Wolves going for a dip

[lesbianshepard]

This is a uniquely terrible time to have the first American pope in regards to global politics and optics, but by god is Chicago Pope a comedic goldmine. We are in a golden age of posting.

I can't choose a favorite. My entire feed is just banger after banger.

cosmo, wanda, i want you to spawn a piece of radioactive plutonium in that person's stomach

You know, rivers catching on fire used to be a regular occurrence.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Boring, even. Mundane. People just accepted that rivers had oil slicks floating on them that could be lit by somebody throwing their cigarette in the wrong place. Cities had regular protocols in place on what to do when the river caught on fire.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The modern environmentalism movement wasn’t just started by hippies you know. Regular people cared about this stuff because their rivers caught on fire and existing near farms gave them cancer and by the 1970s they weren’t even seeing that much economic benefit from it.

[what-even-is-thiss]

If you don’t live in a world where rivers regularly catch on fire it’s because of stuff like the clean water and air acts. A lot of rivers in the US that in the first half of the 20th century regularly caught on fire are now safe to swim and fish in.

A lot of environmental damage is reversible if we act. We’ve got a lot of success stories like this actually. A lot of formerly endangered species have come back, fish have returned to American rivers, the ozone layer is being restored.

I’m not sure what’s going to happen next with the environment but I hold out at least a little bit of hope. Because rivers used to catch on fire and now for the most part they don’t.

happy unnecessary horse day

[schmergo]

To all the parents out there who bundle their babies up in the winter time with those little hats with the little ears that make them look like little teddy bears: You are doing the lord’s work. Seeing tiny ewoks toddle across the grocery store parking lot is just what we all need sometimes. My joy is immeasurable and my day is restored.

My doctor just gave the excellent advice that the next few days are "airport rules". You do whatever you need to care for you and yours—even if that is having a martini at 10:00—and you make sure you are kind to yourself.

If you feel cold and are shaking, this could be a sign of mild shock. Drink something warm, wrap yourself up in a (pile of) blankets, and do something to distract yourself.

The work does not stop, but we cannot help others and improve the world if we are burned out and despairing.

Check in on your vulnerable friends. Your LGBTQ+ friends. Your black friends. Your Muslim friends. Your Jewish Friends. Your friends of all walks that I do not have the words for.

Remember that hope is not delicate. Hope is like a woman with scratches on her face, a broken nose, and grazed knuckles. A woman who always picks herself back up for another go.

Join your community and mutual aid groups. Don't expect them to be ready and waiting for you; sometimes the hard work that needs doing is getting it started. Now is the time to get involved. Apathy is what got us here. Donate to organizations that can continue to fight the good fight.

Remember that it is okay to be angry. Many in the voting populace have fundamentally failed all of the most vulnerable as well as themselves. Be angry, and then drive that anger into something better; fundamentally, you just have to care about people.

Even with a stranglehold on the senate, presidency, house, and supreme court, Trump is going to fight an uphill battle when it comes to changing the constitution.

Get your documentation in order and take steps to protect yourself and your family. Think, prepare, and be ready.

If you have the means and willingness to flee the country, then flee. It can put you in a better position to advocate for positive change.

Remember that this is not a zero-sum game. Gaining rights on one front does not mean losing them on another. Lift everybody up together and we will all benefit.

Finally, keep your fucking mouth shut. If you know your friends are LGBT, no you to not. If you know about an abortion or pregnancy, no you do not. If your neighbor is undocumented, no they fucking are not. If the cops come knocking, you shut the fuck up. Stand together and give the fascists no quarter.

Remember, above all else, that you will still wake up. You will still have a life. You will eat good food. You will laugh with those you love. You will see the beauty of nature that will outlast us. Things will get harder, but there will undoubtedly be many moments of joy within it.

Feel the pain. Grieve if you need to. Allow yourself to feel whatever it is you are feeling. But do not give up. To succumb to despair here does nobody any service, and only by sticking together and uplifting each other can we try and build a better future.

it’s hard because you weren’t meant to do it alone. you weren’t meant to be a self-sustaining eco-god who gardens all of your food and eats vegan and only shops at the expensive co-op, makes your own clothes and buys the bulk soaps, cans, organizes events and protests alone, makes flyers and sets up petitions, shows up to political rallies, bike everywhere and inform everyone in the world all on your own.

you were meant to carpool with friends, clip coupons together and have mending circles on Friday nights. you were meant to keep a small plot in a group garden that everyone tends to, and you rotate turns every week. you were meant to design the flyer that your friend hands out or say the speech that your boygirlfriend edited. you were meant to be friends with the public bus drivers and talk to the farmers who drop off that crazy new kombucha flavor at the co-op and be kind to Walmart cashiers. you were meant to meal plan together and crowdfund for families in need and read each other old poetry and contemplate manifestos together hungover at the local coffee shop on special treat sunday and then go to the beach and have awesome gay sex that night. not alone. not kidding.

find your people instead of making a different kind of work for yourself. doing it all alone has never been your burden to bear. you were meant to do it with friends.

If you're thinking "everyone is telling me to organise, but i don't know what to do!" then boy oh boy have i made the venn diagram for you!

What are your skills? What are you good at? Can you sew, draw, write, make music, do computer stuff? Are you a cook, do you know how to grow things or find wild food, do you have caregiving experience? Are you organised, do you find cleaning relaxing, do you like to plan events, can you fix things, do you have spare income you can donate to support grassroots organising efforts? What are you able to do?

What needs to be done? Getting involved doesn't just mean marching in the street. There are countless things that need doing: someone needs to do the care work, wash the dishes, tend the garden, do the admin work. Find out what needs to be done.

What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning? If you only focus on the first two, you'll burn out and that doesn't help anyone. You need to feed your soul as well.

Think of those three things, and find where they overlap. And that's what you should do.

from 1980

[athenathewillow]

antifascist political advocacy has been as simple as this since its inception—and before you say “no! that’s not fascist, that’s capitalist!” do some research and come back.

fascist countries ban apps. fascist countries monitor their citizens. fascist countries lie in bed with billionaires.

we can’t all be che guevara or malcolm x, but we don’t have to be. if you’re fed up with american censorship, corporations stealing cents from you until you have nothing left, and the freedoms you were promised feel snatched away from you, you’re right.

do something small every day—get your friends on board. if you don’t want nazi germany to repeat itself, stick it to those fucks and make them hurt. a bit at a time from a lot of people is how revolutions happen.

in light of Trump's inauguration speech declaring multiple national emergencies that require him to take god-knows-what executive actions immediately, I'd like to remember this chapter of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder:

“Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’, believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’.”
