The housing epidemic in Hawai’i has reached an all time fucking low.

Let me tell you a little story.

My landlord informed me that he’s in trouble with the building permitting office, and because I have a perfect rental history he wants to relocate me (with my husband and two kids) to another property. I’m like okay fine, I’ll go look at it.

But then I get there … and it’s literally a concrete slab with walls and cheap windows.

This piece of shit had:

No front door

No floor (just raw concrete)

No walls or insulation

No kitchen

No bathroom, shower, or toilet

No septic tank

No electricity

No water or catchment

They want $825 a month

I asked when they were going to finish the cabin. They said it was already done, and we would have to pay for everything else out of pocket.

Is this illegal? Probably. But in my area, there are over 800 displaced residents who are looking for rentals due to the Kīlauea volcano. Someone will probably be desperate enough to take this offer, but not me.

This is the type of housing conditions natives and Hawai’i locals are dealing with so foreigners can have their Air BnBs, vacation rentals, and retirement cabins. So rich politicians can have a second or third home somewhere tropical.

In normal conditions, I would guess that this violates all kinds of housing laws, but in a disaster, it’s doubly illegal, as it’s price gouging. You should report it.

Report any instances of price gouging by emailing ocp@dcca.hawaii.gov with the following information:

Name of business

Location of the business (island, city, area)

Item purchased (any specific information about the product)

Name and contact number of the consumer

During normal business hours, consumers can call the DCCA Consumer Resource Center (CRC) between 7:45 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday at 587-4272 or 587-3295 from Oahu. Residents on the neighbor islands can call the following numbers:

Kauai 274-3141 ext. 74272

Maui 984-2400 ext. 74272

Hawaii 974-4000 ext. 74272

Lanai & Molokai 1-800-468-4644 (toll free)

Q: What are the consequences if a merchant violates the law?

A: Violation of the price increase prohibition is an unfair method of competition, and an unfair deceptive act or practice under Haw. Rev. Stat. § 480-2, subject to civil penalties as provided for in Haw. Rev. Stat. § 480-3.1. Each item sold in violation of the law is a separate violation. Fines of $500, up to $10,000, per day, per violation, are possible.

Mahalo nui for this addition!

I don’t want to disappear without a forewarning.

As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.

The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive.
Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.

Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.

Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.

(x)

This doesn’t just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesn’t belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.

Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:

“As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.

But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. […] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”

Here is the original Article 13. It’s even scarier. / Link 2

Here is how to contact your MEPs.

Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.

Europe is facing a huge problem, and unlike with Net Neutrality, the world doesn’t seem to care.

since i posted that thing yesterday lamenting the lack of direct action i’ve seen in the news regarding the ICE child prisons, here’s an update on two great things that happened today carried out by activists

protestors in portland are camping out round the clock outside of the portland ICE headquarters (this technically began yesterday but has picked up even more steam today). They’ve formed tent camps around the headquarters and have been blocking the entrances to ICE offices to obstruct operations and keep employees from coming and going. At 6pm tonight (june 19) the portland DSA reported that one of the ICE offices where they were protesting was closed, for reasons apparently related to the protests

(credit)

also tonight in d.c., metro d.c. DSA members protested inside of a mexican restaurant where homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen was eating dinner and forced her to leave. You can watch the full video here. DSA members on twitter said that the majority of the other customers in the restaurant were supportive and cheered and high-fived them as they left.

If you don’t like it move lmao

Uh, no. You will move. All the way over to a smoking area. Tf you think this is?

And if non smokers move that’s when people start to complain with the whole “UHM, WE’RE NOT MONSTERS WE’RE SMOKERS UWU” arguement

like bro i vape 0% nico shit but i still dont condone passive murder, so i move my ass too, get to the damn designated smoking areas.

You chose to start smoking, you chose to light up in a public place.

I did not choose to breathe your fucking smoke.

Get the fuck out of here with your selfish horseshit.

also some of us are FUCKING ALLERGIC

People: hey smoking is extremely bad and is literally your choice but like none of us want to get cancer or die or have potential lung damage cause some of us have lung conditions so could you kindly not smoke directly into my eye lids?

Smokers: HeY! This Is a FrEE country MaN!! DoNT like IT? DonT brEaTH iT!

Smokers children: *grow up with horrible lung damage*

Smokers: how could society do this to my kids?

I like how the world has literally come to arguing over whether people should be able to breathe or not

fr tho, secondhand smoke is dangerous. Smoking is a choice, but you have to confine that choice to yourself. You can’t be exposing people who made the choice not to smoke. Especially because some people (myself included) can’t tolerate even a small amount of smoke. Follow the rules, look for the signs. And even if there’s not a “No Smoking” sign, avoid smoking there unless you own the place or it’s been established explicitly that you CAN smoke there.

It may seem ridiculous to get told not to smoke at all in public, but you literally have no way of knowing when you’re going to encounter someone who can’t breathe even the tiniest bit of your smoke. (Just last week someone in the parking lot was smoking and they walked past me and it set off an asthma attack. Just from that. What am I supposed to do, never go out ever on the off chance that I might pass a smoker? Or the should the smoker, perhaps, finish their smoke in their car, or in a designated smoker area that I know to avoid?)

And as the CDC says, there is no risk free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. So keep it to yourself in your own space, guys.

For real though, the smoke off of bacon when my girlfriend is cooking is enough to trigger an asthma attack. Tobacco smoke is nearly ten times worse then that is.

ALL forms of smoke will set off my asthma. Tobacco, marijuana, even vape smoke will cause it to go. If you are smoking in a public setting, you are ALWAYS risking and harming the people next to you.

You have the right to decide to smoke or not. You do not have the right to make me breathe your second hand smoke, regardless of what it is from. You do not have the right to make all public spaces potentially deadly to other people.

Tobacco smoke can cause sudden and acute cardiac distress (ie, fucking heart attacks) in trans women on HRT.

You never know who you’re gonna fucking kill with that shit. As the smoker, it is your sole responsibility to not make it someone else’s problem.

Sincerely, someone who manages to only smoke around people who want to breathe it with extremely little difficulty.
