whenever you feel like you’re too small to change anything know that citizens from small towns and cities that speak up against flock and axon cameras in their communities (and sometimes get arrested for it) are fighting and sometimes succeeding against this

The Discourse™️ is happening again so I updated this meme accordingly. #TheLoveHypothesis #Reylo
An old Tumblr post made by bauliya that said "idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars." I deleted Star Wars and exchanged it with The Love Hypothesis

Chloe Renae Freeman, 33, was charged with instigating or assisting the escape of a person under arrest, according to a criminal complaint filed August 28 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The charge carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a fine.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

good!! my iron levels were regularly at 11-12 ng/ml my whole life (2-3 above my hospital's labs cutoff for low, out of like I think 150). my doc sister was like "yeah uhh my hospital's is 50" so I asked my psychiatrist and she put me on iron pills. I don't get dizzy standing up now lmao

Iron deficiency often goes undiagnosed. New guidelines could change that.
Recommended changes for measuring ferritin levels could help more people get early treatment for one of the most common blood disorders.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

One of the worst things about streaming with ads is no humans appear to be in charge of placing the ad breaks. Even shows which originally had ad breaks, where there was an obvious break in the narrative for it, don't have the ad breaks put in those places now

Trump’s Title IX regulation went into effect in 2020, where it received almost no media coverage during the pandemic. There were also few students on campus to participate in or protest the process. Schools went above and beyond in implementing hostility toward survivors.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

I'm glad to see so many getting their COVID boosters! Just as a reminder though, they're a layer of protection but not wholly protective in themselves. You can get the virus, pass it on and get long COVID. Wearing a respirator mask, and cleaning the air, are vital for protection too.
