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!

Who would you kiss sloppy-style at ground zero?

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

The Editor in Chief of a prestigious political magazine used the N-word on live TV yesterday to refer to Haitian immigrants, and somehow it's not even a blip in the national news cycle.

But there are like 5,000 stories about new Apple Watch features.

What even is happening.

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?

White dudes, particularly cis/hetero/non-disabled/christian, lived experiences are LIMITED which means that, on the majority of subjects that interest me, so are your opinions…WITHOUT intention and strategic effort, your ideas and behavior are curated to cause harm

saw an ad with an elevator full of people coughing, visualisation of viruses flying around, and the solution for it was some silly vitamin c thing

no no, the solution is you should be wearing a mask.

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.
