Constantly In The Throws Of An Existential Crisis @kindagaysometimes - Tumblr Blog

This fake yarn is supposedly better for sheep.

Aimed at people who don’t know where wool comes from, it’s 100% plastic. Yes, plastic.

So any garment you wash will release microfibres into the sea. It’ll never decompose.

You’re supposed to believe that sheep shearing is violent and cruel. There are imbeciles out there that work in an unprofessional manner while shearing, but that’s not the case overall.

Sheep don’t suffer from having their fleece removed.

Left on, the fleece can become a home for fly eggs and the subsequent maggots which can eat the sheep. Chemical treatments are available to prevent that happening. It’s much better for the sheep, the land and the farmer to avoid chemical use.

Don’t be fooled. Wool is a sustainable material, one we should make more and better use of.

This is very important.

May 31st marks the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre.

Please remember it wasn’t JUST Tulsa. This massacre of black wealth happened all over the United States of America.

It is one of the main reasons why black ppl don’t have generational wealth. It is because of white ppl jealousy. Mainly poor whites that couldn’t afford slaves getting revenge on black folk that truly did pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

THANK YOU. IT WASNT JUST TULSA. ANY TIME WE GET SOME WEALTH, ANY TIME WE PULL OURSELVES UP BY OUR BOOTSTRAPS, ANY TIME WE FIND SOLID GROUND THEY BURN THAT SHIT DOWN.

Know this. Know that this is their next step when you actually do 'buy up the hood'. Be ready for them too.

and just to stress the point. image descriptions should be as easy to access as the visual image itself. ramps and elevators should be as easy to access as the stairs. subtitles and transcripts should be as easy to access as the video or audio itself. don't hide these things or put up barriers to them. don't make disabled people jump through hoops for access. disabled people should have convenient, built-in, and easy access to spaces, media and resources as able bodied people do.

This isn't me going "why isn't anyone talking about this??" but since I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet other than news bots of dubious sources, Haiti just experienced a magnitude 7.2 earthquake, eleven years after the magnitude 7 that devastated the country and led to a shite international response that exacerbated the devastation. A tsunami warning was issued

There's also a tropical storm bearing down on them. It should arrive within days.

I don't know if there's legit relief funds set up yet? I'd suggest keeping an eye out if you have the means to help.

We’re not powerless, even if it feels that way.

“Cynicism serves no purpose but to uphold the status quo.” -John Paul Mejia

This article is definitely worth a read. The main points are:

1) Do what you can to reduce your own carbon footprint, but don’t invest all your effort there or rack yourself with guilt if you aren’t in a position to make big lifestyle changes. Focus on the bigger picture (i.e. political, societal, and community changes).

2) Act communally. There is power in numbers. Find an organization that aligns with what you want to achieve and get involved (this could look like donating money, volunteering, etc.).

3) This is an ongoing, long-term issue. Pace yourself and try not to get overwhelmed with frustration if it takes time for your effort to pay off. Sustainable climate action is better than burning yourself out trying to do too much at once and then losing motivation.

4) Make space for both grief and joy. Sometimes you need to make a conscious effort to celebrate the progress that has been made so far and appreciate all the good things that still exist here and now. Honor the grief and fear you have for the future without letting it completely overwhelm your life.
