Hi everyone, I know that these times can be scary, and to help combat them, I’ve put together a list of resources (some are geared towards my home state but I have national resources too).
This isn’t a very comprehensive list so if you have any you’d like to add DM me so I can add it to the doc or add it in the reblog!!
Remember to call your representatives, donate and assemble (as safely as possible) when you can.
Despite the fear and horrors, the fear mongering and propaganda we’ll all be seeing and already have. There’s still a chance.
I’ll post the resources here to for those who don’t want to or are unable to use the link.
I really want someone to roleplay with, I’m looking for original storylines with original characters or fandom roleplays (rn specifically resident evil) where we can do oc x canon or canon x canon or oc x oc please I’m on my knees here
Preferably someone who is consistent and 20+ please and I’d prefer pms or discord 😭🙏 I’m super cool and chill guys please
I also prefer queer ships (fxf, mxm, non binary pairings but I am open to all too we just gotta discuss !)
Me, age 10, doing an essay on the pharaoh’s curse for school: huh. So this archeologist that died and everyone thought it was because he disturbed the pharaoh’s tomb actually died because he used a rusty razor to shave and it infected a mosquito bite. I can see how people could come to that conclusion, but it is a bit silly
Me, today, shaving my mosquito bite-ridden legs: I must tread carefully lest I incur the pharaoh’s wrath
Keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico or whatever your term is for it. Do not allow the Republican regime to label that body of water the Gulf of America to the world. The name came from a the term Mexica, what the Aztecs called themselves. It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico since the 1600s.
Keep calling it Mount Denali. The original name before it was Mount McKinley. Don’t let the First Nations be erased.
It may sound stupid and petty. But it is an attempt to rewrite history and make us forget the origins. It is a literal white washing of history. This type of censorship is a beginning to greater evils.
This goes for everyone who works in writing. If you write for a website, social media, blog, if you make marketing emails, it’s called the Gulf of Mexico. If you’re company is having discuss about how to interpret the style guide on this issue, you have to double down on the Gulf of Mexico. There’s no neutral or apolitical way about writing about geography and your voice matters.
A social media business renamed itself to a single letter and everyone thought it was annoying but most writers reluctantly capitulated because they wanted to use the official name. We can’t let that happen with a sovereign country’s sovereign waters.
