With Roe Overturned, How State Abortion Laws Are Changing

The New York Times is tracking abortion laws in each state following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULDN’T LITTER.

Please reblog to spread awareness :(

Something to make you smile

Gendry has Robert’s strength, Stannis’ stubbornness, Renly’s easy laugh. And though he doesn’t carry the name. He is a true Baratheon by blood.

Click here to support Rebuild-TX with Jim Mcingvale organized by Jim Mcingvale

Jim "Mattress Mack" Mcingvale has established Rebuild-TX, a grassroots effort that offers assistance to Texans who have been affected by flooding and other damages to their homes related to Hurricane Harvey. Rebuild-TX provides volunteers who will assist affected Texans in rebuilding their homes...

This guy is a living saint. Without being asked, he turned his furniture stores into shelters for people who were flooded out of their homes by Hurricane Harvey. His employees used his delivery trucks to drive through flooding neighborhoods, rescue people, and take them to the stores. He set up showers, gave people clothing, and allowed them to rest on his showroom furniture–and it’s not cheap stuff, either. He’s also been feeding them three meals a day. On his own dime!

When the city of Houston and the Red Cross finally organized enough to open up some official shelters, some of the people sheltering in Gallery Furniture stores moved there and Mack was able to bring even more hurricane evacuees into his stores to shelter. He’s also sheltering members of the National Guard who have arrived to help.

Now he’s collecting donations–cash, cleaning supplies, and volunteered time–to help people clean out their homes.

A petition is going around on change.org to make August 26 Mattress Mack Day in Houston. Frankly, I think they should name a street after him. This isn’t the first time Mack has stepped up to support his community–and even people outside his community. He sheltered Katrina victims in 2005. Almost every year he buys animals at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, which provides college scholarships to high school students. He gives and gives and gives, and has done so for the 35 years that he’s been doing business in Houston. Now he’s asking the community to dig deep and help him give a little more.

If you’ve been thinking about supporting the people in the Houston area, this would be an excellent place to give your time or money. I will definitely be making a donation to Mattress Mack, and I’ll probably stop by Gallery Furniture on my next trip back to Texas.

I totally understand if you can’t afford to donate, or if you just don’t wish to do so, but please reblog and share! I’d like to see him reach his goal.
