Prisons find new ways to destroy whole communities of people. And we’re done playing with pronouns… This week’s hot list: we finally decide what to do about our pronouns, yt supremacist patriarchal capitalism introduces skyping as a substitute for visitation bc wtf, Rykers island is freezing and we want to help since it’s Rykers and no one gives a sh!t, Affordable Care Act deadline is Friday!!!
