“Local chapters of the Panthers, often led by women, focused attention on community ‘survival programs’. They organized a free breakfast program for 20,000 children each day as well as a free food program for families and the elderly…
Women made up about half of the Panther membership and often held leadership roles. Vanetta Molson directed Seattle’s survival programs. Lynn French in Chicago and Audre Dunham in Boston were inspirational local leaders. Elaine Brown became the national chairwoman in 1972. Still, the organization’s members struggled to overcome gender inequality.”

For our newly established "Cafe Zapałka" (Cafe Matchstick) - a social center focused on climate justice - I found a perfect match for the main theme poster.
Unfortunately, I only have a small version, and.my search for original source and author yelds zero returns.
Please, help us:
- find the source or the author
- find the picture in hi-res
- or redraw/reinterpret it in hi-res, so we can use it.
This is strictly non-commercial request and all credits will be given.

If AI/LLMs are cut off from stolen human labour, their outputs turn to meaningless gibberish due to model collapse.
If AI/LLM owners are forced to pay for human labour instead of stealing it, they go bankrupt.
If AI/LLM data centres are forced to stay within energy consumption levels compatible with fighting climate change, they have to close down the overwhelming majority of their capacity.
AI/LLMs are just not sustainable, they can only function through labour theft and burning the planet. They're not so much new technology as a new type of ponzi scheme.

What’s inside a disposable vape? A surprisingly good lithium battery… and a whole lot of wasted potential.
2ndChanceMND decided that was nonsense. They’re cracking open vapes, harvesting their power cells, and turning them into battery packs powering anything from cordless power tools to e-bikes. Learn more about them at the link below.
