it just snowed in south texas for the first time since 2004 and everyone’s losing their goddamn minds it wasn’t even an inch deep it was like 0.1 inches but our weather is almost always in the high 80’s year around I’m always sweating my ass off so no one fucking kill my excitement with a “oh haha that’s like summer in chicago” because I DO NOT care some of us have never seen snow in our lives and I’m nuttin rn and I built a shitty fucking snowman

As a Chicagoan, I really wanna see this legendary Texas snowman

hhaeurrrggghhhh….it’s me, howdy kotter…..and I’m 37 months overdue

also I just want to clarify it’s okay if you can’t donate due to financial instability. you’re still providing help by spreading the word so that the people who CAN donate see it. thank you.

Guys, if you can, pls help. Houston is getting hit really bad atm, and so did corpus christi and all the towns in between. Some money to get the power and water running again, to help take care of those who got hurt in crashes and floods would be amazing. I have family in and around the area, so i would be so grateful if you can at least reblog to spread the word. Thank you so much and god bless.

I’ve found more ways to help:

Feeding Texas– a donation organization dedicated to feeding starving Texans. They’re gonna need it since many resources were lost. 

Houston Food Bank- another donation organization dedicated to feeding the hungry, particularly in Houston where they were hit very hard. 

Coalition for the Homeless– provides vital information about shelters that are open to the homeless, or people who lost their homes. 

Port Aransas was completely devastated, it was recently reported that they have 100% devastation and no functional infrastructure

Rockport was completely wiped out and Aransas Pass took a large portion of the storm
Please keep Houston with its flooding and all the small coastal towns who took the brunt of Harvey in your minds

Also www.texasdiaperbank.org needs donations they help to get displaced families the essentials they need

Please consider the SPCA, as well – http://www.houstonspca.org/programs-and-services/disaster-services.html

As a Houstonian, I have to tell you how devastating this will be for animals, domestic and wild. A lot of the rescues will take place over the next several days and week.

Today in “Texas lawmakers doing something right for fucking once”

Joe Straus is a moderate Jewish Republican who has been battling against the Tea Party for a long time, and has been repeatedly targeted for defeat – as well as anti-semitic abuse – because of this. This doesn’t surprise me. I wish there were a lot more like him. 

Thank you, Joe Straus.

I wish we did not live in a time where what you did required bravery. But, unfortunately, we do.

Thank you for your courage.

Hey guys, especially in Texas?

You should send this guy thank you cards and positive thank you emails and that kind of shit.

I can guarantee that his office is getting flooded with nasty bullshit over this. It gets really, REALLY bleak and lonely when that’s ALL you get. Letting him know that he did good (yes, even if JUST on this one issue, if you disagree with everything else) is actually REALLY HELPFUL for encouraging politicians to do what you want. 

Damn, he’s great. This kind of thing should be incentivized as much as possible. 

…I mean, “focusing on the fiscal stuff” GOP style – telling disabled people that they are unworthy of assistance and should work or die, bleeding public services white, etc, etc – might well cause more suicides still. But at least he’s trying, I guess.

At this point any indication of policy decision making that isn’t literally motivated by sheer overt conscious malevolent evil is incredibly welcome, even if I do speak as a lesser-evil libbrul-type impurist adn should not be counted.

Please don’t think this fight is over. This article was from June, and as of this past weekend, the Senate Committee passed the bill! 10 hours of testimony that were mostly against this fucking bill and they still passed it! I’m so fucking angry.

But it’s not over yet. This shit bill is not yet law. So there is still hope
