@foxinaforestofstars
news is good sometimes.
Given that "fish" isn't a biological term, its just a catch all for everything we gesture at when we say "fish", yeah, this totally checks out
This is the exact opposite of the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages categorising beavers as fish so they could eat them during Lent.
Breaking News: Catholics can now eat bees during Lent
Only in California
btw if you live in the midwest (a region where a lot of the states are going to have trigger laws or ban abortion completely it looks like) and if itâs possible that you can leave ur state, get to illinois. Illinois isnât just a state where abortion is permitted, in illinois abortion is strictly a protected right. illinoisâ right to abortion is permanent and isnât going to be changed anytime soon. in illinois your abortion rights are completely confidential. illinois is one of the easiest states to access abortion in and the process is fairly simple, and itâs going to always be legal to do so even as the right to abortion is overturned in other states. itâs very much a safe haven to anyone who needs to flee their state right now. if anyone can provide any resources and links that would be greatly appreciated.
here is a post detailing how you can get an abortion in chicago.
itâs extremely in depth and shares a lot of very valuable info if coming here is in your best interest.
Just to mention it, as Iâm sure others have, as of 6/1/2022 all minors can get an abortion in Illinois without parental consent or parental notification (previously, you had to get a court order to skip the notification). Also, Midwest Access Coalition is a group dedicated to providing funds to those who need to travel here to get an abortion. Please do pass this info on to anyone who may need it.
something like 80% of the chicago abortion fundâs funds were used for people coming in from out of state. thatâs not a bad thing at all, itâs necessary medical work. please do come here. weâd love to have you in. everyone else: donate to the chicago abortion fund. https://chicagoabortionfund.salsalabs.org/makeadonation/index.html
if you're from europe and haven't done so yet, please please please sign the petition for unconditional basic income!
it needs 1 million signatures by the 25th june, as well as reach a certain threshold in at least seven countries which it only has in three, and it's also still missing so many signatures to reach 1 million and time is running out)
please just do it, it's free, it should be safe cause it's quite literally an official EU site, and literally all you need to do is put your name and address on there (not visible to the public, but they will check if the signatures are legit so please don't fake any signatures, that'll just make it look like the goal was reached when it wasn't)
please just do this, time is running out for this initiative. if there's any reason you haven't signed it yet and won't do it, tell me the reason, maybe i can debunk it
here's the link to the petition: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/014/public/#/screen/home
let's do this!
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/014/public/#/screen/home/allcountries
Objectives Our aim is to establish the introduction of unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU which ensure every personâs material existence and opportunity to participate in society as part of its economic policy. This aim shall be reached while remaining within the competences conferred to the EU by the Treaties. We request the EU Commission to make a proposal for unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU, which reduce regional disparities in order to strengthen the economic, social and territorial cohesion in the EU. This shall realize the aim of the joint statement by the European Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission, stated in 2017, that âthe EU and its member states will also support efficient, sustainable and equitable social protection systems to guarantee basic incomeâ in order to combat inequality.
Webpage of the initiative in the European Commission's register
For the love of all you hold dear, sign this if you can. Itâs literally five minutes of work and youâre voting for yourself to get more money and financial security. Please get whatever amount of spoons is required for you to do sign this and sign it. You can do this. I believe in you.
[addition added June 19th, 2022]
hello my dear euro mutuals :-) i'm bringing this petition to your attention since i think it's something that will (probably) affect our futures. It's the Unconditional Basic Income petition, whose aim is to "establish the introduction of unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU which ensure every personâs material existence and opportunity to participate in society as part of its economic policy". For this petition to go through the EU commission it needs to be signed by 1 million people and it needs to reach the minimum threshold in at least 7 countries. As of now, only Slovenia reached the minimum threshold, with Germany, Italy and Spain very close to reaching it too. The petition needs to reach its goal before the 22nd of June so we really don't have much time.
Give your support !
New hobby: going on Twitter and responding to every doctor or medical/public health organization currently warning moms not to make homemade formula with this:
Give families a legitimate recipe. Their grocery stores are out of stock. Their food banks are out of stock. No pediatrician has enough to feed all their patients for weeks. Give parents an option, or they will find one themselves that you donât like. Their babies are hungry.
Interesting that the WHO PDF on how to make a breast milk substitute, posted since 2006, was taken down in 2020. Here's a link from the Way Back Machine.
https://web.archive.org/web/20181115000000*/https://www.who.int/hac/crises/international/middle_east/Lebanon_guidelines_for_breast_milk_substitutes.pdf
Long story short, you mix water and either goat or full cow milk in a 1:2 ratio and add 1g of sugar for every 10ml of milk used.
As an example, a one month old should have 40ml milk, 20ml water, 20ml of (boiled) water, and 4grams of sugar.
Or you can use powdered full cows milk. A 1 month old you'd mix 5g powder milk with 60ml water and 4g sugar.
Check it out for yourself. Don't question why this was taken down in 2020 and we're being told this isn't okay anymore though.
I downloaded the pdf of that link for you all.
Honestly I think part of this is that the establishment doesnât want to acknowledge that this is an emergency, that these guidelines meant for disaster zones are what we need right now.
They wonât admit that itâs really that bad, but it is.

Right now, and for a âlimited time,â anyone in the United States between the age of 13 and 21 can apply for a free Brooklyn Public Library eCard, which gives access to 350,000 eBooks, 200,000 audiobooks, and online databases.

If youâre not an EU citizen or canât sign please pass the info to EVERYONE you know, so they can help spread it!
(That means reblogging this, not just liking it ⊠)
If the EU manages to get this implemented, it could really improve quality of life for everyone not just those living in the EU.
If this getâs of the ground no western governemnt has an excuse to not at least try the UBI!
to be clear this isnât some random change.org petition that doesnât matter, this is the formal proper way for EU citizens to influence what the EU commission discusses. if this gets enough signatures they HAVE to seriously consider how to implement universal basic income across the european union.
Etsy Strike April 11-18, 2022
op this slogan is really good lol
ETSY STRIKE INFO
I know itâs not my normal content but Iâve shared things about my Etsy shop on here before so I wanted to post about the Etsy strike going on from April 11-18.
We are striking because Etsy has continued to increase fees for shop owners and are increasing their transaction fee from 5% to 6.5%. Myself and many of my fellow shop owners are using Etsy as a primary source of income and this increase would mean we would make even less than we already do.
On top of transaction fees etsy takes .20 per listing posted, .20 to auto-renew a listing (which happens every three months or so), and a payment fee of 3% + .25 per sale.
We are making more demands of Etsy like ending the star seller program, cracking down on resellers, and removing roadblocks between shop owners and their earnings (including their infamously shitty shop support system). Please do more research on your own and educate yourself about the demands and issues in this matter.
I will be participating and putting my shop in vacation mode and we ask that you donât purchase from Etsy during that time.
Obviously not everyone will be able to participate in the strike but we ask that you support those striking and not purchase on Etsy during those days. If you would like to buy from an Etsy seller during that time contact them directly.
Give your money to artists not corporations.

Capitalism is an illness we desperately need to cure.
Since I know a lot of dice buyers and sellers do so via Etsy, I felt this was important to share
reblog this if your blog is a safe space on april fools and wonât have any jumpers, screamers, or anything scary or anxiety inducing
polish government has opened a website for ukrainians seeking safety and trying to cross the ukrainian-polish border:
ua.gov.pl
as of 13:10 polish time, it has been said as many people as possible will be let through the borders. they are also supposed to let through children who do not have passports, as to not divide families.
Polish person here, Iâve been on the website, it looks legit! Adding the full link here:
Information is available in Polish, Ukrainian, Russian and English
Please get the help available!
Other people, please boost this!!!!
Gov.pl is a legit website connected to the polish government i use it to look at tax info and school stuff (it has the lessons for the teachers written out) and driving license info. So this is legit!!!
Ukrainian friends, you can also cross the border to Slovakia, with or without a passport, or at least thatâs the latest update from our Ministry of Interior. You must prepare yourselves for waiting in lines as they check every individual vehicle upon entering (waiting times according to our news are hours long because of shitty capacities but hopefully after today the officials will figure out a more effective system). If anybody has a link too, Iâd be grateful as I havenât found anything useful prior to adding to the post. I hope you all stay safe.
Romania is also willing to accept up to 500,000 refugees from Ukraine. Be prepared for long waiting times at the Siret border crossing.
If you can reach Germany, they are willing to accept refugees as well. Our minister of the interior, Nancy Fraeser, said that all Ukranians with a biometric passport can come to Germany even without a visa and stay there for 90 days.
dont get me wrong this is #mood but just try eating a piece of bread with salt. please, seriously. ok? at least a tiny bit. salt helps with nausea, bread calms the stomach acid. if you really canât face eating anything, just lick some salt like a damn elk, then wait and see if you can manage the bread. make some broth if youâre into that kind of thing. no spices, yes salt. if youâre feeling too weak and shaky to do much, just have a cup of tea with sugar (energy) and lemon (again, good against nausea). nibble on the lemon first, it will feel good, but donât overdo - citric acid on an empty stomach is a majorly bad idea. take care of yourself, youâre the only you weâve got
âYouâre the only you weâve gotâ
#i know people have started criticizing the#âmen are afraid of getting laughed at women are afraid of getting killedâ#but this is real?
Oh, yes.
A few years ago I went to pick up a woman I met on OKCupid for a date, and a friend of hers was there. They kind of over-explained âOh, she just showed up to say hiâ and there was a vague nervousness in the air that even my autistic ass was picking up on. Her friend was playing conspicuously with her phone. I went âAh, the safety. Need to get a picture?â
Dead silence for about a second and a half, then the friend took a picture, looked at my date, and said âHave funâ and walked out the door.
(I would ordinarily have been clueless, but Iâd just been asked to be the safety the previous night.)
My advice to male-presenting folks: recognize that this not your problem. By which I mean, this sort of security check isnât a problem for you. It doesnât hurt you. You arenât being insulted or disrespected. And if you treat it like what it isâ a reasonable adaptation to an unreasonable situationâ and just roll with it, your dates will be more comfortable, and you will have a better time as a result.
The same applies to phone calls mid-date. Let them answer the damn phone without drama.
They arenât accusing you of being a dangerous person. The very fact that they are willing to go on a goddamn date with you means that they have extended a certain level of trust. But the fact remains that there isnât really a way to distinguish between âa man who isnât dangerousâ and âa man who knows how to behave like heâs not dangerous.â
there isnât really a way to distinguish between âa man who isnât dangerousâ and âa man who knows how to behave like heâs not dangerous.â
How to spot signs and symptoms of Breast CancerÂ
Reblog to literally save a life
whish they told us this in school, all they did was say âfeel for lumps, you will know when you feel itâ
This is important, even if it doesnât work with your blog theme REBLOG IT!!!!
Women need to know this, not all of us have ever been told what we need to look out for!
yeah reblogging especially for my transmasc fellows who (like me) might be real uncomfortable with their chests and not know what to watch out for because we try to avoid this kind of thing (just me? okay)
I read all the health pamphlets as a child.
âLook for lumps,â they said, âwatch out for unusual lumps and discharge.â
They did NOT say, âBy the way, some areolas have little bumps on them. And some get pimple-ish things around the edges. Or on the nipples. These are not the lumps we are talking about, and that is not the discharge we are talking about.â
I spent years worrying about whether I had breast cancer. (I got exams, every year or two, and those were always fine and I stopped worrying. Mostly. But then a new tiny bump would show up on the edges and I would wonder IS THIS IT? âŠbut not ask to see a doctor because 14-year-old girls worry about everything, all the time, and six months ago the doctor poked at my breasts and didnât say anything alarming, so this is⊠probably fine? Like last time?)
I had a slightly more present and caring doctor tell me what I need to be looking for specifically are lumps that feel like peas or grains of rice.
That distinction cleared so much up for me, like, breast tissue is all lumps and bumps normally (which is what mamories feel like to me). What the hell do they mean by lumps????
Now I know.
Losing my mind remembering that pic chelsea manning posted of the extremely undercover and not at all obvious fbi agent who was tailing her after her release
what kind of sixth sense do american have to recognize fbi agents that easily
to paraphrase her, its always the shoes.
americans please explain to a foreigner, he looks like some random dude to me
1. They all have the same haircut, almost everybody in law enforcement and the military have the same haircut due to regulations.
2. They all wear the same shoes. Same boots, and same overpolished dress shoes.
3. They act different. Shifty eyed and always on their own.
4. Theyâre kinda really bad at their jobs. Iâve encountered plenty of âundercoverâ cops outside of bars that ask questions no regular person in their right mind would ever ask. âHow are you getting home?â âWho did you come here with tonight?â
5. America is a police state on a budget. Most officers are poorly trained, fbi agents require a 4 year degree (I think), but lord knows how much training they actually get. And the dumb kids from your high school always become cops.
Itâs always the dense as a brick kid, with something to prove that becomes a cop. The kid that mouth-breathed and couldnât chew gum and walk at the same time.
Their shirts are never form fitting so they can conceal a weapon and cuffs.
Always look at the watch, itâll be expensive but in neutral tones (uniform standards strike again).
They will always sit where they can see their target and the nearest exit.
They will have a partner who is less obvious but wil point a recording device (phone or camera) at you. Check elevated positions, it gives them the clearest view to track you and keep an eye on their partner at the same time.
One time when i lived in phoenix, I was driving home through residential streets from Panda Express on April 20th and there was a 40something year old white man standing quite literally in the MIDDLE of the fucking road wearing a brand new straight from the store weed jersey (jersey #420 with a big pot leaf), a wornout old raiders hat, regular-fit straight leg jeans, and cop shoes. This man proceeded to try to wave me down to stop since I was driving slowly (again, residential neighborhood) and as he did so fully yelled âYou buying bro? You buying? 420 bro 420 you buying?â
I almost choked laughing so hard. I couldnât stop myself from just yelling âNO THANK YOU OFFICERâ as i drove by him.
for the past 60 years law enforcement, military, and even literal espionage/intelligence based organizations have assumed that rigid conformity to dress code was more important then actually training how to go undercover, blend in, or understand what the fuck theyre doing largely because the âwe are infallibleâ mindset is too strong for them to consider they might not be doing very good
shoutout to the two âundercover copsâ who were at my school to monitor the student body for a week, acting like âsubstitute assistantsâ and literally all of the kids immediately recognised them as cops and everyone would address them only as âofficerâ which annoyed the hell out of them because âwe arenât copsâ like sir you literally have your badge in your back pocket and a taser what fucking substitute assistant would have an actual police badge and a whole ass taser??
Just a casual reminder that this is what secret police are. Like, this is the literal definition. Police who are (badly or otherwise) pretending to not be police.
i know this has eight billion notes already but i love sharing these images
This thread reminds me of this story lol
This sounds bonkers to me because in Italy itâs forbidden for cops to bait you to commit a crime, if they do and you cave in they end up in jail
it is 100% legal for cops to lie to you in the united states, about anything they want to, at any time during any contact with you. they do plenty of illegal stuff too but never get in trouble for it
i got one of these guys one time responding to an internet ad to buy something (maybe Craigslist? i cant remember). he tried to bait me into prostitution and when i said no and âare you a cop?â there was the longest, most awkward pause you have ever seen before he just said ââŠ.no.â
they can lie to you about being a cop too, the thing you see on tv about âcops have to tell you theyâre copsâ is bullshit, i only asked because i wanted to see how he acted. anyway yeah this is why Americans seem so squirrelly to Europeans
When Angela Davis was regularly teaching classes at UC Santa Cruz, she would start every first session by pointing out the two FBI agents seated at the back of the classroom and having the students wave hello to them.
