With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

Headline: former Lost Prophets frontman Ian Watkins is dead at 48, murdered in prison

"Why was Ian Watkins in prison?
Watkins was serving a 29-year prison sentence at HMP Wakefield in England that began in December 2013, Reuters reported. The month prior, he pleaded guilty to 13 charges, including sexually touching a 1-year-old, making child pornography, and encouraging a fan to abuse her child."

"The 48-year-old was jailed in December 2013 with a further six years on license, after admitting a string of offenses – including the attempted rape of a fan's baby."

But LeeAnn Rimes plays a bitter has-been alcoholic with an axe to grind so I may continue to tune in, for the drama

We'll see how ep2 goes

I regret to inform you that the pilot episode of 911:Nashville was complete ass, trash, dog water

No queer characters & it felt like it was written by someone who has never been to TN or Nashville & just used Google 🚮

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand

(Also, visible tattoos in sk have been a thing for several years, so its not like sk will go from no tattoos to tons of tattoos overnight)

jordan, but spooky 👻🦇🎃 @jbythekilowatt.bsky.social · 21h

I will respond the same way I do with portions of the US: I do not give a fuck. My tattoos/other people's tattoos arent harming anyone

Social acceptance & normalization begins with people actually seeing them on the daily and realizing people with tattoos are just like everyone else lol
