Why would you stop this genius system? Just start paying the raccoons and call it a day
Unionize the raccoons.

Here’s a quick video summarizing what’s happening with the farmers protests
transcript of part 2 and 3 of the video summarizing the farmers protests in india
part 2:
Big companies are gonna benefit from the 3 new laws that have been passed. And on top of that more than 80% of India's farmers are small growers who don't have storage facilities at their disposal. These new laws will essentially lead to the growing debt for the farmers in Punjab and other parts of India. Notice how I said 'growing'. They could even be forced to sell their land and small farmers' businesses will be crushed. India's farmers are extremely important and contribute nearly 15% to India's $2.7 trillion economy. So if the farmers have a problem with these rules, there's a damn problem. Currently in India farmers are peacefully protesting these laws, but they're being brutally attacked by the police. Tear gas, water cannons and other atrocities are being committed and we can't allow this to happen.
part 3:
The farmers are also being told they're only allowed to protest on the outskirts of India's capital, New Delhi. Now, this is pretty shady especially when you consider that all other major rallies get to take place at 2 venues at the center of the city. Why are we silencing the farmers' voices? The farmers of Punjab and throughout the rest of India are essential and need to treated better. Even with the mandi system in place they were not making liveable wages and they've been living in serious debt. We need to spread awareness and find ways to support those who literally feed the country. Check out these resources to help:

incoming wall of text but HEY LOOK IT’S THAT KICKSTARTER I MEAN TO RUN IN FEBRUARY BUT THIS ENTIRE YEAR HAS BEEN A RIDE HAHAHA *cough*
HERE’S THE LINK TO THE KICKSTARTER PAGE
-but! in case you don’t want to be bothered going there for the pitch here’s the gist: I made a fairytale story, and lots of people wanted it to be a book, so we’re gonna try to make it into a book! There’s also lots of really nice rewards like seriously they’re really shiny and I love them?? You can read the entire story here for free to see if you like it! As a taster it contains but is not limited to-
Pretty Pastel Pink City
Princess Who can Kick your Ass and Will
Adorable Silent Movie Comedian-type Jester Nerd
MUTUAL. PINING. and rhymes. lots of rhymes. also a baby dragon.
If that’s not enough for you THERE IS ALSO LIKE A WHOLE PLOT WHERE SNEAKY SNOBBY HIGH-UPS IN THE CASTLE TRY TO LIKE, MURDER THE JESTER AND IT GETS KIND OF INTENSE NGL like make up your own mind about it by going to read it. Go on. Read my dorky love story it’s completely free and will take like 10 minutes tops and like maybe you’ll??? Enjoy it? It’s effectively an AU of the two characters from this animation I made a while back, which oh hey look you can watch that for free too at the bottom of this post.
I have also made a lot of Fan Comics on here which you might recognise, and I make The Property of Hate! The only stretch goal is to REPRINT VOLUME ONE AND TWO of TPoH which is currently completely sold out, so if you like any of the stuff I’ve done I’d be HUGELY grateful if you could support this project and/or share it with people! Thank you! :D
never forget where it all started
Do you think Jesus ever got many carpenter requests after he started preaching? Like did anyone ever go up to him and be like; "My Lord! My Lord!" And the disciples are all: "The Master won't do anymore miracles today." But obviously Jesus is like; "Yes, my child?" And they just ask what his basic rate is to fix their door.
No one talks enough about the fact that Jesus had a day job.
He repaired the relationship between humanity and god, he also repaired the table in his friend Mary's house cuz it wobbled too much.
“Jesus!”
“How can I help you my child?”
“So the Chair I got from you and your dad is great, but I tripped over it and it broke, I was hoping you could fix it?”
“Go home and be at peace, your chair is fixed.”
“Lord, did you really just use a miracle to fix his chair?”
“Luke my son, it was still under warranty.”
“honey that guy who made our table got crucified”
This post violently resurfaced deeply suppressed memories
thinking about this dynamic
cannot stress how badly i needed all of these images together on a post
glad we're all in agreement
Holy shit i am SO PLEASED TO SEE THIS TWEET ON MY FEED. My mum is one of the people that’s been helping the Djapwurrung people protect these trees for the last two years (the fight to save the sites has been going on for way longer; two years ago was just when works were about to begin, and attempts to stop the destruction moved from council/legal offices to people literally sitting in front of the trees to block access by large machinery), so it’s an issue I’ve been watching from up close, and and it’s one that hasn’t seen mainstream attention, even though it should have.
There is a core group of individuals who have been on site for TWO YEARS. Other volunteers come in and out to help and live onsite for anywhere between a few days to a few months at a time, but there’s a few individuals who have been on country for TWO YEARS, without pause. They have been camping, unceasingly, on the land to protect these sites (several trees with varying types of cultural importance, including an 800 year old birthing tree which has been the site of over 10,000 Djapwurrung babies being born) for two years. The sites haven’t been left unmanned even for a few hours since this all started.
One of these indigenous protectors has:
been deliberately sprayed in the face with weed poison by a local farmer
been endlessly targetted by the local cops, including being arrested for having an expired licence (even though he was driving a truck on a private field at the time, and not out on the road, so there was no grounds to arrest him) and put in jail for several months over this offence (even though a white would never be arrested for an expired licence. In the end when it finally got to court, the judge was like “You’ve imprisoned this man for months for an expired licence? What the fuck, get out of here, charges are dropped, give the man a warning and let him go”
had the local MacDonalds threaten to call the cops on him for the “crime” of loitering (read: eating a meal in-store)
had a different MacDonalds threaten to call the cops because he didn’t want to give the staff his name and phone number (the COVID restrictions require restaraunts to ask for phone numbers in case of a break out so they can notify people, but it’s not actually a requirement of diners to give those details, and the restaurant certainly doesn’t have the grounds to call the cops on someone for not supplying their number)
strained himself so much by insisting on staying on the land to protect the sites that he wound up hospitalised with various illnesses that struck him because he was physically and emotionally exhausted by the whole situation
walked from the site into Melbourne city, on foot, in an effort to raise awareness (over 200 kilometres/41 hours worth of walking)
The front line camp is alongside a busy road, and all the asshole locals and truck drivers who go past that are pissed about the protest make sure to express their displeasure by honking their horns loudly and repeatedly whenever they go by, whether that’s at 2 pm or 2 am, which I’m sure you can imagine does wonders for the protectors ability to get a good night sleep
That’s just a snippet of what this one person has gone through. That doesn’t cover the constant abuse faced by all of them, the attempts at property destruction, the attitude they get by locals whenever they go into town for supplies, the constant red alerts because someone’s heard that the machinery is being mobilised and that they’re moving to start works tomorrow. There were several occasions where police were called to disperse the protectors so that works could begin, and it’s only because there were more protectors than cops that everyone wasn’t arrested and dragged off.
I could literally go on for days with details about this. An archeologist came out to the site and was absolutely staggered by the stuff that was there – in addition to the trees themselves, there was more archeological evidence of the local indigenous tribe that had lived there, sitting untouched on the surface of the earth than this archeologist has seen at any other site throughout Australia. A detailed report was sent to the supposed Minister for the Environment, who summarily ignored it and gave her stamp of approval for the works to commence without reading any of the reports. The protectors went to court over this and it was found that yeah, the Environment Minister hasn’t done her job at all, and a full review has been ordered —- but the works haven’t been cancelled altogether.
All this for a road that will shave a few minutes of travel off the road that currently already exists. All this for a road that’s got a speed limit of 80 that they want to boost to 110. All this for a road that could go a different route. There’s another route available that the protectors have been pitching for since the start, but VicRoads refuses to consider it for reasons they won’t specify.
This route that they’re insistent on not only cuts directly through several indigenous sites (some of the only ones left in Victoriaof this kind) it also costs around $630 million more. This route is full of hills and valleys that need to be flattened, and it’s twisty and turny. The Northern Route - the one protectors have been wanting since the beginning - is flat and straight, will be literal hundreds of millions of dollars less expensive, will take less time to complete, and doesn’t cut through any indigenous sites.
If you could sign this petition, that would be awesome. Here is another petition.
Here is a copy of an academic petition sent by RMIT to the Victorian government, signed by over 150 academics.
Here is an article written by an indigenous woman (which I am not, by the way; I’m just a white woman who is outraged by what my government is trying to do to these people) on the topic that has some more information.
And thank you, @whitepeopletwitter , for sharing this.
