Birch sugar is the same thing as xylitol and it’s toxic to dogs - Veterinary Teaching Hospital

Labeled as “xylitol” within the ingredients list for most products, the same plant-derived substance can also be identified as “birch sugar”

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

‘Empower’ hotline by Arizona Dept. of Education dealing with prank calls in first week

Horne said two staff members are sorting through the calls, and two investigators are working on credible leads.

azfamily.com

and for the love of god, don’t just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, they’ll just hang up

make plausible-sounding reports for things that don’t actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll

So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldn’t be deterred by the prank calls because they would ‘taper off eventually’. It’d be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. 😇

Damn, would be real silly if someone automated phone bombing that number or something

sometimes, you cross my mind.

a flood of memories. that’s the only way i can describe it.

i still remember everything. i remember the very start, and the very end. i will forever owe you so many apologies. so many. im sorry for putting you through all of it. im sorry i made things difficult. im sorry i said i love you even though i didn’t. im sorry i gave you more bad memories than good ones. im truly, truly sorry. but i also i gave you everything i had. even though i had feelings i didn’t understand, even though i knew the feelings i had werent strong enough to be labelled love, i gave you everything. once in a lifetime, i was yours and you were mine. even if it was a spilt second, a memory that feels like wind, even if it feels like it wasn’t real. it was there. it happened. now that we’re apart, now that we’ve grown, i think i understand it now. i will always love you, will always care for you, but you’re not the one my love. for a lifetime, i thought you were. you thought i was. but things have changed. i want you to know that i don’t understand it either. i don’t get why i feel nothing. i don’t understand why sometimes, not interacting with you feels better. i don’t know why i don’t feel your absence anymore. maybe this is moving on. its bitter, but it feels okay. please know im sorry. a very big part of me cares about you, even if i don’t show it. im a hesitant person, my thoughts are always all over the place, and i never say or decide on the right things. please forgive me. i want to ask about you. i want to know you’re okay. i just don’t know why i am like this. regardless, thank you for the memories. the laughs. the smiles. the jokes, the sneaky outings, the lies and the things i did just to see you. i will forever cherish these memories, they will always, always have a very special place in my heart. you were once my lover, but always my bestfriend.
