen by him using his friendship with Joe to move into Joe's condo right across from Nan (kinda shown in one the many deleted scenes from the mini series)
