queeranarchism : OffGaurdian: “I understand the need to act in Venezuela. The country has seen weeks of violent protests, the embattled President has less than 17% approval rating and government forced have been gassing and maiming civilians in the streets. Oh sorry, that’s not Venevuela, that’s France.” (Kudos to the ‘violent protests’, you’re doing amazing)
antifainternational : warriormale : tikkunolamorgtfo : polar-solstice : The first time I met my boyfriend’s grandparents, I was terrified. First, I really wanted them to like me, and second, he told me they were pretty religious. They’re Roman Catholic, but I’m Jewish, and I didn’t get the impression from the rest of his family that that would upset them, but I wasn’t sure they’d be chill with us dating, and I’m always afraid of those unconscious, anti-semitic micro-aggressions. Sure enough, within an hour of meeting me they asked if I was religious, in a way that was obviously asking if I had a religion, and which one it was. I calmly told them I was Jewish, and my boyfriend’s grandmother lit up. Her mother was a Syrian who moved to Brooklyn in the early 1900′s and she grew up in a Syrian and Jewish community in Brooklyn and boy wasn’t it nice to have someone around who could help her with her Jewish pastry. It was really pleasant. His grandfather was mostly quiet. After lunch, he ...

accras : For many Americans who are not federal workers or contractors, a shutdown is a minor inconvenience. A trip to a national park may be canceled. A call to a government office may go unanswered. But for Native American tribes, which rely heavily on federal money to operate, a shutdown can cripple their most basic functions [ x ].

dangerbabegang : FOOD Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while. some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit SHELTER Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it Some churches offer short term residence Find your nearest homeless shelter Look for places that are open to the public A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry HYGIENE A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Emmenagogues
blessed-aine : Whilst talking with my aunt–who is a devout herbalist in another circle in her own town– about herbal remedies, she brought up the word emmenagogue . In this case, the word refers to an herb or plant that can stimulate menstrual flow. For those who may have late menstruation or elongated cycles, this may be quite a helpful remedy, but to uninformed users, it may also have detrimental effects. Most emmenagogues also act as abortifacients, as in, they may harm a pregnancy or can cause miscarriages. My reason for writing this post is that there are some common herbs that people use for other reasons that may in fact also have emmenagogue/abortifacient properties. Most posts that I see do not address this, and I’d like my followers and the rest of the online witchblr community to be informed as well. In most cases, you should not take more than the recommended dosage of any herb anyways, especially if you are taking other prescribed medications. If you are pregnant or are th...
eregyrn-falls : the-library-alcove : systlin : kamikaze-kumquat : systlin : maximum-marrs : systlin : captainoftheseaqueen : I just saw that people have cut down some of the Joshua trees during this shutdown and I want to cry w H A T The what trees? Someone explain? I want to be appropriately sad. I mean, I’m sad either way because trees are better than people. But why are these trees more special than usual? They’re a rare species, and one that is very stunning, and also one that is very vulnerable to habitat loss and climate change. And if I ever get my hands on one of the people who did this, I will be hard pressed to not kill them. Did you see WHY they cut them down? They cut them down so they could go off roading in closed off areas of pristine desert. Some fucking people should not be let out of their cages. I take what I said back. I would ABSOLUTELY have to kill them. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/us/joshua-trees-cut-down.html https://edition.cnn.com/2019/01/11/us/...
workingclasshistory : On this day, 22 January 1971, 25 homeless families occupied an empty apartment block in the working class neighbourhood of Quarto Oggiaro, Milan. The occupation was attacked by over 2,000 police but the families’ militancy forced the local council to rehouse them.

violaslayvis : Liberals are so idiotic. If you point out that [U.S. President] murdered [non-Western people] they will sometimes concede that “every President is a murderer.” But if that’s the case, instead of coming to the logical conclusion that the Presidency must be condemned, they still support it. Bc they simply don’t care about the murder of non-Westerners.

The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.” You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.

toadistic : madamehearthwitch : spooniestrong : cutlerydeficient : howling-fucking-fantods : escavel : sopphistries : tittyrants : fire-lord-frowny : It really, REALLY bothers me when I hear people frame climate change and other environmental crises as something that everyday, average-ass people are responsible for, and not corporations and entire governments. Like literally, how can a regular-ass person ~opt out~ of all damaging behaviors while still being able to function in society? You literally can’t. The future of our planet is not down to whether or not someone recycles their water bottle. It’s down to whether or not governments and corporations decide to quit sucking up all our resources and poisoning the earth with reckless abandon. I mean obviously people should still live as cleanly and as sustainably as they can manage where they are and with what they have, but like. THAT isn’t the major issue. govts and corporations have deliberately put the onus on yr individual ch...
Want to know how corrupt the pharmaceutical industry is?
hearthashescollection : halftimesharks : See this? This is called Afrezza. It’s an inhaler for diabetic insulin. That’s right. An inhaler. That means no more needles. It’s only for fast acting insulin, but it could still vastly improve the life of a lot of diabetics. Imagine having to constantly prick yourself with needles to keep yourself alive, and then suddenly there’s a new product that could change the whole way you live your life for the better. And here’s the thing: it works. It works really really well. People with diabetes that have been lucky enough to have used it think it’s amazing. But sadly, it’s probably going to end up as a failure because the pharmaceutical company (a French company called Sanofi) that was in charge of marketing it didn’t care enough to actually try. Not only that, but they made it incredibly expensive so hardly anyone could afford it. Most people have never heard of it, and the way things are going, no one else ever will.

Trump Brags To Troops About A Fictional Giant Pay Raise He Got Them
fromacomrade : During his first visit to a combat zone since assuming office nearly two years ago, President Donald Trump couldn’t help but take personal credit for a very generous and fictional pay raise for U.S. troops. The president told service members at al-Asad air base in Iraq that he was proud to secure them a much-needed pay bump of “more than 10 percent” after years of stagnant wages. Many of the troops in attendance may have been surprised to learn they hadn’t seen a pay increase in more than a decade. “Is anybody here willing to give up the big pay raise you just got?” Trump said, asking for a show of hands. “You haven’t gotten one in more than 10 years. More than 10 years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one. I got you a big one.” In fact, military members have seen a pay raise in each of the last 10 years , ranging from 1 percent to 3.9 percent, according to the Defense Department. They even saw pay bumps when other federal workers were subjected to a thre...
battlships : fromacomrade : faeriviera : battlships : fromacomrade : battlships : cherpunchingyourcrotch : dillondean : fromacomrade : fromacomrade : One of the reasons we shouldn’t view broad and directionless anti-Trump sentiment as an unqualified sign of success is because if a Democrat manages to win the presidency in 2020 then most of the liberals are going to go right back to thinking that genocide and empire and ethnonationalism are cool actually so long as their guy is doing it. Search your feelings. You know this to be true. Remember how fuck-off massive the anti-war movement was right up until 2008? And how it all withered up and blew away once the wars became Obama’s wars? History may not repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes. We need to prepare for 2021. Either Trump stays in office, or a Democrat replaces him, and while the latter possibility is certainly less terrible, neither possibility bodes well. And you’re a damned fool if you think that the Democrat who could rep...

little-birb-of-horrors : fromacomrade : In Sines v Kessler, Richard Spencer just filed a bunch of discovery without marking it confidential. This includes texts between him, “Eli Mosley”, and Jason Kessler regarding UTR 1 and UTR 2. These texts are evidence that they planned violence and also show some interesting infighting.

mofromthegut : Intuitive.pub/Media/Relief We are *paying* survivors of severe trauma and hardship to build most urgently needed community frameworks by doing work that is creatively self-healing for their present health and conditions. This, we feel, is the most effective investment of currency: NOT to try to force someone to do work they say they cannot do… …but to invest in paying them to do the very most effective work that emerges from them as a *natural byproduct* of their *innate healing process.* All these efforts are produced by survivors of severe environmental illness and injury, amidst great personal danger and adversity. Your kind words, your care for our lives, and supportive shares with your networks are deeply appreciated. Intuitive.pub/Media/Relief
