Orisla - Beta Test - More than social media

Travis, a chimpanzee adopted by Sandra Herold when he was young, knew how to: open doors, dress himself, water the plants, eat at the table, drink juice from a glass, operate the computer, turn on the television, brush his teeth, and even learned to drive a car.

But one day...

In 2009, Sandra's friend Carla whom he knows well came to the house to visit them, and while sitting she picked up Travis' favorite toy, a stuffed teddy bear, the monkey went crazy and jumped on it! He beat her, bit her, cut off her nose and hands, and slashed her face.

The police later shot him

Investing on Digital Currency

Hello! Just wondering if anyone has knowledge about digital currency. I'm planning to actually invest on it, but I don't know where to start. Would help if you'll also help me about the pros and cons of investing in bitcoin or any digital currency. Although, I can google it, I just want your firsthand experiences. Also, I want to know about forex trading and the likes. Thank you :)

Last Resort

I will be posting resources and self care tips in the near future. First I am in crisis mode, so I’m looking for help. I take care of my husband who is sick and we live on one income. I been trying to keep us afloat for years but Ive hit a wall. I lost my job and I don’t qualify for benefits and we are still waiting to see if my husband will get disability which I doubt. It is very hard to get approval. I created a gofundme with our full story and we got help that got us through April but now we aren’t sure if we will even make rent for May. I’m looking desperately for new work and hope to get something soon. If anyone is willing to either help is by donating or sharing my link I would greatly appreciate it. I’m so sorry for asking, I have tried everything else and I don’t know what to do. Below is the link to my gofundme.

Someone made a site that tracks Senator stock trading

Thought it would fit nicely here.

https://www.quiverquant.com/sources/senatetrading

From the site:

"The Stock Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act requires U.S. Senators to publicly file and disclose any financial transaction within 45 days of its occurrence. We download those disclosures, parse them for stock trades, fetch the stock's performance in the time following the transaction, and calculate each Senator's cumulative return from their trades. "

Hello!

I'm putting together a clothing giveaway for April 22nd, 2023 from 10:00am - 12:00pm.

We will be at the stage at Deming Park, which is important because we will have live music!

The band name is Dying in the Midwest, so send them some love!

These are the items we have at this time, a huge thank you to everyone who donated last time!

If you have some extra clothes to give away: please post a description in the comments of what you're bringing and plan to arrive an hour early. Everyone who does this will receive a free Recognition on their comment. (If you're not from around here: when you receive at least 30 Recognition you can withdraw it from the site as cash).

if you want to reserve clothing from the main list: please leave a comment indicating which clothing item you'd like to reserve. These will be set aside for you, but be prepared to prove it is your account by bringing a device and clicking Account, or sharing a screenshot showing the same.

Extra: post a photo of yourself at the event on Orisla, and link that post to your social media for an extra 5 Recognition.

We are planning on having this event every month, so keep your eyes peeled for the next one.
