Flint got clean water and nobody knows &/or cares

YOU DEADASS????

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/24/lead-levels-for-water-in-flint-michigan-have-fallen-below-federal-limit.html

Yoooooooo. This is lit. Like, actually really lit. Thank you for sharing this news.

If I didn’t it doesn’t look like anyone was going to lol

I didn’t hear a thing about it (but again, I’m NOT up to date with really anything nowadays it seems). Again though, thank you so much for sharing this.

Wow this makes me beyond happy

The link above didn’t work for me so here’s another one. http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/04/us/flint-water-crisis-fast-facts/index.html

It’s July 7th 2017

Flint residents are still being told to use filters for water

flint’s mayor and the head of the lead pipe replacement team said as of march that it would be 2 years before they could safely drink without filters

as of june 16th 20,000 lead pipes still need to be replaced and little miss flint says in this same article that bottled water is still their only source of clean water

Since the link you first alluded to bishop roger lee jones has said that donations of water to his church for distribution have slowed to a crawl

in this article in response to the announcement about the lead level being below fed, mandated levels one flint resident here says that her water still smells like bleach

in the same article as the one directly above, flint resident says, “Initially when we started fighting we were fighting about the [Legionnaires] bacteria. When we found the lead, they stopped talking about the other chemicals.” In other words just because the lead levels have dropped doesn’t mean everything else that was wrong with the water is fixed.

Additionally, the legal battle over who’s in fault for all this has only just started. They still need help and donations.

Please do not spread this information without all the facts. Flint does not have clean water.

Because I’m in Detroit and I was like “No they don’t.”

they are these wonderful tiny predatory birds

With great camouflage for multiple environments

And lovely plumage dependent on their species

BUT BEST OF ALL IS THEIR MOUTHS, which look small then their beaks are closed (they’ve even got cute lil’ whiskers!)

BUT ARE ACTUALLY HUUUUGE

BEST BIRD

i am here for this bird

WHAT IS THIS ELDRITCH HORROR!!!

Didn’t you read? It’s a Nightjar.

So, I just found out my old hometown is completely underwater, so we’re doing our best to reach out to family and friends and get them rescued.

If you know anyone who is affected by the floods in SETX and Houston, you can direct them to http://houstonharveyrescue.com/ – a database of all volunteer relief organizations available for rescue efforts in the areas.

Here are a few other resources you can utilize:

If anyone is willing to make relief donations, please visit the Safety Check for Hurricane Harvey Facebook Page and see where you can help.

This will give you a drop down that allows you to select many different ways to provide assistance.

This is what we were afraid of happening with Rita 12 years ago, and this time around NO ONE got to evacuate. Literally the entire city of Port Arthur is underwater after the levee failed, as are many of the surrounding cities.

Currently plotting another trip to Tranquility Aquatics via the Sainsbury’s just down the street from there, since it should work better for the fish in that order.

Not necessarily so much for me, with the fish shop closing two hours earlier than the other store location and needing to lug groceries around for longer. But, I imagine they’d be stressed enough by getting netted and tied up in bags without riding around in a shopping cart too 😨 Only planning to pick up a few urgent items (famous last words), but still.

It’s cooled down enough today that I might take along an insulated bag just to be safe. It should only be maybe 10-15 minutes home, but those bags don’t have much water to hold the temperature stable and I don’t necessarily trust the buses.

It’s also pouring rain, and I would probably skip that grocery run otherwise. Out of a few basics like GF bread and really need to make a pharmacy stop, but still. More inclined to try to muster the spoons and go out in the rain with the prospect of new fish *wry smile*

Well, I did manage to make it out to both places. And I don’t think I even forgot anything super important this time *fingers crossed*

That was pretty stressful, especially on the way home just as rush hour was getting rolling in the direction I was heading–with no headphones along because I’m a Muppet 😳 I was already kinda overloaded from the multiple stops and bus rides.

But, I made it home and the new corys are floating in the tank for temperature adjustment now. Very glad I did get that done, though. That was actually the first time in longer than I care to think about that I’ve gotten out on the bus for grocery shopping, and now I have a few things quicker without setting up a delivery.

Sandwich time pretty soon, I imagine, now that there’s more bread.

the fact is that communism will mean less cars, less motorboats, etc. these things cannot exist for everybody, and the people they exist for now are destroying the planet with them. communism means a slower world -no planes, we’ll take slow trains instead – but that’s alright, because we’ll have more time, since there won’t be work.

I don’t like this. Space age communism is my speed. That said maglev trains can outpace a lot of modern airliners.

I’m talking electric, slow trains buddy. no maglev anything. also speed is fascist

this is a job I’d take – slow train driver, just making my lazy way across the country, talking to people, I’d love that

Speed literally is fascistic though. It’s not surprising that the futurist movement, which was full of people who went on to be loyal fascists, was centered on speed and violence. In particular they loved cars, trains, planes, and the fast-pace of modern industrial life.

The car is easily the number one killer of life either directly, accidents, or indirectly, air pollution, mining pollution, refining pollution, stress. Not to mention what it does to human geography and wildlife habitat. And if people love cities they should hate cars since cars are the number one reason why cities suck these days.

I think it would be cool if small electric cars for inner city were reserved for people with mobility issues. Or were communized and you took them out on the outskirts of a well-defined city when you needed to travel somewhere not easily reachable by train or ship. Or if you just wanted to slow-cruise the countryside.

My “ideal” would be to use limited technology to a bare minimum for utilitarian purposes. Primarily healthcare and for assistance to those with disabilities. And where absolutely only necessary to relieve labor. IE sanitation or heavy lifting of objects safely.

Luddites are a fucking trip dude

Holy shit what a bunch of losers

lol don’t drive cars guys they are fascist.

“Getting enough nutrients is so reactionary”

These are the exact type of people I would picture blaming capitalism for their laziness.

I saw someone say ‘Speed is fascist’ on another post before I saw this and I was like ‘yeah okay I guess the movie’s got that one part about how police should shoot hostages I suppose that could be taken that way’ but it was actually about just…going fast…

Like, in terms of abstract ideological frameworks I could get this, but then we go on to seriously limiting technology and the like…piss off with that: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/01/for-a-luxury-leftism

I have a disability. Fuck your abstract ideological framework THE MOMENT I need medical care and can’t get it because transportation is for fascists.

Why does every ideal utopia always sound so goddamn oppressive and boring?

Sorry, Nana, I’d spend a week on the ~slow train~ to visit you, but this here butter ain’t gonna churn itself! Hope this letter finds you well, since Skype is a frivolous indulgence.

and discord is for Problematics

I don’t understand why cars are seen as so evil. Like if you have a problem with emissions, that’s fine. We are working on it, eventually they will make a suitable fueling method for electric cars eventually, then the effect is based on our power grid so make sure you are worrying about how much coal we are using still.

Also like… “only the disabled can have cars” what is your form of measurement? at this point I might not qualify for a blue tag anymore, but I can’t play pokemon go too many days in a row because too much walking makes me bedridden. No one wants to spend money on provinding shit so you damn well better believe the way they measure need is ALWAYS far too strict to not badly screw people over.

So yes, you would be likely trapping people in their homes with this idea. Good job. You can pry my precious cars out of my cold dead fingers they are my larger wheelchair.
