Internet friends: We offer a free 30 day trial for our Membership, and I want to get an automated Slack message from Stripe when someone has 2 days left, so I can reach out personally. Tried to figure it out in Zapier, but can't. Any ideas?

Week in and week out "learn about meaningful careers", "organize for affordable housing", and "donate to disaster relief" are among the top searches on WCID and boy it feels like the tea leaves aren't difficult to read sometimes

Helpful reminder: Gaza is not starving, the people of Gaza are *being starved*. Always use the active voice. And always say who is *doing* the starving. In this case, Israel is starving Gaza! Using US taxpayer dollars and weapons. To do the genocide. Thanks!

Until recently, tools for tracking fish were too big for small swimmers, limiting our ability to understand the lives of diminutive species.

New technology is changing that - a potential boost for conservation. My story for @biographic.bsky.social (with edits from @colinschultz.bsky.social!)

The instant, gleeful doxing of people now includes the utterly benign (dancing weird at a concert; standing in public; etc). It is incredibly unsettling that people feel it is worthwhile to dig into the lives of random ass people with little to no public interest www.404media.co/the-astronom...

Why has this D.C. summer felt like living in a sauna—with storms almost daily? 🌡️⛈️

Blame a heat dome parked over the steamy Atlantic, sending tropical air our way nonstop.
