What happened in Hungary?? Is there any way we could support you guys?

you can donate to budapestpride, háttér society and labrisz lesbian association! ill add more organizations if i can think of any

if there is an article in english about the situation i cant find it right now so i'll attempt to sum it up

basically our pseudo fascist government granted themselves emergency powers at the beginning of the pandemic and among other things they have been using it to slowly take away thw lgbt community's rights and freedom. trans people can no longer change their name and gender marker and gay couples can no longer adopt children

and most recently (last night actually) a law that is supposed to protect against child predators was changed so that "sex education in schools cannot promote the changing of one's sex or homosexuality" on top of that sex education programs can only be done by the school or a database of organizations maintained by the government. the breaking of these rules (aka telling kids its okay to be trans) would get both the organizer AND the principal of the school into major trouble (think jail)

additionally children under 18 cannot be shown advertisements or educational content containing homosexuality or transgender "propaganda" these materials MUST be marked 18+

40% of all hungarian lgbt individuals have admitted to suicidal ideation, with 30% percent admitting to attempting it. our government is framing this as the protection of the children but what it will actually do is kill even more lgbt kids.

im incredibly angry so i'm sorry if this is not well phrased but this needs to stop because the path we're heading down is gonna end really fucking bad for the hungarian lgbt+ community

Happy Birthday to Myles Kennedy!

a lot of us will reblog this and think “wow i need to check on people” or “i need to make people feel loved” but 99% of us will end up not doing it because we are not used to doing it and it’ll be weird for us to start doing it out of nowhere

BUT everyone needs support, love and understanding. not because a person looks happy does it mean they no longer need help. lets all reach out to our loved ones by at least calling them hi or checking up on them. its not too late to make a good change. sure it might be weird in the beginning but trust me, they will see that you care and it will make not only their day but possibly also their life

and it can even change others to start checking on their loved ones 

DON’T SCROLL PAST THIS

for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, it’s the season where that’s normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of São Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.

Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they can’t breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.

Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they don’t see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:

THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and it’s being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Don’t let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future — if we have one.

PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!

edit: I’m sorry if it sounded like I’m blaming Europe. I’m not. It’s our own government’s fault (Bolsonaro merged the agriculture and environmental ministries when he was elected, for God’s sake) and I’m really sorry if I offended anyone, I was just angry. Please don’t let that be the only thing you take away from this post.

edit 2: a lot of people have been mad at me about the half sentence I made about Trump. I’m sorry for it not being clear enough, but I never intended to put the blame on him also. I merely used him as an exemple of a politician who does not do much for the environment in general. In fact, since Bolsonaro is constantly sucking up to him, he offered to help, wich I am very grateful for. Again, I ask of you to not let this be the only thing you take away from the post.

Update: GUYS FRANCE JUST CALLED FOR AN EMERGENCY G7 MEETING TO RESOLVE THIS. I’M SO GLAD!! Let’s hope they get together to like punch our president or something...

Uighur Muslims are currently being persecuted and forcibly detained in Chinese camps where they remain as prisoners, forced into labor and tortured. This is all because there is a crackdown on the Muslim population in China. New reports reveal that Uighur Muslims are shackled, transported, and having their organs harvested.
