Okay, pals.

Time for action this month.

We're going to do that by funding classrooms that are specifically seeking out Black history books. These classrooms are those that are in historically underfunded communities.

These asks are from teachers whose students benefit directly.

Questions to ask yourself:

1. Who can you turn to in your community to do the work?

4. What are your news sources? How do you get the news in a way that's actionable BUT -

I do imagine (horrible as it is) that a headshot is infinitely faster & less lingeringly painful than a fiery death, given that the explosion appears to have tapered pretty quickly into a car fire (i.e., no shattered nearby windows, etc.) Also, he may not have wanted to risk surviving an explosion.

Lots of detonators have timers. Sad stuff.

I like the part in “Shoop” by Salt ‘n Pepa where she says “I swear, I stared, my niece my witness” because most songs don’t even bother to include independent third party verification of their claims.

Maybe before making up just-so stories about why and how the left forced the Silicon Valley bros to go hard right, you could look up the bros' personal histories, their family histories, or the entire history of ultra-rich people in general

“reading fics is for jobless people” the best fic you’ll ever read is written by women in their 40s with incredibly successful corporate jobs that allow them to buy ungodly amounts of merch, i promise you

Wicked was just about everything I could have wanted it to be. With just some small quibbles, I was truly enchanted.

Exactly.

In 20 days, we're probably going to find out he killed a man Reno just to watch him die, etc.

Ex-librarian here—I'd say encouraging your followers to put in requests for books with marginalized authors/MCs and check out those books both in person and online would be best. To get books and keep them on shelves in times of scrutiny like this, there has to be a quantifiable demand for them.
