#intersectional environmentalism

“It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.”

― Robert Louis Stevenson

The US government can afford to support environmental justice, improve community health, increase quality of education, upgrade infrastructure, and provide opportunity for all.

Our leaders just choose to fund genocide instead.

i think a lot of people mistake vegans for believing themselves to be "morally superior" rather than the actual, and very reasonable stance that IF YOU HAVE THE OPTION NOT TO KILL OTHER LIVING BEINGS, YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT.

most of us can understand that it's stupid to wield "oh so you think you're morally superior" against any type of human or environmental rights activists because how do you even respond to that? sure? Because its NOT ABOUT MORAL SUPERIORITY. IT'S ABOUT NOT UNNECESARILY CAUSING HARM.

Also, an activist could be the most annoying, self righteous person on the entire planet, but their stances having NOTHING to do with that. An asshole saying "trans rights" doesn't mean you shouldn't support trans rights because an asshole said it.

PLEASE start looking at veganism like you look at any other form of activism and resistance, and consider what disinformation and propaganda you've been fed about it.

It is the grand masculine colonial tradition to talk about women as if they were a conquerable landscape—from Sir Walter Raleigh's naming of Virginia after a virgin queen, through the way that residents of the Kingdom of Fife adoringly calling the Lomond Hills the 'paps of Fife', or the 'breasts of Fife'. In the pale teal mornings I would lie back on my grandmother's cold garden lawn and compare my growing chest bumps to the horizon.

If you go somewhere on vacation you better treat the workers there like fucking royalty bc they spend 9 fucking hours a day helping and smiling to rich assholes who had never worked 40h a week on minimum wage to fucking survive and instead just spend hundreds of dollars on being shitbrains and having fun while shoving it on your face while you get treated like literal shit

literally so fucked up that some of the main people we look to in activism are disabled folk who have very few choices on how to survive day to day. like if anyone deserves to envision a world where you’re taken care of and nature is healed and you have unlimited access to its positive impacts and you don’t ever have to worry about money or being exploited it’s our disabled class

so fucked up that the people we esteem the highest in human rights activism isn’t the poor and the marginalised who’ve been screwed over the most and deserve the most in return. some people deserve more than others yes but it’s not who we think. it’s about righting the wrong that society made to exploit people to begin with and if your activism doesn’t centre around that I don’t know what to do with you

people of the world: are there any environmentally oriented events you wish you could’ve attended in university, either that did exist or didn’t exist but you wanted them to? answers please and thank you

hey! as y’all know, Better Future Program is an entirely youth-run nonprofit and we provide over 3,000 FREE social justice, mental health, and academic resources. but because the majority of our volunteers are full-time students in middle school, high school, and college, we need YOUR help!

the screenshotted sections above have WAYYYY less resources than some of the others. do you think you could help us out? if you have leftist, anti-capitalist resources that align with these topics, please submit them here!

to reiterate, we are looking for leftist, anti-capitalist resources pertaining to: Jewish rights, Muslim rights, immigration, climate change, reproductive rights, classism, children’s rights, educational equity, and fat liberation

As long as humans are alive on Earth there will be hope. Do you understand that? Even with a crisis on our doorstep, we aren’t going to roll over and give up so easily, especially not when other like our family and friends still rely on us for love.

Why trolls behave like lefties women are supposed to educate them? We are not their social workers or their therapist and we are not forced to bear all their insecurities and problems on our shoulders. They need professionals. Not seeking attention in inclusive and intersectional feminist or LGBTQ+ spaces. Those spaces are supposed to be safe for us all, not to be social places in which trolls are welcome to harm. Don't feed the trolls!
