Cars and Independence

My Patreon

[elodieunderglass]

Raising kids in a walkable town really underscores the inconvenience and dependence of cars as well. The reality really is completely opposite from the belief. It’s hard to really get across that using a car is a barrier/limiting factor when you have babies and small children. And it’s hard to get across what a much higher quality of life you have when the stuff you access most often - daycare, school, train station, coffee shops, toddler groups - is within a ten-minute walk, so you just wrap the baby in a carrier, fall into step with a friend and go do it. I think that car-centered parents in America are living a much harder and more isolated life, and I’m sure it ripples outward from there. I think that the children in turn have more independence, more relationships, more control, more feeling of ownership of the spaces they move through.

[ID Summary: A tweet about a political peaceful protest in Guernica protesting the genocide of Palestine. In 1937, Nazis bombed a village for Franco's Spanish Nationalists, because the Nazis saw it as a center of resistance against fascism.

86 years later, descendants of the village show solidarity with Palestinians and protest the genocide of Palestine.

There is a video included with the protesters holding up several different colored flags, which, when held to be viewed from above, form the Palestine National Flag.]

[venusdebotticelli]

The town's name is Gernika, by the way. "Guernica" is the Spanishised spelling that Franco forced on us when he rose to power and tried to erase our language and culture from existence.

Also this is just the surface, do further research to fully understand the situation.

This comic made me feel things!

[bluesilentartist]

Hey, the source is not credited properly, so I thought that should be mentioned here. The short comic is from volume 5 of “Flight” comic anthology series. You can get a physical copy if you want to support the comic! The comic artist’s name is Svetlana Chmakova. Please check out her other works “Awkward”, “Brave”, and “Crush” at the library or bookstore! Also available in the ebook version. They all appear in the cute style and the color palette like the short comic. 

For a fun fact, Svetlana Chmakova is the same artist who created “Dramacon” and “Nightschool” manga.  Also the manga adaptation of ”Witch & Wizard”!

I reblogged all that wasn't my art onto this blog from my main, now there's a lot of stuff laying around, I guess that's how I'll use this one now.

This is the link from the video. It’s important that we try to take action. Don’t buy chocolate that may be connected with slavery. In the link there’s also information about slavery free chocolate.

International Rights Advocates

End child labor in the cobalt and cocoa industries.

[anarkissa]

On chocolate, coffee, tea, other products coming from the global south: if you can afford it, buy only products with some kind of a certificate that demonstrates the product has been ethically produced (and this has been verified by an outside agency), such as the Fairtrade, UTZ or Rainforest Alliance certificate.

But also beware that some producers have made up their own certificates, with no outside oversight. These essentially fake certificates include Cocoa Life, the certificate invented by Mondelez – one of the companies listed behind the link for using slave labour, who stopped using Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa and switched to their own certificate instead.

[leepacey]

here’s a list of companies who use fair trade chocolate:

Clif Bar

Tony’s Chocoloneley

Ben & Jerry’s

Aloha Feels

Newman’s Own Organics

The Endangered Species Chocolate

Dagoba Organic Chocolate

Starbucks

Aldi’s brand

Green & Blacks

Sappho Chocolates

Larabar

full list of ethical companies in the carrd above

and a list of companies who knowingly use slave labor to make their chocolate:

Hershey’s

Mars (M&M, Snickers, Dove, etc)

Mondelez (part of Kraft) (Cadbury, Toblerone, Oreos)

Nestle

Lindt

Godiva

Ghirardelli

Starbuck's chocolate might be ethically sourced but their coffee is not as of 2020.

Seizure First Aid. 

Learn it. Share it. Know it. Use it. 

[king-in-yellow]

100% correct medical information on tumblr for once; also consider calling 911 if you don’t know how often the person has seizures and ESPECIALLY if the seizure has lasted 5 minutes or more (which is why the watch is critical)

[lukesvalentine-blog1]

I have epilepsy so making sure the word is out on how to help people who do have seizures means a lot to me.

[tiktoksthataregood-ish]

"Stop scrolling and please help me spread the word, because if I've landed on your page you're most likely either a black woman or someone who cares about black women and the simple phrase I'm about to share could help save a black woman's life.

Doctors are to black women what police officers are to black men. That may seem controversial but I believe it to be true and I speak from personal experience.

If you've seen this TikTok you know that a 2016 study showed that 50% of medical students and residents thought that black people couldn't feel pain the same as white people.

And we learned from this video that because of a 1999 study, to this day, there's a black correction factor for the creatinin levels in black people's kidneys, meaning we're less likely to recieve a kidney transplant if needed.

So if you go to a doctor, feel you aren't getting proper treatment or they refuse the treatment you've requested, say to them the following:

I will need you to document on record that you are refusing the treatment (or medicine) I've requested, and the reason you are doing so."

[dovewithscales]

This works. I have used it in other situations. If medical staff have to document and take responsibility and be on the hook legally for doing shady shit they behave much differently.

If you weren’t already going to spread this advice because black women are at risk, then spread it because it’s applicable to everyone else as well, including you reading this.

But particularly women, and especially black women.

[adeleneblack]

and watch them document it, then request a copy at the end of your appointment (should be official looking: letterhead, dated, signature, ect)

then they can’t be shady about their record keeping and if they are you have an official document and not just your word
