¡Atención a todos los hondureños!

¡Atención a todos los hondureños!

Esta es Mamá. Mamá fue encontrada muerta de hambre cerca de mi trabajo y rescatada por un compañero de trabajo. Después de tener gatitos, la compañera de trabajo se fue del país, abandonando a mamá y sus gatitos en el techo. Todos los gatitos de mamá están encontrando buenos hogares, ¡pero mamá también necesita un nuevo hogar! Ella hermosa y cariñosa. Persigue insectos, por lo que probablemente atrapará ratones en tu casa o tienda.

Por favor comparte la historia de mamá. Si estás en o cerca de Honduras, Mamá podría ser el gato para ti. Si necesita ayuda para castrar a mamá, me complace ayudar. Tengo que irme del país en unos meses y no quiero volver a abandonar a mamá. Un gato encantador merece un hogar encantador.

Calling all Hondurans!

This is Mama. Mama was found starving near my work and rescued by a coworker. After she had kittens, the coworker left the country, abandoning Mama and her kittens on the roof. Mama's kittens are all finding good homes, but Mama needs a new home, too! She beautiful and loving. She chases bugs, so she will probably catch mice in your home or store.

Please share Mama’s story. If you are in or near Honduras, Mama might be the cat for you. If you need help neutering Mama, I am glad to help. I have to leave the country in a few months and I don’t want to abandon Mama again. A lovely cat deserves a lovely home.

My sister puts glasses away upside down.

Because our mother does,

Because her mother did,

Because her mother lived through the Dust Bowl.

One day my father sat me down and told me about epigenetics.

How the trauma he went through

As a child in an abusive home

Wrote itself into his DNA

And, in turn, into mine.

How he and his brothers,

In various ways,

Are all sick from it.

How I might be too, someday,

And I’m not sure I’m not.

I hear people say,

When will we get back to normal?

And I think of a woman born in the twenty-first century

Who puts her glasses away differently

Because of what her great-grandmother endured

Ninety years before.

The protests in Iran may have started against the mandatory hijab law and wanting justice for Mahsa Amini's death but now it has turned into a protest _ a war dare I say _ against the whole regime. People are just fed up with the dictatorship of Ali Khamenei and want him gone! They are chanting things like "death to the dictator" and "death to the Islamic Republic" in the streets. And it's not something new it's just for the first time we've been able to raise our voices and make the world listen. The mahsa amini tag has been trending on Twitter for days and Iranians are still trying to keep it trending so please be our voice and spread the news. Let the world know the real face of our government.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep on saying it: Title 42 is a racist double standard. And I say this with absolutely no ill will towards Ukraine. I wish the Ukrainian people nothing but victory 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 over Putin’s naked aggression & colonialism. But the entire (racist) pretext behind Title 42 is that America is denying refugees access—under the guise of “public safety” concerns—to stop the spread of disease. Either refugees and asylum seekers carry diseases or they don’t. The idea that immigrants from certain “undesirable” races, cultures and nationalities are somehow more diseased than other preferred (white, European) immigrants is a tired, old, racist excuse used to deny access throughout American history.

Shame on Biden for continuing to scapegoat Black and Brown refugees, using the same racist lie Trump did.

During the primaries, Joe Biden lied about reversing Trump’s race-based refugee policy, and instead has doubled down, and in his first year in office, has exceeded Trump’s deportation numbers. Race-based mass deportation is still racist, no matter which political party is administering the law.

Maybe not the point of this post but I really think USAmerican Christians should be in fucking jail for what they do to children

[reverie-quotes]

First-generation immigrants are a species all their own. They wear a lot of beige, grey or brown. Colours that do not stand out. Colours that whisper, never shout. There is a tendency to formality in their mannerisms, a wish to be treated with dignity. They move with a slight ungainliness, not quite at ease in their surroundings. Both eternally grateful for the chances life has given them and scarred by what it has snatched away, always out of place, separated from others by some unspoken experience, like survivors of a car accident.

I didn't think I'd have to ever do this, but I don't have much choice right now.

As you may remember from my old posts here and here , I'm from Ukraine. Because of the war, I had to leave my home and run to Poland with my two relatives and two cats. I got the relatives settled down with volunteers and myself stayed with my friend.

It was me and two cats and, after less then a month, my friend realized that he can't live like this and asked me to look for an apartment faster (before, he told me I could live with him as long as I needed to get it all together)

I spent the first two weeks sick because the evac train was really cold and I was in a bad shape when we arrived here, so technically I only got this week that I started looking for a job (my usual one I, of course, lost)

I'm still trying to get myself together after everything, even though I am already starting to work (I'm a teacher of English), as much as I can.

What I need now is some funds for food and possibly for a room to rent for me and two cats. If you can (and only if it's not too hard for you!) please help me 🙏

My PayPal is [email protected] . Any dollar counts!

If you can just reblog this, it's already a lot of help. Thank you!

these are honduran white bats! despite their name, they can be found in honduras, nicaragua, costa rica, and panama. they are one of the few bats that dont live in caves, they exclusively live under leaves. A colony is composed of one male and 5-7 females. They mostly live off of fruits and some insects. 

they are also only 3-4 cm big

[ithelpstodream]

the kids are alright.

[smartassjen]

This is kinda perfect.

[glowingangel]

if anyone ever tries to tell u that racism/sexism/ableism/etc. are “natural” just show them this video

[realityrainfall]

Those two that just could not come up with any differences! They were like “we both got glasses, both got these red sweaters, maybe we’re different heigh- nope we’re the same height… well shit we’re perfectly the same!”

[riotlion]

Those kids were perfect

[rae-redacted]

Whenever I see this video I’m always struck that the kids are so quick to say what their friends are GOOD AT or what their friends enjoy. They’re so quick to build each other up!

[naamahdarling]

I love this ad so much.  I watch it several times every time it comes over my dash.

“I used to not like lettuce but now I like lettuce.”  That’s ALWAYS the cutest thing I’ve heard in like a month.

What’s also really interesting to me is listening to the kids’ VERY adult thinking noises.

[thewholesomebean]

This is adorable

[screechingnightchild]

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“No.”

[fantasticfables]

Another thing to note is that they were not shy in letting anyone know what things they were good at, and that’s wonderful.
