Hello

[endangered-justice-seeker]

I don’t know the terrorist’s name. Nor do I care to know it. Im keen on knowing the names, remembering the stories and celebrating the lives of the victims.  

[ibelikingtheturtles]

why did i move???

i just got a second job to pay for my rent... still don’t know how i’m gonna feed me and my cat and pay to go to the doctors about my anxiety but at least i can stay in my flat

[endangered-justice-seeker]

This is painful. I have no words..

[acti-veg]

Just a head’s up, when meat eaters say things like “I’m glad you’re not like most vegans you’re cool about it” what they really mean is “I’m glad you’re silent about animal cruelty so I can eat animals without having to think about it.”

[radicalduck]

No actually what they likely mean is “I’m glad you’re not like PETA and compare women’s bodies to beef and pork” or “I’m glad you’re not the type of asshole who blames poor people for not being able to afford healthy vegan foods instead of getting upset at the grocery chains who throw out tons and tons of perfectly good produce”

[tr1angl3]

see also: “im glad youre not one of those vegans who compares the meat industry to the holocaust”. anti-semetic, sexist, racist, and classist rhetoric is unfortunately quite common among vegans and it’s disingenuous as hell to act like having an issue with that is silencing vegans.

[emotional-karuma]

Also “I’m glad you aren’t one of those vegans who thinks I should put my health on the line”

[spacemomalex]

“I’m glad you don’t harass me over my life choices because you’re a decent fucking human being who realizes that throwing humans under the bus so you can have an ego trip is a shitty thing to do”

[cephalopodvictorious]

Also: I’m glad you’re not one of those vegans who lies about what’s in food they’re feeding me when I ask about my allergens so that I don’t have to risk literally dying

[hollowboobtheory]

“i’m glad you’re not literally blaming global climate change on me, personally, for liking cheese while corporations dump pollution directly into the ozone by the ton because it saves them a few dollars”

“i’m glad you’re not getting on a moral high horse about animal cruelty while ignoring the human rights abuses that go into farming your vegan faves like quinoa”

[theleastlunatic]

THAT LAST ONE

[wemblingfool]

I’m glad you’re not an abusive asshole who forcefeeds your carnivorous pets a “vegan diet” just for your moral selfrighteousness.

I’m glad you’re not down with killing millions of bees and destroying livelyhoods by declaring war against beekeepers.

I’m glad you’re not taking food out of the mouths of indigenous peoples who depend on it so you can indulge in your fad foods.

[thewonderfulkatsukinikifrovs]

“I’m glad you don’t shame me for literally being allergic to meat supstitutes.”

“I’m glad you don’t ignore the environmental strain caused by deforestation growing soy, almonds and other meat subtitutes after they were popularized by the corporations taking advantage of the healthfood and vegan movement.”

To those who are fans of MARVEL…Stan needs our help…please watch the video and spread the word!

[femmescripter]

I know I said I wouldn’t do any Marvel based posts after Mr. Ditko passed away, but this has to be known. This has to be shared. If only for Stan Lee’s sake. I cannot believe how horrible people can be. And to hear his own daughter is treating him so shabilly. This breaks my heart.

Anyone who claims to be a real Marvel fan will reblog this on all social media platforms. And you’ll write to the actors of the Marvel movies to help us also. It seems like only the actors and us, the fans, are the ones who really care about Mr. Lee anymore. Please guys. We have to help him. NOW.

Stan Lee is a hero to a lot of us. It’s time that we be a hero for him. And even if you don’t like Marvel, anyone who doesn’t tolerate elder abuse should help!

[crossed-quills]

Please please please reblog this.

Stan Lee created Marvel Comics.

Stan Lee changed the world of entertainment as we know it by diverging from the norm and encouraging the acceptance of those who are different (X-Men mutants in 1963).

Stan Lee, at the age of 95, is giving up on life because everyone close to him is depending upon him like vultures.

Please please please reblog this. Maybe someone with influence can help him. Maybe the state will step in if enough people but them about it. Maybe we can make Stan’s twilight years enjoyable instead of the hell he’s going through.

Thanks you.

“Excelsior!”

[kamalahkhan]

REBLOGGGGGGGGGGGG

[hrismynewpersonality]

I am so angry at the world for making this man feel like he doesn’t have anything worthy in his life. Stan Lee is a hero who helped many of us with the universe he created. And now we should help him.

[archivedtdp-deactivated20240111]

@klubbhead, I’ve seen you like Marvel movies, so could you possibly boost this if you haven’t seen it already?

@thespectacularspider-girl, tagging you too in case you haven’t seen it yet.

Mugshot of a teenage girl arrested for protesting segregation, Mississippi, 1961.

[attackoftheskydancers]

Her name is Joan Trumpauer Mulholland. Her family disowned her for her activism. After her first arrest, she was tested for mental illness, because Virginia law enforcement couldn’t think of any other reason why a white Virginian girl would want to fight for civil rights. She also created the Joan Trumpauer Mullholland Foundation. Most recently, she was interviewed on Samatha Bee’s Full Frontal on February 15 for their segment on Black History Month. Don’t reduce civil rights heroes to “teenage girl”.

[kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201]

She’s still alive!!! She’s 74.

Thank you Joan. 

From her wikipedia page: 

(Here’s a documentary about her in case you’re not big on reading. )

Her great-grandparents were slave owners in Georgia, and after the United States Civil War, they became sharecroppers. Trumpauer later recalled an occasion that forever changed her perspective, when visiting her family in Georgia during summer. Joan and her childhood friend Mary, dared each other to walk into “n*gger” town, which was located on the other side of the train tracks. Mulholland stated her eyes were opened by the experience: “No one said anything to me, but the way they shrunk back and became invisible, showed me that they believed that they weren’t as good as me. At the age of 10, Joan Trumpauer began to recognize the economic divide between the races. At that moment she vowed to herself that if she could do anything, to help be a part of the Civil Rights Movement and change the world, she would.

In the spring of 1960, Mulholland participated in her first of many sit-ins. Being a white, southern woman, her civil rights activism was not understood. She was branded as mentally ill and was taken in for testing after her first arrest. Out of fear of shakedowns, Mulholland wore a skirt with a deep, ruffled hem where she would hide paper that she had crumpled until it was soft and then folded neatly. With this paper, Mulholland was able to write a diary about her experiences that still exists today. In this diary, she explains what they were given to eat, and how they sang almost all night long. She even mentioned the segregation in the jail cells and stated, “I think all the girls in here are gems but I feel more in common with the Negro girls & wish I was locked in with them instead of these atheist Yankees. 

Soon after Mulholland’s release, Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Hamilton E. Holmes became the first African American students to enroll at the University of Georgia. Mulholland thought, “Now if whites were going to riot when black students were going to white schools, what were they going to do if a white student went to a black school?” She then became the first white student to enroll in Tougaloo College in Jackson, where she met Medgar Evers, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Reverend Ed King, and Anne Moody.

She received many letters scolding or threatening her while she was attending Tougaloo. Her parents later tried to reconcile with their daughter, and they tried to bribe her with a trip to Europe. She accepted their offer and went with them during summer vacation. Shortly after they returned, however, she went straight back to Tougaloo College.

She ultimately retired after teaching English as a Second Language for 40 years and started the Joan Trumpauer Mulholland Foundation, dedicated to educating the youth about the Civil Rights Movement and how to become activists in their own communities. 

[kittyslingshot]

I watched a YouTube video once (by a guy who’s name escapes me) about the importance of making sure the stories of white activists are told. His point was that it’s not about lavishing praise on them just because they were white and “woke”, it’s about letting other white allies see that others have come before them who were willing to sacrifice and do the hard work. This way they can see themselves in someone and realize that destroying inequality isn’t a fringe interest or just an “us vs. them” issue. It has to be ALL OF US.

[eroscestlavie]

i can’t believe that photo of hemsworth hiddleston and taika waititi all taking a nap together that’s so cursed and blessed at the same time 

[eroscestlavie]

i’m the fact that the person taking the photo had to use a panoramic shot to get all of tom in the photo 

[cordaloo]

the FACT that mark ruffalo is the one who took this and then posted it on facebooks like the nerdy dad he is

[alsedes]

I just noticed Taika Waititi is snuggling Chris Hemsworth’s legs. This is the most precious image in existence.

[slothgangang]

This is what non-toxic masculinity looks like.

[fernlom]

This is the world warriormale wants, and I’m A-OK with that. Fight when needed, but never fear the embrace of your brother.

Chadwick Boseman surprises Black Panther fans while they say what the movie means to them.

[pookyjames]

Great!

[insecure-beautyy]

I love Chadwick so much

[ibelikingtheturtles]

This is what happens when you take me to a Marvel movie like I need help. This was also the second time I saw Black Panther in two days that movie is fucking amazing

Wishing a speedy recovery to Anthony Borges, 15. Used his body to hold a door closed to protect his classmates. Shot 5 times Hero.

[kurdaa]

There’s a GoFundMe for him. I donated $5 and the total is about $30k as of now (2/18/2018) but hopefully more can be raised to help bills.

https://www.gofundme.com/anthonyborges/donate

[casanova-lives]

Kid who protected other kids from a school shooter with his life has to ask for donations to cover the cost of recovering from being shot. Capitalism at work!

Please donate if you can. This system is evil, but we have to do our best to not lose our humanity in it.

🚨 The internet needs you 🚨

You’re up again, Tumblr. 

Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won. 

That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.

The new head of the FCC wants to undo the net neutrality protections you fought so hard for.

His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.

Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.

You know the drill. Here’s what to do:

The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.

Go there now 👉 dearfcc.org ✌️

You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:

I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.

The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them. 

The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.

Please leave the existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.

Thank you!

If you need more ammo, feel free to quote these experts from our net neutrality Issue Time. TechCrunch and Battle for the Net also have some good starters.

Everyone is counting on everyone else here. Do your part and tell the FCC to keep a free and open internet under Title II.

THE ONE TIME I AGREE WITH @staff

[the-tree-line]

alright I’ve been hesitant to reblog a net neutrality post to my snake blog but fuck, even staff is on this boat, I hope it comes across as important
