strange things did happen here @runyouclevergirl - Tumblr Blog

PLEASE DON’T IGNORE AND HELP ME SPREAD THIS INFO

Over 1,000 scientists are risking their jobs right now by chaining themselves to the doors of corporations killing our planet with fossil fuels. (Nathan Brown)The protest started on April 6,2022 and ever since, a lot of scientists have been arrested for WARNING THE PEOPLE. And yes, it is still ongoing.A statement by a NASA scientist, Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman :How do I politely tell some prominent world leaders on here that their irresponsibility and indifference over climate change are causing young people to have panic attacks and suicidal thoughts? The key to stopping this intensifying crisis is climate action from world leaders. I WISH YOU GUYS TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.

Scientist Rebellion website here.

Scientists (and non-scientists) from SR and other groups (e.g. Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil,...) are still protesting and getting arrested all over the world. Ways to help:

a) spread the word about the protests

b) read up on the climatic and biodiversity crisis and teach others about it (a suggestion on where to start here)

c) if you can, donate to SR and others to help with legal fees

d) contact your government, MPs, parties, etc to act on the climate and biodiversity crisis (e.g. expand protection of natural areas, stop oil and gas)

e) pressure journalists to report on the protest and the crisis (they’ve been keeping too silent)

f) become an activist yourself! - you needn’t be a scientist to join in, everyone is needed

“I don’t think we’re born with a natural tendency to protect the environment. I think it’s something we learn if we’re educated and brought up to have the manners to care for the world. At some stage in our lives, the greed factor became stronger, and that has led us to the horrible situation we’re in now. A CHANGE IS NECESSARY, and I believe my films convey that.“ - Hayao Miyazaki

hi ! sabes se há algumas petições ou protestos a decorrer para evitar a abertura de novas minas de lítio no norte ?

se não estou em erro os planos são todos para zonas que já têm pouca área natural/florestal :(

hey! tenho mesmo que pesquisar sobre isto. se há alguém que esteja dentro do tema e tenha interesse em partilhar o seu conhecimento, PFF MANDE-ME MSG que talvez possamos colaborar num projeto.

está aqui o que conheço:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/movimentonaoasminas/

https://peticaopublica.com/?pi=alertalitiopeticao

@runyouclevergirl talvez possa ajudar mais.

Só tu para me fazeres desencantar dos escombros a pass do tumblr.

Ora bem, não tenho seguido o tema tão de perto quanto devia. Dito isto, recomendo seguirem o trabalho neste site: https://guilhotina.info/. Têm um mapa das zonas que estão debaixo da exploração mineira nos próximos anos: https://miningwatch.pt/mapadominerio/index.html (spoiler alert: interior quase todo, incluindo zonas protegidas e parques naturais (!!!!)), e vão falando sobre acções e petições que vão aparecendo sobre o tema. Admito que só conheci o site recentemente, mas parece-me ser sólido.

Além da petição acima, há ainda esta para Montalegre: https://peticaopublica.com/pview.aspx?pi=PT107807.

Há ainda estes grupos fb: https://www.facebook.com/minasnao/ (parece ser mais geral) e https://www.facebook.com/groups/1099788746858505/ (focado em Montalegre). Sinceramente, e de um ponto de vista pessoal, apesar de concordar com a assinatura de petições e participação em protestos (quantos mais melhor), quanto mais leio sobre o assunto, parece-me que o caminho para o protesto pelo clima/biodiversidade/etc tem que ser feito de outra forma, nomeadamente através da desobediência civil (como exemplo o grupo internacional Extinction Rebellion em que as pessoas chegam a poder presas). Infelizmente ainda há pouco disso em Portugal e o que estava a começar a aparecer foi quase extinto com a pandemia. De qualquer forma, caso estejam interessados, o site para a XR de PT é esta: https://rebellion.global/pt/groups/pt-portugal/#groups. Através do link podem encontrar o grupo mais próximo de vós, entrar em contacto com eles, etc. Há outras associações ambientalistas deste cariz em Portugal, mas infelizmente agora não me recordo do nome >< Outro método de apoio muito importante é ajudar financeiramente e/ou com voluntariado ONGs ligadas ao ambiente. A LPN (Liga para a Protecção da Natureza; https://www.lpn.pt/), por exemplo, tem tido dificuldade com pagamento de advogado para processos que têm em tribunal para parar a construção do novo aeroporto em Lisboa (outro crime ambiental monumental), tal como têm dificuldade em seguir todos os processos de (potenciais) crimes ambientais por falta de mão de obra. Conheço melhor a LPN, mas há muitas outras que têm o mesmo problema. Igualmente de um modo mais geral, vale também a pena ver o trabalho da Associação Natureza Portugal | WWF (https://www.natureza-portugal.org/), a FAPAS (https://www.fapas.pt/), o GEOTA (https://www.geota.pt/), a Quercus (https://quercus.pt/) e a SPEA (https://www.spea.pt/). Uma coisa simples que se pode fazer para ajudar qualquer uma destas instituições monetariamente é consignar-lhes o IRS.

Finalmente e voltando ao tema inicial das minas, acredito que haja petições e grupos mais locais para cada zona, mas aí só pesquisando para a zona específica de interesse. Há muito movimento na Serra da Argemela, por exemplo, mas, do meu conhecimento, os grupos são mesmo da região. Qualquer questão, é só colocar. Não sou especialista neste tema, admito, mas ainda consigo ir buscar umas coisinhas ^^”

Honest Advice On Relationships And Life In General By This Balloon Artist

"I try to make commentary about, or poke fun at, social media. The balloons were a social media trope often used in bridal showers and gender reveals, so they were a natural progression of that idea. I love the contrast of profound, funny, or challenging quotes spelled in silly balloons. And since another common cliche is endless selfies, I tend to put myself in most of the photos. They often make people cringe, but the cringe is the point,“ Michael told Bored Panda.

Alright! So this has been knocking around my brain for a while - most of the stuff in my online store is quite old and becoming a bit dated, so

I’m having a stock off during the whole summer with Free Worldwide Shipping and 20% off the final purchase on top of that!

Most of this stuff I will not be reprinting once they’re sold out - a few already have gone out of circulation - and regardless of selling out or not, I’ll be taking them of the store so they’ll only be for sale at art markets or if you contact me directly.

You can find all this at:

etsy.com/shop/hexvault

Check it out, make lavish use of the discount code, go wild, live out the artsy summer of your dreams!

being the eldest daughter is just *asks mother what’s wrong* *cannot express emotions* *”don’t worry i’ll do it”* *fiercely independent but only bc you would rather die than inconvenience someone by asking for help* *carries the trauma of your entire family* *asks mother what’s wrong* *the constant feeling of guilt that has no known origin* *third parent. maybe even replacement father if urs is shitty enough* *emotional punching bag for both parents* *not even a slight clue as to what a healthy boundary is* *asks mother what’s wrong*

Gigantic 16th century sculpture known as Colosso dell’Appennino, or the Appennine Colossus located in the park of Villa Demidoff (just north of Florence, Italy). It was erected in 1580 by Italian sculptor Giambologna (1529-1608, Italy).

does anyone else google how-to’s for things like “how to write a nice farewell message to a colleague”. people Must bc the information is out there... my favourite advice of all time is lemony snicket’s how to write a thank-you note

unicyclehippo

ID: a screenshot of Lemony Snicket’s Advice on How to Write a Nice Thank-You Note

1. Do not start with the thank you.

2. Start with any other sentence. If you first say “Thank you for the nice sweater,” you can’t imagine what to write next. Say, “It was so wonderful to come home from school to find this nice sweater. Thank you for thinking of me on Arbor Day.”

3. Then you’re done.

whyntj-deactivated20200514

But "Thank you for the nice sweater" is succinct. Why say anything more?

unicyclehippo

That’s honestly very often my thinking as well! The fact of the matter is that a nice thank you note - or a birthday message, or farewell message, like I said in the first post - means more to the person receiving the note than the person writing it. A simple “Thank you for the nice sweater” is succinct, yes, but by touching on one or two other points, you can make the message personal and seem like a lot of thought has gone into it. This is important because it makes the thanks seem genuine and makes the other person feel like they really have given a good gift, or like the birthday/farewell/congratulations message etc. is something heartfelt more than something perfunctory.

Daddy’s at the food store, Mummy’s out of town,

She’s working at the hospital since Rhona came to town,

Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to town,

Hide away, hide away, she’s come to take us down.

Miss Rhona’s at the doorstep, I’ll keep 6 feet away,

But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her some today,

Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to stay,

Hide away, hide away, we can’t come out to play.

But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her some today,

And here’s a note from Rhona, she wanted me to say,

Hide away, hide away, keep 6 feet away,

Hide away, hide away, she took us down today.

roseverdict

[Image ID: Tumblr user @neanderthyall says in the notes, “I thought that 6 feet was kind of a double meaning. Like six feet away to stop the spread, but when people die they’re six feet underground, and its six feet of the dirt that keeps you apart. Like ‘Hide away, hide away, even though it hurts Hide away, hide away, or the six feet will be dirt’.” End ID.]

HI DON’T LEAVE THIS IN THE NOTES THAT’S ACTUALLY BRILLIANT

billpottsismygf

I’ve taken the liberty of expanding the lyrics slightly and coming up with a tune:

Daddy’s at the food store, Mummy’s out of town, She’s working at the hospital since Rhona came to town, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to town, Hide away, hide away, she’s come to take us down.

Miss Rhona’s at the doorstep, I’ll keep 6 feet away, But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her some today, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to stay, Hide away, hide away, we can’t come out to play.

I need to see the sunlight, I’ve not been out in days And here’s a note from Rhona, she wanted me to say, Hide away, hide away, keep 6 feet away, Hide away, hide away, she took us down today

The days all run together, I haven’t changed my shirt We may be getting restless, but keep on the alert Hide away, hide away, even though it hurts Hide away, hide away, or the six feet will be dirt

@billpottsismygf’s extended version. A beautiful singing voice 🎶☺️

billpottsismygf

As planned I’ve extended this even further and re-recorded it with the new lyrics and a guitar part; it’s also a bit better quality. It’s so cool that so many different versions of this song have sprung up already! I recommend having a scroll through them all on @jus-tea‘s tumblr.

(Em)Daddy’s at the (B7)food store, (Em)Mummy’s out of (B7)town, She’s (Em)working at the (B7)hospital since (Em)Rhona (B7)came to (Em)town, (Am)Hide away, hide away, Miss (Em)Rhona’s come to town, (Am)Hide away, (Em)hide away, she’s come to (B7)take us (Em)down.

Miss Rhona’s at the doorstep, I’ll keep six feet away, But Grandma needs the paper, I’ll take her one today, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s come to stay, Hide away, hide away, we can’t come out to play.

I’m missing all my friends, though we keep in touch by phone, I’m learning what it is to truly be alone, Hide away, hide away, even though you moan, Hide away, hide away, or we’ll be lying prone.

My love she says she misses the twinkle of my eyes, But Rhona stalks the streets and to meet would be unwise, Hide away, hide away, we hear the desperate cries, Hide away, hide away, or see the bodies rise.

I feel myself a-coughin’, I haven’t got a mask, It’s work or die for me, though, so who am I to ask, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s on the task, Hide away, hide away, she’s come for me at last.

I need to see the sunlight, I’ve not been out in days, And here’s a note from Rhona, she wanted me to say, Hide away, hide away, keep 6 feet away, Hide away, hide away, she took us down today.

The days all run together, I haven’t changed my shirt, We may be getting restless, but keep on the alert, Hide away, hide away, Miss Rhona’s quite the flirt, Hide away, hide away, her touch is not inert.

Hide away, hide away, even though it hurts, Hide away, hide away, or six feet will be dirt.
