A man named Wynn Alan Bruce used self immolation (settings oneself on fire) in front of the Supreme Court to protest government inaction on fighting climate change. This method of protest was made famous by Buddhists monks protesting the atrocities of the Vietnam War. Our Earth will be destroyed because saving it is not profitable. The government will not make the news of this man’s sacrifice and its reason well known, they don’t want it to be known. Destroy capitalism, save the earth. Rest in power Wynn.
not to be all “the makeup industry is evil” but I have a 4 year old student who wears makeup a lot because she says she’s not pretty without it and needs it to look pretty. her mom lets her and even took her to sephora to buy her her own makeup. she’s 4. she should be worried about playing pretend and running outside and having fun and instead she’s had multiple breakdowns because she puts on too much lipstick or eyeliner and it smudges off.
anyway, fuck the makeup industry and fuck parents who teach their daughters that they have no worth or beauty if they don’t have it because of their own insecurities
California began capitalizing on pay-to-stay by offering so-called “nicer” jails for those willing to pay, as The New York Times reported in 2007.

An article in Salon pointed out these jails also afford amenities such as “semi-private rooms, single showers, and the ability to … make phone calls whenever.” (Read More)
I hope people are recognizing that this is awful because these basic amenities should be accessible to prisoners in general and shouldn’t be paid for. I hope that people aren’t hating this because they believe prisoners don’t deserve any of these things. I hope people also recognize that I’m aware of the “even more serious crimes” part and that the people often falsely charged and convicted of these “serious” crimes are usually poc and mentally ill people.
