Racket puts out nothing but heaters and I extra love this one! I said I'd probably cancel my sub once I moved from the cities but I just can't help it! They're so good! Subscription dollars well spent!

I forget where I read (I think Against Technoableism by Ashley Shew?) the thought that a harm against disabled ppl in our society is the loss of privacy/information because we need to give up so much to get things we need to survive and I think about that all the time

This story is wild and an important read. Also a great reason to plug donating to propublica! One of my favorite recurring donations every month because they do such incredible work!
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.
