The WaPo gift link ate the entire character count of Mastodon! Let’s try TinyURL:
Unpaywalled #uspolitics article (link is long, in comments) about how this #Biden proposal aligns the interest of #labor and #immigrants , instead of allowing #exploitative businesses to pit them against each other by cultivating a disposable pool of black market humans to distort the #employment market and dispense with any need to provide #safe and #humane working conditions. But now:

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the coming decades will bring #climate conditions that make the future of #food production uncertain.
Enter cultivated meat, which doesn’t come from a chicken, pig or cow on the farm. Instead it’s grown in a lab directly from animal cells as a more sustainable alternative, requiring less water, fertilizer, land & energy with fewer emissions.
A new Serving Up Science is all about cultivated meat: https://youtu.be/GaX38aFAGSo
Are you willing to try it?

On 13 January 1991, #Lithuania people stood unarmed against #Soviet tanks, defending freedom.
Today we remember them & #StandWithUkraine which defends 🇺🇦 & 🇪🇺 freedom now.
“The Forget-Me-Not #flower worn in memory of our #freedom fighters inspires us to continue protecting our #democracy.”
Bad luck is canceled this #fridaythe13th because this #cat isn’t having it.

6. According to @Walgreens@twitter.com, total shrink in its last quarter was 2.5%.
Kehoe said he was "quite happy" with the number
We asked Walgreens how much of the 2.5% was due to shoplifting. The company didn't answer
It's likely that external theft @Walgreens@twitter.com amounts to <1% of sales
I’ve never felt comfortable with #GasStoves ANYWAY because of all the fires they cause year after year and the potential for deadly gas leaks. But y’all do know that no one is coming to rip yours out, right? It was ONE interview with ONE official that was discussing a range (no pun intended) of possible options they were looking at to make future stoves safer, which at most may affect new sales. This is all so #stupid.

Egg prices remain stubbornly high, according to the Washington Post.
I think this is caused by a chicken cartel. I think I've heard about it.
O-PECK.

Five #petals, 28 mm in size.
Trapped in #ambar for 33 to 38 million years.
Discovered by #EvaMariaSadowski in 1872.
Now studied to reveal to this present that it was immortalized as it was spreading its #pollen.

In need of a better Confused emoji. Several ? above a head, or something along those lines. This guy 🤔 is great for, say, sarcastic thoughtfulness, and the shrug is a great shrug, but neither gives that “utterly baffled and lost here/genuinely no idea what you are getting at” energy I find myself w more often than I should admit.
Spelling it out is actually harder than it sounds because much of the same language is recycled by the mocking and the passive-aggressive. I need Tone.

Last year I made a website for people who want to #volunteer or do good in the world, but may not want or be able to do something in person.
It's a categorized index of ways you can #volunteer your time with a variety of projects.
I made it specifically for people who are struggling with #mentalhealth issues, who may be #disabled or are maybe just overwhelmed at where to start.
I'd love feedback or suggestions for more sites!

In Poland, waxwing birds love to eat fermented fruit, get drunk and then lie insensible on the pavement.
People collect them and put them in a safe place until they sober up... #OurBeautifulWorld
Thanks to @StateofPoland for the photo.
