Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

i have a lot of complicated feelings about my past as a TFA corps member, but getting emails from them encouraging me to sign up for "AI in Education" sessions is fucking wild.

one of the best things about the fated mates discord is that people are so careful to inform everyone when they were reading something other than romance.
Every time, it's like:
War and Peace (not a romance)
Tom Lake (not a romance)
The Ministry of Time (not a romance)
lol, it's so great.

ANYWHO. Let's get back to granting wishes. For the final day of this big push, I want to do something a little different. There are four kids who want sewing machines. Considering all that sewing has brought to my life, I really want to help these kids. It's a total of $893.
🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇

ha, I found a kid who wanted beyblades, which is a toy that Lil Romance loved when he was that age. He came home from his first day of third grade buzzing about a new toy he wanted, which sounded like he was saying BABE LEGS, and I was like, whoa the patriarchy really gets 'em early, huh.

impressive to watch a huge industry go very swiftly from “widely popular and largely trusted” to “widely considered to be as or even more evil than the oil companies that occasionally spill tons of toxic cute-animal-killing goo into crucial waterways” though

Dear God, hope you got the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God
Can't believe in You
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God
Can't believe in You
The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
