Hello! I know this isn’t my usual content but I want to spread awareness because this not only effects the environment but us too.

There’s a project going on called “The Willow Project.” This project is supposed to created new oil of the fields of Alaskan North Slope. This will apparently also help with energy sources. These things may seem good but in reality, it isn’t. If this project is approved this could effect climate change to s state where it will be nearly impossible to fix. Not only that but this will melt the snow and ice and will kill almost every animal that rely on the cold environment like Polar Bears, Penguins, and many more. And this can also hurt us- but there is a way to help. If you can, please sign the petitions, this can help try and stop it. You don’t have to donate, singing the petitions can help and if you can, please share the word!

If you’d like to now more, here!

Please consider signing, and if not, at least spread the word, thank you!

netflix is about to lose so many subscribers. like they think blocking password sharing is the answer when in reality they're almost exclusively hurting pissed off families with split living situations & people who don't have constant access to wifi. these people and the people they shared their pw with are not going to be like "aw darn well better make another account for my son in college and pay double now :)" they're gonna say "well this fucking sucks and isn't worth the money anymore" and CANCEL Netflix ahdhdjakajajdjsjakssjsj

Reblog to tank netflix

“I always say I don’t want to be put up on any sort of pedestal or be the only person that’s representing an entire community, because the community is so vast and diverse in and of itself. To say that I represent all of the LGBT community would be unfair to the LGBT community. But as far as visibility for trans people, this is huge, and it’s so important. Even on Instagram, I’ve gotten thousands of messages from young trans people and trans people of all ages saying how important and how huge it is that someone with the platform that Taylor Swift has, especially in the times that we’re in now, used a trans man as her love interest. And she had multiple trans people in the party scene. There were people of all different backgrounds, sexualities, and identities. As far as legislation, if we look at what’s happening now, the latest bill in Oklahoma, for example, that bans gender-affirming care until the age of 26, there was rhetoric that all this anti-trans legislation was really about protecting the children. But banning care until they’re 26 years old proves that it was never about children. The horrible things that people say about trans people—and these are people that have political power—have real-life, real-world consequences. That’s our lives. If you just look at the increase in violence against the LGBT community, especially trans and non-binary people, it’s increased tremendously in the last two years, because of this anti-trans rhetoric. It’s January and already 124 anti-LGBT bills have been introduced. This just proves that this is about criminalizing our existence and not wanting us to exist, but we exist despite all this propaganda. We’re just human beings. We want access to liberties and freedoms, just like everyone else. And we deserve them. We’re here, and taking away our access to health care, to housing, to employment isn’t going to make us disappear.”

— Laith Ashley to Elle on what he hopes people take away from the video (x)

honestly taylor having laith ashley in her video is representative of one of the things i love about the way she’s interacting with the world lately - she speaks with action. there’s so much emphasis on “speaking out” (and then backlash against those who don’t) but so often that’s just a tweet or a reposted infographic and it feels flat? and generic? but taylor casting him as her love interest, making him this object of her love and her desire, says that she, taylor swift, biggest pop star in the world who influences pop culture with everything she does, believes that there is a place for trans people to be loved and desired and cherished and that place is with her. she doesn’t have to say she supports trans people, she’s just going to do it. there is absolutely an argument that she should still speak up more, but i would always rather see this kind of action than a tweet or an instagram story and this just feels so so much more important and impactful

Every person need to be taught disability history

Not the “oh Einstein was probably autistic” or the sanitized Helen Keller story. but this history disabled people have made and has been made for us.

Teach them about Carrie Buck, who was sterilized against her will, sued in 1927, and lost because “Three generations of imbeciles [were] enough.”

Teach them about Judith Heumann and her associates, who in 1977, held the longest sit in a government building for the enactment of 504 protection passed three years earlier.

Teach them about all the Baby Does, newborns in 1980s who were born disabled and who doctors left to die without treatment, who’s deaths lead to the passing of The Baby Doe amendment to the child abuse law in 1984.

Teach them about the deaf students at Gallaudet University, a liberal arts school for the deaf, who in 1988, protested the appointment of yet another hearing president and successfully elected I. King Jordan as their first deaf president.

Teach them about Jim Sinclair, who at the 1993 international Autism Conference stood and said “don’t mourn for us. We are alive. We are real. And we’re here waiting for you.”

Teach about the disability activists who laid down in front of buses for accessible transit in 1978, crawled up the steps of congress in 1990 for the ADA, and fight against police brutality, poverty, restricted access to medical care, and abuse today.

Teach about us.
