I’m just super fucking bitter that once the flint water crisis got it’s 15 minutes of fame people stopped giving a shit. The water is still poisoned, people! Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and it’s not just lead! it’s coliform bacteria! it’s THMs! it’s all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising and petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and it’s only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem

I would like to add that the people of Flint cannot sell their houses, because selling a house with leaded water is illegal. Additionally, households with children can’t stop paying for the water because living in a house without running water is cause for CPS to take their kids. Flint has been living this way for over two years. 

The people of Flint are trapped by the legal system. And it is only the most high profile case out many cities with a similar problem. 

Because the government has abandoned them, they are dependant on help from the outside. Donate here

Little Miss Flint Clean Water Fund, organized by LuLu Brezzell

My name is Mari Copeny, I’m a 12 year old from Flint, Michigan. You may know me as Li… LuLu Brezzell needs your support for Little Miss Flin

Mari Copeny has taken the initiative to create a water filter. I’ve linked her GoFundMe that’s she using to raise money for it. She’s been able to raise $50k in donations but her next goal is $1 million

Water is a basic human right, it says a lot about governments that fail to provide that. Especially for a so called ‘first world country’

Hey, remember back in 2016 when there was a lot of cynicism on social media about how both the Democrats and the Republicans were hopelessly corrupt?

Remember how a lot of that turned out to come from Russian psy-ops designed to discourage left-leaning people from voting?

Because I do.

[leeshajoy]

Self-reblogging because I’m seeing both a lot of cynicism about Democrats and a bit of “Biden’s got this sewn up, no need to bother voting” on my socials lately.

Anyone who tells you you shouldn’t vote does not have your best interests at heart.

Nickelodeon have announced a plan to build an underwater theme park in Coron, Palawan, Philippines. They claim the 400 hectares would “advocate ocean protection,” however by building artificial structures they will actually damage and disrupt Palawan’s marine ecosystems - one of the Philippines most beautiful natural areas.

For a channel that targets children, this is unacceptable and sends a terrible message - to destroy the natural world and replace it with plastic and fantasy. 

WE need to preserve what we have left and celebrate the beauty in nature. 

If you agree, join Save Philippine Seas and 150,000+ others and sign the petition here: https://www.bataris.org.ph/petitions/no-to-nickelodeon-s-underwater-theme-park-in-palawan

[fluffy-raccoon-artist]

This isn’t WoY related, but by god this is so messed up.

Nickelodeon, your most famous charactr is a seacreature, and you choose to destroy a part of a beautiful Philipine reef….to promote ocean protection?

Have you taken charity lessons from PETA and Autism Speaks? Kill what you promote to protect?

Fuck you seriously.

Guys, please sign the petition!

[gay-spaghetti]

PLEASE sign the petition.

As a marine biologist, Stephen Hillenburg would have never approved of this :(

[scretladyspider]

Hey. You. Sitting there in your hot room on your phone or laptop. It’s summer. Have you drank any water today? If you haven’t yet please get up and get a nice glass of water, with ice if you can. Hydration is important and so are you. now back to what you were doing. i love you.

Flint isn’t the only city with a water crisis. This majority black town in Louisiana has had brown water for years

petition

#BlackLivesMatter #Louisiana #Government  #StayWoke

[redbeanviolin]

Hey guys! I know I just posted some water-drive info, but I this shit is important and I am appalled that the American government finds treating it’s people, most of all it’s most vulnerable, like this, is acceptable in any way.

This is not a random petition.org type thing, it is a white house site petition looking for enough signatures to qualify to be presented to people of power in the American government. 

If you are American, I hope you will sign it and pass it on to be seen. If you are not, like me, I hope you will pass it on to your American friends. No access to water is not an inconvenience, it is an emergency.

[theambassadorposts]

Flint doesn’t get bottled water service anymore, and they still don’t have clean water. What the hell.

Three years into the water crisis

And nobody gives a sh*t

[bikonciousnessa]

i only heard about this 2 months ago. its been 3 years????

[daggers-drawn]

Remember this started because Snyder switched Flint from a freshwater mountain lake to the polluted Flint River simply to allow his wife’s company to use the lake for bottling instead. This is a manufactured crisis of corruption and capitalism.

[fruitprom]

Also remember that the pipes corroded because they refused to pay for the chemical used to make the water less acidic.

Remember that when the first E. coli outbreak from the water popped up, the city hall was given water coolers by the state, free of charge, all while denying that the water could be unsafe to drink.

Remember that, despite having a huge budget surplus and a “rainy day fund,” set aside that could easily cover the cost of relocating the residents by buying their houses/paying their debt, or could cover a large chunk of the cost of replacing the pipes, the state has decided to continue to only put in the minimal amount of effort.

Remember that flint is majority POC, majority impoverished, and is still being faced with crippling water bills from the Detroit water supply company, where they are often charged $50 a month just to use the service, on top of the cost of their water bill.

Remember that there will now be an entire generation of children who will now be damaged by lead poisoning and damage from the multitude of neurotoxins.

Remember that this is what privatized natural resources looks like. Remember that these people are being punished for having the audacity to dare to be poor in an economy that won’t let them be anything but.

[daggers-drawn]

At every level, this has not been a mistake.

The State and City are most upset that people know its happening and are resisting nation-wide.

But if we lose focus they lose even the small amount of aid they’ve managed to get.

This is how they do it. It’s a siege on the public empathy. Eventually we become numb to the problem and despair. Or something bigger happens.

Then its business as usual again.

Don’t forget Flint
