So Minnesotans showed the fuck up tonight (like we do) – thousands in the street protesting tr*mp’s latest executive disorders. And guess what happened? The old proverb “What if an emergency vehicle needs to get where it’s going” came to life, and the sea went silent and parted to allow it through (swiftly…literally the truck was going about as fast as, if not faster than, it would have been if there had been cars it needed to go around).

Please share this. This was a rare occurrence where an emergency vehicle needed to go through the route of a protest, when usually they have predetermined alternative routes, and it went completely fine. Also for the love of god, have more respect for firefighters/EMTs…they know how to do their jobs. They’re ready for anything, including working around protests.

So folks can stop using that tired old argument now (not that it was ever backed up by sources anyway).

It’s almost as though these protesters who are protesting for human rights are decent human people.

Danielle Nierenberg, President of Food Tank, shares a sustainability pro-tip in honor of Earth Day. Instead of wasting leftover pasta water by pouring it down the sink, you can save it, let it cool and use it to water your plants. The starchy H2O will give them a beneficial nutrient boost and help them grow. Just be sure to avoid using cooking water that has been salted or seasoned.

This also applies to leftover water from boiling spinach, potatoes, and hardboiled eggs, according to Reader’s Digest.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!

*PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST*

Thursday, October 25th  Hi everyone, I’m Gemma and I’m so sorry to ask this again so soon from my (please help me avoid eviction post) as I still desperately need help.

As many of you may know, I’ve been struggling these past few months, literally since the new year in January, because I’ve had my welfare benefits (Universal Credit and Housing Benefit) revoked under the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned and due to my mental illnesses, I am unable to find work despite my many applications. And if anyone has ever had their benefits sanctioned or capped, then you’ll understand how much of a struggle and death sentence it is.    

And at the moment my U.C benefit is under a “capped- sanction” and the £185 that I received today went towards paying off some of my utilities, tax and other bills, leaving me with nothing to help pay my electricity & heating or get groceries for this month. The photo above is how much I have until November 25th and I know that I have asked this a lot these past few months and all the help I have previously received has literally helped me from spiralling into more debt and helped me to eat and stay warm so far and I absolutely hate to ask for more help but I have no one else to turn to and government aid/food banks are unable to offer me anymore assistance.

If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life and, sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody has to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling. Thank you for your help 💖

Reproductive injustice is more than just abortion access.

-It’s the treatment of pregnant prisoners
-It’s the forced sterilization of women of colour and getting the paperwork signed by sneaking the paperwork into other forms while the person is in labour and medicated from that
-It’s the inability for white women to get sterilized at all when they ask repeatedly, even when it will kill them if they do not, even if they’re already sterile and the procedure would only remove pain, not the ability to give birth as a result
-It’s the inaccessibility to healthcare for low-income families
-It’s the inaccessibility to birth control for low-income people
-It’s the inaccessibility to comprehensive sex-ed
-It’s the likelihood that a woc will not receive pain medication of any kind while giving birth, or will receive it later in the delivery process than a white person
-It’s the doctor after doctor who will ignore what the pregnant person wants for their own care during the labour process, even in cases where the doctor decides something that is not medically necessary (No, not all c-sections are medically necessary, neither are all episiotomies)
-It’s the huge number of people who suffer from post birt trauma, who are treated so poorly by their doctors that they suffer actual PTSD symptoms from giving birth.

All of these are a part of reproductive injustice. They’re all real issues real people face daily. And they need to change.

Y’all should be paying attention to the midterms.

running for a senate seat in Texas is the zodaic killer himself ted cruz and new comer to the senate beto o rourke.

now lemme tell you about my man

Beto O’ Rourke

he’s a democrat, something texas desperately needs. He:

also notable: unlike cruz, beto would not have voted to confirm kavanaugh.

beto being elected would be huge for texas. as someone from there, lemme tell you, he’s someone the state sorely needs. texas is in desperate need of a democrat and Beto is our best bet. in recent polls, cruz was shown to be ahead, but not by much. cruz. cannot. win.

there are ways you can help! if you live in Texas, you can sign up to volunteer. you can volunteer to do things such as send texts, emails, knock on doors. typical campaign stuff.

if you don’t live in Texas, you can donate. you don’t have to live in the state to donate. donating is one of the best ways you can support him because it funds his campaign! as mentioned above, he doesn’t take PAC money. he is 100% grassroots campaign, funded by people, for people.

i’m going to reiterate this. any us citizen* can donate. any. doesn’t matter where you live in the united states. so, I urge. if you don’t live in texas, donate. the average donation amount is $35, but any amount will help.

*if you don’t live in the united states/aren’t a citizen, legally you cannot donate. i don’t make the rules guys.

if you can’t donate, please reblog this so others can see it. people can’t vote in midterms if they don’t know who their nominees are.

this midterm election is crucial. getting Beto into the senate is crucial. reblog or donate!

Man I’m not even from Texas but I love this guy!!!

Also?! Is a babe

Seriously! I’m no longer in Texas, but this guy had my vote. Every vote especially counts in Texas, where it’s so fucking huge.

I LOVE BETO. Fellow Texans, you really should vote for him. He is a good guy and would be good for us.

Bae-to

he is also the hottest thing to come out of Texas in 2018

It wrinkles my brain that Jupiter’s moon Europa has oceans that are sixty miles deep, while Earth’s oceans only reach seven miles deep at most. I’m willing to bet good money that there’s life in Europa’s oceans. Like five bucks. You hear me, NASA? I bet you five bucks that there’s life on Europa… Now that there’s money and reputation on the line, I bet they send a mission there real quick.

I have no idea when this was originally posted, but NASA is working on their Europa mission RIGHT NOW to look for alien life! But get this, they theorize that because of the depth, gravity, and composition of the oceans, any organisms that lived there would be waaay bigger than aquatic life on Earth. So far everything’s going well with regards to their Europa mission so they should have a spacecraft on its way to look for giant sea monsters in space in only a few years. (The planned date is in the early 2020s.)

Looks like my negotiations worked. You’re welcome, humanity.

I’ve never been gripped with such cold terror and pure delight in my LIFE
