I intend to press criminal charges and file a civil lawsuit against the assailant and accomplices, which will require significant funding for legal fees. I am also fundraising to help cover the costs of lost work during recovery, hiring additional help with my child, and the extensive time that will go into this battle. All of your support will help me continue my vital work as a local activist, and ensure that a violent act of modern-day racism does not go unanswered.

We serve incarcerated readers in 35 US states. We don't send books to people in Wisconsin, because people there have long been served by Wisconsin Books to Prisoners (WBTP).
Unfortunately, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections has banned WBTP from sending books to people in their custody. With ironic timing, they announced this just a few weeks before Prison Banned Books Week!

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

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?

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.

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.
