Unless you want to live a in a world full of food poisoning, inaccurate labeling and unsubstantiated nutritional claims, you need the FDA, along with government agencies like the USDA and EPA, to set regulations protecting the general population for food-related atrocities. Read more

Carrie’s favorite possession was a giant Prozac pill that she bought many years ago. A big pill,“ Todd explained. “She loved it, and it was in her house, and Billie and I felt it was where she’d want to be.

You’re gonna deal with relapse, it’s a natural part of the process. Some days, do you only have strength for are the little steps? Good, because every step on the way is progress. And if you ever end up crying behind closed doors, hear me: Losing a battle doesn’t keep you from winning the war.

And remember, this is 2016. The government itself starves Native Americans who just protect their own land.
The media is silent, as usual.
God bless these warriors.

A press release from Greenpeace Thursday says the largest bank in Norway, DNB, sold its assets in the Dakota Access pipeline.
Greenpeace USA spokesperson Lilian Molina said: “The writing’s on the wall for the Dakota Access pipeline. People power is winning. The news that DNB has sold its assets and is considering terminating its loans is a victory for the water protectors who are fighting to stop this disaster of a project. All financial institutions with a stake in the pipeline must quickly realize that financing this project is toxic. It would be smart for them to get out ahead of the growing movement of customers looking to divest from banks that finance the destruction of our planet and ignore Indigenous rights and sovereignty. Citigroup, TD Securities, Wells Fargo, SunTrust, and the other banks backing this project should see this as a sign to get on the right side of history.”
Every one who has made any true effort whether be getting the word out there, donations or going out there, out voices are being heard. Let’s continue to make this happen!
I confront [white guilt] every year, about a month into my course on racism, among [white] students who come to me in tears because they cannot deal with the racism that goes on in their families or their home towns or their student residences. Their tears are the result of genuine anguish, care, and a desire to learn and to change. I confront similar attitudes among my colleagues, and I am similarly gratified by their concern. But those who experience white guilt need to learn three things: 1. People of colour are generally not moved by their tears, and may even see those tears as a self-indulgent expression of white privilege. It is after all a great privilege to be able to express one’s emotion openly and to be confident that one is in a cultural context where one’s feelings will be understood. 2. Guilt is paralysing. It serves no purposes; it does no good. It is not a substitute for activism. 3. White guilt is often patronizing if it leads to pity for those of colour. Pity gets in the way of sincere and meaningful human relationships, and it forestalls the frankness that meaningful relationships demand. White guilt will not change the racialized environment; it will only make the guilty feel better.

‘Pokémon Go’ updates with reduced spawn rates for all those f*cking Pidgey and Rattata
Hate all those Pidgey, Rattata and Zubat? On Thursday evening, Niantic announced it’s bringing more biodiversity to Pokémon Go. While this may throw a wrench in the strategy of Pidgey spamming for experience points, it could help players fill their Pokédex. But wait there’s more, we’ve got bad news about Eevee.

Additional PSA: please donate pads and tampons to food banks, shelters, and charities! Homeless and low income women really need these things!
*homeless and low income people really need these things
You don’t know how rarely our food banks get menstrual supplies. If I don’t have $10 for a box of tampons, I have to stay at home, I can’t go anywhere. This reference is good, and I want to save it for later and share it with anyone who needs it. I also want to encourage those who can to donate supplies to food banks, and to remember:
Not all women have periods, and not all people who have periods are women. Be careful of cissexist language!
Ok, having depression or any kind of mood disorder fucking sucks. It can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming and impossible. But if you’re feeling shitty and you wake up and are able to accomplish any of these things you deserve a fucking medal. I know shit is hard but you’re not alone. Take solace in the little things. Just because they’re small doesn’t mean they’re not important. Little steps are never a bad place to start.
"The system is designed for you to fail," she said.
Two years after her release from state prison and fresh off of winning two BET Hip-Hop Awards, Bronx rap star Remy Ma is speaking out about the obstacles black women face both behind bars and after they re-enter society.
The artist, who was incarcerated for six years after being convicted of intentional assault stemming from an altercation over $3,000, stopped by HuffPost’s weekly rap show, “BARS,” on Friday. In the midst of her incredible comeback, she took a step back to reflect on her incarceration and vocalized the added difficulties black women face if they enter the criminal justice system.
“Black women are overlooked all the time. People don’t know all the hardships that being a black woman you have to face,” she told HuffPost’s Jacques Morel. She noted how many black Americans deal with “separation” from their fathers, husbands and sons, who are incarcerated at higher rates than their white counterparts. According to the NAACP, one in six black men have been incarcerated since 2001 and one in 100 black women are currently in prison.
But black women aren’t just “forgotten” by the system, she said. The maximum security Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, where the rapper did her time, holds up to 972 women. Remy said very few of these women actually had visitors. In her opinion, men didn’t experience the same isolation.
“Meanwhile you go to a men’s facility and there’s lines wrapping around the building,” she said. Some women would go years without visits from loved ones while in prison, Remy continued.
I know women who haven’t seen their children in ten years and they live right here in Brooklyn. They’re 45 minutes away from the city. People whose husbands forgot about them, boyfriends forgot about them. Friends forgot about them. Their children forgot about them. [Black women] just get thrown away and I’m tired of it.
Remy, who lauded Ava DuVernay’s documentary “13th” for its take on the complex issues surrounding mass incarceration, explained that once a prisoner finally makes it out of the criminal justice system, one’s slate is not wiped clean as some may assume. That criminal history lingers forever, she said.
“You try to fill out … a job application,” she said. “You try to [apply] for housing. You try to do anything [as] simple as voting you can’t do because of something that you did. So it’s never really like you paid your debt to society. You’re constantly paying for it over and over. … The system is designed for you to fail.”
Well, damn, Remy. DAMN. Thank you for speaking on how misogynoir manifests in the system, in our families, in how neglect of Black women destroys the whole community but no one stands up for us…except each other. 💔
