@Nine Wouldn't you if you looked that cute?

Dr. Rajagopalan Vasudevan has, since his pilot project in 2002, replaced 10,000km of roads in India with an asphalt that includes recycled consumer plastic as a binder.

The plastic melts at a safe temperature - 100C below its burning point, so it doesn't release toxins into the air - and replaces 10% of the bitumen normally used. It prevents potholes (since it seals the bitumen-asphalt gaps water would seep into) and reduces waste.

I just got an email saying my phone (which provides me with internet) will be suspended for non-payment.

I can't even afford bread right now, and I have bills that I cannot pay.

Anything helps.
Boosting puts my need in front of people with an extra dollar or two.

With LiberaPay in limbo, the GoFundMe is my only option:

Please.
Even a dollar or two helps.

Sharing to other social media helps immensely as well.

An interview with Rebecca Sugar, creator of #StevenUniverse:

She talks about how the Gems are coded as female but are nonbinary, and explicitly says she is a nonbinary woman herself. It legit brought happy tears to my eyes.

Possible archaeological discovery in Meath, Ireland described as 'very significant'.
The henge, which could measure up to 200 metres in diameter, is believed to have been built some 500 years after the Newgrange site, around 3000 BC.
