Crossroads

Focus on wildlife conservation, Earthcare, & sustainable living, w/ some lesbian positive (affirming) content, and animal welfare & animal rights issues, all from a Christian perspective. Supplements my Facebook, Twitter, & YT accounts. "Crossroads" is a play on words, referring to being at a pivotal juncture in history, and to the choices we make as individuals within a culture of consumerism waste, greed, & consumption, and Jesus' call to take up our cross daily and follow Him.

State Attorneys General: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) Please vote in ALL the races, not just the big ones with familiar names like U.S. senators or governors! The United States has a Secretary of State, an Attorney General, a Supreme Court, a Treasurer, etc. EACH STATE ALSO has a Secretary of State, an Attorney General, a Supreme Court, a Treasurer, etc. These are all elected offices in OH and most other states, including the state's Supreme Court. IN OHIO, this election will decide on the Attorney General, 2 Supreme Court Justices, the Secretary of State (the office that RUNS the elections for the state!), and many other offices. If you want to know the role of AGs in the U.S. today, watch this video:

Young people, please go VOTE for Democrats tomorrow.  Your rights and future are being eroded away by the current GOP, which is NOT even a traditional conservative party.  They are FAR from the party of Eisenhower, Nixon, or even Reagan.  This is an IMPORTANT video! Please, actually WATCH it before you give a knee-jerk objection. Then think about it some more before you vote today or tomorrow.

Please participate in this THUNDERCLAP, and call your Senators NOW to tell them to vote AGAINST shooting wolves and bears from airplanes and killing mamas and their cubs in their dens!  (Seriously, how selfish and heartless can people be?)  Tell them you don’t want them to weaken the Endangered Species Act!

HSLF TV Ad: Oppose Donald Trump for President

Please share this with every animal lover you know!

[thatdonna]

(via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FjAPp5ckeY)  Short clip of Trump during the last Presidential election.  Notice how he is, first and foremost, a SALESMAN.  He keeps repeating how great his clothing line is and that people can get them at Macy’s.  (All you blue collar workers always buy your clothes at Macy’s, don’t you?)  Here Trump complains about China and we find out the clothes he sells were made in Bangladesh and CHINA,— NOT in the U.S.!  Trump is SPEECHLESS!   If you want a USED CAR SALESMAN for President, and someone who says one thing and does another, Trump is your man.  Please share.

Please bring back ArchAtlas

Maybe you don’t know this, but ArchAtlas was terminated by tumblr for a minor copyright infringement that was not his fault and was immediately corrected. ArchAtlas was a very informative and formative architecture-centered blog curated by Roberto Cruz Niemiec, who used to credit all his sources, respect captions and links, provided information about the authors posted and answered carefully, politely and acurately thousands of questions about architecture to anyone who might ask. ArchAtlas was the example for a perfect blog perfectly managed. Tumblr @staff, please, return back ArchAtlas to where it belongs. Please reblog.

@staff @support you can’t delete such a very good and complete blog and let porn blogs expand all over tumblr. Not to talk about blogs fomenting eating disorders, intolerance, racism, pedophilia, nazism, antisemitism, islamofobic… let people work for / on tumblr and not automated bots. Thanks.

I thought Hillary was at the top of her game during the debate. I thought Bernie did well too... he could have been a little better, a littler quicker, more polished maybe... but he definitely made a lot of good points and showed his true self. Mostly, I just want the whole nation to compare this debate to the republican circuses we've seen. The democrats are adults who politely discussed actual policy. The repubs are mostly just racist & sexist windbags.

Agreed!

Worth repeating:  “I just want the whole nation to compare this debate to the republican circuses we've seen. The democrats are adults who politely discussed actual policy. The repubs are mostly just racist & sexist windbags.”

Plastic bags are sooo yesterday.  I always take cloth bags into the grocery store, the farmer’s market, the pharmacy, or anywhere I shop.  Here’s a way to get a bag for shopping AND support Bernie Sanders for President!

Pay phone booth repurposed as a tiny library — a “take a book, leave a book” little free library. 

I LOVE THIS — a creative reuse and community win!

This micro-library sits in Houston, Texas, outside local coffee house Black Hole — with a laundromat next door — near the University of St. Thomas and Houston’s Museum District.

(photo by me, Houston-based Unconsumptioneer, mollyblock) 

Earlier Unconsumption posts on creative new uses for pay phones and phone booths can be found here, and library-related items here. 

[thatdonna]

What a great idea!  Patrons of the coffee shop and the laundromat can borrow books, and anyone can take books they like, and drop off books for others.  I love creative new uses for things, and turning things we don't need into something useful!  If you find or have other ideas for creative reuse or sharing, let me know!   Hit the "Ask" button to contact me with suggestions.

This would be great for people who want to join the tiny house movement, but have books they don't know where to store, and for people seeking to adapt a minimalist lifestyle.
