The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit; it is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.
The pineapple is native to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. The introduction of the pineapple plant to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapple has been commercially grown in greenhouses and many tropical plantations. The fruit, particularly its juice, has diverse uses in cuisines and desserts.
Pineapples grow as a small shrub; the individual flowers of the unpollinated plant fuse to form a multiple fruit. The plant normally propagates from the offset produced at the top of the fruit or from a side shoot, and typically matures within a year.

it's been over a week since her first dose of pyrantel and I've been making sure to clean out her litter every day and we got her and the other 2 cats on Revolution (which also kills roundworms) so I think since she should have passed the worms + eggs in her within the first few days and revolution should be killing any new ones as they reach her intestines I'm pretty sure it's okay for her to be out and walking around. The other cats probably won't encounter any eggs and if they do they're protected with their own doses
If I'm wrong about that tbh i don't wanna know, I feel like Ive had enough anxiety over this cat being a biohazard and I don't wanna put her back in the dog kennel until she gets spayed because she understandably fucking hates being locked up in there and it makes everyone, especially her, very sad

Very Alaska moment

As someone not from Alaska, quick question. Is that oil made for seals, oil made from seals, or oil used to ensure a proper seal when closing a container?
Made from seals, it's rendered blubber. Native Alaskans have exclusive hunting rights to seals and whales and seeing aunties run a big oil pot for making seal or whale oil is super common.

Before the war, my dream was simple: to continue my education, build a future, and support my parents, my brother, and my sister. Like millions of young people around the world, I believed that hard work could change my life.
Then the war came, and everything changed.
For nearly three years, my family and I have been living in a displacement camp. Every day is a struggle just to survive.
The summer heat inside the tents is unbearable. During the day, the tent becomes like an oven, making it almost impossible to sleep or even breathe comfortably.
One of the hardest parts of our daily life is simply getting water. We walk long distances carrying heavy buckets because clean water is scarce. Every liter is precious, and we never know if there will be enough for drinking, cooking, or washing.
Food has become another daily concern. Many days we survive on very simple meals because basic necessities are difficult to find and far too expensive. Life has become a constant search for the essentials that many people take for granted.
The war has also taken a heavy toll on our health. Medical care is extremely limited, medicines are often unavailable, and even common illnesses become frightening because treatment is so difficult to obtain. We have been exhausted physically and emotionally by years of uncertainty.
Despite everything, I refuse to give up.
I have been nominated for admission in Cairo so I can continue my education, and I have also received an acceptance from the University of Glasgow, which represents a dream I have carried for years—to study in Europe, gain knowledge, and one day build a better future for my family.
Unfortunately, these opportunities require financial resources that my family simply cannot afford after everything we have lost.
The tuition fees at the University of Glasgow are £33,000, far beyond anything I could ever pay under these circumstances.
In addition, I need approximately €7,500 to cover my entry fees in Cairo, study materials, and the essential costs of starting my education again.
I am not asking for luxury.
I am asking for a chance.
A chance to study.
A chance to rebuild my life.
A chance to help my parents after everything they have endured.
A chance to give my younger brother and sister hope that our future can still be different.
To every compassionate person reading this, I want to say:
You are our only hope.
To the people of Europe and the Western world, you have shown kindness to countless families in difficult times. Today, I ask you to stand with mine as well.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety, education, and dignity. Even if you cannot donate, sharing my story could help it reach someone who can.
If you would like to support my family and my education, you can donate here:
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
From my father, my mother, my brother, my sister, and from me…
Thank you for giving us hope when hope feels so far away.
With gratitude,
Soliman
