So, there’s this website and downloadable pdf called Invisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda. It’s where “former congressional staffers reveal best practices for making Congress listen”
It’s pretty dandy y’all should check it out
Also take a copy of The Activists’ Handbook by Aidan Ricketts which is an incredible book and a great stater for anyone who is brand new to practical activism and needs a helping hand on how to start in a safe, responsible and practical way
Vetinari: You have two cows. You convince them they will better off with you alive and in control than not.
Sam Vimes: You have two cows. They are probably guilty of something. Loitering, probably.
Young Sam: Where are your cows? Those goes “baah.” Those are sheep. They are not your cows.
Moist von Lipwig: You steal two cows. You convince everyone they are made of gold and sell them for a fortune. You get arrested and become Minister of Agriculture.
Tiffany Aching: You have two cows. An elf tries to steal them and you hit it with a frying pan.
Nac Mac Feegle: Someone has two cows. You steal them, then fight them, then fight yourself. You win.
Rincewind: You run away from cows.
Unseen University: You have two cows. One is caught up in a magical accident and is now a chair. The other has become a professor.
Sybil Ramkin: You have many cows. They aren’t dragons, so you don’t care. You have 37 dragons.
Nanny Ogg: You have a cow and a bull. You enjoy explaining how they will make more cows.
Granny Weatherwax: You wish Gytha would stop explaining how you get cows.
King Verence: You try to create an economic plan for your country based on bovine products; your people are too busy listening to Nanny Ogg.
Listen y’all, being anti-racist is not like a one time “I saw the light and I’ll never be racist again” deal, racism is something that has to be actively and constantly unlearned. Every day you have to challenge your thinking.
violins: the magikarp of instruments, after years living with terrible squeaky, teeth-grinding scrapy music you will be blessed with a powerhouse of emotion that is still somehow overrated
violas: awkward teenager of the strings, but when bold enough to speak actually sounds rather lovely
cello: beautiful bastards who are much smoother than their owners
bass: big daddy who seems tough but needs the most looking after
flute: levelled up recorder who sacrificed tone for range
piccolo: steam train whistle on speed
oboe: so high maintenance that from what I gather if you start using a different toothpaste the reed might complain
cor anglais: the soul of a goose is trapped inside every one
clarinet: two modes – pompous rooty-tooty or slutty jazzman
bass clarinet: loveable foghorn
bassoon: old gentleman fart machine
contrabassoon: old elephant fart machine
horn: sound can vary from anything between ‘love incarnate’ to ‘surprised cow’
trumpet: used and abused by large egos everywhere, personalities include ‘royal announcer’, ‘moody parisian drinking in a jazz bar in Budapest’ and ‘imperial parp parp’
trombone: chill enough most of the time but secretly relishes going from 1 – 100 with 0 warning and scaring the everloving Jesus out of everyone
bass trombone: like a great dane needs a strong, patient handler
tuba: like a really big, heavy, noisy four year old who sits on your knee for the whole of rehearsal
harp: the musicalisation of an impressionist painting, beautiful but too much time, effort and money are involved for most people
piano: most people’s gateway drug into music
timpani: ‘the shower in a friends house’ at first glance looks simple enough to use, but upon closer inspection complex set up is required to use them effectively.
percussion: like ordering a mystery bag online, you’re provided with a bunch of things you probably will never use or don’t know how to use. If you’re lucky you might get a triangle.
(not intended to be a complete list
tag yourselves, I’m imperial parp parp
Euphonium: player gets salty because they aren’t on the list before resigning themselves to the truth that it’s their own fault for playing euphonium
This might seem fun for some people, but for us it’s not.
You see, Palawan is known for its non-commercialized islands and untouched beaches. There are only a few resorts in there, and the government limits tourism population there. Here are some pictures of our beautiful islands:
Nickelodeon, however, wants to capitalize the island of Coron, Palawan. They’re going to build a resort and theme park there. They claim that they want to “spread environmental awareness” but they’re really not. Building this resort will disrupt the marine ecosystem; thus destroying the environment there. Also, Palawan is our last ecological frontier in the Philippines. If they’re going to continue to do this, more and more big companies will cash-in to commercialize Palawan- and I really do not want that to happen.
I know petitions won’t do much, but at least we can prove a point that Palawan should not be disrupted. Please sign this petition, so that it will not only show that us Filipinxs don’t want this, but people from different countries as well. Please spread it around as well, so that people from different countries can be aware of what Nickelodeon is doing.
Ang aming kalikasan ay hindi dapat sirain. Maraming salamat po.
