#TechStandsWithPP: A Message From Tumblr’s CEO And Planned Parenthood’s President

#TechStandsWithPP: A message from Tumblr’s CEO and Planned Parenthood’s president

When Planned Parenthood was founded a century ago, it was illegal to even hand out information about birth control. Thanks to generations of brave women and men who formed secret societies, challenged unjust laws, and started Planned Parenthood health centers in their own towns, we’ve come a long way since. Millions of people, regardless of income or insurance coverage, now have access to birth control, cancer screenings, and STI testing and treatment. Each year, Planned Parenthood proudly provides health information to nearly 70 million people online and 1 million people in classrooms and communities across the country. Today, America is at a 30-year low in unintended pregnancy and a historic low in teen pregnancy.

But all of that progress is a reminder of how much women and men in America now stand to lose. Extreme politicians at every level of government are doing everything they can to block millions of people from coming to Planned Parenthood, deny access to affordable health care, and roll back women’s rights over their own bodies. We are facing a national health disaster, especially in our most vulnerable communities.

That’s why we’re calling on the tech industry to join Tumblr in standing with Planned Parenthood and standing up for access to health care.

A 100-year-old health care provider and the platform powering 335 million blogs may seem like an unlikely pair. But over the last few years, Tumblr and Planned Parenthood have teamed up to provide information and organize communities in support of reproductive rights. We’re proud of all we’ve accomplished together and with overwhelming support from the Tumblr community.

Technology has become instrumental in the fight for fairness and equality across a range of issues. It has the power to influence public debate, mobilize communities, and — most importantly — offer creative solutions to help people receive better care, no matter where they live or who they are. Finally, the tech industry owes its success to the brilliant people it employs and the communities it serves — and we cannot take their health for granted.

It won’t be easy, but doing nothing isn’t an option when lives are at stake. We need to work together to break down barriers to care and information for the millions of people desperate to take ownership of their sexual and reproductive health, and tackle disparities in health care access and outcomes.

Now is the time to be vocal, visible, and active in your support of Planned Parenthood — starting with the #TechStandsWithPP hashtag to share stories about how Planned Parenthood has touched your life, or the life of anyone you know. Call on your co-workers and peers to do the same.

In health care, education, and nearly every industry, we’re doing things that would have been unthinkable a century ago. Think of all we can achieve together in the decades to come if we combine the creativity, innovation, and energy of the tech community with Planned Parenthood’s commitment to helping people everywhere — no matter what.

who’s even in super junior

so i’ve met a lot of new ELFs and people who want to get more into super junior, so i thought i’d give moonshoesnikki and anyone else a brief run-through of who’s actually in super junior:

official members:

park jungsoo | leeteuk: the best leader in the entire kpop industry hands down. complete attention whore, MC of the year, sacrifices for his members all the time. pretty much keeps SJ together at all times. they only made him the leader at first bc he’s the oldest (83line… old man) but he’s the best leader anyone could ask for.

kim heechul | heechul: look up 4D in the dictionary and you’ll find his photo next to it. resident cross-dresser, AB-style, ?!?!? potato. don’t cross kim heechul: he may not be able to feed himself or furnish his own apartment, but he is the official defender of zhou mi, henry, and han geng.

han geng | hankyung: fondly known as “gege” or “boss geng” he’s the other half of the infamous ship, hanchul. he sucks at korean (but his korean is infinitely better than chul’s chinese) but he’s amazingly talented at… pretty much everything: dancing, singing, holding babies, etc. sm being the shitty company they are nearly killed him so he filed for contract termination, but now he’s taking over china and owning at life.

kim jongwoon | yesung: his stage name means something like “sex voice” and yes. yes it is. vocalist, 1/3 of KRY, and the weird member (tbh they’re all weird). loves turtles, has small hands, loves touching philtrums. just got back from the military. selca king.

kim youngwoon | kangin: the appa of the group. can be super ferocious but give him a baby and he’s a complete freaking marshmallow. absolutely precious, had some scandals back in the day but forget about those. he came back from the military more handsome and dad-like and it’s great.

shin donghee | shindong: currently in the military (sobs) but our resident variety king / mood-maker / jokester / amazing boy. he and hyuk choreograph tons (see: shirt) and organize SJ’s stages. pretty much amazing at everything and deserves tons of love and support.

lee sungmin | sungmin: the first member to get married! also currently enlisted. aegyo king, cutest bunny, and the vital support for SJ. he’s almost right in the middle and supports his hyungs and dongsaengs in amazing ways. but his bedtime is like 11pm and anytime after that he’s asleep.

lee hyukjae | eunhyuk: self-proclaimed world anchovy and jewel boy. eunhyuk is in charge of dancing, rapping, and going from sexy to cute in 0.5 seconds. he served as vice-leader while leeteuk was enlisted and did an amazing job. is the butt of every single prank SJ has ever played.

zhou mi | jo mi: absolute perfect sunshiney angel. literally embodies the phrase “perfect cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure.” amazingly fabulous, speaks chinese and korean flawlessly, probably spends his entire paycheck on clothes. long legs, giant heart, perfect boy. literally flawless.

lee donghae | donghae: you can’t hate donghae no matter how hard you try. forever age B. also a fish. with abs?? the snuggliest, lovingest, most childish member of SJ who loves the members with all of his heart. sits in his room and cries because he loves ELF so much. super greasy, but also writes a ton of lyrics for SJ songs (again, see shirt).

choi siwon | siwon: $$$$$$$ but in all seriousness, he may be rich and handsome but he’s literally the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. very religious, very skinshippy, verrrrrry derpy. also the resident horse: masi.

kim ryeowook | ryeowook: tiny, sassy, and vocal. the only one who has successfully proven he can cook. yells for the managers 24/7. collects dongsaengs like choi minho collects hyungs. supports all the members by going to their activities. his shoelifts are like 3 inches high. but he kills vocally.

kim kibum | kibum: disappeared during sorry sorry to go to acting. to some, he’s an urban legend. to others, he’s key from shinee. logs onto twitter maaaaaaybe once a year. might be living in the sm basement. no clue.

cho kyuhyun | kyuhyun: evil maknae, snarky af, but with the ability to become amazingly cute. starcraft champion, resident alcoholic, power vocal. currently eating his way around the world with shim changmin from dbsk. almost died in a car accident in 2007, but he survived and now sings on like every OST ever with his amazing caramel macchiato voice.

henry lau | henry: canadian, literally good at everything. plays violin like a boss, speaks like 23094023 languages, could 10/10 succeed in america. absolute perfect mochi, totally should marry amber, never showers. there’s literally nothing he can’t do except exercise proper hygiene.

unofficial members:

prince manager: SJ’s most attractive manager, now sadly off the market. often referred to as the 16th member.

gunhee: heechul’s “hairdresser” who spends maybe half of his time making fun of heechul in his sns posts. also perfect.

shim changmin: spends half his time in tvxq and the other half fanboying over suju and dragging half of exo to their concerts. the M in DME and chief shipper of the DBSJ ship.

chicken: first appeared in the “devil” teasers but has quickly been accepted as a member of the band.

ELF: everlasting friends, aka SJ’s fanclub. SJ loves their fans more than any other band and is constantly doing things just for ELF. ELF do tons of fan support projects as well. SJ and ELF troll each other allllllll the time and it’s perfect.
