with so many ppl boycotting amazon & target, & with so many ppl are struggling (more than usual) to get enough food, I don't understand why more grocery stores don't offer online "gift registries" for ppl
(it would also make getting donations for soup kitchens & community fridges SO much easier)

No Spotify unwrapped for me this year. (I dumped them for running fascist ice ads) But I'm pretty sure my top artists would be #Hozier as his discography on shuffle is my go-to for traveling ♿🎵💜

Tucson residents fought back against Amazon’s secretive plans to build a data center in the desert — and won.
But now, in a blatant attempt to override the City Council and the will of the people, Amazon and the project’s developer is pushing ahead anyway.
