Like remembering that before unions, a lot of folks worked 6 or 7 days a week, it's worth remembering that before environmental movements, the air and water in a lot of places were fucking gross. Left to their own devices, companies just straight-up poisoned people. They will again if we let them.

Apparently, people keep typing "Utah" in Google Maps navigation and get stranded on the same remote mountain.
1. This would make a great setup for a slasher novel
2. Who navigates to <state>?? You can't be slightly more specific?

Insert an Invert: False Crabs.
I went with a hermit crab. I hate that there's trash in their habitats that they can use as a shell but it is certainly visually whimsical. I feel like a bit of a hermit crab myself these days, especially one living in a spicy can of peppers.

Prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, it killed more than 400 Americans per year, with children being the most vulnerable. Due to childhood vaccination, deaths from measles were nearly entirely eliminated in the US in the 1990s.
The rise in antivax rhetoric is killing children.
