Going to need someone to start doing an existential dread levels forecast. Same as they do pollen levels however, reflecting the current state of the dissolution of democracy and the amount that my tummy will hurt in proportion to that.

I feel sick. This deeply saddens me. The horror we allow the broken men who lead us to commit. The direction this could easily go. If the world didn’t flinch from our most recent atrocities, I’m afraid of what that means we will allow to happen now.

Abortion and trans rights have always been the testing ground for systematically denying personhood, and powerful assholes have escalated and will continue to escalate violence from there.

😡😡😡

I have a number of friends who left working in coffee to go work for Block, many of whom got laid off in this round. St. Louis is going to take a massive hit from this.

I love him so much

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

Volunteer — Stand With Minnesota

No matter where you live, if you have any capacity to volunteer, we have a lot of unpaid folks helping administer rent and skymiles donations, and we need more support.

Capitalism. Capitalism is terrible.

Started during COVID quarantine era for people-not-congregating-in-public reasons, and presumably when companies realized they could get away with not bringing it back and they would save on staffing costs...

'This Is Endometriosis’ just won a BAFTA - here's where to watch it - RUSSH ‘This Is Endometriosis’ has won a BAFTA, shining a global spotlight on the chronic condition. Here’s where to watch it in Australia.

A short film about endometriosis has won a BAFTA, bringing much needed visibility to the disabling condition.

Endometriosis and adenomyosis robbed me of years of my life.

Countless surgeries, blood transfusions and hospital stays.

Doctors saying it was “no big deal”.

It’s a very big deal:

learning abt endometriosis is like. oh it's just Painful Period Disease. ok well actually it's extra tissue/tumors overgrowing thru your body and it can adhere your organs together + kill you. and it's invisible on all scans so they have to cut you open to confirm you have it. are you fucking joking

Believe you me, they make overalls best proportioned for a person who has literally never existed.

I go to the thrift store wearing leggings and try on pants in the aisle, since none of the stores have changing rooms anymore. *Screams internally*

Also this has NEVER been true for women's sizing, which is either a made up number (they make 00 sized pants) or measurements-ish.

just a reminder that you already know everything you need to know about the state of the union and unless you will enjoy watching it there's a million other things you can do. you don't have to be "in the loop." the loop is a trash place to be tbh

Unfortunately there's a rabbit hole you can go down, depending on the brand, about smaller companies getting bought out by conglomerates and manufacturing and materials changing. And even if you start with a big corp there's a chance the product has taken a dip in quality/ switched manufacturers

We’re 40 percent away from fully funding our campaign supporting our recently laid-off coworkers if you’re able to help or share with others y’all, please and thanks

ICE Out For Good Funding Fight Weekly Phonebank · Indivisible Our communities are being terrorized by masked federal agents. They’re teargassing babies, kidnapping our neighbors, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles, and killing innocent people....

TODAY: Let’s turn up the heat on Republicans who are demanding more money for the regime’s secret police. Help us contact voters in key states and connect them with their GOP senators to demand that ICE’s terror tactics be stopped for good with the DHS funding bill.

New Jersey lawmakers don’t play. The Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals and Communities Empowered (FUCK ICE) Act is going to be voted on next week.

Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor Hello Friends of Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor! Many of our neighbors in Minneapolis are being targeted based on the color of their skin, their accent, or their country of origin. From a healthcare standpoint, this is leading to very scary outcomes, as patients are terrified to leave home and are foregoing necessary care in an effort to stay safe. For moms and babies, medical professionals scramble to meet these needs and to ensure patient safety. As neighbors and community members, we want to ensure these moms and babies have their needs met in terms of supplies, personal care items, and infant and toddler items. While it's a far cry from a baby shower, we are doing our best to ensure that our neighboring mamas have what they need in times of massive distress. All items purchased on this list will be delivered to me and then immediately sent out into the community for maximum impact. On behalf of all the mama and baby teams, we so appreciate your love and generosity.

Black image with white text and white line drawing of a parent holding a baby. Text reads: "Mama + Baby donations needed. All items with an asterisk must be unused. Other items may be gently used. These items will go to immediate homes and be appreciated. [heart emoji] Thank you! ITEMS NEEDED: diapers (size 0-6)*, baby wipes*, pacifiers*, teething items*, free and clear detergent, baby shampoo, baby-safe lotion, infant clothing (all sizes), infant hats, baby blankets, burp cloths, swaddlers, hands-free baby carriers, breastfeeding guards*, feeding pillows, maternity pillows, belly bands, nipple cream*, pimps, infant safe toys, pack + play, epsom salt."

We're seeing a drop off in newborn donations in Minneapolis. Birth workers are seeing small/early babies due to stress/food insecurity—ICE has not stopped—families still in desperate need of support. If you're able, here is a wishlist compiled by folks doing mutual aid

I've noticed this place as I've driven by, but now I know I need to make a stop!

It wasn’t so long ago that CNN sat down for a serious conversation with these guys. One of them is Pete Hegseth’s pastor.

Pretending these assholes are still ‘fringe’ is a dangerous mistake

The invisible toll of caregiving The task of caring for loved ones often falls on women. Over time, it can affect their health, too.

I love working in a nonprofit newsroom and partnering with other local publications & organizations. I published a story about The Invisible Toll of Caregiving in this state, and 3 other newspapers (including my hometown Fort Wayne Journal Gazette!) co-ran it. mirrorindy.org/caregivers-h...

About halfway thru the Top Model Netflix doc and I DO NOT recommend watching it. They're rehashing and re-airing all of the most traumatizing moments and the people who made the show are all unrepentant and unapologetic. It quickly becomes clear how predatory the show was.

Troop 6000

It’s once again Girl Scout cookie season so it’s time for me remind everyone to please consider buying from NYC’s Girl Scout Troop 6000, which is entirely made up of girls living in NYC homeless shelters 🙏❤️
