Get Thee To A Library!

Need something to do this summer? Or anytime? Visit your local public library! These institutions are pillars of education and accessibility to free resources for our communities and now more than ever, we need to protect them. The best thing you can do is VISIT. Get a free library card, borrow some books, attend a free event, or just go there and chill for a while. The more traffic and use these spaces see, the easier it is for them to maintain their funding.

Want a book? Ask a librarian! Need information or public resources? Ask a librarian! Can't find your local library? Try these helpful locators!

She's also publicly stated that she believes that anyone who reads her books or watches her shows and films does so because they explicitly agree with her political views.

There's no "agree to disagree" with her work. Every time you pick up her work or talk about it you are saying to her "I agree with you Joanne" whether you like it or not.

Honestly being overworked makes people unobservant and passive and it literally kills people every day. People don’t seem to realize that an overworked nurse might not notice your sepsis symptoms and a tired truck driver might not notice your car when he’s merging into the lane. Failing to protect worker’s rights impacts nearly everyone

THIS. I want workers to be treated well for their own sake, but I NEED workers to be treated well for MY sake. We have got to stop glorifying eroding margin into the negative zones.

5th person confirmed to be cured of HIV

Researchers are announcing that a 53-year-old man in Germany has been cured of HIV.

Referred to as “the Dusseldorf patient” to protect his privacy, researchers said he is the fifth confirmed case of an HIV cure. Although the details of his successful treatment were first announced at a conference in 2019, researchers could not confirm he had been officially cured at that time.

Today, researchers announced the Dusseldorf patient still has no detectable virus in his body, even after stopping his HIV medication four years ago.

A twice-yearly shot could help end AIDS, but only if it can get to everyone who needs it

A twice-yearly shot has shown to be 100 percent effective in preventing HIV infections in a study of women, and published results show it wo

Between that and new preventative shot, we might be able to eradicate HIV in the near future.

"In the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission." Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. There's only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.

They need to remove the "convicted felon" option from job applications, and anything else that requires you to say whether or not you have a criminal history. Because CLEARLY if we can have a convicted felon in the white house, then convicted felons everywhere should be allowed to get jobs, should be allowed to vote, etc.

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself

Over the next 4+ years if I hear any Trump supporter tries to be like, "we didn't think he was being serious" when he villainizes and destroys a minority group or women. Imma be pissed.

Naw fam you own that shit. You knew what he wanted and voted for it. None of y'all get to fain ignorance. Not one.
