Remember "Oxygen Bars"? My household does. We searched it up, and they are re-emerging in the suburbs in the Chicago area. These things used to be in malls everywhere before the respiratory virus pandemic hit. It seems the subrubanites really need that kick of sharing the respiratory equipment during a contagion to start their day.

The new thing seems to be sharing an IV instead of a cannula. I bet the het white suburbanites are still gonna talk shit about gays and addicts " sharing needles" though 🙄
help me identify this cactus
for reasons, i developed a kind of hyperfixation on plants around half a year ago. as such, i'd like to take better care of this cactus i was gifted in 2017 or so.
the only love i gave it so far was a bit of water whenever it occurred to me that plants do in fact need that to live, which was every couple of months. can any of you botany enthusiasts out there tell me what species this is? also, why is one of the branches so brown and shriveled? should i repot it and, if yes, what pot size and substrate? feel free to infodump, i'd love to learn! :3

im normal about magical girls being dark side corrupted. i'm not weird about it, don't worry.
So many ppl I know have been badly affected by this attack. None of them have anything to do with Hezbollah. They’re in fact all anti-Hezbollah. Not that this ever mattered to Israel.
A close friend’s sister almost died just bcs some Hezbollah dude was near her and his pager blew up
Last year the NYPD spent $150 Million to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They collectively owed just $104,000 in fares.
Instead of funding cops to shoot people, why not use the money to make public transport free for people who can't afford it?

@vantablack it baffles me that the link preview isn't just generated once, by the client of the person posting the link, and just attached to the AP note as extra data during federation after publishing.
This is how a lot of messaging apps handle it, which always ensures a link preview is only ever generated once whenever a user shares it.
@KimCrayton1 white dude opinions are precisely the opposite of high-variety, full of shared blind spots begat from high privilege and highly-overpapping monotonous life circumstances. This really shouldn't be that controversial, but of course some boring low-variety guy is gonna get pissed off huh?
subtoot, cultural appropriation, slang
when you hear "gen Z slang", your first thought should be "is this actually just appropriated AAVE that has been stripped of its cultural context and is now being used to enrich white people instead of those who coined it?"
like I'm pretty sure skibidi toilet is its own thing, for example, but "no cap" is an Atlanta hiphop thing, "slay" originated in Black/Latinx queer ball culture, "queen" is most likely a clipping of "drag queen" ... like, this is literally what cultural appropriation is: getting elevated for doing things that would get marginalized people punished.
ICYMI, my partner @nullagent was assaulted last night protesting at a #Seattle City Council member's home over the anti-homeless/anti-SW legislation that's underway.
He's heading over to urgent care now to get a full assessment, and possible stitches for the head wound.
We are getting some extra help at home this week, but he REALLY needs to rest up and take it easy while he recovers.
Update: we launched a fundraising page! Please donate + share.
Begpost for my fiancee's birthday today (18th), please reboost
Hey friends,
Happy birthday to the love and light of my life 🧡
I'd like to raise more money for her birthday if possible, please, to get my fiancee gifts and send her the money, so she can buy what she wants. These last months have been awful for her too, so I want her to enjoy her day as much as possible. She'd need clothing.
Any donation is appreciated if you can. Thank you so much for your precious help!

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
