Since I didn’t put anything on this blog for a few weeks, I thought I could post this sketch of Galaere, my engi. It’s been one or two weeks since I’ve finish it, but I didn’t have time to post it, so there it is!  I got the inspiration to draw this after playing PoF with this character. It was a lot of fun! Enjoy ^^<3

A great example of why you don’t have any idea what is happening in the world around you. I don’t generally blog this stuff but, you Should know Time Magazine is not the only media to do this. .

american schools teach about other countries’ propaganda, but look at this shit.

Did you guys know that the first Canadian deaths in the war in Afghanistan happened in 2002 when an American pilot dropped a bomb on some Canadian soldiers doing training exercises

killed 4 people and injured 8

Did you know this? Probably not because boy does your country like to brainwash about their fucking military being the greatest and most important and amazing fucking thing

Americans, we get more news about your country than you do, because gosh diddly darn does your country ever like to hide things from you and keep you stupid.

The misinformation and ignorance of the American public is manufactured and deliberate as a means of social control

Click here to support New home for Meiko by Brienne Frost

Hey everyone! This beautiful girl is Meiko. My husband adopted her when she was a kitten, and lived with her after he moved out of his parents' home. However, a few years later his living situation got a little bad and he had to leave the poor girl with his parents. Even after he got his living s...

Hey guys! I am asking that this remain exclusively shared on Tumblr as we don’t want my husband’s parents to see this. That said, if you could help us by sharing this like wildfire, we would appreciate it so goddamn much. Thank you all so much in advance. 

[becomingmyinnerdemons-deactivat]

$5 so far! She’s starting to adjust to living with us - but we still need a lot of help to make it to the cost of the pet deposit. Please, we don’t want to send her back to her owners, and at 15 she’s too old to end up in a shelter - so few people are willing to adopt older kitties. 

[becomingmyinnerdemons-deactivat]

Still only 5$. Please, if you can help us we’d all be so grateful. She’s settling in and bonding with us, and even slept in our bed with us for a good portion of last night. She’s such a sweet old thing, and it would be such a tragedy to have to send her back to where she was before.

We’re up to $60 right now and that is freaking amazing.  Signal boosting is totally fine if you can’t donate.

[becomingmyinnerdemons-deactivat]

Guys, we’re up to 90 in donations!! I am so overwhelmed by the outpouring of support that I’ve seen on this post in the last 24 hours - SO many of you have reblogged and more donations are coming through.  Even if you can’t donate right now, boosting the signal and reblogging this is still amazingly helpful. Thank you all so much those who have donated and reblogged already - with your help, its looking more like we’ll be able to make this a reality. 

[becomingmyinnerdemons-deactivat]

Signal boosting again! We’re still at only 90, and we’re coming up on the deadline where we’ll have to send her home if we can’t pay the pet deposit. Please guys, she’s recovering so well with us. You can no longer see her ribs poking through her sides, she’s such a happy little cuddler, she gets along so well with our daughter and sleeps in our bed every night… we need to give this poor girl a better home, but we need your help to get there.

The next huge women’s protest has been scheduled for March 8. Mark your calendars and get ready to be loud about it

The organizers of the Women’s March are planning a general strike — A Day Without A Woman — on March 8, which is International Women’s Day. They made the announcement on Twitter and Instagram yesterday, hashtagging it #DayWithoutAWoman and #WomensMarch. Here’s what’s involved.

[sandovers]

you guys, i love this man so so so much

[southernslytherin]

ok tumblr, you seem interested in political activism, so we’re going to have a little lesson in administrative law and how you can force the Trump administration to listen to you for the next four years. 

To condense a semester-long law school course into a blog post: Congress delegates significant quasi-legislative power to administrative agencies, e.g. the EPA. These agencies have a great deal of power to shape your everyday life, but our system of civics education is so abysmal that, chances are, you have no idea what kind of power you hold to shape their decisions.

Administrative agencies have to navigate a maze of laws and procedures in order for the rules they make to be effective and binding. These laws and procedures mean that there plenty of ways the agencies can mess up, and when they do, opponents of a rule can bring legal challenges and invalidate it. (This is frustrating for agencies, but delightfully fun for antagonistic nerds like me.)

When an agency wants to create an informal rule, it has to go through a process called “notice and comment.” Basically, the agency announces a proposed rule and permits the public to submit comments on it. The public includes you. 

When the comment period is over, the agency has to take the comments into account and justify its ultimate decision on the proposed rule in light of the comments. If you submit substantive, meaningful comments that challenge the policy or evidence behind a rule, and the agency fails to acknowledge them and explain its reasoning for its final decision, the rule can be challenged and invalidated.

So how do you comment on proposed rules? This lovely little site called regulations.gov. Really, it’s that easy! You can search for topics that interest you and submit your comments online. And you can do it anonymously! 

So please, check the website frequently and comment when it matters to you, so that your voice can be heard and Trump’s agencies have to acknowledge your perspective. If they fail to take your comments into consideration and disregard the American people, they’ll have to answer for it in court.

Keep calling your representatives and senators about Bannon and the policy issues that concern you, but remember this little lesson in admin law when he takes office.

[southernslytherin]

I didn’t expect this post to gain as much traction as it did, but I am grateful to everyone who has spread the word.

Trump recently announced his intent to slow, if not halt, the creation of any new regulations when he takes office. Can he do that? As any lawyer would answer: it depends.

Should he succeed, it becomes even more important for you to make your voice heard. Some agencies have a statutory imperative to regulate under certain circumstances. There is precedent for challenging an agency’s refusal to act; look up Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497 (2007). That case could not have happened without people and organizations petitioning the EPA to act on climate change; the petitions compelled the EPA to acknowledge that it was refusing to act and justify its reasoning (which was ultimately found inadequate by the Supreme Court).

A few people commented on this post saying that we would be wasting our time by submitting comments or petitioning the agencies. I understand that frustration; I, too, have felt powerless at times in the wake of this election. But that is how Trump and Republicans want their opposition to feel. A person wiser than me described it as “Obeying before you are asked.”

Many people have posted about how to get involved in state and local elections, and how to vote in 2018–those things matter a great deal. My original post was intended to suggest one more small way we can reclaim some semblance of power as citizens, and set the stage for lawyers to utilize the courts as needed to shield people from someone who has given every indication that he will abuse his power. I firmly believe that participation in our government and our legal system–however flawed–is anything but a waste of time.

Lead levels for water in Flint, Michigan have fallen below federal limit

Flint's public health emergency began when officials failed to properly treat lead lines for corrosion.

As of late January 2017, Flint, Michigan has acceptably unleaded water. No reparations mentioned, of course.

[jumpingjacktrash]

according to the article they still need to use bottled water and filters for a while because replacing pipes will cause localized spikes in lead. so don’t stop helping just yet.

Stephanie Murphy files bill that would remove Stephen Bannon from National Security Council

Florida congresswoman, and Winter Park resident, Stephanie Murphy filed a bill Wednesday that would essentially remove Trump's top political advisor Stephen Bannon from the National Security...

“Our men and women in uniform, our intelligence and homeland security professionals, and our citizens should feel secure in their knowledge that the critical decisions made by the NSC are free from political considerations. The American people deserve a national security policymaking process that inspires confidence, not cynicism,” said Murphy in a House floor speech. CALL THIS WOMAN’S OFFICE AND SAY THANK YOU. ENCOURAGE HER TO PUSH HARD FOR THIS BILL. CALL YOUR LOCAL CONGRESSPEOPLE AND ASK THEM TO SPONSOR/SUPPORT IT!

Find your representative Find your senator

Congratulations Hidden Figures for the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture!

[anarcho-smarmyism]

Maybe I should clarify something: my experience with Neo-Nazis is not, in fact, limited to the internet.

I happen to have been raised around several white men and women who spent a good chunk of their adult lives in prison. Many of them joined white supremacist gangs during this time. They raised their kids -my friends at that time- to be white supremacists. They had swastikas hanging in their living rooms and would talk openly about beating up or killing racial minorities (but ofc they said slurs instead). I didnt say anything at the the because I was 11-13 years old and didn’t really know any better; and these men scared me. This is a meth town in Texas, where it’s expected everyone owns a gun and is ready to use it- I once saw one of them beat the shit out of a 16yo and shove a shotgun in his face.

So that’s what I think when I think “Neo-Nazis”, not these “alt right” pussies. So I know that they -and their kids- were still capable of spending time with nonwhite people and pretending to see them as humans, and then talk about how “the South would rise again” and they would “own them n*****s” and other shit I don’t care to remember.

And let me tell you: no amount of calm, rational discussion will sway these people. Ever. If you were to challenge their views they would eventually resort to violence to shut you up; if you tried to “rise above” all that would happen is they’d laugh you down and call you a pussy and continue believing, speaking, and yes, acting on their beliefs.

When I say “peaceful resistance won’t stop Neo-Nazis” it’s not just a philosophy I read in some book. It’s my lived experience.

[literallyajew]

@yatogamigod @smarmyanarchist

Let me let you in on something you probably didn’t notice. Violence. Won’t solve anything with them.

They wanted you to punch them in the face.

They wanted you to incite violence. They wanted you to throw the first punch. to cast the first stone. To beat them up, to put them down, w/e. Because the twisted shitheads on the Alt-Right have been itching for a fight. They’ve been WAITING for you to do something, that would allow them to strike back, and get away with it.

And now they have it. They have the justification they need. And the public won’t listen. they never do. They watch. Because the masses love a spectacle. And they love an underdog story. And you made the Nazis underdogs.

So, when you punch a Nazi, and they punch back? I’m going to laugh until my lungs bleed. Because you brought it on yourself, you fucking morons.

[anarcho-smarmyism]

I was gonna refute this by showing you are the articles of Dick Spencer and his dipshit friends saying they’re scared to show their faces in public lest they get attacked, which is exactly the point of attacking them, but then I got to the end when you’re acting as though self-defense against Nazis (and yeah that includes preemptively striking them since they’ve already declared their intentions to commit literal fucking genocide) makes them the “underdogs” justifies the atrocities they want to commit.

I’m glad you ended it that way to let everyone know you’re a piece of shit nazi sympathizer and don’t deserve to be treated as an equal any more than they do. Go eat shit you collaborating piece of human waste.

Gandalf, materialising in my conscience, smiling kindly: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, besides the will of evil.
