    3 of the 6 writers of this bill are white women. The person who introduced this to the senate is also a white woman. Meanwhile, this bill will harm Black and brown mothers the most - the people who've historically been stripped of reproductive freedoms in this country.

    "A local restaurant owner who twice offered to donate $4,000 to help pay down the debt was turned down both times, the AP reported. School officials said in a statement that all students must be treated equally" so wild to read that and then read...well...the rest of this story

    A Rhode Island school district will begin serving students who owe lunch money cold sandwiches rather than a hot meal.

    so many people have moved to brooklyn and only taken from it. donating to the fundraiser to keep the historical site of weeksville, in crown heights, open, is one way to give back. if you have disposable income, it is your duty to give to this campaign:

    I’m increasingly inclined to believe that men for whom being masculine is deeply important are incapable of understanding camp. What a shame.

    u can call it shallow or vain or whatever u like but aesthetics have always been so meaningful 2 me. i admire & crave the light, layout, & adornment of lenny's crib. patterns & shapes emit vibrations. colors cool & instruct. where we live & how we adorn our space & bodies matter.
