If avoiding a painful and disfiguring rash - and potentially permanent nerve pain and nerve damage - isn’t enough for you, multiple studies have also shown that shingles vaccination can lower dementia risk, possibly up to 20%
In the US: If you're 50 or older (or 19/older & immunocompromised), please get vaxxed against shingles. It's no joke.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

"You want a movement, I hear. We all do. But the question is never “will somebody do something?” They are. We are. Our job is to notice, and to ensure that none of our flames burn out."

Also our job is to join in, where we can, how we can, with what we have.

Just read the article and saw the photos and all I have to say is that there has to be a reckoning for this.
“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

White people pretend they can't pronounce MAM-DA-NI but have no problem pronouncing Krzyzewski. Suspect AF.
Another reason to continue not giving your money to Chick Fil A.
At a Chick-fil-A in Augusta, Georgia, a Black Clover PD officer was denied a free meal while his white colleagues received theirs — same uniforms and same line. The store manager called it a mistake and said it was "perceived" as a racial incident, but the officer believes it was a racial issue.
I’m having trouble with it today too. I wonder if they’ve been overloaded with new users?!

Tidal is a great replacement option and you can use Tune My Music to transfer all your playlists and songs from Spotify in minutes. Fuck ICE.
Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.
