Hey folks - we’re still trying to get our rent paid up, and our landlord is threatening to give us a 3-day notice if we don’t make a payment immediately.

If there’s anything you can do to help, we could really use it.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

truly, people's ability to ignore COVID-19 and its dangers ... I don't understand it at all. I really do not.

It continues to amaze me that so many peers who would go to the mat for facts & science on virtually every other Trump-era issue—who rightly rail against the injustices & the empathy gap seen in this epoch—blithely reject public health & pandemic precautions as soon as it gets in the way of brunch.

This Indigenous Peoples Day please speak up: another typhoon sweeping away homes of Alaska's Natives, who, during settlement (statehood: 1948) were forced to end ways of life (like my Grandma's) involving mobility across regions & stuck them in flood-prone/unstable villages with housing deficits.

Sadly, they are sticking very close to their person and I am too far away to get a good image of them without invading his privacy in his own yard.

I'm looking at a couple of dogs who appear to be pitbull/dachshund mixes, and though they are cute in a weird baby hippo sort of way, the process of creating these animals had to be brutal in a way I'm sorry to have to think about.

Just wild to me that anyone thinks that the former host of Celebrity Apprentice should have any power beyond firing Gary Busey for screwing up the week’s Omaha Steaks challenge.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

U.S. Military Kills Another 6 People in 5th Caribbean Strike, Trump Says
In a social media post, the president said the people aboard a boat were suspected of smuggling drugs for an unspecified group his team had labeled terrorists.

So we all know how to get around a canceled streaming TV subscription 🏴‍☠️ but what is the Spotify replacement, especially for people who use it to share music? I don't have a premium
account but I share a lot and that has been the only reason I still use the platform.

Santiago Mayer @santiagomayer.com · 1d

Spotify is now running recruitment ads for ICE.

It’s time to cancel your account.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me raise funds yesterday, I was able to make a $100 rent payment this morning. My next payment is due on Friday, 10/17, and I have to raise at least $1200 in order to make up for being short on last week's payment. #MutualAidRequest

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

“At least one person in the Telegram chat works in the Trump administration: Michael Bartels, who, according to his LinkedIn account, serves as a senior adviser in the office of general counsel within the U.S. Small Business Administration.”

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

I had set up my VPN service to auto renew via my PayPal account, but for whatever reason they couldn't/didn't/won't, and have canceled my account without warning for "nonpayment."

So, I am taking recommendations for a good VPN that isn't PIA.

So many similarities to GOP candidate Nixon dispatching Kissinger to sabotage LBJ's Vietnam talks, initiating a horrendous Cambodian bombing campaign after winning the 1968 election - only to sign essentially the same deal in 1973 that LBJ had put together 5 years earlier.

So, Łink is still banned? All the accounts we see catch bans and come back, and all the ones that mysteriously never get banned, but the one that stays banned is Łink?
