AUTUMN PELTIER

Autumn Peltier is a young Canadian activist for water rights and safe drinking water. She was born on Manitoulin Island and is a member of the Wikwemikong community, one of Canada's First Nations.

Autumn was eight years old when she attended a water ritual in which it was urged not to drink it without first boiling it. At the time, she discovered that many people did not have access to this resource, and she was also concerned about how it was consumed because it was not always drinkable. She has advocated for impactful causes such as access, water conservation, and the fight against the environmental emergency.

Her great aunt, Josephine Mandamin, who founded the Mother Earth Water Walkers movement and fought for the conservation of the Great Lakes until her death, inspired her. Peltier was later chosen chief water commissioner by the Anishinabek Nation in April 2019, a position formerly held by her great-aunt Mandamin.

hey, i just wanted to let every woman and transfem know that y'all are amazing and can do anything. don't let misogynist pieces of shit ever tell you otherwise. i saw this comment on this video where some ignorant asshole saw a small for-fun competition (who could jump the highest over a mat wall) and tried to use it as the pinnacle of all women's athletic ability to try to justify sexist segregation in sports. as if Katie Ledecky doesn't absolutely outclass everyone she competes against (including herself!! she beat the world record and then beat it AGAIN!!), as if Jackie Mitchell didn't strike out two of the most renowned male baseball players at just 17 years old!! As if Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce hasn't won FOUR world championship 100 meter titles, which NO ONE else has done. And there are loads more examples to choose from!! And not even from sports! Shakuntala Devi, Dr. Mae Jemison, Autumn Peltier, Alice Wong, Ruth Charlotte Ellis, Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and so, so many more. Women inventers, Transfem activists, every single woman and transfem person is incredible!! yall are amazing and i am constantly in awe of you. even if you never do something big, don't let a misogynist ever convince you that you are small. (please feel free to reblog with more names!!)

Greetings mutual of mine, tis I, completing my duties as a mutual to randomly send you questions :D

What jobs would the characters from Camp Half Blood have if they were normal human beings?

This was sent a while ago IM SORRY BESTIE

And I’m only doing people who spent time at CHB. NO Reyna or Hazel or Frank + them. Sorry…

I saw this post by @ikeasharksss (link here) and this was an important thing to touch on. So let’s unpack this.

So with Percy, I see him doing stuff with kids 1000%. Sure, we all know the Marine Bio degree, but isn’t that a bit on the nose? He already knows everything. But the child development degree I have him in my Percabeth fic? That’s something. Percy’s whole thing is loyalty and protecting everyone. And we all know how he is with kids. I feel like Percy would go into Children’s Therapy or like social work (though I’m not sure if he would want to reopen the wounds working direct cases) it fulfill that. He would minor in Marine Bio because a hyperfixation on fish won’t get him far in life if he wants to do stuff in the ocean.

Annabeth would obviously be architecture and that kinda stuff. Literally the “something permanent”. There we go.

Leo also would still be a mechanic. He was a mechanic before he knew he was a demigod.

Jason… this one was kind of a hard one. I feel like he would work for the UN or something. That just seems like something he would do.

Piper, Rachel, and Grover would all be influencers. Not like Addison Rae or the Kardashians. I’m talking Greta Thunberg. Malala. Amanda Gorman. Autumn Peltier. Gen Z activist-influencers doing more than adults ever will. Piper would do more cultural activism (Indigenous + LGBTQ+ things) while Rachel + Grover would do more environmental things. I am a firm believer that Piper + Rachel + Grover would be friends if they spent more time together. They would definitely rule the world if given the chance (and spend rich people’s money)

Will would be more of a med research kinda guy than an actual doctor. He would work for the CDC and Cancer research and all that fun stuff.

Nico would work in the children’s section of the library. Easy. He was and still a nerd since, like, infancy. Children LOVE that stuff. Nico like elementary schoolers more than middle schoolers, I think.

I’ll do a part two with others if someone asks so this is all I have rn

San Diego Unified to consider renaming Henry Clay Elementary school

The San Diego Unified school board members will be voting on Tuesday to approve a proposed renaming of Henry Clay Elementary School to honor the first Black woman to serve as the district’s Superintendent, Dr. Bertha Pendleton.

The renaming of the Mid-City school has been in the works for the last two years after students, parents and teachers requested the district explore the idea, according to board documents.

A first reading by the SDUSD board was held two weeks ago, on April 16. Although at the time, the board’s School Names Committee recommendation was to rename the campus, “Rolling Hills Leadership Elementary School.”

However, parents, students and school staff expressed concern about this new name proposed by the committee, instead asking the board to consider other alternatives explored when the renaming was first discussed.

These options included recognizing pioneering authors like bell hooks or James Baldwin, the district’s first Black female Dr. Pendleton, the first Hispanic woman to go to space Ellen Ochoa, or Indigenous activist Autumn Peltier.

Charlotte Dupuy — the enslaved woman who mounted a freedom suit against Clay, her enslaver, while he was U.S. Secretary of State — was also discussed as a choice for the school’s new name. These options have since been narrowed to Pendleton by the district board.

According to the district, Pendleton grew up in Alabama during segregation, when Black Americans were barred from the resources “to be successful and live full lives as citizens” that were enjoyed by her white neighbors.

Despite this, she found ways to learn on her own, which included getting permission to use the public library after hours to access their extensive reference materials. This ingenuity helped her become valedictorian of her high school graduating class.

She went on to graduate with honors from Knoxville College in Tennessee, before going on to earn a Master’s from United States International University and her Doctorate of Education from University of San Diego.

Pendleton spent her early career as a cartographic engineer before becoming a teacher. She was later fill administrative roles, working her way up to become the first Black American selected as the SDUSD’s Superintendent.

Outside the classroom, she served two terms as president of Epsilon Xi Omega, the local chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. She is also related to the late civil rights leader, U.S. Rep. John Lewis.

The board will vote on the proposed name change at its regularly scheduled meeting at 5 p.m. *Reposted article from FOX 5/KUSI by Danielle Dawson on April 30, 2024

this ones for the girls

the water warriors fighting for access to clean water for all

the teenagers imprisoned for fighting back against oppressive regimes 

those fighting for access to education for all

for the future of the planet 

for gender equality 

for safety and protection from gun violence

for governmental representation and engagement for youths 

for the rights of immigrants 

for syria and the rights of refugees 

for literacy and the representation of WOC in books

for trans and queer rights 

for protection of girls against forced marriage and child slavery

i hope that one day we live in a world where children are allowed to just be children, where they dont have to fight tooth and nail for their rights and their futures, but i could not be prouder of this generation
