Sex workers get harrassed, a PHD earner gets harassed, a married woman happy with her husband gets harassed, a single woman in her 30s gets harassed. And you bitches will log on here and act like doing something different gets you different treatment
Looks like disease is affecting several sponge species in the USVI. Check out the lesions on this Agelas and Aplysina near St. Croix. Anyone else picked up on this? #spongethursday

Super lame that we can only post 720p from free X accounts. Anyways I shot this yesterday with our new camera! I promise it looks much better in 8k 60 fps 🤘🏼#canonr5c
lmao Greensboro is where my now husband and I took our first ever vacation. We went downtown for a concert. Said concert was cancelled so we crashed a salsa dancing class and found a Barcade. It was actually a great time.

Once you’ve been through a f*cked up mentoring relationship, it’s hard to act “normal” and go about your career. This job is particularly hard because you can’t ever really escape the triggers. They’re everywhere.
This is why people don’t know what paths are any more. Omg am I the old person now?

Counterpoint, when first *learning R* (and dear god teaching it) these are exceptionally important commands.

The loudspeaker recording is standard for mandatory evacs. I grew up near Gulfport and the cops came thru playing pretty much the same audio ahead of Charley in 04.
My dad was ON THE TEAM when Vanderbilt beat Alabama 40 years ago.
This defeat was the “highlight of his year,” his daughter’s wedding a close second hopefully 😂
Just so happens we watched together after days of hurricane clean up in St. Pete. Much needed W for clan Olinger!
This is what I was afraid of.
Pinellas County reporting 5 storm related deaths, so far. 2 in Treasure Island, 2 in Indian Rocks Beach and 1 in Dunedin
