The entire city of Richmond, VA (where I live) and some surrounding areas are currently having a water crisis after the city'ss water treatment plant failed.

~300,000 people are without safe drinking water. About half of that are without water at ALL. People can't shower, wash their hands, or flush the toilet. We have three major hospitals all without running water.

No estimates for when water will be restored exist. The city is not communicating with us at all. The governor, WHO LIVES IN THE CITY, hasn't said a word about it. National Guard, FEMA, nobody has been mobilized to support us. It's not getting any media coverage outside of our local news.

If you can, please share the word so there's more attention to this. There's so many people in danger here, especially those in vulnerable condition like patients or the elderly who are at risk of death, and we need some noise to be made about this.

Please share and thank you if you can <3 Also, if you are around Richmond or know anyone in Richmond, please see what you can do to offer water to those in need in the city, or reach out to your Richmond friends to see if there's anything you can do for them. We're having like three hours long water distribution in two locations every day and it's not enough.

Richmond area’s water crisis continues for a third day

Wednesday is the third day of the city of Richmond and surrounding areas encountering water problems.

EDIT Jan 8, 2025: UPDATE!

The neighboring county (henrico county) had their systems contaminated with our water, so now ~600,000 people are without clean and safe drinking water. Potable water trucks have been deployed to hospitals and water distribution centers have been set up, but everything is still scant.

It has been 3 days. This is still going.

PLEASE KEEP SHARING, MAKING NOISE, CHECKING ON YOUR FRIENDS! AND DONATE TO ANY VALID RELIEF FUNDS YOU SEE!

It’s funny how science fiction universes so often treat humans as a boring, default everyman species or even the weakest and dumbest.

I want to see a sci fi universe where we’re actually considered one of the more hideous and terrifying species.

How do we know our saliva and skin oils wouldn’t be ultra-corrosive to most other sapient races? What if we actually have the strongest vocal chords and can paralyze or kill the inhabitants of other worlds just by screaming at them? What if most sentient life in the universe turns out to be vegetable-like and lives in fear of us rare “animal” races who can move so quickly and chew shit up with our teeth?

Like that old story “they’re made of meat,” only we’re scarier.

if you’re having a bad day, here’s a cute little marching band

How to spot signs and symptoms of Breast Cancer 

Business: Big Daddies of Helluva Hazbin

Lucifer: (squaring his shoulders as he stands outside his office/bedroom) Alright, Charlie. You know the drill. I have an important meeting today that might go through tomorrow. I'm trusting you to be a good girl while I'm gone.

Charlie: Daaaaaaad, I'm not a little girl anymore. I can manage myself and the hotel just fine. I did it before.

Lucifer: I know. I know. Just... want you to remember I love you more than anything. (Hugs Charlie and opens the door to his room) Off I go!

SLAM!!!

Vaggie: What was that all about?

Charlie: (sighs) Dad's been having an annual meeting with some of the princes of the other rings for a while now, and he always seems so depressed beforehand. This is the one he absolutely refuses to let me sit in on. (Deflates slightly) Honestly, it makes me a little worried.

Vaggie: (holds Charlie's hand) Hey, I'm sure everything is fine. Your dad is the King of Hell, after all. He can handle himself.

-Cut to the dark depths of Lucifer's bedroom. An apple themed calander is hanging on the wall with the day circled in thick, black marker and "Divorce Anniversary" written in the block-

Lucifer: (sitting on a plush, red love seat, wrapped in a cozy blanket, wearing apple pajamas with a face mask, and eating a bowl of Apple Jack's cereal pitifully as the glow of the TV illuminates the room)

TV: Ay! Why won't you love me, Alejandro?!

Lucifer: Preach it, sister. (Takes a bite of cereal as his phone rings, and he answers the video call)

Stolas: (in a similar situation only wearing a robe that's too big and eating Shooting Stars Lucky Charms) Gabriella is such a mood.

Lucifer: (through a mouth full of cereal) I know, right?! He doesn't deserve you, Gabriella! You can do so much better!

-Circus Fanfare plays-

Lucifer: Hold on, Stolas. I gotta patch someone in. (Presses a button)

Ozzy: (wearing a robe that's too small, wrapped in a blanket with his flame hair rolled in curlers, and eating Wheaties) Hey, guys! Still in the heartbreak phase?

Lucifer & Stolas: (nod with pitiful, kicked puppy eyes)

Ozzy: (puppy eyes as he wails with Lucifer and Stolas) Gabriella, no! Baby girl, he ain't worth your time!

What a time to be trans and alive in America. If you follow me, you are probably already horribly aware of the hundreds of pieces of anti-trans legislation that have been introduced in nearly every state, some seeking to ban trans healthcare for both minors and adults, some to ban drag, to ban trans people from restrooms, from sports teams, and in some of the most extreme cases take trans children away from parents who support their transitions. I highly recommend following The Trans Formations Project for their daily updates on the progress of these bills through the state government. They also have a very helpful tool on their website where you can search representatives by state and see exactly which legislators have introduced or voted on anti-trans bills, so you know exactly who to call and complain to about their terrible policies. The Trans Formations Project is active on insta, tumblr, twitter, discord, tiktok and FB. They are currently seeking volunteers and taking donations through their website. If you have the means, here are some other organizations you can support to combat these bills:

ACLU or especially the ACLU of Tennessee, which is ready to fight Tennessee’s new anti-drag bill in court

The Trans Law Center especially their Trans Health Legal Fund, which provides resources for trans people facing investigation, arrest or prosecution for seeking healthcare

Trans Life Line, a crisis support line in English and Spanish

Trans Latina Coalition

The Marsha P Johnson Institute

TGI Justice Project

For the Gworls

Keep up your courage! Keep up your strength! We’ve also had some pieces of good news this week too- Minnesota has become a refuge state for trans folks seeking gender-affirming healthcare, Michigan just expanded their protections of LGTBQ citizens, and Wyoming rejected a trans healthcare ban. All is not lost, but if you see a bill moving through your state’s legislation, please do make some noise about it!
