psa! for folks in north america, south america, or australia, you can use this interactive map to learn about the indigenous peoples and languages in your area — both historically and in the present day.
this is an excellent place to start if you're interested in learning about local history and your nearby indigenous communities. you can even put in your postal code to display data for your specific neighborhood or suburb. i recommend giving it a look!
Americans who are worried about bird flu and/or are struggling to afford eggs the next few months- find someone in your local community who has chickens.
It is winter right now, so most backyard hens won’t be laying, but come spring, they’ll be laying so many eggs a lot of chicken owners don’t even know what to do with them all. They’ll often sell you a whole carton for like, 2-3 dollars. a backyard flock owner might even give them away for free if they’re desperate.
frankly, if you start buying fresh eggs, you probably won’t want to ever go back. farm fresh eggs taste better, last longer (sometimes without even being refrigerated), and have tougher, denser shells. not to mention they’re beautiful considering they come in all different shapes, sizes and colors!
in general though, farmers markets are HUGE. the cororate meat and dairy industries are breeding grounds for disease right now, and grocery prices are skyrocketing. local farmers markets and community owned grocery stores can get you better prices on better food, from things like eggs to produce, meat, and dairy.
i see a lot of people talking about community but i think a lot of people still don’t know where to start….since food is a big one, i want to share some resources. its important to remember that we don’t need these corporations to survive. they need us. even if you don’t make a lot of income, there are ways you can support your community and get better deals than at corporate owned grocery stores.
Most states have a farmers market network/association, or you can find local markets through your state’s department of agriculture website. heres a list of resources by state on the farmers market coalition. some of these links might be broken or outdated, but just looking up the name should bring you to the right page.
here’s also a list of food pantries and grocery co-ops per state. keep in mind these might not encapsulate every resource available, they’re just jumping off points in case you aren’t sure where to start, since i know things are really overwhelming right now. but even just looking up “farmers market/food pantry” and your county or city will come up with plenty of results.
I know that not everyone can afford farmers markets, there are cases where they’re more expensive than regular grocery stores. it 100% depends on the situation. but most areas usually have at least one local food bank or community group where you can get some assistance if you’re struggling. start to get to know your neighbors, too. you know how older folks will say that back in the day, you could go ask the neighbors for a cup of sugar and they’d give it to you? That kind of basic community is exactly what we have to go back to in these next few years. That is what is gonna keep us alive.
I think bkdk and tgchk shippers would be much happier if they searched for media that was explicitly queer with explicitly queer relationships.
Hori didn't promise anything romantic between tgchk or bkdk, he just.. told a story. He was telling a story. And just because he made izch implied at the end doesn't mean he queerbaited anyone. in writing his story he didn't go out of his way to draw in a queer audience and then throw them under the bus. He was just telling a story
And I think a lot of people are upset right now because they searched for explicitly queer relationships in a media that was never going to deliver that
Mha isn't necessarily a queer story. It has dynamics that can be read as queer and queer characters, but mha itself at the end of the day isn't a queer story — it just has a large queer audience and that doesn't necessarily make it queerbait.

As we fight imperialism abroad, remember the people who are suffering under apartheid at home. Help Marcellus Williams by signing the petition to stay his execution! Read to learn more about Mr. Williams situation.
Eman and her family are trapped in Sudan without food, water, or healthcare. All around them, the RSF and SAF attacking both each other and the Sudanese people. They have been in this horrible situation for over a year, and are trying to collect funds so that they can evacuate to safety. However, the fees Sudanese people are charged in order to evacuate are absurdly high, and with Eman’s family being large, they are still a long way from reaching their goal.
Now, the RSF is closing in on Eman’s location. Some people are trying to flee, but there is almost no working transportation, and nowhere safe to flee to.

im not fully coloring this but they're very similar characters imo and they'd be friends once they got over their downward spirals. i think.
