Ok, so I hate doing this cuz who likes being reminded that they’re poor. But I’m kinda in a tough spot because of a family emergency (thanks mom) and I don’t have enough to pay for the semester. And I really don’t want them to drop me this close to the end. I’m $1000 short (yikes) and I’d greatly appreciate any help I can get. You’re not obligated to donate or reblog, save the nasty messages please. I’ll delete this post when/if I get enough. Thanks for reading <3
“In 2016 Chinese officials confirmed they had lost control of the space station and it would crash to Earth in 2017 or 2018. China’s space agency has since notified the UN that it expects Tiangong-1 to come down between October 2017 and April 2018.
Since then the station’s orbit has been steadily decaying. In recent weeks it has dipped into more dense reaches of Earth’s atmosphere and started falling faster.”
The ESA predicted that fragments could fall over any spot within 43ºN and 43ºS, latitudes which encompass major Asian cities such as Beijing, Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore and New Delhi.
The Middle East, the African continent, parts of Europe such as Spain and Italy as well as American cities like San Francisco, New York and Miami are also within the latitude range.
The space agency explained that it is not possible to provide more precise landing locations.
tumblr really took autocorrect away when you type in the tags… they’re really out there thinking I can sit here and type everything perfectly? I even have to consciously add apostrophes?? who has that kind of time???
I do not ever-ever.-want to hear someone say Poland isn’t one of the most racist, antisemitic countries, ever again.
WARSAW—Tens of thousands of Poles marched across downtown Warsaw on Saturday, in an independence-day procession organized by a nationalist youth movement that seeks an ethnically pure Poland with fewer Jews or Muslims.
The largely young crowd shot off roman candles and chanted “fatherland,” carrying banners that read “White Europe,” “Europe Will Be White,” and “Clean Blood.” Some of the marchers flew in from neighboring countries—Slovakia, Spain and Hungary—waving flags and symbols those countries used during their wartime collaboration with Nazi Germany.
“There are of course nationalists and fascists at this march,” said Mateusz, a 27-year-old wrapped in a Polish flag, “I’m fine with it. I’m just happy to be here.”
The march, organized by a group called the National Radical Camp, underscores the increasingly rightward politics of a growing section of Polish youth. The Radical Camp presents itself as the heir to a 1930s fascist movement of the same name, which fought to rid Poland of Jews in the years just before the Holocaust. A second group, All Polish Youth, also named after an anti-Jewish interwar movement, co-organized it.
Officials in the city government said they thought the march reflected poorly on Poland, but they said they had no choice but to approve the demonstration, as it fulfilled the legal requirements: It qualified as a celebration of Polish history. “This is not the type of event I would take my children to,” said Agnieszka Kłąb, spokesperson for the Warsaw City Council.
Police estimated the crowd at 60,000 people.
The Radical Camp has been holding independence-day marches since 2009. Until several years ago, it struggled to attract more than a few hundred people. In the past three years, it has become the largest independence-day occasion in Poland, and one of the largest nationalist marches of its kind anywhere in Europe. Saturday’s was expected to be the largest ever.
“It’s getting more and more vicious,” said Jakub Skrzypek, 25, one of about a dozen counterprotesters standing behind a banner that read “We Are Polish Jews,” and surrounded by police. “We are really in fear.”
The Radical Camp’s followers argue, on their social-media accounts and in their literature, that the influx of Syrian refugees into Europe is part of a conspiracy driven by Jewish financiers, who are working with Communists in the European Union to bring Muslims into Europe, and with them, Shariah law and homosexuality.
The group has regularly held events to mark a 1936 pogrom against Jews. Its symbols were displayed on a banner that appeared over a Warsaw bridge, reading: “Pray for Islamic Holocaust.”
I work at Walmart. This week we had to let three associates go because over the course of our last two quarters our losses due to theft more than doubled, and we need to cut costs in the departments these associates worked in. All three of these associates have children; two of them are single parents. If you make a habit of shoplifting from stores because “the company makes billions every year so they can handle a few hundred dollars in losses,” think about that, and think about the lives you’re ruining. We lose our jobs when you do what you do. Don’t pretend it doesn’t affect us.
and they honestly deserve it WITHOUT having to relocate themselves, their family, and their WHOLE community.
Or neglecting part of their identity or culture
Or being judged for taking money or resources they are already owed.
from a friend in northern ontario. $43 for shitty mass produced muffins that cost $6 down south/in the city
here, have some wilted asparagus at the cheapest low quality grocery story
THIS is why i get so angry when non-natives say, “just go to the grocery store! you don’t need to hunt such and such animal bc of _______ bullshit reason!” Like NO. it’s not as simple as that. going to the store ? this is what you see ^^^^ please educate yourself. I am so very tired of the ignorance and assumptions that all people in america have the same basic amenities. Also stop ridiculing NDN people who hunt their traditional way on THEIR traditional hunting grounds. whatever the “problematic” animal may be. Those animals were put here by the creator FOR indigenous peoples, to live belong side us in harmony and good health, and to feed the people when the time comes. ALL ndn people of the “americas” are hunter/fathered people traditionally. respect our ways of life or GTFO.
👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾
I feel like this article is relevant here, especially with that last comment:
Be aware that price-gouging is enourmously prevalent in Alaskan Native villages too, so here comes this young adult who goes out and kills a whale the traditional way, all to feed his village!!! ONE SINGLE WHALE.
Which by the way isn’t even endangered.
And you know what the animal rights’ activists do?
They sent him death threats.
All over a fucking NON-ENDANGERED whale.
This man is a hero in his village, he fed everyone there for days. Below-working class Alsaskan Natives who otherwise would’ve had to travel hours to get to the nearest grocery store.
Entitled vegans always say “well why don’t you just go to the store and buy fresh produce?”
Because there aren’t stores where Rez Natives live.
And if you’re lucky, you’ll find shit like the images above, you wanna pay $30 CA for some fucking asparagus???
Unless you’ve seen the Rez life and how shit is, then you need to shut the fuck up and keep your entitled shit to yourself.
