My favorite place in the entire world, Wicked Grounds in San Francisco, needs patrons to remain sustainable as it starts reopening full-time with precautions. If you have the extra money to support a sober queer kinky cafè space — they need it bad.

anyone on fedi selling/sending out stickers at the moment?

regarding the death and injury of crew members on Rust by Alec Baldwin

"social murder" is a term coined by Engels wherein the ruling class places the workers in such a position that inevitably, they will die

the unionized film crew warned of irresponsible behavior from a non-union armorer and walked out to protest

they were ignored, filming continued without safety changes, the incident became inevitable at that point

Hey, fundraisers for Black people often get stuck without meeting their goal. Can anyone give Sunyata $5 today?

anyone have housing leads in Netherlands? a trans EU immigrant needs urgent housing within a week.

she is v mentally ill and smokes weed so housemates will have to b able to cope with that, but i must stress it is urgent, i think even a temporary stay could be lifesaving

LB: I was just talking at work (to another visually impaired person) about how much I hate "blindness" used as a metaphor. It does real harm because the metaphorical uses are always about ignorance or apathy, qualities that are then widely attributed to blind people

So "plant awareness disparity" seems a lot better than "plant blindness." Indeed, awareness disparity is a great name for what's usually meant by this kind of "blindness." The disparity feels important, that's maybe underappreciated

in a space that is not even white-dominated, a white person makes a statement like comparing "asian x" with "regular x", gets immediately called out by an asian person. white person backpedals with an excuse about how white privilege "just sneaks in" sometimes and apologizes for "using the wrong word". no asian people reply. other white people coddle the white person for feeling badly about having messed up, none of them check in with any asian person.

I need help sourcing some safer sex supplies. The last batch of lube at the Center expired back in June. Does anyone have a reliable source for single-use foil lube packs?

Boosts appreciated.

"Going as far back as the American colonial period when Black labor was first imported into America, Black slaves and indentured servants have been oppressed right along with whites of the lower classes. But when European indentured servants joined with Blacks to rebel against their lot in the late 1600s, the propertied class decided to “free” them by giving them a special status as “whites” and thus a stake in the system of oppression."
