Coming in to volunteer, found out that someone broke into the warehouse where we store donations and stole a bunch of donated sleeping bags and jeans, with cold weather around the corner.

Anyone able to help us out:

there's only so much you can move through the air at 575 miles per hour without burning up half a gas station's worth of fuel per passenger. Planes will always be narrow aluminium tubes, we will always have to deal with humans in close proximity, and that includes human children.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

someone who's not cooperating with the aircrew can't sit in the emergency exit row. that's an industry wide safety regulation. they even said that if he grabbed a business class seat they wouldn't have to divert, but he wanted to cause an incident so he could film it for tictoc

many such cases.

Kashmir Hill @kashhill.bsky.social · 3d

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

I have never in my life seen anything like what is going on between the Broadview police force and ICE. These federal agents just do not give a shit about any kind of back the blue solidarity. Gas, verbal abuse, time wasting.

this might be fun to try. i just use broth or dashi instead of the dried anchovies, but there's a reason these are nicknamed "drug eggs" in Korea

Eggs in soy broth (Gyeran-jangjorim)

This is my version of Korean gyeran-jangjorim, which is traditionally a recipe where hardboiled eggs are braised in soy sauce. Braising involves cooking in soy sauce over low heat for a long time, but...

how are you good if you're afraid of affirming basic human rights? ask yourself also why the republicans are still competitive. probably in some part to cowardly attitudes by democrats like that

in my suburb there are trans flags on every fourth house, it's not an inevitability. sounds like you need to do the work of organizing and raising the consciousness of your neighbors instead of complaining that someone is doing the right thing

a bigot is tautologically not an ally

The universe is too fucking fabulous for capitalism, y'all!

2. Andromeda (20 min)
3. Pac-Man Nebula (15 min)

The universe is basically just hydrogen, dark matter, and dark energy. Plus trillions upon trillions of perturbations lol

North America Nebula. Lots of red because of all of the hydrogen gas.

this thread is pretty horrifying. here's how it ends:

UnicornsRockUK @unicornsrockuk.bsky.social · 1d

Here's a thought. Is there a trans organisation or group that goes around visiting trans prisoners? Checking on them and their safety etc?

I fear more of us are going to end up on the wrong side of UK law in the future.

If she'd been married and lied about being single or if she'd been a convicted abuser and lied about that she would not be going to jail.

People lie all the time before sex, during sex and after sex.

If you're trans, that's a crime.

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.

She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

Trans woman jailed after hiding male genitalia during sex with man

Ciara Watkin, 21, concealed she had male genitalia and performed sex acts on a man she had been on a date with - before later texting him 'I'm trans, I'm sorry I didn't tell you'

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
