Can you provide support based in the scientific literature that this fossil is 555mya old? If not, why are you assuming this random unsourced meme is reliable, and why should we assume you’re not probably just falling for misinfo?

That’s not what I’m asking about. I’m asking for evidence that the fossil has been dated by scientists as being from the Precambrian - specifically 555mya.

They’re making tiktok videos on the clock with their boss (*literally* a Gen Z boss with a mini, & a company iirc bringing in 22M in revenue) as a social media marketing strategy to promote their ‘fun & playful’ Australian skincare brand. Is the world just a 2d screen to you?

A small plurality of the American people (not the majority of all eligible voting age Americans, by far) mostly voted to, as far as anyone can tell, get egg prices down. The election was not a referendum on foreign aid, and it’s maybe not especially honest to present it as such.

Yep. In fact:
A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.

Sunset and I in March of 2019. He’s been at @MtlARN since 2015 and is still looking for a home!
He recently had some bad medical news, not life threatening but chronic, that took away any real chance of being adopted. 😿

This is a legitimate question. You are assuming a medical professional - an ER doc! - asking a child if there’s anything they want to discuss in private wants to “push transgenderism” on them. From my POV that’s a bizarre and kinda paranoid idea, akin to the late 1970s/80s…
