5 shops on York Blvd were bought by an equity firm, denied lease renewals, and are being evicted with a 60-day notice. Only 1 found a new location nearby. With rents possibly hitting $10k, these mom-and-pop shops may soon be a memory on York and HLP.
This is Silva, she’s owned and operated this party store for 20yrs & is a deep part of the community. She has absolutely nowhere to go and just wants 6 mo to find somewhere new.
She asked me to share these eviction letters. If u or anyone u know can help her please reach out 🙏
Ten years ago on June 12, 2016: the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
As a queer 16 yr old at the time, it was the first time I really felt the weight of my identity.

ok but the only reason women’s clothes (and dresses in particular) have functional pockets these days is because millennials made a big deal out of it. like i cannot impress upon you how 90% of women’s jeans never used to have pockets you could put anything in. JEANS ffs
never forget how the US used agent orange during the Vietnam War: sprayed on civillians, contaminating land, damaging ecosystems, and generations later kids are still born with disabilities linked to dioxin exposure. The US never issued a formal apology and paid compensation
We are in a deep unprecedented ecological crisis and it starts with how we interact with the insects. Pesticides kill beneficial insects. Insects pollinate our crops and trees. Humanity will collapse without an abundance of insects.
Ive talked about how gothic horror is a fear of the remains of a now dead decadence of the past, ie haunted castles or old haunted mansions. Our modern version of this is evidently empty shopping malls and anamatronic pizzaria arcades
Men take advantage of the chaos created by war and instability to rape children. This poor baby can’t even sit properly because of the injuries she sustained during the ordeal! Congolese children are being abused and exploited in every way imaginable. I’m so angry.
just a few miles from here, queer palestinians in the west bank are blackmailed by israeli intelligence officers into working as informants.
the zone of interest but make it 🏳️🌈 proud 🏳️🌈
I looked this up and it’s being done for courts to recognise assisted reproduction, surrogacy, and same-sex couples during disputes
