PLEASE READ!!! IMPORTANT!!
Hi everyone! I usually don’t post about things like this as I try to keep this blog light-hearted and comfy and a place to escape the negativity of the real world. But this is really important and I want to spread awareness. I’m hoping most of you have heard of the Willow Project and have taken a step to get involved. If not, I’ll try to summarize it, but for more information I’d definitely google it or go to Tik Tok where people are making videos to raise awareness and spread information. Basically, the Willow project is a Oil Drilling project in Alaska. The project would dismantle the air, food and water quality there. If the project is approved, it would produce about 600 million barrels of oil over 30 years. It is a carbon bomb. Our planet is already suffering so much and the more we can do to help save it, the better. So I beg of you, please help us get this project denied.
Please use this link. Use your voice. Save our planet. Do your part. Please.

TW // Violence and Police Brutality.
Protesters in Atlanta Georgia are being threatened on bogus charges by the state.
For the past 2+ years, protesters in Atlanta Georgia have been protesting and camping out in the Weelaunee Forest, Atlanta's largest remaining green space. With so little of these vast spaces left, and more being taken, it is so important to save what we can.
The Atlanta Police Foundation chose the Weelaunee Forest to establish a massive training complex which would include fake city like buildings for Police training, which is why the project has been dubbed "Cop City". This training facility would no doubt be used to increase the militarization of the Police, and add to the harassment and brutalization both black communities and protesters face when trying to live and exercise their rights.
The facility would be built adjacent to a majority Black, working class community that was not only promised the forest for trails and park space, but would surely be subject to even more policing instead of a Third Space* they can use as a community.
The facility would desecrate 87 acres of land, spanning over 381 acres, and costing around $90 million dollars that could have gone back into community projects and care instead of further the subjugation of the working class.
Police have been extremely violent towards the dubbed "Forest Defenders", raiding the forest multiple times to shoot pepper balls at nonviolent protesters and also destroying shelters, water/food storage, and even purposely destroy Jewish religious sites, including a Sukkah that was built for Sukkot and was destroyed by police in a raid 2 months after, along with a large Menorah which "disappeared". The forest camps has become an important religious site for Jewish people in and around Atlanta, as more than 60+ Jewish People have traveled to the forest for Shabbat, with hundreds more joining the live stream for Shabbat.
The forest is not just important for nearby Black and Jewish communities, the Defenders adding shelters, cafeterias, and even a small stage venue in the forest in an effort to Squat the forest has provided local homeless communities with a warm place to eat and shelter. The forest has transformed into a safe space for the community as Defenders educate each other and the Atlanta communities on first aid, cultural differences, leftism and anarchism in practice, and more.
Following violent interactions with Police, protesters have responded by burning down construction equipment (with no construction workers nearby), and throwing rocks at Cops who attempted to get close to harass the protesters. When it comes to the safety of our planet and communities, property is replaceable.
However, a life is not. On January 18th, 2023, a nonbinary anarchist eco activist, who was knowledgeable as a street medic and worked tirelessly as a forest defender, was shot and killed by Georgia State Troopers during another raid on the forest. Their name was Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán.
Police claimed Tortuguita shot first and injured a trooper, which the media picked up and began to circulate. However, multiple autopsies have confirmed not only did Tortuguita have no gunpowder residue on their hands, but Tortuguita was shot while on their knees, hands in the hair, surrendering to Police. Autopsies also concluded Tortuguita was hit with at least 57 gunshot wounds across their entire body, showing Tortuguita was executed by a police fire squad.
Police body camera footage also showed a Cop admitting that the Troopers had "fucked up their own guy", which authorities of course dismissed and refuse to participate in proving their innocence that they're so sure of.
In response to this, protesters took to the streets and burned a cop car, leading to police arresting 40+ activists. Police also arrested, threatened, and intimidated anyone who was peacefully discussing and sharing information about Tortuguita's murder on the streets of Atlanta, attempting to silence anyone who was even peacefully raising awareness.
Atlanta Police also conducted a random raid of a legally operating Bail Fund based in Atlanta, The Atlanta Solidarity Funds. The raid came as the Atlanta Solidarity Funds was legally raising money and awareness to help with Bail and Legal Defense, as protesters who were arrested peacefully were being charged with Domestic Terrorism, and now RICO/Racketeering charges. The Atlanta Police claim that the Bail Fund was laundering money, but other Bail Funds are calling this out as an obvious act of intimidation since absolutely no stories or proof has been released in conjuction with these financial charges.
There's a lot more, this has been going on for years, but one thing is certain. If we do not stop this here, they will tear the forests in your cities down and continue to militarize the police, furthering the oppression of the working class and continuing to make Black and marginalized communities lives hell.
Please read up on what has been happening in Atlanta because there's way more than the bits I talked about here. The Forest Defenders have been through so fucking much, and they still have a lengthy battle. But you cannot kill an idea. You can follow the Atlanta Solidarity Fund and the Forest Defenders on Social Media to keep up with them.
PLEASE boycott when possible, or be extremely vocal, towards the companies backing cop city. PLEASE tell them they have Blood on their hands.
Please continue to raise awareness, and follow Cop City closely. Please Read and Share.

On #EarthDay and every day, we make an effort to acknowledge that we stand on land that is part of the unceded, ancestral homeland of the Lenape (Delaware) people. We are committed to addressing exclusions and erasures of Indigenous peoples, and confronting the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism in our work. By actively seeking collaborators, experience and perspectives from Indigenous communities, we work to ensure that our programming, resources and the ongoing community fostered at the Museum is inclusive of Native people.
Indigenous communities across the country have endured the catastrophic impacts of climate change but the situation has an even longer history rooted in the legacies of European colonialism. The artworks shown here are just a few examples of the varied and complex worldviews expressed by  Indigenous artists impacted by environmental destruction.
These objects are part of “Climate in Crisis: Environmental Change in the Indigenous Americas,” on view in the Arts of the Americas Galleries on the fifth floor. The exhibit follows the effects of glacial melt, droughts, wildfires, overexploitation of resources, displacement, and extreme violence, as well as the work being done by Indigenous community organizers to counter the climate crisis and protect the planet.

It's interesting how all the conservatives and the right-wingers are working on the term woke, a real culture of excitement is being spun around the term.
Tumblr media
What kind of bullshit has anyone of the woke people prevented the conservatives and right-wingers from their twisted world view or disturbed them in their daily propaganda?
Does woke interfere with anyone's shopping or daily life?
You get upset about it but climate change being a real threat to future generations is not an issue to get upset about!
Yes, there are criticisms of woke but these are minor compared to the real challenges facing societies.
mod
And what is that supposed to be?
Awake, Not Woke
A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressive Ideology
Mindfulness, woke and kindness is not an ideology but a realisation from the deep love for people and their form in societies to contribute together to the happiness of all.
And should be the basis of business ethics.
And this is the crux of the matter: in the context of globalisation, woke would be a nightmare for many global corporations and also for their shareholders. They have to eliminate injustice in the form of exploitation and environmental destruction at all levels, which would be good for the world, but not in the sense of the highly praised profit maximisation.
This is the real background to the uproar that is being staged against wokeness.
The Christian religion has proven throughout its history that it is anti-woke. Witch burnings, slavery, persecution of those who think differently, absolute obedience to dictatorships (see the Russian Orthodox Church), hatred of everything foreign - the entire Bible Belt in the USA can tell you a thing or two about it. All conquest in the name of the church, religious wars and so on and so forth.
So stop eating chalk, you haven't even begun to understand the principle of humanity that Jesus preached.
It's actually religious abuse and unfortunately that counts for everyone who sees humanity as a weakness. It is not the strongest who survive but the most co-operative.
Wokeness
What does "woke" mean? - Meaning and origin
"Woke" - being aware of discrimination
"Woke", also known as "wokeness", comes from the English and means "awake" or "alert". Today, the term is used colloquially to describe attentiveness (vigilance) or sensitivity towards people from minorities and moments of discrimination. The wokeness movement focuses primarily on issues such as racism, sexism and similar forms of discrimination. However, the term is also often used to describe supposedly general structural and political grievances.
Origin of the term "woke"
The term originated in the mid-20th century in the African-American movement as an expression of awareness of social or racial oppression. One of the earliest uses can be found in a 1962 article by author William Melvin Kelley, which lists African-American slang expressions and is about white beatniks appropriating black slang. The term was taken up again more strongly with the start of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2013, which brought it back into the public consciousness.
Since June 2017, the word can be found in the Oxford English Dictionary . The OED has since described the term "woke" as follows:
Originally: well informed, up to date. - Now mainly: vigilant against racial or social discrimination and injustice; frequent use: "to remain vigilant"
Criticism of the woke movement
Despite the need for "wokeness" in society, the term "woke" does not only have positive connotations. Especially in conservative circles, it is also used in a derogatory way, criticising the woke movement itself. The main criticism is usually that "woke" people are too sensitive. At the same time, however, this also automatically raises the question of whether those expressing criticism are not themselves too insensitive or too insensitive, which sometimes leads to the formation of camps. The main criticism is that
1. being woke is only based on criticism
A frequent criticism of the woke movement is that being woke is often only based on criticising others for not being woke enough. This was also the case for Barack Obama when he said in an interview with the New York Times in 2019 that the activism of young people today is based on pillorying other people. This creates a black-and-white view that lacks room for dialogue and education. This is a problem because all people have more or less faults. Excessive polarisation is a pattern that is particularly evident in social media.
2. premature development of a cancel culture
Another consequence of a culture of discussion that would only consist of criticism would be a hasty development into a cancel culture, in which certain people or groups would be completely shunned in order to deprive them of a platform. The fear is that people or groups who otherwise do good things will be cancelled without giving them space for dialogue and development. Quirks would be penalised too much.
3. political correctness
The term "woke" is also controversially discussed in connection with "political correctness", which actually aims to strengthen the interests of minorities, especially through the appropriate use of language, and thus avoid discrimination. It is criticised for creating new norms that are sometimes perceived as censorship. Critics fear that freedom of expression will be undermined by a kind of moralism. However, even the freedom to address discrimination is criticised.
Most recently, the new Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, spoke of "woke indoctrination in schools", which must be tackled. The term indoctrination describes vehement, one-sided, distorted teaching that does not allow for discussion, which is a central method of propaganda, especially in dictatorships. The extent to which the two terms can be connected at all remains questionable.
4 Woke washing and woke capitalism
We speak of woke washing and woke capitalism when brands, institutions or even individuals speak out against discrimination or grievances, but at the same time act in the opposite way or not at all. The criticism here is that companies in particular create a progressive self-image that is nevertheless subordinated to ruthless profit maximisation behind the woke façade. The image of a sustainable and equal corporate culture thus becomes a marketing strategy instead of an authentic identity.
Here is a simple definition of the rights for example (more of a fight call than a definition probably didn't pay attention to the definitions at school)
"Woke": definition and meaning
"Woke" means to be awake and committed and is a left-wing ideological term of struggle. Under the guise of "anti-discrimination" and the demand for "social justice", our liberal social order based on Christian bourgeois values is to be fought against at all levels and replaced by a socialist order.
Swiss political activists with a clear enemy image
And now a short definition from everyone who gets to the point (has probably understood what a definition is without propaganda and call to arms)
Wokeness
Definition: What is "wokeness"?
Wokeness is the attitude and movement of alertness and vigilance. It is the act of paying attention to what is happening in the world and wanting to remove anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, violence, environmental destruction, factory farming and other evils by raising one's voice in the mass media and on social media, on the streets and in the squares, in schools, universities and companies. In English, "to be woke" means "to be vigilant" against injustices of all kinds.

Did you know that the ocean produces at least 50% of our planet’s oxygen? World Oceans Day serves us as a reminder of the importance of the oceans in our daily lives. They are the planet's lungs, a major source of food and medicine, and an essential component of the biosphere. Let’s come together for sustainable efforts and stopping plastic pollution in order to save the oceans.
With 90% of big fish populations depleted, and 50% of coral reefs destroyed, we are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished. To protect and preserve the ocean and all it sustains, we must create a new balance, rooted in true understanding of the ocean and how humanity relates to it. We must build a connection to the ocean that is inclusive, innovative, and informed by lessons from the past.
Today we raise awareness about impact of human actions on the ocean by developing a worldwide movement for the ocean.
Today we renew our commitment to protect the worlds oceans, for this generation and for those to come.
This year’s United Nations World Oceans Day, on 8 June 2022, will highlight the theme Revitalization: Collective Action for the Ocean.
“The ocean connects, sustains, and supports us all. Yet its health is at a tipping point and so is the well-being of all that depends on it. As the past years have shown us, we need to work together to create a new balance with the ocean that no longer depletes its bounty but instead restores its vibrancy and brings it new life.”

As I clear out what is no longer needed from my life.. I am making space for the new.
Been too busy for too long… things to do just to survive (work to pay for rent and food), have left little time for what I really want to do.
Been aiming for a more minimalistic lifestyle, for a few years now. I’ll tell you, having less things clears out some headspace. And now, finally giving myself time to relax before starting a new chapter in my life, I can step back and take a better look at the bigger picture.
What I really want to do are things that will positively impact big parts of the Earth. After some eye-opening events, I see now that it is more important than just about anything else. I have a lot of ideas, and it all begins with writing them down. That is the first step to manifesting. Or second, if you count thinking of it as step 1. Could also dream about it, meditate on it, but those are all mental. So writing it is the first physical step.
The beauty of it is, nothing has to be any certain way. Not at all. Everything will turn out exactly as it’s supposed to be. So why stress about it? There is only so much we can control.. our own actions. That’s it. Everything else is up to the Universe, which is much bigger than us, and works in magical unknown ways. Connecting more deeply with it, it shows me exactly what I am supposed to do. It’s up to me, but I am supposed to do these things, to keep the energy flowing better.
A big shift has happened. A lot is changing.
Let us connect with our Earth. May we apologize for any disrespect, and promise to do our part to take better care of it. Earth needs our love and our attention. Disgusting acts of greed must stop destroying our planet. Let us appreciate her beauty. 
Tumblr media
I love the Earth. It is my home. Our home. Has been for many lifetimes. Let’s keep them coming, for a long time. Let’s turn this story around, in regard to how much humans have hurt the Earth. Let’s leave the oceans alone. Let’s find a way to use garbage as energy fuel. I live close to a landfill that has been polluting our air. They’ve been doing it all wrong. We need big changes.
That’s where my focus has been shifting. We’ve got a lot of work to do. Follow my journey.

CANADA STOP KILLING THE ORCAS
Orcas are an endangered species, and now their habitat and way of life will be heavily affected if the Trans Mountain pipeline is built right through their environment. The Canadian government still plans on building the pipeline and even plans on finishing it in the third quarter of this year ( sometime around July-September )
Here is a link to the petition to tell the Canadian government to choose orcas, not oil :
