- “Survivors Are So Sensitive” (via meggannn, superherotoranse) (via serenitymonkala) (via thatgirlannabagelhead) (via communityandresistance) (via crunkfeministcollective, asdfjlaskjdflksjdflk)
There’s already a Change.org petition against the passing of Amendment One, which banned same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships in North Carolina. These things actually tend to be pretty damn effective.
Let’s see what the power of Tumblr can do! I know there’s at least a million Tumblr users who are against this sort of harmful discrimination and bigotry.
Sign the petition and reblog to spread the word, please!
The number of signatures has already nearly tripled in just half an hour! Keep up the momentum, increase it, make change happen! Sign it now!
this guy… (Taken with instagram)
Meet my good friend Zachary. I have known him since he was in kindergarten. Now he is one of the sweetest, funniest, most compassionate, brave, and badass tweens I know. And I know a lot of tweens.
There are not a lot of kids out there like him. He is a champ. Panda idolizes him. He is so sweet to her. He is an awesome role model.
Well, here’s the deal:
Zachary’s rights are at risk because Zachary lives in North Carolina with his mom Michelle and his other mom Melissa.
Take a minute. Look at that kid. Look at him real good. He is not a threat to you or anyone. He is the opposite. He is a shining light. He is beautiful. He deserves what we all deserve.
Equally.
I beg of you people of North Carolina get out and vote NO on Amendment 1. Even if you don’t vote for anything else. Please help protect the families.
Please help protect my bud.
Thanks.
Houston: Doughnut City
The term Doughnut City is used to describe a phenomenon that affects the physical shape of some cities of the North American Sun Belt. It consists of the concentration of urban activity on the ring road (where the newest and most advanced generation of housing estates and office parks are located) and the parallel physical disappearance of all that remains inside (the interior is affected by an accelerated process of obsolescence that leads to the demolition of a multitude of buildings). Viewed from a European perspective, the Doughnut City is a phenomenon that goes against nature. If in the cities of the Old Continent proximity to the center means an added value, in the Doughnut City quite the reverse is true: the most eligible urban areas are on the final periphery.
