BEHOLD!!! A NEW PROJECT!!!

I'm getting increasingly frustrated at the fact that I have not seen anybody on here. talk about the state of transgender rights in the state of Iowa. Our governor, Kim Reynolds, has signed a law that removes transgender and non-binary people's civil rights that protect them from being discriminated against when it comes to housing, education, and employment.

Iowa has become the first state to approve this legislation that prevents transgender and non-binary people from being protected under the state's civil rights code. This law, effective July 1st, is all under the guise of protecting people assigned female at birth; keeping transgender people out of bathrooms and locker rooms.

It's aim? To create explicit legal definitions of what it means to be male and female solely based on reproductive organs, which in turn denies that an individual can transition to another gender.

Where is everybody's outrage? Where is the support for trans and non-binary people's lives and rights in a Red state? Where is your fucking compassion for us? I've had it with people living comfortably and cozy in their own worlds, not seeing outside their fucking bubbles and not supporting the rest of their community as our rights crumble right before our eyes.

ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

Chocolate Recall Now Classified As Potentially Deadly, According To The FDA

Here's everything you need to know.

Anyone with a milk allergy needs to be on high alert. In the midst of a flurry of ongoing food recalls, the FDA has updated its initial recall of a handful of Cal Yee Farms' chocolate products to the highest risk level. Originally, the FDA announced a recall of numerous Cal Yee Farm products because they may have contained undeclared milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&C #6, and/or almonds. The recall has now been elevated by the FDA to the most serious level of recall, Class 1, for only a few of the affected products: the company's dark chocolate almonds, dark chocolate apricots, and dark chocolate walnuts because the chocolates contained undeclared milk.

The company budsies, which specializes in making custom stuffed animals and making duplicates of old or lost plushies, is currently offering to recreate the beloved stuffed animal of any kid who lost theirs in the LA wildfire, free of charge.

Their instagram post said to share this, so please spread this around so that families who've lost everything can receive just a little bit more hope in their lives 🥺

With a single word from Netanyahu, the crossing was closed. With a single word, two million people were starved and buried! We are just numbers in the archives of this dark world. How long will this injustice continue? Our lives in Gaza are like those of prisoners. No food, no water, no electricity, no medical treatment. No basic necessities of life.
