Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Knoxville has a really great gf fried chicken place called Disco Chicken in a food hall with lots of gf options, and a good gf bakery Benefit Your Life on the other side of town. I love the gf ramen at FinTwo in Knoxville as well.

Near Dollywood is Gatlinburg, where there are weird little places to shop, the Wonderworks museum, a Ripley's Aquarium. It is a fun area, very touristy. Nashville has a lot of good gluten free stuff. I love Sunflower Bakehouse for vegan and gf breakfast.

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

This kid was not some grizzled old dude, mired in decades of "class only" nonsense. But already they had internalized that a response to discrimination was more "divisive" than the initial discrimination itself.

This is deeply ingrained, and unity isn't on the backs of those being excluded.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless โ€” a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class โ€” is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you donโ€™t like the results, put it back

Did Republicans ever once stop and worry about offending or scaring off left-leaning voters? No, they said they want to put us in camps, and then they won the election

Like? There's no such thing as "good" trans people and "bad" trans people, there's just trans people, and you either support us all, or you don't.

You cannot support and affirm one persons transness and not support another without inherently legitimising some aspect of transphobic rhetoric.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Careful! A lot of restaurants are putting pancake batter in their pancakes, in order to give them a more pleasing taste and consistency. It's a neat trick, but it means the pancakes aren't gluten-free

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe thereโ€™s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful mindsโ€”and that theyโ€™re a part of that class.
