So does Tumblr know about the SNAFU Alberta's disabled people are currently experiencing. Do they know 1,600 of us straight up did not get our disability payments and others got underpaid to the tune of over $1K. Do they know the Premier lied and said it would be fixed by yesterday, tried to release a press statement saying it was fixed, and received huge backlash from those of us currently begging for food and rent money because it is not fixed and the phones are so backlogged no one can reach anything, not even emergency supports that would be clawed back later anyway?

I think y'all should know

my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right

You can tell a lot about a person by entering their mind palace and encountering their greatest fears and darkest hopes in a labyrinth reflective of their subconscious thoughts.

Protect California's coasts!

No matter where you live, you can speak up and take action now to protect the coast of California from offshore drilling.

The Trump administration's plan for new offshore oil and gas drilling in federal waters is expected any day. If finalized, drilling could begin off the California coast as soon as next year.

We need you—our Aquarium Tumblr community—to act right now.

📣 California residents: Tell your lawmakers to vote YES on AB 1448—closing loopholes that let old infrastructure fuel new drilling. Submit by August 3.

📣 Everyone: Tell NOAA to keep California's coastal protections strong. NOAA needs to hear from everyone who loves the California coast, no matter where you live. Public comments are due August 22.

Our coast can't wait. Take action now:

Protect California’s coastline

Take two actions to stop federal offshore drilling off California's coast.

Section 106 is Under Threat: What You Need to Know | National Trust for Historic Preservation

Since the enactment of the National Historic Preservation Act 60 years ago, Section 106 has been the foundational requirement for federal ag

If Section 106 is gutted:

Federal agencies will no longer be required to try avoid or minimize damage to America’s historic architecture, neighborhoods or landscapes.

State and local governments will no longer have the right to be notified or have the opportunity to comment when federal agencies propose to damage or destroy historic places within their jurisdiction.

The public’s opportunity to comment on federal historic preservation policies or actions will be entirely optional at the discretion of the agency.

The federal government will no longer be required to consult with Native American tribes or seek their expertise regarding their own cultural resources.

Significant cultural landscapes would no longer be considered historic properties, so federal agencies would no longer be required to take into account any adverse effects to places such as the Grand Canyon.

Harmful changes to Endangered Species Act

Now, more changes to the Endangered Species Act by the current administration continue to attack crucial parts of the law to protect habitat and newly listed species.

These changes prioritize harmful development over science-based management and make it harder to put species on a path to recovery.

A healthy marine ecosystem is essential to support biodiversity and save endangered species. We need an Endangered Species Act and management guided by science and expertise that puts the environment first.
