NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

Please y’all, sitoplé, I am begging us not to use ai for our posters and art as LA Creoles. We are a culture of creation, we are artists and musicians, we are vibrant and living in every part of our endangered culture. We are also on the frontlines of the negative environmental impact of ai.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Important to remember that most if not all the antivaxxers you ever see or hear are vaccinated against things like measles. Their whole movement is forcing children to take the risks that they never do (because they think children are property)

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

Every time someone says "but how will we afford it?" I want to ask them how we are affording it now, and in many cases, the answer is that we aren't.

My summer began with my dad being hit by a car as a pedestrian (slow recovery ongoing), was followed by my dog getting an aggressive cancer (we will have to put him down in the next 2 weeks), and is ending with me and a hospital visit (I’m ok). I’m ready to put this Summer behind me!

Threatening the pope is wild and very empire-before-their-downfall coded. But if you love genocide and want to commit more genocide, why wouldn’t you threaten the pope? If you can commit genocide, you can do anything to anyone.

*Southern Evangelical Preacher voice* When I am trying to type “HELL” and spell check changes it to “HE WILL,” I am reminded that so many of our problems are created by patriarchy. We are in HELL, We are living the results of patriarchy’s power. It’s not called “shell,” after all. 🔥 AMEN

The post right above this one on my feed was, “The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history. That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran.” So actually the post can lose money.

If you make the BOARD OF PEACE and you make yourself THE CHAIRMAN and nobody from democratic countries joins you and you declare you will “redevelop” a destroyed country with displaced people (because of ongoing genocide) and you say it’s a “great location” and you want to re-build it? You’re evil.

We are playing the long game: whatever you have to do to stay in it for your neighbors, do it. That might mean you increase your tolerance for discomfort. Especially for us white folks who have benefited from systems that are harming others. Mental health isn’t an excuse to disengage / sit this out!
