current project: Theo & James (ex-best friends, current costars) are forced to fake date to save their struggling tv show Arctic Rescue. They say fake it ‘til you make it in Hollywood, but there’s no faking the chemistry between them. Will it be enough to convince the producers to save their show?

THE PAIRING X 911 (TV) Theo & James are ex best friends & estranged costars. When a polar bear incident turns into a HR nightmare, to save the show, they fake date to convince the producers *all is well*. But as the line between fiction and reality blurs, can they fake it to make it? #DVpit #A #CR

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.
SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE
Raid in Los Angeles
Los Angeles - David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West was injured and detained at an ICE raid in Los Angeles today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe and document law enforcement activity.
Tia Orr, Executive Director of SEIU California, made the following statement:
"SEIU California members call for the immediate release of our President, David Huerta, who was injured and detained at the site of one of today's ICE raids in Los Angeles. He is now receiving medical attention while in custody.
"We are proud of President Huerta's righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement: standing up to injustice, regardless of personal risk or the power of those perpetrating it.
"We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes."

I grew up in Alaska so I’ve got some weird skills: 1. Fishing—as a food source, could catch, fillet, and process. 2. We had an industrial greenhouse so I could handle a 20x60 greenhouse 3. We raised chickens. I hated them. But I do know how to take care of them. 4. I have carpentry skills

Lily I don’t know if this is helpful or useful but if your credit card payment is eating up so much of your income you could look into a nonprofit credit counselor who could negotiate a lower interest rate and monthly payment (doesn’t impact credit score because you never miss a payment)

the boycott on Friday did some good getting folks involved in protest who have never done it— HOWEVER as an organizer, it is difficult to get people to come back if they don’t think their sacrifice did anything. *That’s* why ppl felt this wasn’t the best way to introduce ppl to collective action

The truly freeing thing about embracing queerness as an identity is that you relieve yourself of any patriarchal white American beauty standard. like I shaved half my head in an undercut and all my queer friends proceeded to call me hot af and they were right. I am hot af
A red haired person in a gray top poses with a severe undercut. They have big glasses on. Their arm is angled up and cradling their head. The look is effortless punk and queer af. The boy they like also called this look sexy in instagram dm’s, so they’re winning at life really

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now
A screenshot of a text excerpt from a court proceeding, showing a conversation between Judge Reyes and Jason C. Lynch about an executive order that defines “sex” strictly as male or female. Judge Reyes challenges this definition, noting that there are roughly 30 different intersex variations and citing examples such as XXX chromosomes, androgen insensitivity, and five-alpha reductase deficiency. Judge Reyes emphasizes that not everyone fits neatly into an XX or XY pattern, concluding that the executive order’s premise—that there are only two sexes—is biologically incorrect.
