This is a hotline to report ICE activity and police/ICE collab activity. It's run by the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition.
This is bilingual (English/Spanish) hotline.
You never know who this information might help, in the words of CIRC, let's fight for a more just and welcoming Colorado for all.
Was reminded of this image again today:
"I don't wear 🏳️🌈 [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide."
Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap).
Pawperty Damage now has steam trading cards. Some of them are just of the various character's paws. they really, truly do know their market.
what i'm saying is that even though it's very, very barebones as a game, you should get pawperty damage because it's funny as fuck and actually kinda fun, works great on steamdeck, and i'm just tickled by people now being able to effectively sell feetpics on the steam marketplace.
Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.
"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".
You're welcome. Please boost for others.
