Starving people right before Thanksgiving is actually diabolical on every level imaginable. It's also the kind of cruelty people don't forget.

excellent thread on how most people are not exposed to the hateful side of people like charlie kirk and jordan peterson + the misinfo both sides of the isle push in the news
reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

been feeling extremely competent lately. diving deep into public health principles is giving me the scientific foundation i’ve always needed. starting to believe i may actually have a future in substance use research or policy.

this article by donya abu sitta, a medical student in gaza, speaks of students still taking classes while they starve and doctors performing surgery with nothing. my abstract understanding of this topic was painful, but hearing these details.. absolutely devastating www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...
Medicine is being invented in Gaza
As medical students in Gaza, we are taught how to save lives with nothing and how to make impossible decisions.

remember this infographic with anti-carceral warm lines? **one of the organizations on there needs our help!** wildflower alliance’s co-founder was fired by the board of western mass training consortium. it looks like they are attempting to push WFA towards a corporate framework. this began when

In 1984, Norma Jean Almodovar sat in a Los Angeles jail cell after leaving her LAPD job to become a sëx worker.
That arrest didn’t silence her. It sparked a lifetime of activism to expose police hypocrisy and fight for sëx worker rights.

Sex work requires myriad skills + most sex workers are gig workers = you can support sex workers even without buying hole or pole.
I know editors, tailors, graphic designers, leather workers, bartenders, computer programmers, cooks, tutors, and nannies who also do sex work as a supplemental income.

grateful i checked reddit today because i managed to catch a kid who recently became homeless posting on one of my subreddits and he DM’d me after i commented. really hope he will accept some help before he turns 18 so he can take advantage of all of the resources exclusively available to teenagers.

i’ve admired buffalo resilience’s harm reduction and community work since i first arrived here, but the fact their board is all cis white men is disturbing. harm reduction orgs should be aware of the importance of diversity and representation of the people they serve. especially right now.

Let's stop saying "don't give homeless people money, they will just spend it on drugs." If you choose to be compassionate and give, release yourself from the need to control what someone does with your generosity and kindness.
