The USA are a hellscape

this whole fucking post reads like satire but its not

If that’s not enough to show the USA is an active dystopian nightmare idk what is

No wonder why all of us have anxiety or some mental health condition. We are on a sinking ship and we’re trying to save it with children’s beach buckets.

Attention friends who keep killing their plants!

I found a really good book that I think will help!

It’s really easy to follow and has a wide variety of plants:

You can basically find the plant listed that looks most like the plant you have, and go to the page listed under it. And it’ll say how to care for it!

Here’s an example ^ not only does it say what lighting and watering it needs like most books, but it also lists the different things that can go wrong with this plant and which make us think it’s dying. Like wilting being too much water, edges crisping being not enough misting, what sunburn on this plant looks like, etc.

A common mistake people make that kills plants is too much water or not enough water, it can be tricky until you get used to your plant’s needs! This explains watering techniques really well.

And a bunch of other stuff it shows you, like buying the best plant for your environment, repotting them, feeding them, all sorts of things!

It’s definitely a new favorite 😌

Thank you for the tip! My current apartment is too dark and too hot if summer is hot (around 40C indoors last summer for 2,5 months straight, including night time).  Tropical rain forest nights and days like in Egypt next to a North Pole, yay…..

Anyway! I keep this in mind for my next apartment :3

We are sharing some of our favourite gifs each day this month for Antifa International’s fifth anniversary. Today: Nazi monuments being destroyed after the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Also:

this is Surrealist Claude Cahun, with a nazi eagle gripped in their teeth, after they and their partner/step-sister Marcel Moore were released by Allied forces:

 “For 20 years Schwob and Malherbe lived and worked together on the Channel Island of Jersey. There, they produced a vast collection of photographs, almost exclusively of themselves, in which they toyed obsessively with ideas of identity and gender.
When the Nazis invaded Jersey in 1940, the pair put their fondness for assuming different identities to good use. With great bravery - as well as considerable glee - they managed to convince the Germans that what was just a two-woman resistance movement was actually a complex underground organisation consisting of several hundred members.”

(Note – I’m not sure what pronouns Cahun and Moore would have preferred – the article uses she/her for both)

In yet another example of absent security controls, troves of police body camera footage were left open to the world for anyone to siphon off, according to an infosec biz.

 

Jasun Tate, CEO of Black Alchemy Solutions Group, told The Register on Monday he and his team had identified about a terabyte of officer body cam videos, stored in unprotected internet-facing databases, belonging to the Miami Police Department, and cops in other US cities as well as places aboard. The operators of these databases – Tate suggests there are five service providers involved – work with various police departments. The footage apparently dates from 2018 to present.

 

“Vendors that provide services to police departments are insecure,” said Tate, adding that he could not at present identify the specific vendors responsible for leaving the archive freely accessible to the public….
