There is no low that they will not stoop to.
SCOOP: The Trump administration has instructed employees and grantees not to use U.S. funds to commemorate World AIDS Day — because the observance was started by the World Health Organization.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you're not alone. You're millions of cells united and desperately seeking carcinization.

Become whole. Become crab.

This year, #HoneyBunchesOfHope is going to focus on getting baby formula and hygiene items to donate to shelters and pantries that are helping the people who will be heavily impacted over the next few months. Would you all be willing to help me raise the funds for this instead of the blankets?

Seriously, if you have a Sikh gurdwara in your area please let people know about this. We have at least one here in Detroit Metro that I know of. Bonus is that Sikhs are, on the whole, extremely rad people.
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.

No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.
A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

Here is a quick post about writing villains, and not drawing inspiration from our real-life villains, since they're... not fun.

Also a look into why the current Mel Walker story I'm working on may be the last.

In ‘14, a NY Daily News photog heard about the death of Eric Garner on police radio transmissions. He rushed out and found the guy who took the video.

Now, the NYPD is moving to encrypt all radio transmissions. The @nydnunion.bsky.social stands behind a bill to keep those transmissions public.

We gave an entire generation PTSD by letting their schools get shot up, repeatedly, and teaching them that they'd have to save themselves because no one else is coming for them. It's not a wonder they're rioting. They're so fucking sick of the violence.
