Concept: horse girl movie where instead of having a horse that’s Damaged With A Heart Of Gold and a Sad Girl Who Needs It we have a horse who’s just batshit crazy who forges a grudging bond with the main character because she’s even batshit fucking crazier
PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)
FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)
Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)

dear Americans very concerned and angry about the concentration camps your government is running:
you should be angry, you should be furious, you should do everything and anything you can to shut them down.
but here in Australia, we've had concentration camps for refugees for nearly 25 years. we've protested and petitioned and yelled, but the government was 'clever' and put them offshore, away from the mainland where we can't reach them, can't storm them. then they banned journalists from going. then they banned doctors.
the only time mainstream news tends to report on the "offshore detention centres" is when yet another group of children try to commit suicide.
yes, the Australian government has concentration camps for people fleeing warzones, and the people in those camps are tortured so bad that the children try to kill themselves.
Americans, I hope you manage to close your governments camps, by law or by force. maybe when you're done, you can turn your attention to us? we could use some loud international outrage from a western ally, the government might care. the public has spent 20 years trying and failing.
non-Australians, please spread this information. I don't think many people know internationally, except the island nations we pay to host our camps and keep quiet.
Having read the books (I’m on book five of the first series, so technically still reading) It’s an amazing series
