US Citizens living abroad can request absentee ballots easily. Start your ballot request or find your state’s voting rules here.votefromabroad.org
For those who might use this service, by "Helpful Reminders" they mean they will email you every three days with messages like "Make sure your ballot gets home in time" and "Stephen Colbert & friends have a message for you…" and "Americans abroad are voting. Have you?", all in the colorful HTML mail with bold emphasis and pressuring techniques borrowed from the advertising industry.
I found it quite annoying and don't plan to use this service again.

@ninapaleyThat looks painful. Put some cold water or lotion on it.
Could it be something in the sunscreen such as a fragrance, chemical, or dye? The best sunscreen is natural mineral based sunscreens with no fragrance. Zinc oxide is a good sunscreen, but it's white and chalky.
Certain drugs can make people photosensitive.
If it doesn't get better, and your primary physician can't help you, you might have to see a dermatologist.

SEATTLE — Police are investigating after multiple gunshots were fired into a home in Ballard early Sunday morning. The Seattle Police Department said the house was “potentially targeted due to political and ideological signs in the window of the residence.”
According to the SPD, officers responded to reports of shots fired at a home around 3 a.m. Sunday. Responding officers found several bullet holes in the window of the home where the signs were hung.

@KaiXin There was a project that intended to give it this functionality called Wayland on Wires, but it seems to have died, at least I've not seen any actual deployment or news from that group lately.
Wayland is, as near as I can tell, an interface to provide an efficient gaming experience and not much more.

one of the subtler benefits I’ve noticed in reclaiming my own music library is I can put on a new album and there can be a vibe change part way through without leaving me wondering whether it’s still the album or if it’s finished and switched over to algorithmic feed.
turns out constant vigilance for the algorithm is really shit for the enjoyment of art!

Coming soon from subMedia in collaboration with Peter Gelderloos, the third and final installment of It’s Revolution or Death Part 3: Reclaiming the World, Wherever We Stand.
Parts 1 and 2 examined the failures of state and capitalist solutions to the climate crisis as well as revolutionary movements of people defending the planet. Part 3 seeks to provide helpful insights and experience for newer anarchists who are just getting started organizing around the climate crisis and building methods of transformative survival.
If you haven’t already check out parts 1 and 2 at sub.media/its-revolution-or-de… and sub.media/its-revolution-or-de…
Or, better yet, get ready to find a place and screen all three parts together with your friends and comrades!

As Trump defunds Planned Parenthood, it's a good time to look at histories of abortion struggles that reject the government and major institutions and instead build feminist popular power from below, including the ability to conduct abortions and other reproductive care.
In my 2024 article “'To Repulse the State from Our Uteri': Anarcha-feminism, Reproductive Freedom, and Dual Power” I analyze how anarcha-feminists critiqued the state and attempted to build feminist dual power in response to the New Right’s attacks on reproductive freedom.
From the 1970s to today, anarcha-feminists have sought to build grassroots infrastructure, knowledge, and organizations like self-help groups in which they learn how to conduct abortions and other reproductive care, thus taking back power from the state and medical industry.
Women’s capacity to care for their own bodies and reproduction materially lessens state power. Establishing grassroots reproductive health care infrastructure is a key component of building autonomy and feminist dual power that challenges the rule of the state and capitalism.
Read more on anarcha-feminist abortion struggles in my article in Radical History Review “'To Repulse the State from Our Uteri': Anarcha-feminism, Reproductive Freedom, and Dual Power,” which you can find at the @library theanarchistlibrary.org/librar…

Tampa banner drop tells Turning Point USA (TPUSA) to GTFO
On the 7th of July, a banner drop in Tampa, FL warned TPUSA to get the fuck out of Tampa, which would require them to cancel their upcoming convention
On the 12th of July, Turning Point USA will be meeting in Tampa FL for a series of "Summits." This is Charlie Kirk's dangerous group of Fascists. When they were at the Tampa Convention Center in 2022, they even drew people in Nazi uniform with swastika flags. This was just weeks after Dobbs, and told me we were in for a very rough ride.

how do you reduce the risk of a lithium ion battery fire?
* never tinker with a battery;
* only use certified, manufacturer-approved batteries and chargers;
* keep it in sight while it charges;
* if you notice anything out of the ordinary — strange odours, discolouration, excessive heat, change in shape, leaking or odd noises — stop using it and contact the manufacturer.
