You’d be surprised with how many young people are just as bad as their grandparents. Racism is taught, and it’s catching on just as much as acceptance is.

Glad to see my lifelong disinterest in golf is paying off

[princekarkat]

let me tell you about golf

i grew up in a little desert valley called Tucson, Arizona, where it only rains 2 inches a year on average. the majority of the city’s water is pumped from an underground aquifer, which took millions of years to fill. one of the biggest conservation efforts in our city was for water, naturally, and i spent a lot of time learning about low flow toilets and 5 minute showers. i learned that filling your sink basin and washing your dishes in that water is less costly than running the tap. i learned that it only takes 2 days without water on the desert for someone to die

the city was sinking as the aquifer drained. neighborhoods fell into flood zones that didnt exist 10 years ago

there’s a road called Golf Links in the city and it is lined with golf courses. miles of green grass where grass doesn’t grow, in a valley where it doesn’t rain. why? because the rich white retirees who moved there to stop the aching in their joints decided they should also get to play golf. meanwhile our public schools taught small children like me that taking long showers would kill the world

let the golf industry burn

[ralfmaximus]

There are 15,500+ golf courses in the United States alone. 

Each one consumes ~312,000 gallons of water per day.

That consumption is equivalent to 55+ million humans per day in the United States… roughly 1/6 the entire population.

We simply cannot sustain this frivolity, especially for something 99% of us will never use.

Destroy golf courses and plant wild grasses and butterfly bushes in their place.

#ActsofPride Day 12 - Take a mental health break

We partnered with Tumblr Creatr @animatedtext to make an original piece for today’s #ActsofPride. Here’s what the prompt meant to her:

“It’s not always easy for me to prioritize mental health during stressful times. Over the years I’ve learned that small breaks make life more manageable. I was inspired by organizations like Therapy for Black Girls and Beam who provide mental health resources to the black community year round.”

Take care of yourself, Tumblr. <3

Say Their Names

Day 1 of Tumblr’s #ActsOfPride campaign:

These are the black trans lives we have lost due to violence in the United States since 2009. Sadly, this is most likely not a complete list as many of the souls we have lost go unreported or were misgendered. They will not be forgotten.
