The Amazon Rainforest is under a massive threat. I know you've heard this a million times, but this is different. There is a piece of legislation that will decimate the rights of Indigenous people of Brazil, who have been protecting the rainforest. It's unfathomably bad. It has majority support. And they're voting tomorrow. As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
The thing you can do—and I know this sounds overly simple—is sign this petition—and tell your friends to do the same: SIGN HERE.
As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
Again, this bill has majority support. You may be wondering, why will a petition signed by people who don't live in Brazil make any difference? Because it will give those opposing it political air cover. It will show the world is with them.
But we need a LOT of signatures.
Please do this simple act and spread the word.
I learnt my post has too much information that can trigger abuse survivors. I've decided to make a new post with less information about my abuse but with the hope to get all the support i can get!
incase you're just seeing, my name is Mariam, a 24y/o lesbian, abused by her grandma and dad just after they found out I'm gay. I'm looking to move out, as I still live with my abusers.
if you can, please click here to read my detailed post (as said in the first paragraph, the post is sensitive and triggering). if you can't read, please understand I'm being tormented and need to move out as quick as possible and i need your help to do that. please buy me a coffee using the link below. also, you can get a drawing in return(on request). i also hope you won't read and ignore this as a boost/reblog from you will go a long way in reaching people/person(s) who might help. thank you for reading! HAPPY PRIDE!
Happy Pride 2023, everyone!!! ⚔️🌈
we all must get weirder and more queer. i am completely serious and genuine and this is urgent. please get weirder and gayer now. if you see me acting weird and gay mind your business a little bit.
In the Pokemon world, if you go through the right paperwork and registration and tests, you can have one of your Pokemon certified as a Service Pokemon.
Guide Furfrou and Growlithe lead their blind Trainers to the local PokeMart and back.
Trained Aipom help to grab items from high shelves for their wheelchair-bound Trainers.
Those who suffer from PTSD or anxiety disorders have their first ever Pokemon certified as Service Pokemon and their Pokeballs get modified so that they can come out easily whenever they sense their Trainer isn’t doing well and they calm their Trainer back to manageable levels.
And since they’re certified, they have legal protection to be out of their Pokeball anywhere as long as it’s safe (i.e. no Ponyta in fireworks factories or Onix on planes).
Autistic people are like, “yeah I love following rules” and then proceed to rip apart the gender binary
While musing on that post about Minecraft and the constant presence of portals and themes of escape, I found that I had come to an entirely different conclusion from the same information.
When I picture those unknown, long-gone ancient inhabitants of the Minecraft world that the game implies to have once populated the overworld, I don't get a sense of fear and the need to escape. Mostly, I get a sense of hunger and hubris.
Think about it. As the player, why do you build portals? Why do you go through them? Why do you burrow to the bottom of the world? Is it to get away from the creatures of the overworld, when the monsters and dangers you encounter once you leave that grassy surface are far worse? No. Every time you dig deeper into the universe, it becomes more dangerous. When you make that step, you make it from a need and longing to know what lies beyond. Assuming that those ancient people were beings like the player, why would they have been any different?
Why else would you plunge into fire or into void, if not to find what lies on the other side at any cost?
And yet, the dangers that the ancients found on the other side of every door they built were likely their undoing: netherrack and lava creep like a fungus out from the ruined remains of nether portals. Those who traveled to the End never came back to tell the tale, judging from the lack of loot and the cobwebs in the stronghold. And the Deep Dark..... Is that unknown portal in those ruined cities really an escape route from the skulk and the Warden, or yet another door greedily opened to a new plane, accidentally freeing new horrors that leech out and consume? Like the dwarves of Moria, did they delve too greedily and too deep?
As the player, if you could open that portal too, would it be to escape the Warden? Or would you brave the dark in spite of the Warden, just for the chance to see what lies beyond?
What calls to you? Is it fear of the world above, or is it the siren song of the abyss, drawing you ever deeper?
I think the game speaks for itself, after all:
gonna be honest i think some of yall see things like certain sexualities and genders as discourse topics instead of like. qualities a real living human being has.
Big day for weird little towns
Ways I’ve found Queer People show affection:
-🥺🥺🥺
-hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-*incomprehensible list of emojis*
-SKSDJFHIWUEHFIUWHEIUHDSIUDHFIUSDHFUODH SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
-I would die for you
-*sends picture of rock* it’s you
-bitch I’ll fight you
-hey do you wanna feel REALLY gay? *sends picture of hot person*
-*sends gif of two animals hugging* it’s us
-*sends gif of two animals fighting* it’s us
-hey wanna hear something cursed? Too late you’re hearing it anyway
the queer community was formed by people who were deemed strange and abnormal in society based on them not conforming to expectations about sexuality & gender. there are no specific boundaries bc this isn't a club. a cishet guy that likes wearing dresses who fights side by side with us for true liberation, is 100x more queer than a millionaire gay man who's besties with companies that sell us watered down versions of our own culture for profit during pride while donating to homophobic lawmakers every other month.
some of you may've heard about that fancy "bionic reading" typefont thats supposed to be easier for neurodivergent people to read (if you're unfamiliar, it bolds the first few letters of each word to make it easier to follow)
well guess what, its locked behind a $500 a month API to write in because fuck you!
introducing, Not Bionic Reading! it is literally just the bionic reading typefont but for free. god bless neocities
anyone who can, pls reblog!
“Nondisabled people using amenities originally designed for disabled people does nothing but improve our lives”
transmasc opinions on jkr are extremely valuable actually, specifically transmascs from the UK. her "save the poor lost autistic girls!!!" bullshit is targeting transmascs specifically. transmascs are literally the intended targets of the laws she is working to get put in place, laws that will and already have killed transmascs. boost UK transmascs voices and stop telling them they aren't the ones being impacted by this shit.
werewolves are the best because they can be about womanhood or transness or morality or self-image or any type of Otherness. alienation. being afraid of yourself. society being afraid of you. finding your true self. becoming free.
My rat rescue posted these pics of these two adoptees that have clearly become besties ❤️🥺
please stop treating the word neurodivergent like it means the overlap between autism and adhd
Aang, on the phone with Sokka: he’s in the kitchen again…
Zuko, reading a recipe: “beat three eggs.” In what? Hand to hand combat?
Sokka: GET. HIM. OUT.
disney employees are starting a full week of walkouts leading to their big walkout on march 22nd, 2022. they’ve asked people to not use disney products during this week. (no disney+, hulu, espn, playing games, watching videos, reviewing/blogging about any of their IP, no going to the parks). this is a targeted and timed action you can concretely participate in.
they’re asking people to also support by using those hashtags and to sign their petition in solidarity.

No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Don’t let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you don’t want to do.
Y'all this candle I got recently is super cool like all the melted wax goes into the center and after a while it makes a new candle out of the old wax???? Super neat too, so far none of the wax has dripped on the outside, it's fantastic
Falling back into my undertale phase, no regrets. I recently finished a huge project for school and haven't felt like drawing much so have this slightly old test sketch I did of Chara (along with a personal headcanon of mine). . . . #art #artistoninstagram #undertale #undertalefanart #undertalechara #undertalecharadreemurr #charaundertale #charaundertalefanart #undertalefrisk #friskundertale https://www.instagram.com/p/CWM6ETHLQ_a/?utm_medium=tumblr
Current version of Roisin from my upcoming project Esterhedge! I’m really proud of her current design, they bring me a lot of happiness. They kinda remind me of beta Amity from TOH design wise. Older concepts avaliable on my artfol and Instagram (same name on both). . . . #artconcept #art #artistsoninstagram #esterhedgewebcomic #conceptart #artconcept
MORRISSSSSSSS MY BOY I LOVE YOU
A close up of the charm concepts I posted on my artfol a bit earlier today. I’ve got the magic system mostly figured out and a good portion of the plot worked out. Most of the concept stuff will be posted over there eventually, so check that out if that kind of stuff interests you. . . . #art #artwork #conceptart #artconcept #esterhedgewebcomic
