I’m just super fucking bitter that once the flint water crisis got it’s 15 minutes of fame people stopped giving a shit. The water is still poisoned, people! Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and it’s not just lead! it’s coliform bacteria! it’s THMs! it’s all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising and petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and it’s only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem

I would like to add that the people of Flint cannot sell their houses, because selling a house with leaded water is illegal. Additionally, households with children can’t stop paying for the water because living in a house without running water is cause for CPS to take their kids. Flint has been living this way for over two years. 

The people of Flint are trapped by the legal system. And it is only the most high profile case out many cities with a similar problem. 

Because the government has abandoned them, they are dependant on help from the outside. Donate here

Little Miss Flint Clean Water Fund, organized by LuLu Brezzell

My name is Mari Copeny, I’m a 12 year old from Flint, Michigan. You may know me as Li… LuLu Brezzell needs your support for Little Miss Flin

Mari Copeny has taken the initiative to create a water filter. I’ve linked her GoFundMe that’s she using to raise money for it. She’s been able to raise $50k in donations but her next goal is $1 million

Water is a basic human right, it says a lot about governments that fail to provide that. Especially for a so called ‘first world country’

[visibilityofcolor]

it’s really sad that she had to spend her whole childhood advocating for better water because people wouldn’t help her

"maybe it's not your pussy" is such a funny phrase and also correct. People wonder why chores are so hard and it's like, friends we used to have a whole intergenerational team on this and now Grandma is locked in a beige box. Cooking is hard.

Ruby Bridges is 68. This is not ancient history. Not even close.

[neil-gaiman]

I know Ruby. She's a really nice person. The idea that they would try and write what she did as a girl out of history is shocking to me on so many levels, the simplest of which is just, but don't they know how lovely she is?

Live action Return of Jafar but when they find out that Jafar is back, either Aladdin or Jasmine says "Somehow Jafar returned... 😒"

Then, the camera slowly pans over to Oscar Isaac who's like:

Bonus points if Oscar is cast as Cassim.

IT WAS HYDRA. NOT BUCKY. IT IS NOT BUCKY'S FAULT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED. HE IS A VICTIM TOO. NO, I'LL NEVER LET THIS DIE BECAUSE... "

and it’s easy to forget all of this. that this kind of representation we’re seeing in children’s cartoon isn’t something they can just make for free.

as regular people using tumblr and twitter and ao3 and ff.net, we can write and draw and make headcanons and ship whatever we want.

there’s no risk to us for doing this. there’s no risk for shippers drawing and writing lumity, catradora, korrasami, etc. we can do whatever we want. but getting this stuff on big networks? disney, nickelodeon, cartoon network, and FIGHTING for it when executive’s first reactions was probably audible groaning at the showrunners about the possible controversy they might get?

we need to start understanding that unlike them, there’s a huge risk to this.

Dana doesn’t get to just walk in and say “hey Disney i want to make a show and it’s gonna have a canon bi kid and a lesbian kid and they’re gonna develop their feelings on-camera,” and those execs just said “oh shit yeah that sounds awesome here’s the keys to the kingdom!” Dana has literally stated that without things like the rupphire wedding and that which came before there would BE no lumity. and for this victory, The Owl House has had it’s third season reduced to three special episodes, and the idea of s4 is so laughable at this point it will be a miracle to see it happen.

WE, the fandom, can produce this endlessly for free for ourselves without risk; I genuinely and sincerely wonder if Dana will ever be able to work with Disney again after this, i would not be surprised if they simply refuse to work with her after TOH ends. we forget that for these people, it comes with sacrifice and risk of professional ostracization. because WE do not sacrifice to make this content a reality we forget that people like Dana and Rebecca do.

for YEARS we have heard things about “ITS NOT PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH/TABLE SCRAPS.” fucking goddamn Lily Orchid even made a post that was like, ranking these shows and grading them based on “representation rep” and only giving TOH an A while giving everything else lower than a C and some of ya’ll ate it up like candy.

people are fighting for this and risking their careers because they CAN’T just be anonymous people on the internet to make it a reality. and it makes me happy that we’re FINALLY starting to acknowledge this, but not enough people seem to be aware of this. too many of ya’ll are still trying to make this some dick-measuring contest between lumity and everything that came before it, also because some aired around the same-ish time. it’s not. it’s really genuinely not.
