here's the thing.

a young woman suddenly saddled with raising her younger sibling who ultimately has to accept that she isn't up to the task and it'd be better for her sibling to live in a stable and loving home with a family friend, leading to a bittersweet ending where the siblings remain in contact and still love each other, but must accept living apart at least for the time being, could be an interesting and compelling character.

but that character isn't nani pelekai.

Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.

Maintaining the biodiversity of sheep is not just important for knitters and spinners, but for the health of the environment. Essentially, a sheep functions like a carbon sequestration system. Atmospheric carbon makes up 50 percent of wool's weight, and, unlike synthetic fabrics, wool is naturally biodegradable. When disposed of, wool acts like a fertilizer, slowly releasing valuable nutrients and carbon back into the soil. Wool fixed carbon in the topsoil rather than releasing it into the atmosphere. This process can help regenerate pastures, which sheep will graze. And sheep can help answer the problem of how to avoid far-flung fiber supply chains. Because sheep do well in such an extraordinary range of terrains, wool is a natural choice for people interested in rebuilding local systems of cloth manufacture. Certain breeds are more suited to certain atmospheric and geologic conditions than others, so preserving diversity also means preserving the geographic range in which sheep can flourish.

Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.

Please donate to help us recover from a fire.

Hey guys. I’m Case, I have gone by many names and worn many hats on here, caseJackal, hi im case, Jason Iscariot, AskKarkatVoice, briefly Broadway Karkat 2, and recently a fundraising coordinator for the Kenosha Theater Restoration Project.

My building caught fire earlier this week. This is the Kenosha Theatre, a 2000+ seat theater building that my apartment is situated above. On Thursday, a fire started in the kitchen of the apartment across from me. The hall and soon my apartment quickly filled with smoke. It was too thick to leave through, and I ended up being stuck in my apartment as I called 911. After waiting a few minutes, I had to punch out the screen screwed to the outside of my window in order to climb out.

Everyone in the building is fine. Everyone’s pets are fine. But we have fire damage, water damage, smoke damage, and some doors and windows and other things broken because of the fire rescue.

Personally, I’ve had a pretty bad traumatic history with house fires. It’s hard to go back into my apartment with the residual smoke and ash getting to me. My last experience was a massive perspective shift, and after 10 years, going through it again is a lot to process, especially with everything else I’ve been dealing with this past year.

Since this time last year, I’ve been sexually assaulted, I’ve been nearly stranded in a country on the other side of the planet, I’ve have had accounts w my bank info broken into, I’ve had all of my work computers and devices die at some point and had to pay to replace them, with some help. I’ve faced letters that I’m getting kicked off of my healthcare, and power disconnect notices. It’s been a lot to juggle, and I’m very grateful for all the help my friends have given me. But im incredibly exhausted still, and this is yet another setback.

The theater lobby, pictured above, was restored thanks to the fundraising efforts predominantly of my incredible friend spoony, who also lives here. Over the past few years, we’ve been able to restore the lobby’s plaster and original paint job, and redid the drainage above it, but we didn’t expect a firehose worth of water to come through and cause so much of our work to be undone.

We have fire insurance, but our deductible is very high and we don’t know how much they will be paying for.

I have a gofundme linked, that further explains the situation. If you can contribute anything, if you can spread the word, I would appreciate this immensely.

Thanks, everyone.

the israeli government offers huge incentives for jews to move to israel — free healthcare, college tuition, tax benefits, rental assistance, free ulpan (immersive hebrew lessons) and of course — citizenship. for zionists, moving to israel is viewed as a beautiful thing, being able to go back to the ‘homeland’ a holy return — the phrase for it “making aliyah” or “to make aliyah” literally means to ascend — but it’s settlement. it’s government incentives to settle the land to give israel more power, more leverage, more future soldiers for the idf.

it's crucial that you untie "special interest" from "expertise". "it's true just trust me bro" doesn't have any extra weight when you add "I know because it's my special interest". you are not immune from falling for misinformation, and you are not immune from sharing misinformation. not to mention the fact that "amount of knowledge" isn't even a requirement for something being classified as a special interest lol!
