I saw this on Bluesky and dropping the article link here. In the article there is a spot were you can search for a authors name.

@thebibliosphere they stole your books also. :-(
#my wife is on the SOR for being gay #no joke #she hit on a girl in a straight bar once #in 1997 #and while the girl was into it #the off duty cop sitting nearby was not #and so he arrested her for ‘soliciting homosexual activity’ #which in our state was still a felony #in 1997 (and would remain so until Lawrence v Texas in 2003) #and since ‘soliciting homosexual activity’ was a felony and a sex crime #she got put on The List #she is still on there to this day #because it costs MONEY to ask a judge to take you off #and she has tried four times#since 2003 #to get taken off the SOR #but every time the judge has said something like ‘no you pled guilty to the crime i can’t possibly take you off the sex offender registry’ #with no acknowledgement of what the actual crime was #(the crime of being a butch lesbian hitting on a cute girl who was into it) #(in 1997)
Reposting these tags with consent from the person that wrote them. The post about the Sex Offenders Registry is locked, but these tags are too important to go unnoticed.
Younger queer people need to realize that the SOR being used against queer people simply for being queer isn’t some ancient history thing. It still impacts queer people today. And it can quite easily be used that way again.
FDA warning letters are awesome. you can tell how pissed off some of the people writing them are. a few highlights of the dozen or two letters I read today:
when one company found out an inspection was happening, they deleted a ton of files related to manufacturing. when asked why they deleted those files, they said they simply did not want to talk about their contents with the inspector
a company had dripping pipes on manufacturing equipment that said it was clean and ready to use. they said it was fine because that manufacturing equipment was not being used. the inspector watched it get used
a website selling oxy without a prescription
if you put on full sterile garb with your bare hands and before putting on gloves it is not fucking sterile
STOP CRAWLING ON THE FLOOR. AND IF YOU CRAWL ON THE FLOOR, CHANGE YOUR FUCKING GEAR
one company saying they test their water for contaminants to make sure their water is being filtered correctly. the FDA inspector then pointed out their water tested positive for contaminants dozens of times and still used it in manufacturing
if you sell drugs in the united states you have to follow united states drug laws. yes even if what you did is fine back in your country
inspectors being pissed about unsafe and badly tested products being sold to children
your so called sterility sucked x 10000
STOP FUCKING SELLING UMBILICAL CORDS‼️‼️
Hi Bitches! I have a fun food story I think you'll like.
So I recently discovered there's a produce rescue in my state that purchases unsold wholesale produce at the border to prevent it from being tossed in the landfill. They then sell it off at hella cheap prices. You don't get to pick what's in your box, but, uh. It's 70 pounds of produce for $15, you get what you get and if you're like me you will figure out what to do with it rather than let it go to waste.
Anyway, my last box included an absolutely insane number of Persian cucumbers. So I decided I'd try something I've wanted to try for years, because if I wrecked one or two in the process it wasn't as big a disaster as if I'd tried it with expensive store bought ones, and...
I can make my own glatt kosher dill pickles now, and holy crap, Vlasic can eat its heart out. Mine are crunchier, more flavorful, better-cut and kept perfectly good food from being thrown away, doing them with my produce box meant they were about 1/8 the price, and also pickling is very easy but people think you're amazing and fancy if you pickle your own stuff.
Also if anyone is in Arizona and wants in on this action, it's called Borderlands P.O.W.W.O.W. (Produce On Wheels WithOut Waste) and you can find them here. Here's what my last box looked like:
I should note that's what's left after I split the box half and half with a friend.
HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHITBALLS THIS IS AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for sharing this extremely frugal win AND telling the rest of us how to get in on it. With grocery prices the way they are, this is sure to keep a lot of people from going hungry or missing out on necessary nutrition. I encourage everyone outside of Arizona to look for similar programs in your state! (Though I suspect it's mostly only applicable to border states.)
Also, drop that super crunchy pickle recipe, baby.

MAGA know they are inferior.
Anyone who has to negate black achievement is a loser. Complicit white people are bigger losers.

MAGA must disrespect black people. The racism feeds the myth of white superiority.
End the racism and the myth disappears.
It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.
