The Complexity of the Found Family Trope

At first glance, the term ‘family’ can conjure a very specific mental image. We picture, because we’ve been taught to picture, a traditional family structure: parents, children, siblings, cousins… Found Family, of course, cannot truly conform to that image — so why do we insist upon it doing so? In truth, “Found Family” is difficult to define. At its core, it is simply the group of friends a…

Explain Climate Change to Family and Friends!

Personalize the message. Connect climate change with individual values and world views. In addition to the environment, talk about Climate Change impacts on our health.

For many of us, things like planning for our own retirement feel overwhelming; it's no wonder so many people find it difficult to grapple with a slow-moving, long-range, collective problem like climate change. But that's all the more reason to share your knowledge and sense of urgency with others—and to help people understand why we need to take action now. Try these tips for talking about climate change:

Personalize the message. Connect climate change with individual values and world views. In addition to the environment, talk about impacts on public health and jobs, and especially about your hopes and fears for your family and friends.

Make it relatable. Put the facts in context with real-life comparisons to make them more meaningful. For example, if you are talking to someone who loves Florida beaches, you can tell them that due to sea level rise Miami is losing enough sand each year to cover nearly 46 football fields a foot deep.

Bring actions home. Make something big and distant understandable by focusing on local impacts and solutions in your community. See a list of suggestions.

Even easier? Share your favorite article from this issue with your friends and family. Many people will listen if we are respectful, find common ground, and speak from the heart.

On International Family Day, we are celebrating the unique bond of 'found family' that is central to the world of Dragon Age.

Family isn't just about blood; it's the people who stand by your side and who you choose to surround yourself with. Our companions stand with us in the face of darkspawn and demons, share in our victories and struggles, and make Thedas feel like home.

It’s International Asexuality Day today!! but more importantly I want to share my hc that the entire Strawhat crew is some form of ace (I’m big on them being demisexual bc I am and also the ✨Power of Friendship✨is real big with them).

For the breakdown:

Luffy: ace, like all the way (but not sex repulsed). Meat and adventure are the only things on his brain.

Zoro: most likely grey-ace; sometimes he feels it, more often not, but between protecting the crew and training for his dream, he’s got other things to care about.

Nami: could easily flip flop ace (sex repulsed) or demisexual. She knows how she looks and will use it to her advantage, but I think with her origin story, she would be incredibly careful on who she is vulnerable with.

Ussop: 100% demisexual. My man’s befriended one person as a kid and that’s who he’ll simp for the rest of his life. (It’s Kaya, I’m incredibly sappy for childhood friends to lovers)

Sanji: demisexual; for all his flirting ways, he wants a meaningful connection that could potentially last a lifetime. (I feel between the little moments of protecting the crew and watching each other’s backs, Zoro could easily become that lifelong connection)

Chopper: ace; he’s a baby and focused on being the best doctor. (Could change when he’s older bc sexuality is fluid, but he’s got years to go)

Robin: grey-ace; while her own feelings only pop up once in a blue moon, she definitely takes the chance to ask about the romantic/sexuality culture and it’s effects on society of whatever island they’re visiting when she can.

Franky: ace (sex positive); he’s always more interested in building ships/new gadgets or modifying his body, but he’s not against sharing a moment with someone he cares for. (Maybe Robin-Idk I can see them as an aunt and uncle to the younger Strawhats but Morticia and Gomez Addams style)

Brook: when he was alive, demisexual, but now, definitely ace. Even with his running panties gag, he doesn’t actually feel anything and does it more as a way to lighten tension or humanize himself in the eyes of those who might be afraid of a talking skeleton. (Brook’s thought process, “they can’t be screaming at me in terror if they’re berating me for being a pervert”)

Jinbe: grey-ace; back in the day he was more into it, but honestly, he’s got a crew to look out for, enemies to fight, and freedom to share with the world so who has the time or the energy to think about it.

The power of animation in its purest form. Happy international animation day to everyone (even if with a slight delay) 😅

Almost forgot to look at the tags in that Giordano post, I'm glad that Cardinals being higher than Archbishops was something you mentioned, and that I was remem that fact correctly :). And I love that Machete surpasses someone who thought him to be a "good for nothing". Go white boy go!

WHO RUN THE WORLD FUTURE? GIRLS

[internationaldayoffamilies]

What Are the Effects of Climate Change on Future Generations? 

While climate change affects everyone, those who have contributed the least to the crisis—children, those in poverty, and future generations—are the most affected.

Extreme temperatures leave many families living in poverty with less food, less clean water, lower incomes and worsening health.

Children’s immune systems are still developing, leaving their rapidly growing bodies more sensitive to disease and pollution.

Extreme events can destroy homes, schools, child care centers and infrastructure critical to children’s well-being.

Droughts and flooding can destroy crops and cut access to clean water.

The UN warns that many families will have to choose between starvation and migration.
