Earlier this month, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on Twitch.tv to have some fun gaming and raise funds for EWOC.
That stream generated more than $10,000 to drive new worker organizing!
If you want to join in and help support the wave of workers eager to learn how to improve their conditions at work, become an EWOC donor.
If you're in need of that support, we're here for you. We can help any worker in any industry in any part of the country to help get you started.
And if you want to be part of this growing effort, we need you. No previous experience is necessary. We'll train you on what you need to know and get you plugged in right away on this important work.
Lieutenant Gov. Sylvia Luke cautions that it will take the island, and its people, a long time to recover. "A lot of individuals will have mental health issues that they're suffering. They have never been in a situation where they just overnight lost the businesses that they invested in," she says. "It's going to take years, sometimes maybe decades, for us to replace some of the infrastructure, including schools and roads." Officials say some 14,000 residents remain without power as crews work to contain the blazes. Luke said internet and cell phone service are down on parts of the island, making it hard for people to check in with their loved ones or call for help. And while the Big Island and Maui County have shelters, she says they are crowded with evacuees and have also been forced to close down and reopen in new locations to avoid the fire's path. The historic town of Lahaina — a popular tourist destination and economic hub — has been especially hard-hit. Luke got a glimpse of the destroyed homes and businesses firsthand while taking a Coast Guard flight over the area. "It just looked like the whole town went ... into ashes," she said. "And we're so heartbroken to see this happen before our eyes." Former President Barack Obama, who grew up in Honolulu, wrote on X that "it's tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai'i — a place that's so special to so many of us." He encouraged people to donate to the Hawai'i Community Foundation's "Maui Strong" fund:
If I drove a bulldozer through an apple store and the cops just shoved me in a closet and pumped me full of DMT for 8 hours id literally just do it again the second they let me out
This is like the best admission I've ever heard that prison sentences are about fucked up torture rather than keeping dangerous people out of society.
There's literally an entire Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode about how effed up this concept is.
As the Sci-Fi writer in question here, do NOT invent the Torment Nexus. Seriously. No.
This is so Gender of Crowley and honestly I’m here for it
uh so i never do this but maui is quite literally on fire and there isn't nearly enough care or consideration for. you know. Native Hawaiians who live here being displaced and the land (and cultural relevance) that's being eaten up by the fire. so if ya'll wanna help, here's some links:
maui food bank: https://mauifoodbank.org/
maui humane society: https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/
center for native hawaiian advancement: https://www.memberplanet.com/campaign/cnhamembers/kakoomaui
hawai'i red cross: https://www.redcross.org/local/hawaii/ways-to-donate.html
please reblog and spread the word if you can't donate.
Just learning about this (!), and reblogging for visibility.
Also sending worried love to all my friends and all the people I don't know in Maui.
Few of the monsters that evolution created have been so successful at hurting us as the variola virus, responsible for smallpox. The carnage it caused was so terrible and merciless that it compelled humankind, for the first time, to act truly globally. It was one of the greatest wins of our species over the ancient powers of nature, all made possible by… cows.

About the Artist
Hello, crab fans. Wow, you have been having a busy time! On July 29, also known as Crabs Day, you took to TumblrMart to give the gift of crabs to your pals. And boy, did we notice—not just all the great crab memes and trending posts on the day but also the burst in sales which made up a substantial financial boost to the running costs at Tumblr. And it truly took our breath away.
We got so excited we went back to the drawing board and designed some crab checkmarks, which we teased by dressing your regular checkmarks up as crabs on the day. On August 1, we launched a regular little crab checkmark and a rainbow crab checkmark for gifting and treating yourselves.
Here are some stats from Crabs Day:
- You gifted 8k crabs that day. That’s an almost 20k% increase in crab sales.
- We saw a more than 7k% increase in total Tumblrmart sales.
All this money goes straight back into running costs—such as a month’s worth of power costs for Tumblr application servers. That’s all you! You’re doing that! You’re keeping Tumblr around with your generosity toward your friends. Crabs be thanking ye ❤
Appreciation
I’m not often speechless but today, I was. Since I retired from Plugins, it’s been really quiet for me. Which is the way I like it. I still sit on the sidelines, happy to advise and dredge up old history. I covered a couple exceptional cases with developers who were on the verge of being banned (and happily managed to get one on the right track). But the only plugins I reviewed were for work or…
Aerial video showed dozens of homes and businesses in Lahaina flattened, including on Front Street, a favorite spot for tourists to shop and dine. Smoking heaps of rubble lay piled high next to the waterfront, boats in the harbor were scorched, and gray smoke hovered over the leafless skeletons of charred trees.
There was no count available for the number of people who have evacuated, but officials said there were four shelters open housing 2,100 people.
"Local people have lost everything," said James Tokioka, director of the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism. "They've lost their house, they've lost their animals."
In a separate tweet, President Barack Obama recommended donating to:
why are so many of you not saving the backup codes they give you when you set up two-factor authentication
uh what backup codes?
on tumblr they are right under your 2fa settings
same for google/gmail (if you use google authenticator you can sync your codes using your google account so as long as you have these you can get all the rest of them, whether this is secure enough for your liking is up to you)
in proton.me they give you the codes when you set up 2fa (i had to set it up a second time to get this screenshot lmao)
amazon doesn't have backup codes but they let you authorize multiple authentication apps as well as refusing to let you disable sms codes, so you can actually install an authenticator on your pc as well as your phone so if you lose access to one you still have the other
i like to print them or stick them in the back of the bullet journal i keep in my wallet, as well as saving them in the notes section of my password manager
please please please download your backup codes and save them in a safe location
Here’s what happens if you lose your phone or authenticator and don’t have your backup codes:
You’ll never log in again.
Security rocks, do set up 2FA, but be smart about it too.
i’m going to keep it real with you tumblr userbase… if we don’t want tumblr as we know it completely ruined you’re probably going to have to flood tumblr on the app store with 1-star reviews. we need to make their ANALYTICS hurt. we need to make management scared. we need to explain in those reviews exactly why we are mad. say what we don’t want changed (or do want changed back). i am so serious.
Here is a handy dandy graph for you!
“Golly gee, lets make this barely surviving website struggle more, Im sure that will fix things, and not result in shutting down”
Fucking hell how do you guys get so butt hurt over UI improvements. Notthing of substance has changed about tumblr you guys. Reblogs, asks, submissions, no character limit, mix of text and image, dashboard, userbase, these, are what tumblr tumblr. Not what shade of blue the logo is.
They have feedback tickets. If you have criticism to give, use those.
Yes thank you for saying this. 1 star reviews hurt Tumblr in the long run and make it harder for us to continue working on this hellsite. Please email support with issues don’t 1 star the app.

[ID: the Supernatural "I love you" meme. The 2nd box reads: "Wayne Brady just came out as pan." End ID.]
Here's the video he posted on tiktok:
[ID: a 32-second tiktok of Wayne Brady, accompanied by 3 dancers, lipsyncing and dancing to "It's All Coming Back To Me Now." He starts the video in a pink bathrobe, then reappears in a pink suit and a long wig. The other dancers wave a rainbow flag. End ID.]
the video description (which doesn't appear with the video outside the tiktok app, annoyingly) says:
As someone who gets to bring joy to others daily on tv, it's been ironic that I don't experience it as much as I'd like. I advocate mental health for all and a part of that is self transparency. In doing my work, I've come to see a few truths, one of them being that I want to be free to l love whomever I want. This truth makes me pan and part of the lgbtq+ family. It's scary as hell to say it out loud but here it is. The people I admire most are the ones brave enough to be themselves unapologetically. This shouldn't shake anyone's world, but if it bothers you at all, that's your business:) I was so afraid of having my manhood questioned, but screw that. A "real man" in my eyes, isn't afraid to be honest and happy. From now on, I'll be over here living my best life. I love you @Mandietaketa @Maile Masako @Jason
