!!!IMPORTANT FOR BLACK US VOTERS!!!
I saw this on Facebook and went to check my registration status, sure it was fine because I voted recently, but I put in the info and it said I’m not registered
PLEASE, especially if you’re a Black voter, check your registration status at vote.org
Know your status
Does your last name sound anything like Lopez, Martinez, or Rodriguez? Mine does. When I saw this post I checked my voter registration status online with my state. Despite registering just three months ago, I was no longer registered to vote, and I did not receive my ballot. If you live in a mail-in voting state and you didn’t get your ballot, contact your county election official/county clerk for a replacement.
Make sure you check with your state’s voting site as well. I just had the shit scared out of me because that website said I was registered, but when I checked my state’s site (and made sure I had the right county selected) it said I was registered.
It’s worth checking your state’s site every few months anyway (especially when any election is coming up).
Texas is definitely purging voters. They’re also making it harder to re-register if they purged you. I hate that this is true, but POC will need to check and check frequently to stay registered in Texas.
College students, too. In the 2014 election, I had to vote in San Marcos, and I can’t tell you how many Texas State students were turned away because they didn’t cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s on getting their registration transferred and current.
i use a site called TurboVote run by a nonprofit that sends me reminders based on where im registered to vote before every election. it sends me an email to remind me to check my registration, to apply for absentee ballots, etc. it’s helpful so that you can check if you’ve been purged regularly (and participate in the local races that never get any publicity); https://turbovote.org/
Please register and check with your town/city hall often to make sure you are still registered. Please vote.
THIS IS A REMINDER
You have about two months to make sure you’re registered to vote by mail in the US.
school schedules are designed in such a way that kids are deprived of adequate food and sleep. the sleep piece has been written on extensively, but it’s quite plain that requiring young people to wake up at 6am during the developmental phase when they need the most sleep and tend to stay up later is a terrible public health move.
from an eating perspective, it’s just as bad. say a middle or high schooler eats breakfast (if they even eat breakfast) at 7am, then doesn’t eat lunch until 11-12 (and lunch is often inadequate), then has after-school activities, etc. and may not get home until late afternoon, or eat dinner until evening. and kids in school are not generally allowed to snack in class or given time to snack between classes. these gaps between eating times are way too big for adolescents! they need a lot of food–more than adults–to support the growth process, just as they need more sleep.
it’s no wonder many kids start eating reactively in their teens, especially after school or at night–they’re not being adequately fed during the day. even if kids aren’t restricted from eating freely/fully at home, their daily lives regularly involve periods of energy deficiency. add to that the social pressures around body size, and it’s a recipe for disorder at an epidemic level
And it’s not an accident or a simple public health mistake that schools are designed this way—they are the training ground for laborers who’ll spend a lifetime on the bosses’ schedule, stripped (to varying degrees depending on social location) of their bodily autonomy and health
Reblog if you actually give a shit about anyone who's suicidal or depressed.
no one should scroll past this
y’all gotta stop using “transmasc” as a synonym for trans man i swear to GOD
trans man: identifying as a man but not being assigned male at birth
transmasc: transitioning to become/present as masculine, whether it be medically (hrt, surgery) or other (clothes, makeup)
you can be transmasc and be a woman (many butch lesbians are transmasc, some even going on T) or be transmasc and nonbinary
you can be a trans man and not be transmasc, being comfortable and wanting to present as feminine
transmasc does not equal trans man
(please reblog this if you can)

be like Thor, be there to support your loved ones,accept who they are and celebrate them
BTW, this is all canon, Loki is canonically genderfluid and is referred to as a “both” or “neither” by others, even Odin:
i love one (1) genderfluid norse deity and one (1) support icon
This has the same energy as “act like a lady.” “I’m a guy today” “then act like a gentleman”
Vegans who are vegan because “but the earth” and “but the farmers” and “but the animals” and all this other hoity-toity nonsense and not just because they can’t or don’t wanna eat meat/animal products make me fuckin tired man.
Okay I’m not off this bullshit yet.
The thing is, I’ve got zero issues if you personally don’t like meat or animal products, or if you’re unable to eat them. Or if you just don’t want to! You can eat whatever you like, and you shouldn’t be forced to eat something you don’t.
But what gets under my skin is when people start trying to one-up each other about why they’re vegan, and start advocating for everyone else to do it, and start calling farmers abusive and not giving a fuck about the sustainability of their diets.
Because the rub is that not every farmer’s field is right for every crop. Where I live, the soil is full of clay and sand, and fields often flood. Our fields support corn, beans, wheat, grass, and root veggies super well! But... there are plenty of foods it doesn’t support. And you have to remember that farmer’s income depends on their crop yielding as much as possible. For a small farm, trying to grow something that their soil isn’t made for requires thousands of dollars of manure and topsoil. It’s not something they can do easily. Farmers don’t see money for their efforts until they harvest and sell it. They have to get max product.
It’s hard to get a balanced diet on just plants. And while animals are their own challenge to farm, often they are the best use of the land a farmer has. You can grow cattle enough to sustain yourself on way less land than a farmer who grows corn or wheat. Chickens are easy to raise and care for humanely, the only real limiting factor is how much space you have in your yard and how you plan to feed them. Animals don’t require a specific ph of soil or a certain nitrogen content. And their manure can be composted and sold to other farmers for their fields.
This is a system that works, and the only reason we hear about animals facing abuse in farms is because huge farms care more about maximum profit and less about animal welfare.
Which isn’t to say every big company mistreats animals either - most livestocks are extremely susceptible to disease, death, and stunted growth when put into poor conditions. Unfortunately for chickens, they tend not to stop growing when stressed, and that has led big companies to abuse them.
But the point is that it’s not only possible to raise livestock humanely, it’s one of the best ways to get good quality products from them. A mistreated, malnourished cow won’t produce as much milk as one that is well taken care of. A laying hen under stress will not lay. And excluding chickens, most animals grown for meat will not eat properly when overly stressed.
It also seems like vegans seem to think that animals are only raised for their products and meat, when their hides, feathers, and bones are all usually used as well. And I hate to be that guy, but an item made of leather is going to last you so much longer than one made of plastic, and will break down once used as well.
Plus, they often seem to disreguard the fact that many types of animals benefit from our farming them. Bees, for example, aren’t native to North America but are now one of its biggest pollinatiors. And they’re dying, for reasons we don’t know. But beekeeping helps protect those bees. Often, when bees fill a hive’s available space with honey, they get stressed and start wanting to swarm and find a new place. By removing slate of honey from a hive, a beekeeper prevents that. Plus, bees always make more honey than they need, and if they have too much they may get stressed and want to split, which can lead to the death of the hive.
Not to mention that popular vegan foods are not sustainable. Agave nectar comes from a cactus that takes nearly 100 years to grow, and it is being consumed faster than it can repopulate. Quinoa is a grain that’s currently being farmed mostly using extremely exploitatative labor.
And that being vegan is both expensive and is full of foods that are common allergens, like nuts, soy, wheat, and so on.
“But if we all just used that land to farm, we could end hunger!”
No, you can’t. Because we have enough food to feed everyone. We have so much food! Way more than we need. So much that we toss out the food that looks ugly even if it isn’t bad. The reason people go hungry is because of Food Deserts. I live in a food desert. It’s an area where food isn’t sold in many places and is often expensive. The nearest grocery store to me is at least 15 minutes away if I want fresh food. Food deserts are why people are starving. Not because of a lack of food. Meat here is much cheaper than vegan alternatives, and is more widely available.
Veganism has become something of a scourge to me and where I live, which is heavily farmland. All it does here is hurt the people trying to live here, and in turn their animals.
Veganism is a diet choice, and nothing more. You are not better than me because you don’t eat what I do. You aren’t less harmful because you don’t eat what I do. There is no perfect answer, and for that I’m sorry. But veganism isn’t anywhere near perfect, either.
God op I need to kiss you on the head for this post you hit pretty much all the marks.
May I add: Indigenous people hunted, farmed local crops, fished, and used ALL their resources well. They did so humanely and they used all the parts of the animal, too. A leather hide will keep you warmer than you imagine. Colonization wiped out species of animals and plants all over the world.
It's not exactly a stretch to say that White Veganism is born of colonizer ideals.
And that whole "Hunting is bad, period" shit? I live in the south and can tell y'all that people here generally don't hunt for fun. We also aren't hunting cows. Squirrel, deer, birds, fish, frogs- So many species are invasive and reproducing wayy to fast, which ruins the ecosystem. If a poor rural family gets fed AND it helps our wildlife flourish, why should we shame them? (And it's an entire different conversation but vegan or "healthy" food is NOT remotely possible while on foodstamps. If you get $500 a month to feed 5 people, you can't remotely afford 4 TOMATOES for $20, much less do a month of "healthy" meals on that budget.)
You absolutely CAN add that and I WILL love you for it
