Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.
@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

Does anyone (with personal experience) have advice on how best to support a loved one who is going to prison soon? I’m doing what I can but it feels hollow given the magnitude of what she’s facing.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Hey can you please reshare this?
We are going to need as much help as possible, I am already maxing out my available funds to help get this move done with Charlie, but we still need a little help to get their things out of storage. I am currently at my limit. 😩

Y’all, things are dire since my car has been stolen a week before our move. We were counting on having it. Things have been really rough & being on disability, which I’ve been on since my lymphoma diagnosis, limits my budget drastically. If you can help or share I’d be grateful.

Amidst a surge/shortage, don’t lose sight of who gets prioritized… Who’s humanity/dignity gets acknowledged and taken care of, while others are discarded/dehumanized.

You don’t always have to “pick a side” in international conflicts. Sometimes (most times, really) there isn’t really a clear “good guy” and “bad guy”.
It’s okay to sit with that discomfort instead of picking a winner like it’s a sports game.

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.
We came to LA as refugees from the USSR in 1991. Life wasn’t easy, but we persevered and, I dare say, came to contribute something of worth to this nation.

This is a denial of *individual* assistance for damage to homes and property, not public assistance for state/local government costs. Unprecedented.
Trump refused to send disaster aid to Chicago after 2 devastating storms
The destruction caused by the summer storms was enough that past presidents likely would have approved requests for federal assistance, former FEMA officials said.

Nora has come up with a great new product: glass wreaths! Not in my budget currently, but if one mysteriously arrived at my door I wouldn’t say no. Also, some of the $ is going to a harm reduction program.
Happy Saturday everyone! I'm a fused glass artist specializing in jewelry. This winter I'm branching into wreaths that make great decorations for walls, windows & Christmas trees.
I sell at nora.jewelry.
I'm donating 10% of this weekend's sales to Distribute Aid's harm reduction toolkit program.

A “joint situational information report” from the FBI and the New York police department (NYPD), dated 28 August 2025, quoted from a chat on Signal, the encrypted messaging app, and also characterized the court watchers as “anarchist violent extremist actors.”

This is hilarious. And unsurprising for all of us who are trained in the humanities.
STEM only quantitative supremacists don't have a clue about the vast fields of knowledge that are *very* relevant to the things that are possible and the things they don't know aren't possible that they want to do.

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

You know how whenever you get trolled on here or even if someone’s just being a jerk, people say “block ‘em” because that’s practically the only safeguard here?
Yeah so anyway I did that & now I have a new stalker because of how that person reacted to being blocked.
They have dozens of accounts.
