Reblog to bring fairy godpossum blessings upon your followers.

He is a god of frontiers.

He is born again in every child who turns their eyes toward the stars, toward the sea, toward the horizon, and he grows with them.  He is young and old at the same time, all ages and all things, and always looking outward.

Windows are his.  Portholes.  External cameras.  He is not a god of surveillance, but he is a god of seeing, of the endless need to behold the wonders of the cosmos, of the world around us.  He only wants to look.  He has no desire to settle, or to damage, or to claim.

When first a maritime explorer donned a diving helmet, Yuri was there to egg them on, cajoling and encouraging, begging them to let him loose on new sights and new experience.  And when humanity set their skills toward space, Yuri was on the first satellite out, waiting for the moment when his faithful would join him, when they would see.

He was there with Laika when the heat grew too great, when her breathing grew too labored, and he did what good gods have always done, and held her close for so long as he was needed.  He looks now in her honor, as he looks in the honor of all those who have reached, whether of their own volition or at another’s.  She was not his by choice, but she was his at the end, and he is a god of his word.

He only hopes that you can have the chance to see.

He hopes you will keep your eyes open, and take him with you when you go.

Girl Scout Cookie Time!

You can buy cookies online from any troop with a page set up.  People bought so many cookies from troop 6000 (who is based out of a homeless shelter in NYC) that is broke the counter on the website.

Here’s six troops from high poverty areas that may struggle to reach their goals. Individual troops list on their page what they’re doing with funds. for many of these its simple things like badges or craft supplies. Get yourself some cookies.

troop 168 Sabra Grande, Puerto Rico 

 Troop 3559 Chinlee, Az (Navajo nation)

 Troop 31897 Meadow Bridge, West Virginia 

Troop 70115 Rena Lara, Mississippi 

 Troop9626 Kykotsmovi Village, AZ  -Hopi Nation

Troop 30349 Darien, GA 

You can also just donate cookies on there and they’ll be distributed to the local community. (I work at food pantry here and clients are always excited to see cookies on the shelves)

You can look up your local troop by zip code on https://www.girlscouts.org/   If they’re similarly struggling to raise funds, reblog and add ‘em on to the chain.

PROJECT 2025: WHAT IS IT AND WHAT CAN I DO? AN POST WITH LINKS AND INFORMATION.

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS PROJECT 2025? I KEEP HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT IT.

At this point - you've heard of it. And you're probably trying to understand what exactly it is. How does it affect you? Your American friends and family? What does it all mean?

PROJECT 2025 is a Conservative Playbook to essentially take over the American government and reshape life as Americans know it. Conservatives refer to it as a "comprehensive transition plan" to take place during the first 180 days of presidency. It is a 900-page document [of which I read] and can generally explained as complete and utter religious bullshit and agenda.

It is best summarized by the subreddit community r/Defeat_Project_2025 : "Project 2025 is a plan by The Heritage Foundation to reshape the US into an authoritarian theocracy, bring about religious tyranny. It threatens the freedom and liberty we fought for and vowed to defend. They plan to ban abortion, cut LGBTQ protections, reverse climate policy, environmental regulation and more, endangering our future. HF inserted policies and staff going back to Reagan. Trump accepted 64% of their "Mandate for Leadership" plan - proof, which Project 2025 builds off. 70 Heritage Foundation Alumni served in his administration or transition team."

HEY, THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS REALLY SCARY. WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT?

Once again, we turn to our friends in r/Defeat_Project_2025 for a rather terrifying list:

Use religion to shape policy

Fire 50k federal workers, hire loyalists

Direct the DOJ to investigate enemies

Hamstring the FBI, reduce autonomy

Dismantle the DHS

Use National Guard for law enforcement

Military recruiters in secondary schools

Make children take a military aptitude test

Military forces assigned to the border

Defense funds for undocumented camps

Harder to get asylum

Gut the EPA

Rollback climate change protections

Axe 3 US Department of Energy offices

Eliminate the Department of Education

Eliminate public funding of PBS and NPR

Eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion measures

Replace equality measures with "anti-white racism" policies

Outlaw porn, equate it with LGBTQ

Register teachers, librarians providing "porn" as sex offenders

Close telecom, tech firms that spread "porn"

Affirming a Trans child's gender becomes abuse

Throw Trans folk out of the military

Exclude "gender ideology" from public schools

Lock in rigid gender roles at birth

Decry single moms & gay marriage

Try to ban abortion & contraception

Bust all public sector unions

President will control the FCC & FTC

Raise political contribution limits

Hamstring the Federal Election Commission

Bolster bogus voter fraud claims

Insane, huh.

WHAT CAN I DO?

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Now, more than ever, your vote is needed.

YOU CAN VISIT THE DEFEAT PROJECT 2025 WEBSITE HERE.

YOU CAN JOIN THE DISCORD AND GET CONNECTED HERE.

YOU CAN CHECK OUT A LIST OF MAJOR RESOURCES FROM THE SUBREDDIT HERE.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: YOU CAN SPEAK UP. YOUR VOICE IS A POWERFUL WEAPON. TALK TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO VOTE BLUE - TO DO THEIR RESEARCH AND UNDERSTAND THAT PROJECT 2025 WILL AFFECT EVERYONE - NOT JUST QUEER PEOPLE.

My least favorite things about anti- UBI discourse is always the techbros whining that "nobody is going to work anymore! People will just watch Netflix all day!" and I have 2 responses:

1) Who the fuck cares. Who the fuck cares what people do with their time! That's kind of the fucking point!

2) People aren't going to stop laboring. Housework (look, it's right there in the word!) will still need to be done. So will maintenance on our homes and personal spaces. Children will still need carers, as will the elderly and disabled. There are millions of examples of ~work~ that we do all the time, uncompensated, that won't suddenly stop because we aren't forced to sell our labor to provide corporation's profits.

I'm not surprised that what is traditionally women's work is invisible to these dipshits, but it never fails to anger me.

Anyway. Join the IWW.
