Yesss!

tumblr tuesday: big aims

Sometimes it’s all uphill. The road is tough, the journey long. It’s raining, you’re tired, and you’ve also run out of milk. You huff a sigh and settle down to a screen flickering with the edges of the day ahead. Some days are just like this. But we get there, we do. Sometimes simply by the power of pure, dull-headed doggedness. What will today be? A game that’s been played unaltered for centuries? A territory with arbitrary lines separating it from the other territories? A plant spiraling through the cosmos? No matter, because you still have Stuff To Do ™: summits to scale, levels to beat, goals to meet. We all have our Big Games. Every day. What is your Big Game right now? Whatever your today holds, here is some nonsense encouragement to go with inspirational images made by your esteemed colleagues here on The Internet:

DON’T SCROLL PAST THIS

for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, it’s the season where that’s normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of São Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.

Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they can’t breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.

Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they don’t see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:

THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and it’s being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Don’t let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future — if we have one.

PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!

side note: not to sound bitter or ungrateful but also like what’s up with Europe… y’all exploited South America for centuries but just because you “aren’t seeing results” you stop helping altogether?? if you really wanted to help you wouldn’t stop because you think you aren’t helping lol

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

Coming Out As Asexual

Natalie here, reporting that yep, there’s almost always enough asks in our inbox to throw together one long frankenpost about coming out.  As near as I can tell, the advice I need to give on this topic falls into three broad subcategories.  1. Do I need to come out in the first place, and what’s the right time to come out?  2. How do I go about coming out to [person/group]?  3. What do I do if [person/group] reacts badly?  So I’m going to address all three of those points in one comprehensive post (with a few specific points from various asks thrown in).  If you’ve asked anything about coming out and have not had it answered yet, this is your answer!

Cut is for (absurd because I talk a lot whoops) length, and also for the fact that point #3 comes with a trigger warning for anti-ace sentiment.

Ways to support Ukraine 🇺🇦

More than 500,000 people have already left Ukraine due to the invasion by the Russian Federation. The European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management estimates that roughly 18 million Ukrainians will be affected by the conflict in humanitarian terms, with 7 million internally displaced and 4 million seeking refuge elsewhere. To help those still in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian refugees, we’ve compiled this list of resources.

HelpUkraineWin.org has a collection of vetted and trusted resources, charities, and organizations to help Ukraine.

Some additional ways to donate:

Vostok SOS provides immediate evacuation support.

Malteser International provides essentials for Ukrainian refugees.
