Jane Austen, from Emma
solidarity between lgbt people (that means community wide solidarity and also solidarity that focuses on those who need our support the most like lesbians and trans women) is really the simplest step. if you dont have love in your heart for all of your fellow lgbt people and heartbreak at the ones who are left behind then what are you here for. instagram clout?
We need everyone's help right now to protect the rainforest and Indigenous People
The Amazon Rainforest is under a massive threat. I know you've heard this a million times, but this is different. There is a piece of legislation that will decimate the rights of Indigenous people of Brazil, who have been protecting the rainforest. It's unfathomably bad. It has majority support. And they're voting tomorrow. As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
The thing you can do—and I know this sounds overly simple—is sign this petition—and tell your friends to do the same: SIGN HERE.
As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
Again, this bill has majority support. You may be wondering, why will a petition signed by people who don't live in Brazil make any difference? Because it will give those opposing it political air cover. It will show the world is with them.
But we need a LOT of signatures.
Please do this simple act and spread the word.
Sick of hearing about "Grime" and "Musk". Let's hear about "Soap" and "Fragrance" for once.
exercise is important and good for you but the way its discussed is so inextricably wrapped in like weight loss and it being a moral failing to be unathletic or whatever and that really sucks
like im someone who does more strenuous exercise (tho literally just like. walking a half hour every day is perfectly ideal) but i dont care if it affects my weight or not bc regardless i know im doing something healthy for my lifestyle. when i lose weight as a byproduct, fine, its not my goal. if i dont, fine, it doesnt matter to me bc my body is doing what it needs to do. i think thats a pretty healthy frame of mind for it. like it needs to be reframed as what it is- something good for your physical and mental health , not as a means to an end of getting skinny or as a punishment
also the way Exercise as a concept exists now is definitely like a result of capitalism lol like it being sort of a commodity instead of just an intrinsic part of life. the way it feels unnatural to many ppl now and has to be forced is bc our lives are structured in such a way as to make it unnatural- ie cities hostile to pedestrians/bikers, physically/mentally exhausting long shifts that make it unnappealing to find time in the day for healthier physical exertion, etc. plus exercise as a concept becoming an industry- its not smth you just do, its something youre expected to buy the ability to do. etc
