ecosia does not have the shitty invasive AI, just fyi

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

today I’m at the point where where I almost wish that the USA would have a ‘cold’ civil war and the country could just break apart into 2 new completely separate countries— but now I can’t stop laughing because I keep trying to imagine wtf the alt right would name their new country. you know it would be some shit like “the New Confederate Trumpian Theocracy of America”

Remember when most people were in agreement that the world was becoming overpopulated and humanity’s impact on the planet was catastrophic and that maybe the simplest solution was if we just didn’t reproduce quite as much (because the powerful will never give up fossil fuel profits)

Then remember the huge uproar that actually overpopulation is suddenly a myth and this was somehow “eugenics” against poor people? And then remember how soon after we had article after article being released about the dangers of declining birth rates trying to cause a public panic? And then remember how they revoked roe v wade? And then remember them creating project 2025? And now they’re fighting to make voting less accessible to women. And the GOP has openly stated that they want to make it so contraceptives are not a federal right. And they are bribing the poorest demographic to give birth with a pathetic $5,000 because they know that there really are some people that desperate- forget the fact that if youre that desperate for $5,000, you definitely cannot afford to raise a child.

yeah. turns out “overpopulation is a myth and not dangerous at all” and “they just want to eradicate poor people.” Was billionaire propaganda. And we fell for it. Of course they want poors to procreate. we’re their feeding stock.

Women have always controlled the population. They know it, and they can’t stand that women hold something that powerful, and they’re going to do everything they can to try and steal that power for themselves.

Recently, I keep getting ads about “selling your eggs” and companies that “freeze your eggs for free” and idk call me a conspiracy theorist but with the whole government thing of trying to force women to pump out kids I don’t really trust any sort of company to be mass collecting peoples eggs.

I need to share something really concerning that's happening right now. Through someone involved in state environmental protection (I can't share more details, as they’re being threatened with immediate termination for discussing this), I'm told that the administration is quietly dissolving entire environmental departments.

Over the last week, they've been receiving notices about complete department shutdowns. When asked about what to do if they lose their jobs, they’ve been provided with a FAQ stating that they should see this as "an opportunity to leave a low-productivity job and pursue a high-productivity career." and that "The American Dream is to be a quality contributor for our nation" - as if protecting our environment isn't contributing to society.

People are being threatened with termination for even speaking about this outside of the office. They are being explicitly ordered not to “make political posts about the administration”

This should terrify you. we shouldn’t be here. We should never have gotten here. People should not have their freedom of speech threatened so the government can make changes without public knowledge or debate. This is so dystopian it could have come straight out of an early 2000’s YA novel.

Your Mortal- By Gaia Gillsaighe

Hi! My name is Ivory Sun’shyne Clarity Dove’s Journey and I have flowing golden hair like rays of summer sunshine (that's how I got my name) with warm honey highlights that reaches my mid-back and bright sapphire eyes like a cloudless summer sky and lots of people tell me I look like Taylor Swift (positive vibes to all of my Swifties!!).

I'm not related to Gandhi but I wish I was because he's such an inspiration for world peace! I’m a lightworker, but I also believe in essential oils. I have naturally bronzed skin because I don’t use toxic sunscreens. I'm also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I’m in the seventh year (I’m seventeen). I'm an empath (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly thrifted clothes. For example today I was wearing a long yellow sundress with lantern sleeves, a vintage sky-blue cardigan, amethyst earrings and birkenstocks. I never wear any makeup, any girl who does is an internalized misogynist. I was walking outside the greenhouses. It was sunny and bright, which I was really happy about. A lot of e-girls stared at me in their SHEIN clothes. I waved and manifested positivity at them.

"Hey Ivory!" shouted a voice. I looked up. It was... Neville Longbottom!!

"What's up Neville?" I asked cheerfully.

"Nothing much," he said quietly.

But then, I heard my friends calling me and I had to go away.

AN: Special thanks to my bestie @lovenlight (OMG sending you healing energy girl!) for helping me with the chapter. BTW negative people stop disrespecting my story! I don’t need your low vibrations!

——————————————————————

The next day I woke up in my bedroom. It was gloriously sunny again. I opened my natural linen curtains and did my morning gratitude journaling. My toxic roommate Pansy suddenly walked by giving off really low vibes. I had to send her love and light (even though she's clearly a narcissist who needs serious shadow work). I put on my yoga clothes - flowing white linen pants with flowers that I embroidered by hand, and a cropped tank-top. I never wear a bra, and I welcome the opportunity to educate anyone who brings it up about the health benefits. I brushed my teeth with activated charcoal paste and drank my morning ginger shot.

My friend, Stardust (AN: Emmaleigh this is you <3!) woke up then and grinned at me. She flipped her platinum blonde hair with rainbow streaks and opened her rainbow chakra eyes. She put on her "Be Kind" oversized shirt that we got at our last wellness retreat. I could tell she was hungover from too many kombuchas and acid at yesterday's full moon ceremony, but I'm not judging - we're all on our own healing journey.

"OMG, I saw you talking to Neville Longbottom yesterday!" she chimed excitedly.

"So?" I said, giggling while arranging my crystals in sacred geometry patterns.

"Do you like him?" she asked as we walked out of the Hufflepuff common room. (AN: We're in Hufflepuff now because that's literally the most positive house!)

"I don’t want to put a label on it!" I shouted, manifesting calm energy.

"Yeah right!" she said in a sing-song voice. Just then, Neville walked up to me.

"Hi," he said with his adorably shy energy that just needed the right healing frequency to blossom.

"Hi," I replied radiantly.

"Guess what," Neville said.

"What?" I asked.

"Well, there’s supposed to be a folk-music festival in Hogsmeade," he told me.

"Oh. My. Goddess!" I screamed. I love folk music. It’s literally so grounding.

“Well… do you want to go with me?” he asked

I gasped

—--------------------------------------------

AN: TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter contains mentions of processed sugar, dairy, and someone wearing polyester. Also sending protection crystals to the soul who called my story "cringe" - I can see your karmic blocks and I'm not afraid to write about them! 🔮✨

Chapter 3

On the day of the folk festival I put on a white cotton maxi dress that I naturally dyed with beetroot and turmeric. I braided locally sourced dried flowers into my hair and drew sigils on my skin with organic henna. It’s not cultural appropriation because I’m actually 1/16th Indian. I did my daily ten-step organic skincare routine. I drank an oatmilk matcha tea and was ready to go to the festival.

I went outside to meet Neville, but then Draco Malfoy walked up. His aura was literally SO dark grey (probably from all the refined sugar he eats), and I could sense childhood trauma in his root chakra.

"You're polluting the environment with microplastics with those synthetic robes," I informed him kindly while setting boundaries. "Also, I'm an empath and I can feel that you're really insecure about your father's love."

"Whatever," he said and left, but I could tell my words meant something. I found Neville waiting for me just outside of school grounds. We walked to the festival. On the way we held hands (but in an ethically non-monogamous way). We both microdosed ayahuasca. When we got there the lead singer was playing guitar and singing about Big Pharma. He was wearing cargo shorts made from hemp and I started crying because his voice literally spoke to my soul.

“I can feel such a spiritual connection with him!” I said aloud, pointing to the singer.

Suddenly Neville looked really triggered.

"I need to hold space for your healing journey right now," I told him compassionately, "But also, you need to honor my authentic self and my sexuality."

"Of course,” he said. “I shouldn't have blocked your divine feminine energy.”

The night went on really well, and I had a great time. So did Neville. We let the music consume us and danced primally. Just then, the shrooms kicked in, and I had the sudden urge to connect with nature. We began wandering away from the crowd, but instead of going back to Hogwarts, Neville started tripping and ran into… the forbidden forest!!

it’s working bro

thinking about that post saying that Trump is the candidate sent by god to be the president but to accelerate America's destruction rather than anything positive

[uglyteapot]

what is it even like being neurotypical and able bodied

[uglyteapot]

in american felons are not allowed to vote but they ARE allowed to run for president and potentially run the entire country

[uglyteapot]

once again thinking about the parallels between the 1920s and the current 20s. We’re entering a great depression, we all have depression, we’re obsessed with the occult, we’re dressing and dancing in a way that makes previous generations clutch their pearls, and we have rapidly evolving and colorful slang.

no one on instagram appreciated my Fourth Wing dice so here’s some Fourth Wing dice that I worked hard on

conservatives will claim that they aren’t racist and that racism isn’t a real issue, and then turn around cheer for people like this.

Rapid City hotel owner under fire for saying she won't rent to Native Americans

Great Sioux Nation Issues "Notice of Trespass" Against Owner of Hotel that Banned Native Americans

Connie Uhre is the 76-year-old owner of the Grand Gateway Hotel that posted on social media she would ban Native American from the property after a shooting took place in one of the hotel rooms in the early hours of March 19. Uhre wrote on Facebook: “Do [sic] to the killing that took place at the Grand Gateway Hotel on March 19, 2022 at 4 am, plus all the vandalism we have had since the Mayor and Police Department are working with the non-profit organization (Dark Money), we will no longer allow Native Americans on property, including Cheers.”

Five Sioux Tribes Serve Eviction Notice on Racist Rapid City Hotel Owners

Hoka Hey—it’s always a good day to tell racists to go away.

That banner was the public-facing version of the notice of trespass five tribal leaders—Crow Creek Chairman Peter Lengkeek, Oglala Lakota President Kevin Killer, Rosebud Sioux President Scott Herman, Cheyenne River Sioux Chairman Harold C. Frazier, and Standing Rock Sioux Chairwoman Janet Alkira—served the owners of the Grand Gateway Hotel yesterday:

…five tribal leaders signed a Notice of Trespass. Indicating the hotel has violated terms of a Treaty made with the Sioux in 1868 based on the location of the hotel, and the racist comments made that they say violate article one of the treaty.

“This is who we are as descendants of the 1851 and 1868 treaty,” says President Kevin Killer.

Herman says they’re instructing the hotel and its subsidiaries to vacate the premises, or be held liable, and they “service[ed] the Notice of Trespass today.”

The Great Sioux Nation says they’re willing to take the following actions needed to end racism on the treaty lands indefinitely[, i]ncluding boycotting Rapid City, pressuring the City Council to Revoke businesses Licenses, filing hate crime charges against the owner of the hotel and more [Jeffrey Lindblom, “Tribal Leaders Serve Notice of Trespass to Hotel Following Racist Comments, Asked to Vacate Property,” KOTA-TV, 2022.03.26].

Grand Gateway boss Nick Uhre isn’t smart enough to read his own state’s laws about impeachment and municipal government; he’ll be in way over his head if he has to start reading federal treaties with the sovereign Indian tribes. So he’d better find a lawyer who understands treaties, because the tribal leaders say in their notice of trespass that if the Uhres don’t remove their persons and any personal property they deem necessary from the Treaty Territory of the Great Sioux Nation immediately, the Great Sioux Nation will “institute legal proceedings to recover possession of said Premises which shall result in a declaratory and/or monetary judgment against you, including costs.”

Boy, Nick: it seems it would be a lot easier to be a polite guest on Indian treaty lands and accept Indian guests at your hotel.

going to the gym is just the boring adult version of getting taken to a playground. Like go burn some energy and have a snack and maybe you’ll be less cranky

[uglyteapot]

me: what if grey isn’t real. what if all grey’s are just colors that the human eye cannot perceive. what if we’re all just like a dog starring at a red apple, and seeing nothing but shades of brown and grey.

therapist: yes.. the shrimp colors. we’ve discussed this in length before.

"cis is a slur" i'm completely fine using it that way
