I am not being hyperbolic when I say every cop who sat around and made sure this happened to these kids for an hour deserves a public execution.
Fuck knowledge and ideas
anyway not only did the “legalization” of cannabis in California fail to free Black and Brown people imprisoned for the sale and possession of cannabis, it also did not halt urine testing for cannabis as a means of re-incarcerating people on parole and probation, or change the fact that folks in California prisons who test positive for cannabis can lose visitation or be put in solitary confinement
thinking about how many serial killers targeted prostitutes probably not because they had a specific hatred of them like so many people hypothesize but because they hated women in general and prostitutes were the only women who didn’t have the choice to stay away from them
I genuinely mean this, I hope all 5 of those Supreme Court members who voted Yes have to live their lives getting harassed and are extremely bothered till their last dying breath.
Bother them, make their lives miserable, make them not want to leave their homes.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.
I cannot stress this enough; you need to support public education. You need to assure high standards are being kept and that funding is sustained, increased, and appropriately divested.
The far-right (and even conservative right) have spent decades eroding the belief and support of public education. We are now reaching the end stages of the goal. On the surface it looks like they simply want to defund public schools in order to prop up their charter and religious private schools, but it’s so much worse and you need to be concerned.
Without proper education people are left naive to what is going on around them - in this case it would be the dismantling of democracy. Without learning how to properly understand information and critically think about actions and events you’re likely to just believe what you’re told.
Public education is a pillar of democracy. This is not a question or opinion it is a straight fact.
There is so much more to this and I could continue on for pages but I’m simply asking you to be aware and try to do whatever you can to prop up and support public education before it is truly too late.
The people of Ukraine are under attack. As game developers we want to create new worlds, not to destroy the one we have. That's why we've banded together to present this charity bundle to help Ukrainians survive this ordeal and thrive after the war ends. This cause has resonated with creators around the globe, to the extent that our bundle contains almost 1,000 games, tabletop RPGs, books, etc.
There's a charity bundle up on itch.io for Ukraine that contains nearly a 1,000 games, with all proceeds being split evenly between International Medical Corps and Voices of Children.
Please consider donating if you can, or by spreading the word! The bundle is up until the 18th of March.
