Israel is trying to erase symbols meaning and use them as israeli signs- dont let them

The yellow ribbon is the emblem used for bladder cancer and sarcoma awareness.

It has never been associated with Israel, dont let them erase the meaning of it

Happy Transgender Awareness Week!

(Nov. 13 to 19)

Don't put someone down because they’re "faking" a mental illness/mental disorder or physical disorder. I haven't been medically diagnosed because my parents refused to get me diagnosed. So, I've had to do my own diagnosis. I know what I've diagnosed myself with, and I've done 4 months - 3 years of research. No one wants to have tics, no one wants to have c-ptsd, no one wants bpd (borderline personality disorder) , no one wants did (dissociative identity disorder), no one wants autism, no one wants add/adhd(attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyper disorder), no one wants ocd (obsessive compulsive disorder), no one wants to be neurodivergent. So dont accuse us of faking cause this could LITTERALY cause us to die. I 6 even tell you the amount of times if dislocated my fingers of dislocated my shoulder or how many times I've had ISS bc of my tics. It's not even my fault, but I've literally been expelled because of a tic. Or how many times I've dealt with a split, and i almost had to repeat a grade because i simply didn't remember. Even if you self diagnose, just do your research. Cause even if you do self diagnose its not faking.

Why is the World's Largest Cruise Ship Called a 'Pollution Giant'?

A truth that took me eight years to accept

Something that I think others should know, I'm trying to convey a lot of mixed emotions into words so others don't feel as alone as I did

This post is by absolutely no means planned to stay up for long but mainly to get these thoughts out of my head because I truly believe I am not alone and it took me eight years to realize that.

I struggled with hating the color of my skin for a long time, I grew up in America, I lived a very small portion of my life in Mexico.

But the point is I have lived in the United States for almost my whole life, and with that I watched and consumed media that was seen only from one perspective.

Around my pre teen and teen years I educated myself a lot In culture, and in the movements that were happening and are still happening right now like blm, and the LGBT, feminism, organizations, mental health, almost everything that I could get my hands on. Because I wanted to be able to be as educated as possible, I heard about representation and the need that there was for it.

However I never thought I would find myself being part of the group that lacked representation. Around the time I was growing up when I was a kid I saw movies like the princess and the frog and pocahontas and I became obsessed with those movies, wanna know why? It wasn't because of the plot but because I could see people that didn't look like me but close enough right? Growing up and consuming all this media I didn't see people like me on screen, and I hated myself for it, I hated the way I looked, I hated my culture, and my language, I pretty much rejected who I was because of the views of the people around me

( I grew up in Texas and with a family that they themselves were racist towards themselves)

Watching wakanda forever and seeing tenoch play the role of namor, seeing the scenes that were made so well, seeing encanto come out and the truth around family, seeing the truth of colonization from the wakanda film and many other films and series that did not portray my people as just drug dealers.

Made something In me change, it made me realize how long I had spent hating myself, for something that was never wrong to begin with. Being able to look at myself in the mirror for the first time and not degrade myself for the color of my skin, being able to speak my language and be comfortable with it.

Being able to realize that I love my culture and where I come from but that I still have a lot to unlearn and a lot to heal, to finally be able to see myself represented and realize how much I truly needed to see representation of my people and show that I can make it in life as an actor, seeing people like me be famous rich and be able to achieve my dreams made me have hope that I can do the same because I saw others that could. I saw them in news papers, in magazines, in articles, as toys and seeing people like them.

I think a big thing for me to add is that while I saw other movies and shows with representation, for whatever reason it was this one movie, this one actor that changed everything and I see this As a huge thing because it truly shows how one person can make a huge change even if it doesn't seem very big

And while all of this is true I feel sadness because I wish I could go back to my younger self and tell that little boy that he didn't need to stop playing in the sun and that no I did not need to look up how to make my skin lighter and that no clothes did not look bad on me because of my skin tone.

I choose to share this and post it because if even one person identifys with one of the things I've said even if for me this is very embarrassing to admit as well as being extremely vulnerable, realizes that there was never anything wrong with them, then it's worth it to me. Because I am healing of years of internalized racism and colorism and if I can reach just one person to not go the same path I went it'll be worth it.

This is your daily reminder to not ignore that gut feeling and instead, 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒕.

I'm regards to my post of a Prothonotary Warbler I recently made a post on Instagram (@introvertedswimmer_photography) where I talked about this endangered species. Here's what I had to say:

Love these cute little Prothonotary Warblers. Despite them being an endangered species under Canada's Species at Risk Act and Ontario's Endangered Species Act, I have seen this bird multiple time in my over 10 years birding career. As someone who always looks forward to seeing this adorable bird yearly, I cannot imagine spring birding without it. Habitat destruction and the draining of the forested swamps is resulting in habitat loss and the decline in these birds. I am calling everyone to help to revive habitats for these beautiful cute birds to prevent them from going extinct and becoming just a memory. Please spread the message and talk to people about this habitat destruction.

it’s okay to want your dream life, to create your heaven here on earth. after all, we are going to be aware of some sensory experience? why not make it something we believe is nice. we are just a character. this is just a dream. a dream our formless awareness creates.

just do not get attached to it. do not get too involved. be present and observe. none of it is real.

important

I have something very very important to share. Please pay attention. It won’t take long.

The other day I was scrolling through YouTube shorts.

I found a video of a plus size woman, lip syncing to a trending song. I liked the video, and out of curiosity went to the comments.

Most of the comments were absolutely horrible.

“You’re disgusting”

“Just go on a diet already”

“Kill yourself”

“Stop posting already”

“What the hell is this”

I was so upset. This woman, just trying to live her life freely, trying to do something she was passionate about, being bullied and made fun of. 

I was the only one who said anything to stand up for her.

No one else cared.

To make matters worse, I continued scrolling for a while, and I found a woman who lip synced to the same audio. It was essentially the same video. 

The difference?

One was plus size.

One was skinny.

And when I went to the comments, there were amazing comments.

Glorious praise.

“Oh my god, you’re so pretty”!

“I wish I could look like you”

“Ur so talented! Keep going”

“I just subbed, ur incredible”

I scrolled. 

Not one hate comment.

See, here’s the thing.

People ( after the devastating George Floyd incident ) began to realize that  prioritizing the “Black Lives Matter” movement was vital, and that the crimes pushed upon coloured people were wrong.

BLM was essentially  a campaign encouraging people to treat others with kindness and respect, no matter how they looked.

This campaign changed lots of things worldwide, making the world a better place. Not perfect, do note, but better. Improved. 

It was incredible, really, considering coloured people used to be seen as a disgrace, and were seen as criminals.

So why shame people who are bigger? On how they look?

Coloured people can’t just change their skin.

I mean technically, they can, but they shouldn’t have to. They’re beautiful the way they are.

So why should bigger people be forced into feeling ugly? Forced into thinking that they have to change?

They’re beautiful.

As is any human being.

I believe that if some people realized this, maybe we could make a change.

I’m sick of hearing jokes about obesity in school hallways.

I’m horrified by how many people are scared to become larger because there’s some notion in their head that they’d be ugly.

I hate how many plus size people hate their bodies and wished they were skinny.

It’s horrible and wrong, and it needs to end. 

Please consider re-blogging this so we can get the word out.

Thank you.

hi hi i'm sorry that this might sound harsh or rude but i wanted to tell you that i came across a post with Ni-ki smut on it. It was an ot7 post of enha from i think a fairly new account. I sent the person an ask anonymously and AS POLITE AS POSSIBLE in which i asked them if they could take down that post, but i haven't gotten a reply or something and neither have they taken down the post or removed Ni-Ki from it. At first I thought the person would be like 'sike!' or something in his part but i found out that it was ACTUAL smut. It's truly disgusting and dehumanizing for this to happen, but i also noticed that how there were no comments on the fact they sexualized niki like that :(( im sure that they got removed or something. I sent this to a few other accounts too, who also took some action against it. It would be great if you reply to this. I'm sorry this got too long, that's it and i love you :)).

(here's the post's link) https://www.tumblr.com/yookiluvr/740174618546061312/so-enhypen-legal-line-being-dominated-by-the?source=share

hey anonnie! i actually came across the post earlier, but i didn't read it when i found out niki was there and have reported it three times (on accident but idc). i also sent them a nice ask asking them to stop posting smut about him and explained why its weird so ill give it a couple of days and if they keep posting or dont delete the post/his part then im gonna report their account and you guys should too! theres a slight chance they didn't know he's still not legal so thats why we should be nice to them for now (never thought id be civil about niki sexualisers but i am a changed person) so please dont be rude to them UNLESS they dont acknowledge their mistake and don't take it down. if they do, its still bad but at least they would've deleted it so give it like 3-4 days and if its still there, we can mass report:)

Hello. This is very different to what I usually post but something has come to my attention.

Videos of cats being tortured have been going viral on the internet in China and the people making these videos are not behind bars and are living their best lives. This is because animal abuse is not illegal in China. The police in China have been alerted of this but have done nothing about it. Several big Chinese celebrities have been doxxed for speaking up and condemning the culprits.

The torture videos are very easy to find so I don't recommend trying to find them but if you do, do so at your own risk.

If you want to help make animal abuse illegal in China, email Chinese legislators, sign petitions to stop the distribution of these videos and blog justice to these innocent cats, and donate to places dedicated to helping stray cats.

Here is a petition you can go sign:

There is a Podcaster who spoke about this case and I recommend you look at her show notes for sources/info on this situation.

Disclaimer: there is a graphic section in the show notes so if you're going to look through it please be careful and look at the graphic section at your own risk.
