1) any stretching is better than no stretching

2) any vegetable is better than no vegetable

3) statistically you will never be the worst person at anything, there is always someone in the world who is worse at stuff than you are

praying for everyone Black in Belfast rn. hella Black ppl lost they homes as a result of this antiblack terrorism.

[bideogaymes]

like ok allegedly the white people in Northern Ireland terrorizing mainly Black people and poc are British loyalists and not “real Irish” but that video stating that is showing more concern for the white Irish people currently hiding in their homes “in fear” of harm, while real life Black people are actively being harmed lmao like??? get up! if you say you’re not like these white supremacists than show up in defense for the Black people currently being mobbed by people who look like you!

paying liberal lip service does nothing but make sure history doesn’t remember you as the “actual bad guys”, just the cowardly bystanders & it damn sure doesn’t make any moves to protect anyone Black!

For a slightly more concrete action, I looked for a charity that helps refugees from Africa in NI. This one is a certified charity, which is my preference:

Horn of Africa People’s Aid Northern Ireland

This one seems attested legit, but they explicitly state they are not a charity:

Anaka Women’s Collective

For HAPANI:

The charity is listed on an official government registry.

The charity hasn’t updated their Insta in a little over a year, nor their Facebook, but I don’t know enough about their operations to tell if that says something about whether they’re currently active vs. whether social media was deemed a poor use of limited resources.

The charity is associated with explicitly religious events and concerns. I couldn’t find a comparable charity that doesn’t have explicitly religious affiliations (the next best was Christian), but I’d like to remind people that religion is often a huge part of community cohesion for immigrants. But if you feel strongly about that, I will only say that this is one of the few charities I found, with admittedly limited time, that didn’t have an all-white board. So, while I don’t know where they stand on things like LGBTQIA+ issues (and the silence may be “telling” or it may be the result of navigating more complex pressures, there isn’t enough data to conclude anything), I personally still think donating here is better than doing nothing at all, absent any other option.

If people know more or know better places to donate, please help.

Nigel Farage has spent the last decade and more loudly blaming immigrants/foreigners for all of the UK's woes. He told people to "be filled with rage" a few days before this. He has done more to cause this than any other person in the country.

If there was ever a time to talk about "stochastic terrorism", it is now, and explicitly about Farage. He told people to be angry at immigrants, and this happened.

Of course, the various media outlets owned by rich people wanting Farage's other politics (lower taxes, less regulation) will not point this out.

(And don't go saying "oh look, Loyalists doing the same shit they did during the Troubles" - unless those masked thugs are all 40+, they weren't doing anything during the Troubles except maybe learning their ABCs.)

This is a lot to unpack

ohhhh shit. target is recalling their up & up baby wipes (fragrance free & fresh cucumber scented) because they're contaminated with Burkholderia cepacia complex and Burkholderia gladioli, multiple people are reporting discoloration & infections. i just got a call about it cuz i had purchased those but i've already gone through them 😅 so no refund for me. but im fine. if you have these they're saying you need to immediately stop using them and bring them back to target for a full refund. this bacteria can cause life threatening infections in children/infants and people with compromises immune systems (ESPECIALLY cystic fibrosis!!) and i know lots of other chronically ill people follow me!!!!

[decompose1]

Hold on i should've been more specific.

First: THIS RECALL IS NOT STATE SPECIFIC. IT IS NATIONWIDE.

here are the specific products and dates:

If you use baby wipes go check them NOW. A lot of Burkholderia bugs are antibiotic resistant so infections can be really difficult to treat.

honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."

this trend of shitting on peer-reviewed academic studies in favor of tweeting “we already knew this was happening” is so soul-crushing. not to be an elitist cunt, but we have got to open the schools again. people genuinely seem to have forgotten that their personal lived experience isn’t indicative of the larger population, AND IF IT IS…… then you need researchers to support these assertions from a relevant data pool instead of a blog post from 2013 💀
