Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
My DV advocate has been working to find us safe housing! In the meantime, I'm also working on an application for a part-time job that could be a great fit, and continuing to look for legal help while doing as much as I can independently.
PLEASE help us get legal help, a car, and everything else we need to survive ♥️
Unfortunately we didn't get the transitional DV housing we were hoping for 💔 and still can't go home as emergency restraining order was denied. This goal is for legal funds but housing support is also urgent!
DV survivor & baby in urgent need of funds for legal aid! We haven't been able to get a restraining order yet which puts a huge strain on stability. Consult w sliding scale lawyer is in 2 days!
So grateful for all the support pouring in today—$300 in the last 12 hours!! The consult was postponed until Tuesday so hopefully we can hit the goal by then (although I'm not yet sure how much will be due right away).
I also have a rent balance of $2,750 (after receiving $2k in rental assistance), due ASAP . Please keep boosting, it's making a HUGE difference for our safety & our future!!

Y'all, I'M HIRING A LAWYER! After months of struggling in court & fundraising, I had a successful consultation and will be getting started with this sliding-scale firm right away.
The initial trust is $2k, which I already have on hand. What I need immediately is the remaining $1500 that I owe for rent. We have a pay or vacate notice that gives us until Oct 17, 10 days from now.
Still don't have a restraining order in place so we can't go home yet, but this is a HUGE turning point 💞
I want to thank each & every one of you who's boosted my posts, donated to us, & stood up to my abuser. I'm endlessly grateful for this community!! Let's keep it going so we can stay safe AND avoid eviction ✨
I'm working out a payment plan with my landlord but the margins are VERY tight and I really don't want essential bills to bounce. PLEASE DONATE THIS WEEKEND if at all possible so I can make sure everything is covered!

I took my grown kids out for pizza at Vito and Nick's Pizza on the Southside of Chicago. The pizza was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. The place was packed.
We enjoyed a scenic drive through Northwest Indiana using the back roads, then cut up into Chicago.
Coming back, we cut across the south side, then drove through South Deering, then Hegewisch to get a quick tour of the southern portions of the city before arriving back in Hammond, Indiana.

Trump's government has been arguing that if they claim that someone in the US isn't a citizen, they're not entitled to due process
this is clearly unconstitutional
in March, Timothy Snyder noted the logical endpoint: This means even *citizens* do not reliably have due process, because all the feds have to do is *say* you're not a citizen and ... you can't go to court to prove it

> A secretive appropriations process killed or reined in three bills regulating the use of pricing algorithms. A bill to monitor data center electricity use was also culled.
A crackdown on predictive software that sets prices and can rip you off seemed to be brewing in the California Legislature earlier this year, but today lawmakers eased up, voting to kill bills that would have kept software from setting the price of apartment rentals and other goods and services. Another bill, which sought to bar the use of personal information to set prices, was reined in to apply only to grocery stores.
Lawmakers also killed a bill that aimed to protect electric utility customers from bearing higher costs associated with data center proliferation […] The measure would have required data centers to publicly disclose how much energy they use.

The image features a black background with white text centered in the middle. The text reads: "Trump goes half a weekend without committing an impeachable offense, and we all just assume he's dead." The font is bold and sans-serif, making the text easily readable against the dark background. The message is presented in a straightforward manner, with no additional images or graphics. The text is aligned to the center, and there is no other visual element present in the image.

The image features a humanoid figure with a robotic appearance, set against a solid orange background. The figure is wearing a blue helmet with intricate mechanical details, including a circular visor and a textured surface. The helmet's design suggests advanced technology, with visible seams and rivets. The figure's right hand is raised to its chin, showcasing a mechanical glove with articulated fingers and a wristband, indicating a blend of human and machine elements. The figure is draped in a flowing garment with a vibrant yellow and blue color scheme, adding a contrast to the metallic tones of the helmet and glove. The overall composition emphasizes the figure's robotic nature while incorporating elements of traditional attire.

US-Richterin blockiert Abschiebungen von Kindern nach Guatemala
Die US-Regierung will hunderte unbegleitete Minderjährige nach Guatemala abschieben, nach Angaben ihrer Anwälte rechtswidrig. Teils sitzen die Kinder und Jugendlichen schon im Flugzeug. Doch eine Richterin stoppt die Abschiebungen - vorerst.
My only suggestion to this informative list would be to include what platforms you played these games on and/or what platforms they’re available to play on. I seemed to have a pretty low batting average trying to find them on iOS, for instance. But it’d be good to know where else I COULD play them.
The image is a four-panel comic strip with a colorful, psychedelic background. The first panel shows a character sitting at a desk, looking frustrated and holding a pen, with the text "INFINITE POTENTIAL" above. The character is thinking, "How do I pack this down into something I can actually share?" The second panel depicts the same character holding a small, simple object, looking disappointed, with the text "All that work for this?!" The third panel shows another character handing the first character a small object, saying, "Here you go, I made this, it sucks." The fourth panel shows the first character holding a more complex, colorful object, looking surprised, with the text "Infinite potential." The comic humorously illustrates the struggle of distilling complex ideas into simple, shareable forms.

Libertarianism – in a coarse telling – is political philosophy that places primacy on individual freedom over all other values. As such, it’s often placed in contrast to tradition…
Indeed. That web site is about to be closed, with prejudice, due to its choice of passive-aggressive Cookies banner. And I'm not even libertarian, although I briefly toyed with it 45 years ago.
if you think anarchism is individualistic you probably need to read more about anarchism.
Anarchists tend to be dismissive of libertarians, because libertarians haven't followed through the logic of their arguments.
For any of us to be free, we all must be free. The only liberation is collective
Freedom from hierarchy is not an individual concern. Hierarchies are groups, and to be free of them is not to suppose that we have complete freedom, it is to assert that we are all equal
A highly libertarian society, with a vast diversity of values and customs, is a fractured society, without the bonds of common culture except those that emerge in pockets as people of similar preferences gather together
so, like, a globalized, plural society such as the one we’re supposed to be living in?
Or take a personal practice like polygany – the taking of multiple wives. Libertarians would hesitate to regulate such a behaviour, yet polygany can also destabilise society. A deficit of potential mates increases levels of male competition for status, often leading to violent conflict.

It's okay not to know what you want from #nonmonogamy.
Considering how new non-monogamy is to most of us, it's completely understandable not to know precisely what you want from it. Most of us are figuring things out as we go. It's okay to admit to people that you are not settled on exactly what you are looking for. It's all part of your journey.

It really is something extraordinary. And getting to share Prince at his absolute peak with friends and family also helps them understand a bit about what makes so many of us so passionate about him and his legacy. You will really, really be glad if you get to go see Sign O The Times while it’s screening in IMAX.
Took my mom to see Prince’s ‘Sign ☮️ the Times’ in IMAX this afternoon. Not only did it look and sound exquisite, it was such an emotional experience watching my favorite musician of all time, once again.
