Thank you to everyone who supports my work and has donated to the documentary.

I just added more funds to the guys commissaries - they drain them even when we communicate via the prison email system which is ridiculous. So thank you for helping me with that burden. We also sent them more books.

I know it means a lot to them 🩷
FDA No Longer Requires Animal Testing Before Human Clinical Trials by Carolyn Hendler, JD

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is no longer requiring pharmaceutical companies to test new drugs and biologics (vaccines) on animals prior to human clinical trials and licensure.

I don't use Steam often anymore as I prefer DRM free options but I ran across a curator group today that is awesome. It's a tracker that warns which games have been worked on by a company called Sweet Baby Inc. Why does this matter ? They employ people who are anti white and their sole job on games is to "tell better, more empathetic stories while diversifying and enriching the video games industry.". Luckily for me most of the game son the list were never going to be on my wishlist anyway but it's ncie to have a heads up as to which games are going to have worthless BS in it.

We need help to pay for our backups. This is a yearly funding campaign that we do, so if you can help us please see here www.tromsite.com/trom-backup/ - we only need 300 Euros for a full year of 4TB encrypted backups.

This means everything from our videos and documentaries, books, websites, including trom.tf (meaning all of the files that users have uploaded to our services - from Peertube videos to Nextcloud files). Everything!

300 Euros to make sure that we have everything backed-up in a secure place.

Please help if you can and thanks a lot for doing that!
