the weed dispensaries should ask if you would like to round up your purchase to donate to PBS. and if you say yes you get to scan a QR code that gives you 30-day free access to the full run of antiques roadshow. this is how drugs can win the war on drugs again.

Hey instead of just canceling your Paramount plus subscription, put that money you were spending to good use by donating to npr and pbs
Only about $1.60 per tax paying us citizen was being spent on public broadcasting per year.
Donating $1.60 per month would make up for the loss of budget from 12 taxpayers. If you donate your paramount plus subscription of $7.99 you are making up for the money spent on it from 60 tax payers per year!
If you had the 12.99 subscription? You are making up for the loss of budget that would have come from nearly 100 people.
If just ten people do a donation of 12.99 per month, that makes up for the taxes of 900+ people. Imagine if 100 people did monthly donations? And that's JUST if you do 12.99$ a month.
Consider donating.
Hell npr has a special bonus service if you do 8$ a month^^^^
Cancel some subscriptions you don't use and do this instead.

Don't know who needs to hear this right now, but if you're not Indigenous, it's not smudging
I don't care if you call it that (which you shouldn't, btw, because it's cultural appropriation), you burning some sage is no more smudging than me pouring myself some wine and eating crackers is me taking communion
Also don't buy or burn white sage, it's being overharvested (almost universally illegally/via poaching) to the point of endangering the plant's continued existence - and to the point where Indigenous people whose nations have historically used it can't because the plant's hold on the environment is too fragile to harvest more of it
This is also to a lesser extent a problem with Palo Santo
Excellent alternatives:
Instead of "smudging," call it "smoke cleansing," which is accurate and non-appropriative
When smoke cleansing, instead of burning white sage or Palo Santo, burn:
common sage (like that grows in your garden/herb box)
rosemary
lavender
cedar
juniper
salt
All of which have long histories of being used for purification - rosemary and salt in particular have a long and well-documented history of use in many parts of Europe

I grew up listening to music that my dad listened to in school in the 1960s and 70s and sometimes you listen to music from then and now and you’re like huh the deeply American sense of loneliness and discontent with the state of this country that’s always just beneath the surface that wells up in you like a slow familiar but no less deadly flood when you’re alone at a bus station or driving alone at night on a country road has existed for a long time huh

there is an insane amount of antisemitism floating around right now.
i just want to say:
this blog loves and supports jewish people.
this blog does NOT conflate the israeli government, or the atrocities it commits, with jewish people.
this blog is disgusted with those who use or express antisemitism.
this blog knows that if someone needs to invoke antisemitism, they do not actually care about helping palestine or the palestinian people.
this blog will do its best to ensure that it remains a safe space for all.

This is the largest mass killing of trans people in recorded history and “constitutes a grave breach of international humanitarian law.” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the strike was intentional without going into further detail.

I’m just saying if Daniel Radcliffe, the literal protagonist of the Harry Potter franchise since the age of ten years old, was able to disavow JK Rowling and move on from the HP universe then actually what the fuck is anyone else’s excuse. There is no one else on the planet who can say their entire childhood was HP more than that guy and he still cared about trans people more than the average tumblr user who says “we’re protesting by making all her characters queer and trans!!” like you can do better. You should do better.

Content Warning: religion and transphobia⚠️
Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ I made a comic reflecting on my church upbringing as an eXvangelical trans person. The Jesus conservative Christians claim to represent looked lot more like many of the LGBTQ+ friends I know and love. Just some food for thought 💖

The thing that separates "alligator alcatraz" from other detainment centers is the pride being taken in it, the openness about what's going to happen there, the merch. The actual interior of the building and the conditions under which detainees will suffer are not different than other ICE detention facilities
The escalation represented by alligator Alcatraz isn't an escalation in the abuse, its an escalation in the scale at which the abuse is inflicted and in the sense of safety fascists feel when openly celebrating the abuse being inflicted

"The US could stop the genocide in Gaza tomorrow!" Yes. As the biggest weapons supplier, the US could stop the genocide. But so could the EU, and that's not getting enough attention.
Israel's economy couldn't survive without the EU, not even for a short time. The EU is Israel’s largest trading partner and the biggest investor in Israel (nearly twice as big as the United States) and the EU is the main destination for Israeli investment.
Firm economic sanctions by the EU would not be some long term pressure builder, they would have immediate effect. The EU could stop the genocide in Gaza tomorrow. They choose not to.

One of the foremost reasons I like solarpunk is that in the mainstream, being eco-friendly is about sacrifice. Don’t buy new things, don’t buy plastic, don’t take unnecessary trips—etc. It’s not sustainable unless you’re a saint. It’s exhausting to abstain from consumerism without having alternatives like the things Solarpunk emphasizes: community, resources held in common, sustainable hobbies like gardening and mending (and all other sorts of repair), free and accessible public transportation, etc. Solarpunk is about creating a world where being eco-friendly is about joy, not deprivation.

You all need to see this deleted scene from S1!
https://youtu.be/aP44Ke4z5-Q?feature=shared
Takes place right after Will's escaped the prison transport vehicle; before we see him take Hannibal to Minnesota.
(Really, really shit quality GIFs, to convince you to actually go and watch the damn thing. Great scene.)
