I'm at a diner for breakfast. There's a post-club girl here in yesterday's makeup and sweats. Her friend says "Oh my God it's the 31st." This girl lifts her head off the table and says '..... of what?'

The problem isn't the over designed twinks or the silly horse girls or the goofy cookies it's the gambling. You guys know it's the gambling right? I need to you all to know the problem with gatcha games is that they're just normalizing gambling addictions to younger generations.

Imagine visiting a neighbour's apartment for the first time and everything they own seems to have a label sticker on it, labeling what it is. Like everything. You're sitting down at their table for coffee when you finally gather up the courage to ask why, exactly, does their toaster have a label on it that says "toaster".
And they just shrug and nonchalantly explain that oh yeah, my roommate is an immigrant, new to the country and still learning the language, so I figured that it'd be useful to have little everyday vocabulary scattered all over in places where they'll see them every day.
So you're relieved that there's a sensible explanation but kind of incredulous because these things are fucking everywhere. You noticed a doorknob that has a sticker saying "doorknob" on it, and the table you two are sitting at has separate labels for "table", "tabletop" and "table leg" on it. Is the labelling some kind of a long-time hobby they keep doing or did they do all of this all at once?
And they laugh like ohh of course not, no way I could've done all of this myself. I let the other neighbour's kids do it. I borrowed two different label makers from a friend, handed one to each kid and told them that the one who can label more things around the apartment wins.

I don't usually talk about local news but this is urgent. I'm sharing my friend's thread and their ko-fi for donations to help with victims and aid: pitikhong on kofi. I can verify that my friend is a trusted source, we know each other irl.
ACAB, every single one.
edit: my friend is switching to donating to LBH instead as YLBHI is closed for donations. They'll still be accepting donations and directing them to LBH but you can also donate directly to LBH's paypal here.

🇺🇸massive list of recent recalls and product safety warnings of power banks and power stations in the US🇺🇸
this is a list of relatively recent power bank and electric power station recalls and product safety warnings from the consumer product safety commission (CPSC) in the US, and some in canada! portable devices that you charge up with an outlet and then take with to charge devices on the go. most recalls are due to an overheating risk, which have resulted in a ton of injuries and fires. power banks from reputable brands, even with normal use, can be dangerous. I (rune) am not an expert on anything relevant to this, but the information on this post comes directly from the CPSC.
this list does NOT include items like charging cables, wireless phone chargers, AC adapters, chargers for e-bikes or scooters, general devices recalled for defective batteries, or gasoline-powered generators. otherwise this post would be way fucking longer. there have been thousands of recalls over the past few years. there are a few non-power bank entries that seemed close enough to include at the time. there is a chance that recalls or product safety warnings that fit this criteria got missed by me. the CPSC website has not been working right, and holy shit have I (rune!) been trying.
this list includes the title of the recall/warning (which links directly to the relevant CPSC page), whether there were injuries or deaths reported, the reason the device is getting recalled/warned, the date it got recalled/warned, the estimated units sold, descriptions and model numbers, where the devices were sold, how much they were sold for, and a list of reported associated incidents.
power banks typically have some kind of marking on them. it might be in really tiny letters, but take a look at your power bank and see if you can at least see a brand name or model number somewhere. then you can search this post more easily!
listings have been shortened. to see images of the recalled items, or to see the rest of the recall, or to learn more about how to qualify for a refund or replacement, click through the recall link relevant to you. some of these devices were also recalled in other parts of the world, but I am focusing on CPSC information for this post.
something really important before I get started: throwing these devices in the trash means risking someone else's safety. the CPSC begs you to find out how to correctly and safely dispose of recalled batteries. how you need to do this varies by location. one of the CPSC notes included on a lot of these recalls:
Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.
the goal of this post is to help prevent injuries and deaths. I trust you to do what it takes to dispose of these properly and responsibly.
also, reporting unsafe products saves lives. if you know of an unsafe product in the US, do NOT keep it a secret. report unsafe products and view other people's reports here. link includes reports of other power banks and power stations that have not yet been recalled.
all that said, this list is LONG and it took me a hell of a long time to make and format. first up is a list of recalls ordered by date with most recent recalls first, followed by product safety warnings (unsafe product but company refuses to issue a recall) with the same sorting. for the sake of this post being less likely to lag your device, there are no images under the cut. here we go!

My therapist, who specializes in adults with ADHD, recently told me that all of her clients need a three day crashout period after a big life change. Finish the semester? Crashout. Change jobs? Crashout. Go on a really cool, really relaxing vacation? Crashout the moment you get home.
It's true of literally all of her clients. She works with a lot of them to put systems in place so that their crashouts are only three days. This includes the high-powered execs who travel regularly for work. It does not matter how successful or high functioning they are - they have ADHD, and a crashout is just part of the process of living with it.
I'm sharing this with all you ADHD friends out there, just in case you (like me) start shaming yourself if your crashout lasts more than one day. It turns out three days is kind of the best case scenario. Be kind to yourselves!

I was born with a vulva, though little other "associated" stuff. And we found pretty early on that I had a prostate despite this. This is in my medical data. I wanted to get a prostate exam given I am starting to get into the age where prostate cancer is a danger. I was refused because, quote "I cannot have a prostate".
A friend of mine who works in intersex adjacent research said to his knowledge it is not even that rare. He said he has seen several people who otherwise present as typical perisex female with prostates or how he called it pseudo-prostates. But there is literally no research on this. No literature. No nothing. I believe him, because he is literally doing the research. But I am frustrated I cannot read up on this. And that doctor's won't just do the exam.
this is intersexism.
intersex people face medical neglect because doctors don't believe in their anatomy. it can be dangerous.
and the lack of data is also very upsetting. especially data without extreme levels of pathologization.
i hope you'll be able to get your exam.
