Wishing y’all all the best

A lot of cities and areas have been setting up mutual aid groups and hotlines for people to call. I would do a search online for those that may be in your area.

I don’t know much about the specifics, but I know there are searchable databases that ICE keeps with detainee’s info and location of detention. You will need their full name, date of birth, and country of origin at the very least but likely additional info as well. Warning tho, there’s also been many reports of ICE not properly adding every detainee into these searchable systems, so keep that in mind…

Oregonian here. There’s currently over 100 fires burning across our state. 5 of them currently considered mega-fires.

Our state-level firefighters, as well as the federal-level are seriously, seriously underpaid. If you’re the letter-to-politician-writing type, please help advocate for better pay and benefits for our firefighters

Its been awhile since I’ve lived in the city, and even longer since I’ve visited these folks’ place, but if you’re in the Portland, OR area Free Geek is definitely worth checking out!

Copy paste from their “about” section:

Right on, thanks for the info!

Oh damn. Was coolroms part of that too? I’ve used emuparadise and coolroms a bunch over the years. Kinda makes me want to stock up just in case

I’m OOTL, which ROM sites got shut down?

I really thought that the headline had to be at least just a little hyperbolic…

Nope. It’s for real.

The size of your flower room, as well as the amount of, and size of, your carbon filters and fans would be relevant info.

Carbon filters do have a lifespan. And their lifespan is also affected by the overall humidity in your room while they’re running. (Higher humidity reduces it…)

Hell yea. I got these saved for later!

I feel like you’ll probably really enjoy Charlie Parr as well, if you don’t already know him

I really enjoyed that, thank you

It really seems like my grocery store (a Kroger brand) has been doing this for a bit now.

Prices on certain things vary wildly depending on the time of the month or the day of the week. Plus, with their bullshit, incessant push for everyone to use their app and online ordering, it seems like this will be much more common moving forward.

As an aspiring homesteader, this was an educational and entertaining read! Thanks!

Thanks for the work you do

lemmyverse.net is also a great tool to find communities and instances

Sometimes when the news, or life or whatever, gets me down, I come back to this song. And I remember that a better world is possible, so long as we all try.

I hope this song sparks a lil something in you, the same as it does me

If you want to cry tears of pain and rage, listen to Dajah’s statement (one of the survivors) at the trial of the shooter. It’s…heavy, you’ve been warned.
