@thegibson@hackers.town y'all might also want to propagate some diy medicine info, while you're at it.
Maybe put together a 'beginner's guide' to following the instructions linked in the following article as securely/privately/safely as possible?
Stuff like when to use a VPN, PO box, etc.

@t54r4n1 at the risk of being the uncool kid, how does one get a sex forest lawn sign?

I've got lawyer bills and apartment cleanup/repair fees to pay so if people would care to commission me, I'd be grateful.
$14.58 is in my bank account and the lawyer's asking for $409.50 and the apartment corporate office is asking for $1076.41

Yo, there's some real fucked up restrictions that went into place. You might know someone who could benefit from you (yes, YOU) having the substances mentioned here on-hand.
Remember that at six weeks, most people still don't know they're pregnant.

twitch abuse
Twitch Streamers are taking Today off to Protest Hate Raids and Abuse
Twitch streamers boycott the platform to raise awareness for marginalized voices
Twitch streamers are on strike to protest inaction over abuse
These are three different things. 
Protesting bad user behavior, protesting the refusal to listen to complaints about it, protesting against refusal to take action.
By the time you get all three, stuff is really bad and has been really bad for a long time.

So we're not crossing picket lines on Sept 1st at Twitch, right folks?
Support marginalized Twitch streamers and do not interact with Twitch on Sept 1st. This is to raise awareness for the countless cases of racist, homophobic and transphobic attacks on a platform that has falsely promised improvement.
Here’s Why Black and LGBTQ+ Gamers Are Taking #ADayOffTwitch | them.

Canadians, is your workplace or organization recognizing September 30th, the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation?
If yes, what specifically are you doing?
If no, have you asked your employer why not?
(If Canada lowered its flag for a day, for every child known to have died at your residential schools, the flag would not raise for 18 years.)
(Boosts encouraged.)

What term best describes when software corps pull features from their free version and force you to pay for them? Especially the case where they take community contributions and put them behind a paywall? "Treehousing" evokes the idea of building a treehouse together but when youre down below, they pull up the ladder on you. "Gangplanking" is perhaps more self-describing ;) other ideas welcome! inspired by @dumpsterqueer and @handle

Spread this to black trans or non-binary people you know: the Marsha P. Johnson Institute is paying $500 directly to black trans or non-binary folks, with priority given to black trans women and those who have experience as sex workers or have been formerly incarcerated

Tired, death (not mine), very bad mental health (not mine), unethical psych stuff, substance use, just real bad vibes and sui****, venting
Friday was a big day. Saturday was a big day. Today, I try to rest.
Today, I cannot entirely rest.
I had a phone call with a friend from college. Another one of our friends died a couple of days ago. We hadn't been close.
He'd been kind of an ass to his girlfriend, who eventually left him a few years ago. He was broke, delusional, and insisted that he was getting sufficient psych help because someone he knew online was ostensibly writing (with intent to publish) an academic paper on his presentation of DID. The friends who were visiting him at the time pushed, but didn't want to actively do something against his will. A couple of weeks later, he was found dead, presumably of asphyxiation or overdose.
Once upon a time, he was really cool. But, more relevantly, he was also an asshole. People tried for years to get him to be less of an asshole. He treated others and himself badly. But he clearly was in need of more help than he got, and his death weighs.
We checked in on him. We did as much work as we could stomach. And he was still an asshole and he is still dead. Sometimes, the world is just ugly.
Be careful about where you're getting your mental health help from, and maybe check in on your friends who are trying to navigate things like finding a therapist or getting competent treatment. And, you know, if sobriety is hard, maybe go talk to someone you trust about that.
If you're dating an asshole, it's okay to stop and leave. This could have been so much worse if his ex weren't elsewhere.
Life is fleeting. Maybe love your friends a little louder today. Big oof day.

The Mutual Aid Response Network is accepting donations for their Hurricane Ida relief fund.
They're legit, and run through NOLA's Imagine Water Works.
