Let go of the idea that diy will inherently look shit. All your clothes are handmade you just don’t see the people doing it.
One of the best additions that gets my point across better :)
There’s a group that makes clothing with ink stained hands to show each time the fabric was touched with human hands to make the garment. The purpose of the piece is to bring attention to the hidden labor of sewists in the garment industry
Perhaps it slips your mind that the crowds you see in this picture are not returning to anything. Our homes and streets no longer exist. Everything has turned into emptiness, rubble upon sand. All that remains are the photos we carry in our memories and a bit of love we’ve tucked deep inside our hearts, to nurture our children with, a love for the soil that knows our faces and our souls well.

We are not returning to houses, but to resist all this injustice, to rebuild, to plant, and to light up our homeland anew. We walk tens of kilometers, carried by longing, not by strength.

Please donate to my brother Mohammed’s family. He is a wonderful young man and I hope that you will really stand with him and donate to him. He also wants to go abroad. Please donate even a little.
We lost our home, their school, their safe world. But I can’t let them lose their childhood too.
A good way to honor Miss Major’s memory, if you have the ability to, would be a donation to the Transgender Gender-Variant & Intersex Justice Project Black Trans Cultural Center.
This is a project originally led by Miss Major herself and aims to provide political education, leadership development, re-entry resources following incarceration, and legal advocacy to Black and Brown members of the transgender, gender-variant, and intersex community.
“Whoever believes the war on Gaza has ended is mistaken. The truth is that a new, even deadlier phase—more devastating than the war of bombs and missiles—has just begun.
Today, the people of Gaza have returned to erased cities, desolate neighbourhoods, and ruined homes. They are facing a reality stripped of basic necessities: no mosques, no schools, no universities, no hospitals, and no usable roads. Even bakeries, markets, and essential services like water and electricity are gone.
everyone who makes clanker jokes is automatically racist to me as soon as people started saying wireback i lost like the 2% of ’ oh theyre just being stupid about a star wars word ’ left in me . ive seen tinskin ive seen 50 variations of the n word with just one letter changed ive seen riffs on actual racist slogans ( ’ 5% of the population 90% of cybercrime ’ ’ clankers will not replace us ’ ’ flesh power ’ ) ive seen the ’ clink clank clan (ccc) ’ i dont give a fuck . ’ oh but i only say clanker not the other stuff ’ ’ i didnt know those were real slurs :( ’ ’ but robots arent people ’ i do not care you are stupid on purpose at this point even if you managed to pull Robot Slurs straight out of your ass eith no other context its still fucking weird to make up slurs so you can larp as a ’ flesh ’ supremacist . is this not a fucking reasonable statement
Please read and share: Interview with Meagan Morris, a trans woman who is one of the Prairieland political prisoners framed up over a Texas ICE protest.
Her public defender is deliberately deadnaming and misgendering her despite her already having her legal name changed years ago. She is being kept in a men’s jail. Clearly her attorney is deliberately acting against the interests of his client. There’s gotta be something more we can do
Here’s said lawyer’s info, I haven’t verified it’s the same person but given his name is the same and I didn’t have to type “lawyer” or “attorney” for him to show up, I think it’s safe to conclude it’s the same person
I sent him an email asking him to stop deadnaming her and to respect who she is and this is the response I got back.
I’m one of Meagan Morris’ partners and there’s a couple things we’ve been trying to do about her shitty lawyer:
It’s possible, but difficult, to file a complaint against a public defender for being openly hostile or unprofessional in treating their defendant, in order to request a new public defender from the county. Replies like the one he gave above are great evidence that he should not be assigned to someone that he’s openly bigoted against. (I’ve got multiple emails he sent to me that are similar in tone, so I’m not surprised he’s sending hateful emails instead of doing his job as a lawyer)
similarly, any emails like this can go into a complaint to the Texas state bar, which we plan to file as well. Luttrell has been reprimanded before for not representing his clients when he was legally required to, so any formal complaints will help.
the fundraiser OP linked is intended for hiring legal defenses for Meagan and the other protestors who were arrested, if we have enough we could hire a competent lawyer and no longer have her fate in the hands of a lazy bigot who still hasn’t met her in person.
mr. lawyer my lawyers are advising you continue to reply to people this way
Reblogging this version to make it easier to send emails directly to Robert
Also here’s a reminder of Luttrell’s google maps listing. I recommend letting him know, publicly, how you feel about him
This response is honestly batshit. Jfc he’s directly accusing his own client of committing a crime she hasn’t gone to trial for
That alone should be enough to get him removed as her defender.
Just to note, that the legal definition of libel/defamation in Texas is a written false statement to a third party that defames the plaintiff and has a requisite defree of fault regarding the statement’s truth, and caused damages. Which this situation seems to fit completely! Some people should probably report him to the State Bar
anyways, if any of you want to make a complaint, here’s the Texas State Bar complaint page. (it is also available in spanish!)
I’m not sure how it would come into effect, but there may be a case to make about possible incompetence towards the rights of his clients and how he represents them.
in august 2025, the US FDA discovered that shrimp (and later cloves) imported from indonesia were radioactive with cesium-137. food is not supposed to be contaminated with cs-137. there are MASSIVE ongoing recalls of shrimp. over 100 different shrimp products in a shitload of configurations (raw, cooked, skewered, tail-on, tail-off, breaded, etc) sold under a shitload of brands at a shitload of stores all across the US. because the shrimp might be unsafe in other ways considering it was literally radioactive.
…which began an investigation into how precisely the fuck this shrimp became radioactive in the first place. because this type of radioactive contamination, cesium-137, is man-made. usually associated with medical equipment, nuclear weapons, or nuclear power plants. stuff like that.
there are no nuclear weapons or nuclear power plants in indonesia.
the investigation found that in a major industrial area in indonesia, a metal company called peter metal technology received radioactive scrap metal from somewhere and smelted and processed it, which contaminated the surrounding area.
levels of radioactivity at their highest were glow-in-the-dark-shit-your-pants high. radiation of 1,000 millisievert throughout someone’s whole life skyrockets their chance of getting a fatal cancer. the sites that became contaminated due to peter metal technology got up to 1,000 millisievert per HOUR
at least 9 people near the metal plant received specialized medical care for significant radiation exposure.
most people who lived near the fukushima nuclear plant, in the entire year following the disaster, were exposed to 12-25 msv. (this and the three above bullet points are not actually on the massive shrimp recall post, might add it. what do you think?)
the smeltery was within ~2km/a little over a mile from the seafood plant, and it is thought that the cesium became airborne and was carried by the wind to rain down upon the unsuspecting shrimp. the smeltery has been shut down.
levels of radioactivity the US FDA found in the shrimp was around the levels of radioactivity from one single banana. so if you did somehow eat radioactive shrimp, you ate around a banana’s worth.
the radioactive shrimp importer, PT bahari makmur sejati (doing business as BMS foods) and the importer of radioactive cloves, PT natural java spice, are completely banned from selling shit in the US for now. neither of them directly caused this incident but the FDA says they should have caught that their food was radioactive before it reached the US.
there has been no recalls of cloves. but there may be more shrimp recalls. BMS foods was a massive importer of shrimp for the US and recalls have been ongoing since august.
nothing that was confirmed radioactive was confirmed to have been sold in the US. but right now there is a federal fucking government shutdown which is impeding both the investigation and communication of updates regarding the investigation.
it is unclear right now where exactly the radioactive scrap metal originally came from, which should eventually shed a lot more light on this situation. there is way more left to learn about what happened here.
but it is so important for everyone to know: the people who were hurt the worst from this, based off of the currently available information, were NOT anyone in the US. not even if you ate a dozen bags of radioactive shrimp. the people who are the most in danger because of this are the people in indonesia that might die because of safety lapses from peter metal technology, and whoever else was potentially exposed to the radioactive metal.
