As you celebrate thanksgiving, know that the Trump administration is taking away 321 acres of land from the Mashpee-Wampanoag, the tribe that helped the pilgrims survive and were present at the first thanksgiving. Tell legislators to support the Mashpee Reservation Reaffirmation Act. ]

Nearly 200 members and supporters of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe marched through this Cape Cod town on Saturday morning to protest a Trump administration ruling that would rescind a 2015 federal designation holding land in trust on behalf of the tribe.

If the tribe cannot retain control of the 321 acres in Mashpee and Taunton, it will be unable to build a planned $1 billion resort casino there. But the larger issue, members said, is the tribe’s cultural and moral claim to the land, which lies not far from where the Wampanoag greeted the Pilgrims who founded Plymouth Colony and later joined them in the first Thanksgiving.

Here’s a thought, maybe people’s growing irreverence for 9/11 is because it was a long time ago and younger generations weren’t as affected by it, or maybe they are so sick of the way it has been basically commercialised by politicians and used as a device to justify incalculable pain and they are tired of it being cynically trotted out every year and told to never forget while every year they are also told to all but ignore mass shootings and US humanitarian crimes.

And like, I dunno, maybe it isn’t about disrespecting those who died but refusing, for any number of reasons, to be a part of the governmental hallmark industry that has built up around it.

I take students to see the 9/11 memorial all the time. More and more of the students I get were either so young or not even born yet.

And every time, I ask them, what do you think? What are you feeling? And many of them are hesitant to respond so I’ll prompt, “Was it sad? Was it boring?” And as soon as they know I’m not gonna judge them for it, 100% of the time, they respond, “I feel bad that I don’t feel as moved by it as you. You cried when you told us about it and I get that it was such a horrible day and so many people died, but I can’t really think of what life was like before or just after that time.”

That really struck me the first time I heard it because these kids really don’t remember a time when things were so carefree and relatively quiet. Little to no security screenings. Almost zero school shootings. Kids stayed outside by themselves until the street lamps came on.

Because they grew up in a post-9/11 society, all they’ve ever known is mass violence and distrust of everything. Kids expect a plane to crash into a building, a truck bomb to go off at a big event, a student shooting up a school. And they’ve just got to deal with it and keep moving on or they won’t survive.

This.

The Patient Gardener

A 100 year plan to grow a circle of 10 Japanese cherry trees into an hourglass shaped structure to be used as a study retreat. Trees can be shaped, sculpted, trained to grow into specific shapes, and even grafted together into a lattice, but this concept takes things to the next level.

The project is being grown on the Politecnico di Milano campus, and is designed by a group of Swedish architects called Visiondivision. The plan is to shape the trees as they grow, tying them to create a central scaffold to give an upper level, then growing the branches out to form “walls.” They even intend to weave two of the trees together to form a staircase.

The concept is similar to the living root bridges found in Meghalaya, Sumatra, and Java, where the aerial roots of certain tree species are sculpted into usable structures.

always reblog, this is fucking activism folks

if you don’t have access to poorly-secured and un-backed-up debt records, you can help do this via legitimate means by donating to rollingjubilee.org – they buy debt (the way debt collectors do, for steeply discounted prices – like $20 to buy $500 in outstanding debt owed by someone) and just… forgive it, so it doesn’t need to be paid by the person on whom it’s a burden.

When y’all are washing your face do you

1) do it naked at the sink so when the water runs down and off ur elbow u can just flail/shake it away and still get kinda uncomfy but it’s whatever

2) do it in the shower like someone smart (not me)

3) do it at the sink with clothes on, including sleeves, and actively pretend you cannot feel your soaking wet forearms and elbows

4) somehow find a way to do it at the sink WITHOUT getting yourself all wet (PLEASE COMMENT BELOW IF THIS IS YOU WITH A DETAILED TUTORIAL)
