The number of U.S. oil refineries exceeding the EPA's action level for cancer-causing benzene in 2023 was cut in half compared to 2020.
These are the kinds of regulations Trump and his minions want to scrap. The very first executive order of Trump's presidency was to relax regulations governing dumping mine waste into rivers
Last night, my husband asked me to look at something that felt weird on his back, and honestly, it looked like a cancerous mole. I told him he needed to go to the doctor this morning, so he did. The Nurse Practitioner said, Yep, that looks gnarly, and took a biopsy. Now we have to wait for a week, which feels way too long. I know basal cell carcinomas are very treatable, and almost never lead to death, but I still feel anxious. Has anyone else dealt with this before?
@RickiTarr my HoneyBear was diagnosed 6 years ago with metastatic melanoma. More than 40 internal tumors from neck to belly. Given 5 months to live. No obvious symptoms except a fast growing growth. He is cancer free after immunotherapy ❤️😘❣️☮️🕉️💟 Science is the Bomb 💥💥💥 & just for fun #thicktrunktuesday
Monstrous decision that says women’s lives are not to be protected, even in the face of a medical emergency. Gun owners are fiercely protected in Texas. Women, not.
A lot of people need to take a hard look at how they are voting or plan to. Who gets elected in Texas is one thing, but the Fifth Circuit is comprised of judges appointed by Presidents.
I went for a short hike up to Chickadee Ridge above Lake Tahoe this morning. I've lived in the Reno area for >30yrs & never hiked up there, I guess because of the crowds. It's a popular spot because the chickadees will feed out of your hand. But today I didn't find any chickadees at the top. Lower down I saw a couple, saw one woman trying to get them to eat out of her hand but she wasn't having much luck so I didn't bother to setup to make detailed photos of the birds. It was a nice hike though.
@elaterite#birds many many years ago when I lived at Lake Tahoe I was cross country skiing. Not sure what trail it might’ve been. This was Northlake Tahoe but indeed, I had a chickadee eat out of my hand! It was a magical experience.❤️
The things we protested about in the 60's and 70's are the same things we protest about today.
We had #Nixon then and #Trump and the #Republicans today.
It seems that nothing has changed over the decades.
As Americans we have to take the responsibility as we are the ones that keep putting corruption back in power.
We have the power to change things, it's called VOTING.
We all need to get out and VOTE the next election and fix this mess we are in.
Don't let the #Fascists win ever again!
Don't come to tell us you hate all holidays. I know they can be tough, but what you probably don't like is toxic people attached to them. Either way yucking someone's yum is not nice, so don't.
@timjan@RickiTarr Grew up with Swedish Christmas but don’t do the meats anymore & funny, I never liked kroppkakor 😆 . What I did love is my Grandma’s Swedish cookies of all types 😋
It isn't conspiracy to commit a crime when the plan is to do it legally elsewhere. For example, gambling is illegal may places, but it isn't a conspiracy to plan a trip to Las Vegas.
The “party of personal freedom” is all about control and overreach. They want fascist rule. It’s not an exaggeration.
