Made this because of yet another Tumblr fiasco! Im a queer witch trying to find a new home that offers the same quirkyness as tumblr. But without the problems :)

DREAMers, don’t stop dreaming

action:

You’ve probably heard by now that President Trump and his Attorney General Jeff Sessions have decided to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Originally created by President Obama, the program provided hope and protection to nearly a million children of undocumented immigrants, many of whom have growing up knowing no other nation besides the United States of America.

In their hearts, in their lives, DREAMers are Americans. And they are human beings. The cruelty of deporting them to an unfamiliar land is matched only by the recklessness of doing so. Immigration is vital to our identity, our economy, and our culture. To extinguish the dreams of DREAMers is not only unkind, but fundamentally un-American.

So, Tumblr, here are some ways you can help each other out:

  • Don’t forget to take care of yourself, especially if you’re one of the people directly affected by this. You can’t just fight—you also have to heal.
  • Tell your story. Tag it #DREAMer. Let people know what you’ve experienced, and let other DREAMers know they’re not alone.

And if you could use some perspective on what it’s like for a DREAMer right now, please read this Answer Time session with an undocumented immigrant who took your questions on her situation, her hopes, and her fears. It’ll open your eyes, it’ll open your heart. It’s what the world needs right now.

Stay strong, Tumblr.

Hey everyone, near Portland the national recreation area woods, 10,000+ acres, are burning with uncontrolled and unprecedented fire. I am literally smelling the smoke from it inside the office building I am working at. This is not a poetic observation, it is a troubling one. I have gotten two pieces of commentary today on how this smoke smell is some blessing from the spirits or how the fires might be a blessing in disguise. Neither things are appropriate to send to me considering the context of Oregon’s situation. Here is a link with information on these fires and what is going on, so you can get context. Please check someone’s timeline for context, and maybe google some news, if you’re not informed on their situation and want to give them some commentary. If it “might seem insensitive” and it’s about a disaster… then don’t say it!

When you stand at the crossroads, you are standing in the realization that you have a serious choice to make. On the left hand, there is a grinding storm of pain and terror, of blind, drunk passions and wonderful imagination and ideas. That is the way of death, though if you were to go that way, you would find yourself very much alive. On the other hand, the right hand, there is a great, mysterious freedom, something you cannot even begin to gaze upon, and which offers no clean assurances. That is the way of life, though if you were to go that way it might mean the death of everything you’ve known, cherished and loved.
There’s no middle ground. It’s a true crossroads, a fork in the road, a fork in your mind. The Master is there, standing there, waiting for you to choose. He has a golden stang, blazing with light, and he gazes at you with two faces. One face looks to life, the other to death. What will you do? Who are you? What are you? The question and the choice isn’t going to go away

People who live on Caribbean islands and in Florida please prepare for a possible hurricane that can cause MAJOR destruction!! Hurricane Irma has been growing at fast rates and it doesn’t hurt to be safe than sorry. Stock up on food, water, portable chargers, and other helpful resources that can get you through this.

Here is a 2017 hurricane disaster guide that contains vital information on how to survive a hurricane. It’s too early to tell how far it’ll go beyond Florida but meteorologists are predicting it can hit the Carolinas. The storm isn’t expected to hit the U.S until Friday, so that gives Florida residents a lot of time to stock up and get prepared. 

Florida’s Governor has already declared a state of emergency!

Hey guys, this is important! Spread this around!

Also: North Carolina (possibly) and a couple other states north to Florida. It’s HUGE y’all.

And it’s best to stock up NOW for supplies! Don’t wait to see where this thing is going to go!

I live in South Florida and go to school in North Florida and supplies like water, batteries, and shutters/plywood are already sold out in a lot of places. You don’t want to be in the mad rush if this thing takes a turn for the worse. (Plus with the devastation in Texas gas is supposed to keep going up. Get it now if you can!)

As someone who has been in two hurricanes (one of them category 5):

  • -Hurricanes usually last 3-4 days, so buy enough CANNED supplies
  • -any important documents or books you may want to save, keep them in palstic bags and put them in high places
  • -protect your windows. I remember my parents putting tape all over the windows in a cross and an x shape from córner to corner. This doesn’t protect the windows from breaking but when in case it breaks it won’t spread all over the floor. I asked my mom and if you want like high protection use wood boards.
  • – buy water and keep candles or flashlights since electricity and water services are out during a hurricane
  • -get a battery radio
  • -if you live in a two floor house I recommend you to move all your furniture to the second floor in case it floods.
  • -if you have a wood house get ready for a bunch of water leaks
  • -stay calm
  • -if you have trees/palms around your house be careful since they may fall (I personally think it’s better if you cut them off or at least the dangerous branches), hurricanes ARE capable of breaking a big ass trees, i’ve seen it
  • -obviously keep your pets inside
  • -if you live close to the sea DON’T STAY THERE. GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE. LOOK IN THE INTERNET FOR SHELTERS NOW!!!
  • -Stay safe

I think America should start implementing a hurricane culture. If they had one, what happened in Houston wouldnt had been that bad. Make research, keep your family safe, don’t Panic. You’ll make it through it!!!!

REBLOG THIS SPREAD THE WORD!!!

UPDATE: THE HURRICANE IS NOW A CATEGORY 5

The storm is at its most powerful rate and extremely dangerous rate so it is highly recommended at this point to stock up and get prepared if you live in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. It doesn’t hurt to get prepared if you live even more northern than those states. It’s not looking good.
