Trump administration backtracks on eliminating thousands of national parks employees

Following a loud public outcry, and relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts, the Trump administration has reversed course on a p

"The memo addressed only temporary seasonal employees. It said nothing about the roughly 1,000 members of the National Park Service’s permanent workforce who were fired Friday."

great progress has been made and there is still work to be done! the NPCA has a form email you can send to Congress. you can also use this text as a script when calling your reps. here is another script you can use, and another from 5calls.

More sass, shippy nonsense & shenanigans. (Also: some of this is feels-y. Oops?)

Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, using the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now

Can I get a transcript?

I’m at work and can’t use my volume. So have no idea what’s going on here.

Video transcript:

First tiktok by @/tuutoe: (text-to-speech voice) "School will never teach you this. Humanity's deepest sec-"

Second tiktok by @/tofology: "This is Nazi shit. This is Nazi shit, and you guys gave it over a million likes. Before I get to the Nazi shit — and I will — just a couple of fact checks."

<clip from first tiktok: "Why did Buzz delete this tweet?"> "Buzz Aldrin never said that. That's a Photoshop job from 2016."

<clip from first tiktok: "Topographical scans of Antarctica all have a place where data is missing."> "That's silly. Here's one.

Okay, Hyperborea. Remember that chart I made a while ago? It's like, way up there past the antisemitic point of no return.

(using a different, higher-pitched voice) But Abby, can't we just enjoy a silly little video about ancient snow civilizations?

(normal voice) Uh, no, not when that myth has been used to justify horrific amounts of violence.

Basically, Nazi shit comes as a bunch of different flavors. And one of them is esoteric Nazism, which is like, white supremacy and hatred disguised as a giant web of mystical and religious and metaphysical nonsense. So, this flavor of Nazism is obsessed with the Aryan race and restoring it. (whispering) It was never a thing.

(normal voice) They believe that Hyperborea was an ancient high civilization where the Aryan race — white people — lived in paradise before they were forced to mix with other races.

It's a racist fairy tale used to perpetuate white supremacy and justify violence. This stuff is racist and antisemitic but [unintelligible] did enough that people will engage with it like it's just a story. Tiktok knows it's Nazi shit, that's why they banned the Hyperborea hashtag. They just forgot to ban all the adjacent ones. [unintelligible, might be "It's whoops."]

These myths don't end in a good place. Uh, you should try fiction, though, it harms like, way fewer people."

It’s okay to do things to help you even if they seem silly.

Today I read about “door pants”. Leaving a pair of pants by the door in case someone shows up. I think it was meant as a joke but thinking about it, it actually would help me.

I’ve missed important deliveries and people showing up because I don’t wear pants in the house. When I’m home, the sensation bothers me too much. But when people show up at the door, I panic and avoid the door because I’m not sure how to fix the problem of no pants. Them being in a drawer in my room and having to pick them out just makes me freeze.

So, long story short, I now have a pair of door pants. Something that seems silly that will really help me. And I’m so proud of that.

Do the things that help you. No matter how silly they may seem.

[disabilityreminders]

The amount of asks I’ve received telling me that my “door pants” are ridiculous and I could just use a robe. I don’t feel comfortable using a robe. Door pants work for me. That’s the point of the post. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for these tags @fibrefox. You’re 100% right.

It’s not about what others think would solve your problem. It’s about the solutions that work for you. That’s an important message to share.

The tags read “ # omg yes #its not about what *others* think would solve your problem #it’s about finding solutions that work for yourself #and having the self compassion to adopt the things that work #even if others think it’s silly #honestly i want to tell everyone dispensing unsolicited advice to mind their own business #unless someone explicitly asks for ideas or tips. just stfu.” /end ID]

The thing that pisses me off the most is that even if covid WAS over, disabled people still fucking exist and deserve to participate in things. The brief period of time in which everyone was doing virtual and hybrid events, people could work from home, social events were actually accessible...all it did was show that we could be doing these things, and just don't fucking care.

Hybrid events should be the STANDARD. Including people who can't leave their houses should be the STANDARD. Some basic fucking consideration for the disabled should be the STANDARD.

And it's just. Not.

Since it's watermelon season!

My grandfather used to grow watermelons, among other things, and he told me about most of this, especially the orange spot. Those are the absolute best!

[angelicguy]

i have been given nothing but shiny elongated watermelons with small webbings and white spots. and they make me wanna kill myself

[thesanityclause]

My grandfather used to tell me the best watermelons are the ones you steal from the back of a truck so I guess we all learned some watermelon knowledge from our grandfathers
