Apparently Nickelodeon wants to build an attraction in Palawan, Philippines .

This might seem fun for some people, but for us it’s not.

You see, Palawan is known for its non-commercialized islands and untouched beaches. There are only a few resorts in there, and the government limits tourism population there. Here are some pictures of our beautiful islands:

Nickelodeon, however, wants to capitalize the island of Coron, Palawan. They’re going to build a resort and theme park there. They claim that they want to “spread environmental awareness” but they’re really not. Building this resort will disrupt the marine ecosystem; thus destroying the environment there. Also, Palawan is our last ecological frontier in the Philippines. If they’re going to continue to do this, more and more big companies will cash-in to commercialize Palawan- and I really do not want that to happen.

I know petitions won’t do much, but at least we can prove a point that Palawan should not be disrupted. Please sign this petition, so that it will not only show that us Filipinxs don’t want this, but people from different countries as well. Please spread it around as well, so that people from different countries can be aware of what Nickelodeon is doing.

Ang aming kalikasan ay hindi dapat sirain. Maraming salamat po.

Zalipie, Poland. Images by Mariusz Cieszewski, via Poland MFA.

Tradition of painting the walls has been going on here at least for over a century - the colorful paintings were “discovered” by local ethnographers at the end of 19th century.

Nowadays Zalipie is well-known by its nickname “Painted Village” (Pol. “Malowana Wieś”), and its inhabitants still maintain the tradition of painting. The colorful flowers decorate not only the houses, but also local barns, stables, hutches, wells, fences, bridges and many other details of the rural landscape.

I don’t even care that I already reblogged this because seriously, how is this not a masterpiece painting hanging in the Smithsonian? Everything about this photo just says Romanticism to me

I wonder from where so many Americans get the idea that voting is supposed to be some expression of your deepest, most beloved values and virtues rather than a pragmatic, political move meant to shift your country as much closer to your ideal as possible. This strikes me as another example of extreme individualism. Voting isn’t about *you*. It’s about your city, state, and/or country. It doesn’t have to feel transcendently good deep down in your bones. It just has to *do* as much good as you can do, in this particular moment in time.
