Friendly seasonal reminder

Don’t keep lilies in your house if you have cats.

They will die.

Even if they just breathe in the pollen. Or get it on their fur. They will fucking die. Do not do it.

“… the most toxic household plants for cats is the common lily. In fact, eating as little as two or three leaves from the flowers can result in liver failure and, if left untreated, can have a fatal outcome for cats.” (Source: PetMD)

Please take care of your feline friends!

Stereotypes kill. Even the good ones. Stereotypes end careers, or prevent them from ever getting started. Stereotypes hide real discrimination, and excuse real violence. Stereotypes change the fate of nations, usually for the worse. So hit ESC on the macro in your head and think, dammit. And the next time you find yourself trying to justify a stereotype, or downplaying a stereotype as a good stereotype, recognize what it is you’re doing. You’re being a bigot. You’re killing people and helping to make the world worse than it already is. You are the problem. Now fix it.

I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, heart and soul. But you know what would have made it even better?

If The First Slayer- a black woman- wasn’t referred to as “The Primitive”.

If Buffy didn’t make fun of the First Slayer’s hair.

If Buffy didn’t relentlessly mock Kendra’s -a Jamaican Slayer- accent.

If Chao Ahn- a Cantonese Slayer - wasn’t used as a walking punchline for not being able to speak English, ignoring how horrible it is to be isolated behind a language barrier.

If black characters didn’t almost always die almost immediately after being introduced (Kendra Young, Forrest Gates, Nikki Wood, Mr Platt, Mr Trick).

If different cultures weren’t repeatedly stereotyped and portrayed as demonic or savage (The Pack, Inca Mummy Girl, Dead Man’s Party, Pangs, Get It Done).

If there were realistically some Latino characters in Sunnydale, a town set in California, wherein which 37.6% of the population are Latino.

If there was just one poc in the main cast during the show’s seven year run spanning 144 episodes.

No Criminal Charges For Deputies Who Killed Natasha McKenna in Jail + Video Released Of Her Being Tortured To Death Naked

Fairfax County’s head prosecutor announced Tuesday that he will not pursue charges in the controversial death of a mentally ill woman who died after being restrained and Tasered at the Fairfax County jail in February, calling it a “tragic accident”.

Natasha McKenna, 37, resisted a team of deputies trying to remove her from her cell for a transfer. The deputies placed her in handcuffs, leg restraints and a mask before Tasering her four times. McKenna stopped breathing a short time later and died days later at a hospital.

As Ms. McKenna lay on life support in a hospital before dying, her mother took photos of her battered body — two black eyes, a missing or amputated finger, severe bruises running the length of her left arm.

Two days after the announcement to let the murderer cops go free, Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid released the 45-min video that shows a prolonged struggle between a naked, mentally ill Natasha McKenna and five deputies in biohazard suits. In the video (which contains disturbing content) McKenna fights deputies for more than 17 minutes while they torture and tase her repeatedly while naked. About 38 minutes into the recording, she loses consciousness.

“There is no better way for me to share what actually occurred than to make this video available to view for the community in its entirety,” Kincaid said at the start of the 48-minute video.

At the start of the encounter, a deputy says, “Natasha, we’re here to take you out,” and then McKenny utters her last words:

“You promised me you wouldn’t kill me. I didn’t do anything,” McKenna says.

Neither Morrogh nor McKenna’s family attorney, Harvey Volzer, could be immediately reached for comment.

Let me tell you about my panda mini-washer

As an apartment dweller, this is a game changer. My current apartment doesn’t have a laundry facility and the closest Laundromat about a 30 min bus ride which is just not practical. The mini-washer is a life saver

The panda mini washer hooks up to the sink, is incredibly lightweight (about 28 pounds, so light even I can lift it) and easy to use.

It has a surprisingly large capacity. The basket from the first picture represents about one and a half loads. The jeans took up a whole load while the rest filled the bin only half way.

Here’s the inside. The left is the washer the right is the spin dryer. Yes, it even drys.

Basically you shove your cloths into the washer, fill it up with water and let it go. I use my shower head to fill it up so it goes faster, the sink hook up took about five minutes to fill the whole tub, with the shower head is is down to a minute an a half. I do it in three wash cycles, a five minute rinse with baking soda, a five minute wash with soap and a three minute rinse with water. You have to drain and refill between each cycle so it’s a little more labor intensive than a traditional washer.

That’s the spin dryer. It’s about half the capacity of the washer so one wash takes about two loads to dry. The spinner is much more effective than I was expecting. A three minute spin gets my cloths about 90% dry. I hang them up to air dry for that last 10%.

The machine cost me about 150$. When you factor in two dollars for the bus, five for the machines (per week), the mini-washer pays for its self after only about six months worth of laundry.

I’m not great at expressing emotion, but I’m hoping you can tell how excited I am. Let me just say that the panda mini-washer is great and I highly recommend it to anyone currently using a Laundromat.

Read this and immediately bought it on Amazon for $180. I spend $15 a week to have my laundry done so this pays for itself in 3 months for me. THANK YOU JESUS.
