for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, itâs the season where thatâs normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of SĂŁo Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.
Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they canât breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.
Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they donât see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:
THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and itâs being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Donât let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future â if we have one.
PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!
side note: not to sound bitter or ungrateful but also like whatâs up with Europe⌠yâall exploited South America for centuries but just because you âarenât seeing resultsâ you stop helping altogether?? if you really wanted to help you wouldnât stop because you think you arenât helping lol
People who grew up emotionally neglected tend to carry some false beliefs about emotions in relationships. (By Jonice Webb)
Hereâs a good, but not exhaustive, sampling:
1. Sharing your feelings or troubles with others will make them feel burdened.
2. Sharing your feelings or troubles with others will chase them away.
3. If you let other people see how you feel, they will use it against you.
4. Sharing your feelings with others will make you look weak.
5. Letting others see your weaknesses puts you at a disadvantage.
6. Itâs best not to fight if you want to have a good relationship.
7. Talking about a problem isnât helpful. Only action solves a problem.
Fortunately, not one of these beliefs is true. In fact, they are each and every one dead wrong. (The only exception is if you share your feelings with another emotionally neglected person, who may not have any idea how to respond). When you grow up receiving consistent direct or indirect messages that you should keep your feelings to yourself, it is natural to assume that those feelings are burdensome and undesirable to others.

Prior to the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in 2013, there was no unified standard for what topics and rigor of method must be taught in American schools.
Also, afaik, the CCSS still only apply to Language Arts and Mathematics, meaning we still donât have a nationwide standard for what is taught in history classes across the United States.
The implementation of CCSS is actually something conservatives and school choice advocates rage against and want repealed. They want to return to the days of hyperlocalization, when method and content were determined not just by state but by county. Meaning every individual county in a state could teach whatever version of localized and agenda-driven history they wanted, and thanks to their indoctrination-minded parents, most kids donât care enough about learning to seek alternative information sources.
When I was in school in the 90s, New Hanover County schools had one of the best sex ed programs in the state of North Carolina, and I benefitted from that. You know what I didnât learn about? The Wilmington race riots. Iâm from fucking Wilmington. I didnât learn about those until I was talking to friends who grew up in Mecklenburg County (4.5 hours across the state) as a goddamn adult. They taught it here, because they didnât necessarily feel the need to hide that less-hyperlocal history from their children.
American revisionist history and selective memory are baked into the cake. You cannot understand the depths of injustice if you canât see how deep the fucking roots go.
Keep digging, kids. Sunlight is the only disinfectant. Exhume the fucking bodies.
It is really weird to see the effects of history education in the US. Itâs really scary sometimes. Not just the gaps in knowledge, but also the mythologization of certain aspects of american history. From the way the Pilgrims are viewed, to the general âpioneerâ mythology and glossing over of the atrocities done to Native Americans. The totally apocryphal story of George Washington cutting down a tree as a child. The way the Founding Fathers are just about held to be infallible, and the US Constitution treated like a holy text.
Most countries do a bit of euphemizing their history, but the US is really notorious about it. Hey, only two years ago, there was a huge thing in Oklahoma about AP history classes, because the Republicans felt that they emphasized âwhat is bad about Americaâ. Because they teach kids to look at history critically.
It shouldnât be just AP history that does that, though. Teaching kids to look at the sources, and actually learn from the past is the bare minimum that needs to be taught in history class. Itâs way more important to learn about mistakes that were done and how theyâre still affecting us today than names of rulers and dates of wars, etc.
JPrince stated drake was about to release a response and he prevented it from happening as it was bad for business and may cripple Kanye and Pushaâs career. After hearing that, I want drake to release that shit now
Businesses like StashTwist and iCANN Berkley and collectives like Supernova Women and The Hood Incubator are bringing black people into the weed industry.
StashTwist
A non-profit delivery service founded by Oakland resident Andrea Unsworth. In an interview with Dope Magazine, she passionately advocated for the moral necessity of expanding the workforce with those who know pot best: former inmates. âI want people who are felons working for me,â she said. âFunds specifically need to be appropriated to helping folks who have been convicted, not just for reparations, but to help them write a business plan.â
Magnolia Wellness
This Oakland dispensaryâs success is thanks in part to Chief Operating Officer Amber Senter, founder of Leisure Life edibles. Senter was introduced to marijuanaâs medicinal effects at 18 (she would be diagnosed with lupus at 33) and began teaching herself how to grow in 2007.
iCANN Berkeley
In May 2016, Sue Taylor was unanimously selected by Berkley city council to recieve a permit to open a dispensary, making the former Catholic school principal and grandmother the first black dispensary owner in the Bay Area city. Once a pot skeptic, she hopes to bring potâs healing properties to other seniors, potâs fastest growing demographic. âI want to bring awareness that there are alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs, and to empower people, whatever their age, so they can experience a meaningful, high quality of life,â Taylor told Jezebel.
Supernova Women
StashTwistâs Andrea Unsworth and Amber Senter of Magnolia Wellness are also cofounders of the collective Supernova Women, alongside attorney Tsion âSunshineâ Lencho, and Nina Parks of Mirage Medicinal cooperative and delivery. The seminars and safe space offered by Supernova are fertile ground to help diversify Californiaâs weed boom, and shed light on obstacles marginalized entrepreneurs can face. These issues can range from the unremarkable â white people who donât want to talk about privilege â to ones specific to the weed industry. âThis whole thing of starting on a level playing field is ridiculous,â Unsworth told NPR. â[Nearly] 80 percent of the lock-ups are people of color. Youâre locking up all of these people who are trying to be entrepreneurs, but now that itâs legal, youâre allowed to say, Oh, you can come into our industry, but you canât have a criminal record. You can have a million dollars, but it canât be from cannabis, it has to be from your 401(k), or investments, or from your daddy. I mean, who are these people? These are not people of color.â
The Hood Incubator
Lanese Martin, Biseat Horning and Ebele Ifedigbo (a Yale MBA) started The Hood Incubator in 2017 with the goal of bringing black people in Oakland and across the country into the marijuana industry. To this end, the group delivers âcommunity organizing, policy advocacy, and economic developmentâ to help underserved communities profit from legal weed. Itâs not just black-owned storefronts theyâre after, but black leaders at the highest levels. âWe envision a model where a pool of minorities can fund growers; manufacturersâwhether itâs tinctures, oils or edibles; suppliers; and dispensaries,â Juell Stewart, the Incubatorâs director of communications, told The Root. âWe want to see a day when we have a group of people who invest in the entire cannabis industry.â
