SEA/PDX protest medic donation request
Hey so a medic crew here in Seattle that has been showing up for the spiciest shit had several of their members arrested last night, and they estimate that replacing gear, bail, legal, and ancillary costs are gonna end up being as high as $3k.
So, if you're able, a donation would be really appreciated right now 💜

fundraiser: Afro-Latina mother's college transcript on hold in collections
"I currently hold a 4.0 G.P.A at Bunker Hill Community College and was pregnant the entire time. I had a baby a month early and drop all of my classes because of the difficult recovery and living as a single mother in a shelter with a newborn and sick toddler.
Without knowing, I didn’t drop a class and it went into collections, my transcript for bunker hill is now on hold for 2k. I’m asking for help with funds for this as well as funds for 3 classes at Deaf INC in Allston... Lastly, funds would also be going to College application fees and scholarships applications fees to Northeastern University, Boston University, Northern Essex Community College, Bristol Community College, Gallaudet University Online, and Framingham State University."
$843 raised of $4,000 goal

LGBT rights in Poland, police brutality
Please fucking boost this as far as possible. Please, PLEASE.
A Polish trans activist named Margot was arrested. Her "crime" is minor destruction of property (she cut up a tarp on a truck covered with vicious anti-LGBT propaganda).
Her pre-emptive arrest for two months was authorized by a court, despite the fact that such arrest, by Polish law, are meant to be used for people who are a flight risk or an immediate danger to others.
But wait, there's more.

Math is fun!
Take the graph of y = 1/x from 1 to infinity. Rotate it about the x-axis.
The result has infinite surface area and finite volume; that is, you can fill it, but you can't paint it.
A Planck length is a unit of length which can be derived from Planck's constant. It is the smallest length which is possible in our Universe.
And it's unimaginably tiny. A hundredth of a billionth of a billionth of the size of a proton. But this is significant. Anything smaller than a Planck length cannot exist. It would not make physical sense.
Planck lengths are basically Universe pixels.
