The Trump administration has approved two new datacenter chemicals to which exposure can result in “sudden death” and a range of other serious health risks, like cancer, eye corrosion, neurological damage and reproductive harm — according to a new lawsuit.

modesty/purity culture and slut shaming are two sides of the same coin. you are being sexualized either way. when women learn that all women are “whores” “sluts” and “prostitutes” under the patriarchy they will see that virginity and modesty are constructs of patriarchy
Been a while since I first saw this video and I still think what happens fifteen seconds in is the scariest sound I’ve ever heard in my life. If I were a Roman auxiliary and this came echoing through the mists my consciousness would collapse
It is my duty to share the stories where queer Black boys are in them & their love interests are either other blk boys or non blk boys of color.
Happy pride.
Yes, recent news reports are highlighting a vulnerability where a coordinated attack on as few as nine critical power substations could trigger a nationwide blackout lasting up to 18 months.
Why the Grid is at Risk
•Vulnerable Substations: A federal analysis revealed that disabling just nine key substations across the country's power networks could cause a massive, long-term failure.
•Aging Equipment: More than 75% of local distribution transformers (the devices on street corners and utility poles) are older than their 50-year expected life.
•Long Replacement Times: Large power transformers take a very long time to build and replace. Wait times have jumped to 128 weeks (about 2.5 years), with some requiring up to five years.
•Recent Outages: Severe storm damage in Gary, Indiana, which left tens of thousands without power for over a week, demonstrated just how difficult and slow repairing complex power systems can be.
What the Experts Say
•Experts like former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) chairman Jon Wellinghoff warn that public maps make these vital substations easy to find, making them a major security risk.
•If a nationwide outage happens, everyday essentials like clean tap water, cell towers, banking systems, and fuel pumps could shut down within days.
•The combination of aging hardware and delayed manufacturing means that if a large-scale failure happens, the U.S. does not currently have enough spare parts to quickly turn the lights back on.
