BSKY is full of cam girls. I started getting random follows from people with no posts, and nothing on their profiles except links to the pages where they sell videos of themselves. Went straight to mastadon.

I was temp banned because I typed out the comment, [removed by reddit]; as a means of drawing light to the fact that they are simping for Elon, Trump, and fascism. The rule they cited was promoting violence. The bans they are tossing out aren’t based in reality or site rules. I deleted my account. They are techno fascists now.

There are so many factors to consider, but the main things one should research in terms of disparate health outcomes are: Income, access to healthy food, access to a healthy environment (again see income and housing disparities,) and access to medical care (see income again as well as bias in healthcare that affects outcomes.)

Black people are more likely to be impoverished. This means they have fewer choices and access issues when it comes to housing. They are more likely to live in areas that are affected by different types of pollution; which have long term health impacts. They have a harder time accessing healthy food because there are less likely to be decent grocery stores in their communities. If you read the article, you know that black babies are more likely to die of perinatal conditions, which are health conditions before, or right after birth, (see my point about access to healthcare and disparity of health outcomes based on race.)

While racism that causes these disparities isn’t overt, it’s baked in beneath all of these complex factors. Racism is absolutely a factor, it’s systemic racism.

I just got banned for commenting " [Removed by Reddit] " .

Following Trump’s Rose Garden announcement, a White House official told NOTUS’ Jasmine Wright that Russia is “not on this list because sanctions from the Ukraine war have already rendered trade between the two countries as zero.” Obviously I think this is bullshit, but that’s the rationale.

HUG. Do you have insurance to get treatment for your depression at least? I will be your family. You are more than welcome to show up at my place for Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Say hi to Jennifer Piggot!

This cunt is a raging bigot.

Trump cast her out,

fucked around and found out;

her eyes gush tears like a spigot.

I know someone that’s involved in the organ transplant industry. What I was told is that when someone is on life support, the hospital and agency involved in the transplantation process aggressively try to get the family to sign off on the organ harvest, without full confirmation that the person is actually brain dead. It happened in KY in 2021

This is some Darth Vader shit right here, “Pray I don’t alter the deal further.”

😂

The Houthis, is a Zaydi Shia Islamist political and military organization that emerged from Yemen in the 1990s. It is predominantly made up of Zaydi Shias, with their namesake leadership being drawn largely from the Houthi tribe. The group has been a central player in Yemen’s civil war, drawing widespread international condemnation for its human rights abuses, including targeting civilians and using child soldiers. The Houthis are backed by Iran. The Houthis emerged as an opposition movement to Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh, whom they accused of corruption and being backed by Saudi Arabia and the United States.

The market goes through boom/bust cycles. This particular bust cycle is being precipitated by shitty political policies. You should be studying the prospectus for the stocks/products you are buying through your 401K. The prospectus tells you what company stocks make up the investment product, and will show you the long term performance. If you’re worried about US markets, you can move your some of your holdings into European/Asian stock products for a bit more diversity. In terms of risk, the stock market is riskier than the bond market, however bonds tend to preserve the purchase value over time rather than generate profit. The higher the risk, the higher the reward. What I have done is take my dividends/profits out of the stock side of the market, and use them to purchase bonds. This way I preserve the profit, and the original investment used to generate the profit stays in the risky part of the market to hopefully keep generating profit. Since the market is taking a big hit right now, now would be the time to buy, while the prices are lower, understanding that you are betting on a recovery which might not happen. Any financial advisor worth their salt would at the very least tell you to diversify your porfolio, as in don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. I would take this a step further to say, you should build up a savings account and not count on something risky like the stock market to be there for you when you retire. The stock market is just gambling.

Many of the Arab Americans that voted for Trump voted that way out of pure misogyny. They didn’t want to vote for a woman. Let’s face it, the home grown Trumpers voted that way for the same reasons, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and racism. Anyone that proudly voted for Trump gets no help or sympathy from me. FEAST YE LEOPARDS!

🤢 eww

We should stop referring to them as Fox news and start calling them Fox entertainment, since they themselves said no reasonable person would believe they were reporting facts

You forgot fuck spez

When I saw that video I dry heaved. I wish I had been there on the street when it happened. I would have run over to help.

Stay strong Canada.

That’s what you get for supporting fascism. Fuck you spez.

The fine is because they ran afoul of workplace safety laws. I’m not familiar with Aussie law, but I imagine the family might have grounds for a separate civil suit.
