PSA from Blobby. Something we should talk about more ❤️

Imagine this:

You just come into Heaven and you see all of the angels, some people, and God are there, waiting for you to come up. You’re all happy and excited because...Wow! They’re all waiting for you! But when you pay more attention, you see that, almost everyone, specially God, have dissapointed, angry, sad faces, but you just don’t understand why, so you ask them if you did something wrong, thinking about all of the “sins” that you commited in Earth. God moves foward until he’s a couple of inches from you, and he just... stares at you for a solid 5 minutes. Finally, he explodes, and yells at you “YOU LITTLE STUPID HUMAN!!!! WE ALL TRIED TO HELP YOU BOTH!!! WE LEFT ALL OF THE FREAKING SIGNALS SO YOU COULD SEE THAT YOU BOTH ARE IN _LOVE_ WITH EACH OTHER, AND HAD BEEN SINCE YOU WERE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!! BUT, NO! YOU IGNORE IT ALL, AND NOW... YOU ARE DEATH!!”.

You are just surprise, and you don’t understand what’s happening, until you think of it. They is still in Earth. You never told the truth to they. Now, you’re separated until they come to you.

“I-- I’m sorry... everyone. I’m sorry”, you say. Everyone just shakes their heads with a dissaprovement expression. “Hey! But, why me? You were all looking at me? Why?”

“Because you two are the first humans to have this situation. Usually, Guardian Angels select the partner of their human and, usually, humans agree... But you two... you two were sooo stubborn and afraid sooo many years that your Guardian Angels needed to ask for help to _us_. At one point, everyone took interest in your life and, later, so did God”, said an angel that has just come foward.

“Now I can’t do anything, so, thank you, everyone, but I guess I just have to wait here for my Love”, you say with a sad face.

Oh, God...

Excerpt from this press release from the Center for Biological Diversity:

Following the conclusion of last week’s White House Tribal Nations Summit, more than 60 conservation groups today called for the Biden administration to immediately relist the gray wolf and engage with Tribal nations on wolf management and protection.

During the summit, President Biden announced important new steps his administration is taking to better recognize Tribal sovereignty and protect the rights of Indigenous communities, including formally committing the Department of the Interior and 16 other agencies to protecting Tribal treaty rights in agency policymaking and regulatory processes.

Notably, the Biden administration released a memorandum of understanding on Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge, or ITEK, and federal decision making. The memorandum highlights a commitment to “ensuring that Federal agencies conduct regular, meaningful, and robust consultation with Tribal officials in the development of federal research, policies, and decisions, especially decisions that may affect Tribal Nations and the people they represent.”

Additionally, the memorandum acknowledges ITEK as “an important body of knowledge that contributes to the advancements of the United States and to our collective understanding of the natural world.”

Authored by the Global Indigenous Council in 2019, “The Wolf: A Treaty of Cultural and Environmental Survival” embodies ITEK. More than 700 Tribes and First Nations in the United States and Canada have signed the treaty and are calling for government-to-government consultation on gray wolf management.

Under the Trump administration, despite overwhelming Tribal and public opposition, endangered species protections were removed for gray wolves across the lower 48 states, resulting in the slaughter of 218 wolves in 60 hours in Wisconsin. And Montana and Idaho, where wolves were legislatively delisted in 2011, have recently enacted regulations allowing the killing of 85% and 90% of those states’ wolf populations, respectively.

Recently, a Tribal delegation met with Interior officials to explain the dire situation that gray wolves are facing and directly called for meaningful consultation, as well as prior and informed consent. These are required by previous executive orders and U.N. declarations. The delegation also called for the immediate relisting of gray wolves while consultation takes place.

The Wolf Treaty:

TRUE, I get really angry when they tell me “are you on your period?”, like, NO dumbshit, I’m not on my period is just that your stupidity makes me angry, and if I’m crying is because of life, but VERY RARELY because of period! So please, stop telling/asking us if we’re on our period every time we get angry.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Thinking about the time in fifth grade when we had sex ed and then literally ten minutes after we watched a video about the changes girls go through during puberty one of the girls in my class started crying (an unrelated incident that I don’t remember the cause of) and all of the boys circled around her and teased her and said “What’s the matter? Are you on your period? Are you bleeding?” Like this was probably the first time many of them learned what periods were and they took zero time to mock a girl in their class.

This girl was ten years old and she most likely hadn’t had her first period yet and yet she was mocked for the potential for having one. This is was it means to grow up female.

Judge Donna Scott Davenport oversees a juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, Tennessee, with a staggering history of jailing children. She said kids must face consequences, which rarely seem to apply to her or the other adults in charge.

This woman needs to be kicked off the bench and disbarred. Then, she must be prosecuted for abuse of power.

If you like Hawai'i because it's fucking beautiful and the waters are perfectly clear.

Then you should support the decolonization of Hawai'i and give it back to the indigenous peoples there because they are why it's so beautiful and the waters are perfectly clear.

And while we're at it support #Land Back because if we give authority to care for the indigenous people here on the main land, we can probably have a place that's that beautiful as well (assuming it's not too far gone yet).

Never Forget the Reign of Terror waged against Muslims (and by extension, Sikhs profiled as being Muslim) in the nearly two decades following 9/11.
