Please help if you are able. Bex is wonderful and community self defense and solidarity building is necessary in these times.
Went to a whistle kit making party.
I am now out of lanyards, keyrings, zines, and have a couple handful of whistles left. The group made at least 2,000 kits in 2 hours.
I need about $200 to replace everything.

You're right and you should keep saying it.

I think this is a rudimentary test for demand based pricing (surge pricing) and we should call it what it is. And we should hate it.

So there was just a very loud and sustained "Fuck ICE" chant during a pro wrestling show on live primetime television, if you wanna get a sense of the vibe shift.

Ahahaha cos that's JUST what you want to see on the CPU cover for a Mac Pro rescue. That rectangle of dust is surrounding the magnet behind the aluminium to clip it in place.
So it's probably some kind of iron/drilling/milling dust.

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

I really need to get on figuring out the movies for this month's marathon.
Unfortunately we've already watched Crouching Tiger and House of Flying Daggers which are the best romance movies in the genre imo, though I could do just short MA movie stars.
