The opening line to something that MSU students (I think it’s the students, don’t quote me) are sending to Michigan’s Congress is “fuck your thoughts and prayers”. And, as a Christian, I agree with this line. Thoughts and prayers are great don’t get me wrong, but they need to come with actual, tangible change.

Your thoughts and prayers are not saving lives.

The Saddest Part of Climate Change

So, as I have (probably) stated, I live on a hill in Southern California, that is surrounded by more mountains and hills. Around this time, the tallest mountains used to be covered in a white layer of snow...

Used to be... It is December 19th as I write and post this, and there isn't a single drop of snow to be found. And if my memory serves me correctly, this is the second year that this has happened.

This is the sad thing that people don't realize about climate change. We end up losing such beautiful things.

The trees and flowers that once flourished, now brown and dead because of drought. The jungles and rainforests that produced life-giving oxygen for the planet, now chopped down for fickle reasons. The animals that use to thrive in their habitats, now becoming endangered or extinct. The rivers and lakes that used to sustain a wonderful ecosystem, now dried up and/or polluted.

All of this damage, we're responsible for it. All of these beautiful things, we have ruined them. Yet we continue to deny it, again and again and again.

And that to me is the saddest part about climate change. We have the power to do something. We can change it. But we don't want to. Even as the world crumbles around us in retaliation for all the damage that we have done to it. We do nothing.

This team has accomplished real and positive change to the world's oceans, and their YouTube channel has less than 400k subscribers?

Not only do they share their successes but also share their failures, and they are learning from them and improving all the time.

Their videos and their story are amazing. They show the horrific amount of garbage they are cleaning up. They show us that when humans put their minds together, what was thought to be hopeless and impossible becomes just the opposite.

Please subscribe to this channel. They deserve more subscribers and views than any other YouTuber that is putting their lives on display or doing stupid shit for views.

You know, that’s all they wanna do is kill us and the majority of the population sees it fit that we are destroyed as human beings, who are just in crisis. I asked a friend the other day, what he thought about the mentally ill with a knife or a gun and the police approaching them. His answer to me pissed me off. He said they should just kill them because they have a gun or knife. He said hey should be locked away in insane asylums. I told him that police officers are supposed to be trained and if they do when they take the oath to protect and serve that’s what they should do. We hold a knife or a gun because we are scared. Our delusional minds just want what everyone else wants and that’s safety. We as people who suffer from schizophrenia need to support efforts to change the law to hold officers accountable for killing a life that never had a chance.

I've been thinking along similar lines. Massive boycots, tax evasion, etc. It's a start.

I found this on Pinterest.

After reading this I wondered why all girls aren’t lesbians? Proves that sexuality isn’t a choice

The way my mother talks about girls that have more “developed bodies” is DISGUSTING. The young girl she is speaking about is in the 5TH GRADE but ofc bc they was playing “ hide in go get it” in school that means she will be too..

LET GIRLS EXIST WITHOUT BEING SLUT SHAMED

LET GIRLS HAVE OPPOSITE GENDER FRIENDS WITH OUT LOOKING DOWN ON THEM

GIRLS ARE NOT FAST BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE DEVELOPED BODIES 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This is probably as polar opposite to my normal posts as possible, but I just need to get this out so skip to your hearts content.

Since the age of 12 I have been asking doctors for help, saying that I am in pain and that something is wrong. That is over a decade of being dismissed, told its anxiety or just flat out in my head. Today I had surgery for something that is typically an in office procedure, getting an iud. Why surgery? Because at 26 I finally found out i had numerous polyps and they had to get rid of those first. Now that could have been all, but no. In the surgery they found I also had numerous fibroid tumors that needed removal as well. These and related conditions pretty much entirely explain everything I have ever complained about to doctors, every thing I have BEGGED for help with. All it took was a doctor listening to me, reading my chart, recommending something that had a possibility to help and trying. And call me crazy but I thought that's why we had doctors to begin with. I shouldn't be crying tears of joy at 26 because they found tumors in me but that's what happens in a broken medical system. And I live in a state where my rights are protected and enshrined in our state constitution and where access to that care is supposed to be top tier. Especially in a medical school town. And yet I still have had to spend over half my life fighting tooth and nail for what should be the base standard of care.

Pride events are extremely safe. Generally, people look out for each other, help where they can, especially in the weed department, and are very adamant about always making sure they have your full consent for everything. Yes, including fist bumps

Are there outliers? yes, absolutely, but they are that. Outliers!

but, boy oh boy, the second you leave pride...

better hide that pride flag, walk in groups of 5 or more, preferably with half of the group being able to defend themselves, and no, 1 bear is not enough protection!

but hey, at least we have a transgender crosswalk no- what? spray painted within minutes of the barriers being removed? oh. hm.

Well, erm, at least 5 out of the 7 large political groups sent representatives! Last year there were only 3!

two of them were very obviously avoiding questions and just talked about tolerance without even saying gay or trans?

AND the communist representative this year was a bit out of it, and barely anyone understood what she said, including the people who know the marxist manifesto by heart?

oh.

At least the petition to no longer allow taxi drivers and landlords to kick out/ discriminate against homosexual and trans people got enough votes, which means they'll have to vote on it.

Sometimes I find myself wondering a few things:

"Why does science have to be politicized?" In science, we are taught that we are to be as unbiased as possible (at least, good scientists are taught this). So why do people dismiss or abuse the information and studies we have dedicated our lives to?

"Why are people so resistant to having to make a few changes for the greater good?" I can think of many things in life that are inconvenient or a pain to do, yet we do them because we know there are consequences if we don't. So why do people throw such a big tantrum about it?

"Why do people never listen to our warnings until it's too late?" COVID was predicted to occur more than ten years ago, there were warning signs, and scientists that were dedicated to researching the virus warned others about it, but nobody listened. Funding for the research and vaccination creation was pulled, now look what has happened. Climate Change is no different.

"What will it take for people to take climate change seriously?"
