What I wouldn’t give to meet even one other aspec person in real life.

Asexuality and aromanticism being defined as "little to no sexual/romantic attraction" is crazy to me. Imagine if they redefined being a gay man as "little to no attraction to women" and you had to, like, figure out for yourself that liking men was a part of it.

Personally, I define my aroaceness not as a lack of romantic or sexual attraction, but as an orientation towards relationships that are neither romantic nor sexual. Redefining my orientation this way has helped me find a lot of peace I didn't have before.

This is insane what is happening in Kansas.

They just—took away an entire population’s valid IDs. With a stroke of a pen. No grace period. No chance for anyone to get their IDs “fixed” in time, not that they should have had to in the first place. They even made it illegal for people to drive themselves to the DMV to get a new ID. That’s insane y’all. That is dystopian level madness. It is petty and cruel and literally dehumanizing.

They have also invalidated their birth certificates, thus jeopardizing their ability to prove citizenship and vote. It’s voter suppression on top of everything else.

They wanted to make an entire population into criminals with a stroke of a pen and that’s what they did.

And the rest of the country just… hasn’t noticed. No one cares. There’s no headlines. Nothing on the news. Because it’s Kansas. Because it’s trans people.

But if it can happen somewhere in this country, it can happen anywhere. And if it can happen to trans people, it can happen to you.

Hey folks,

So, 6 weeks in, many of the pop up food distribution networks helping get groceries to immigrant families trapped in their homes because of ICE have been disassembled by ICE, or run out of funds, or run out of people.

Because of that, the one I volunteer with sometimes, which I will personally vouch for and which is an escalation of a longstanding free food network, has taken in helping more and more families.

And they have about one week left of funds.

It’s all volunteers, and the space is donated, but they’re running out of money for buying food for the bags. And they do a good job getting things cheap and offering culturally specific options, and I really want them to keep going.

If you can, please donate, and if you can’t donate, consider spreading the word?

Weirdly, everytime I see a reference to the ICE List link being blocked, it never includes the link to the list. Click here.

thank you for posting the link.

today is the one-year anniversary of Brian Thompson's shooting, so this is a friendly reminder that Luigi Mangione is innocent until proven guilty and that, hot as he may be, he's still Just Some Guy who's life has been ruined over the last year in a high-publicized trial for a crime that he pleaded innocent to

[pinkrangerv]

Also your reminder that:

Faking handwriting is easy, especially if you have time to prepare the 'confession'.

Guns are mass-produced and cannot actually be identified beyond a brand if you only have a bullet.

Facial matching via any kind of LLM or probability calculator is very unlikely to be actually viable.

Planting evidence is really fucking easy.

Fake IDs: also easy if you're a cop, because your department already arrested someone who knows where the good IDs get made.

When someone has a really important reason to think something is true ("If I found the shooter, I'l get paid enough to get out of poverty"), your brain will helpfully provide reasons to think it's true.

The above list is actually the majority of 'evidence' the cops have on Mr. Mangione, so...this ain't actually the shooter anyway. Not unless the responding PD has some new luck superpower and should be banned from Vegas.

Remember: Sir Conan Doyle had a story claiming you could turn humans into apes. Just because it looked cool in Sherlock Holmes doesn't mean handwriting or bullet analysis are actually scientifically valid.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

[catmask]

this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back

additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you

[daftpatience]

useful terminology for different kinds of clothing shapes :)

[cutabello]

here are more terms! these are all from enérie. it is a really good blog that has lots of fashion terminology and it's a good mix of menswear and womenswear! they also have a book as well compiling all their diagrams. you could also look into getting a visual fashion dictionary for terms as well!

[innerchildabortionclinic]

every time I hear about stranger things I just remember talking about how the show snowballed into red scare rhetoric when it was originally the US government that was the villain, and everyone's excuse was "well it takes place during the reagan era" 🙄

[innerchildabortionclinic]

you know the red scare refers to propaganda campaigns and not like...ACTUAL evil communist conspiring?

[innerchildabortionclinic]

STRANGEST THING IS I COULDN'T KEEP WATCHING AFTER THIS

There are only around 1,500 native Cherokee speakers left, and most of them are elders

Little Cherokee Seeds is a program where mothers and babies spend all day with first language Cherokee speakers, speaking nothing but Cherokee, so that the babies become a new generation of native speakers. They're also teaching traditional skills and mothering practices to the mothers to pass on.

This is so so important for the survival of the language. These babies are on track to being fluent first language speakers, and they will be able to keep the language going for another lifetime.

I recommend checking out the little cherokee seeds facebook page!!
