WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT!??!

shout out to beckendorf

Queer 👏 people 👏 are 👏 not 👏 all 👏 fucking 👏 activists 👏

Stop quizzing us on queer history and asking us questions we aren’t qualified to answer about the world and about politics and about our identities

Stop trying to back us into a corner so you can justify your discrimination on the basis that we don’t know what we’re talking about or can’t “defend” ourselves to you

Stop treating every queer person that stands up and says “I want to be treated like a person” as if they’re an activist

Cut that bullshit out

Marginalised people just want to exist and be happy

I don’t know everything, and that doesn’t make me undeserving of your respect or my human rights you fucker

I don’t even owe you the stuff I do know- I still am entitled to basic fucking respect

TLDR; Queer people shouldn’t have to be historians or scientists for you to not be a fucking dick

FOR THE GLOBAL DEMI'S AND/OR LEGACIES

New Rome Headcanon: Diversity

-Because children of the gods from all over the world live out their lives in New Rome, the medley of cultures and languages is so dense it’s nearly impossible. Eid al-Fitr is celebrated almost the same week as the Feast of Fortuna. Diwali sometimes collides with Halloween. You turn from the Via Principia onto the Rue de Fleur. Sometimes, you might return home from a Valentine’s Day celebration done by children of Venus only to see a Mardi Gras parade coming through the city. New Rome is the biggest cultural medley in the world, and no one knows it but a bunch of demigods. 

-For the first time in history, African American demigods march shoulder to shoulder with Jewish legacies, with Hispanic soldiers, and they’re all true Roman legionnaires. 

-Pictures of POC manifestations of the gods are put up on Temple Hill.

-New Rome is known as a safe spot for immigrants (illegal or not, they don’t care, because most demigods know what it’s like to have been hunted and homeless, and these are people who need help), but of course the Mist conceals the more otherworldly aspects of the camp. 

-Somewhere along the line, a praetor had to establish an exchange system between USD, euros, pesos, drachma, denarii, and dozens of other currencies from around the globe, because there was no freaking way this was going to work otherwise. 

-I LOVE THIS HEADCANON SO FREAKING MUCH OKAY

Footage emerged from Gazan journalist Nooh Al-Shagboni of the heroes of the Civil Defense rescuing a number of children, women, and youth from under the rubble of a home bombed by the IOF in Gaza.

A 37-day-old baby named Salam (peace), born during the first days of the war amidst the bombing, was rescued after a four-hour-long operation, reborn from under the rubble after all thought she had been martyred.

Salam was the firstborn child of her mother and father, who both ascended to martyrdom as a result of the bombing.

Last night I couldn’t sleep, so I drew this Forest Goddess. It’s just a little drawing on my part, but I did it in the hope it would raise some awareness with regards to an issue that weighs on my mind every day: Climate Change. The scientific consensus, and, indeed, the empirical situation we live in, shows us that climate change is real, and happening real fast - yet so many people still don’t believe it, or don’t think that it affects them. Personally, I am f*cking terrified by it.

Just last June in Europe we witnessed the ‘hottest month ever to be recorded on Earth’. It’s not an hyperbole: the heatwave that invested Italy, France and Spain was 2-3°C hotter than any other heatwave we have on record: this is a huge difference in temperature as it shows practically how much of an impact human made climate change is having on the planet. A group of World Weather Attribution scientists used computer models to show that a similar heatwave would have been averagely 4°C cooler just 100 years ago and reported that Climate Change makes this sort of heatwaves 5 times more likely to happen. These are real life changes we are seeing, and it’s only going to get worse.

Another piece of news caught my eye recently - various articles published by different international media outlets highlighting how the monthly deforestation of the Brasilian Amazon basin has gone up 88.4% compared with a year ago. This prompted me to read a bit more about the impact of forests on the global ecosystem and found out that they’re actually pretty important. On the WWC website your can read all about the beneficial effects of forests, but the bottom line is that by reducing forest loss, we can reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change.

However, in the last 50 years about a fifth of the forest has been cut and burned in Brasil. Scientists have warned that if another fifth of the Amazon basin is cut, it will initiate the feedback loop known as ‘dieback’: the forest will spontaneously start to dry out and burn regardless any attempt of human intervention. This would be disastrous for many reasons, but especially because the Amazon forest helps create a large parte of the Earth’s oxygen (what we breathe), clean fresh water and stores a huge amount of carbon. If the Amazon disappeared, it would release a huge ‘carbon bomb’ into the atmosphere, which would obliterate the basin of water and stop absorbing the sun radiation. This of course would be catastrophic for life on Earth as we know it.

One can easily get discouraged and depressed by reading all this despairing data and seeing how things are quickly deteriorating on the planet, however there are some things we can do in our daily life and to accelerate change! We can

- boycott brands that don’t have a deforestation-free supply chain

- plant trees and care about our immediate environment

- contact and pressure our governments to push climate change to the top of their agenda (get in touch with your local representatives or take part to grassroots movements and demonstrations, there are many options out there!)

- read, read, READ! Information is key. When the sky comes down on us it won’t do to say ‘Oh, I didn’t know about that’

camp swap thing

An idea I had about how Jason would have handled Thalia dying and her tree being poisoned if he’d been Greek. Enjoy!

Jason tucks his knees to his chest, fingers picking at the scab from where he cut his leg racing Annabeth. He scoots backwards, shifting his weight until the bark digs into his back. The press of the roots on either side of him is a gentle weight that let’s him breath. Camp is gone, somewhere on the other side of the hill that he can’t see or hear. Here it’s only him, his thoughts, and his sister.

“Luke said I did a good job today.” Jason’s muttered words break the silence of the hill. “He said I could be the best swordsman in camp soon. I just need to get a little bigger.” He glances at his arms, studying the faint white scars that stand out against the tanned skin. “I think you’d be proud of me. I don’t let Annabeth get into fights but I don’t let anyone be mean to her either.”

He waits, his words drifting off into the rustle of the wind through the branches. He holds his breath, listening for a creak or a groan or anything. He waits until his lungs burn as much as his eyes do before sucking in a shaky breath.

Jason stares at the dirt beneath his shoes, at the scattered needles and pinecones, at the empty hill stretched out before him.

“I miss you Thalia. I- I hate being in that cabin. I hate being alone. Please- I- I don’t want to go back there.” He blinks, pushing back on the pain that ripples up through his chest, bubbling into something that settles over his eyes and in his lungs.

The first soft, broken sob breaks from him and he clamps down on it. Luke’s voice echoes in his head, the voice that says that Thalia is gone, the voice that tells him it’s the god’s fault.

The tragedy of hazbin hotel is that truly this show desperately wants 20 filler episodes per season that have a contained plot where the characters learn about morality that have like very little bearing on the overarching plot. Anyway death to Amazon
