Finally posting these in a set! From the last few weeks’ Floraverse updates.
I assure you there’s a reason behind the reference material, but it’s not quite done yet.
I’ll stick this here today, too!

A July 21, 2020 update on signatures.
I haven't seen many people saying this, but he's likely created this story on purpose, to change the search results for the terms "mark Zuckerberg Hawaii."
That's now the top result, pushing this down
This was a calculated move by a pr team.
Let’s not forget that there are government officials saying that black and brown kids should go back to school first in all this
TRANSCRIPT:
If you actually have a heart and a soul, you won’t scroll past this video.
*sigh*
Betsy DeVos, someone that our Cheeto in chief just elected as the head of education basically, pretty much just stated that when schools open this fall, that an estimated 0.02% of children will die from COVID 19. I’m not sure if that's just children or just people total in the school system, but bear with me.
That is 14,000 kids that could die from COVID 19. Even just one child is too many. Trump has also threatened that if schools are not opened by November all their funding will be cut. Teachers also have to write death letters to send to parents for when a child has died due to COVID 19.
Please, I beg of you, boost the hell out of this video. This is ridiculous
the faa quietly declared a no-fly zone over part of portland oregon for 30 days amidst people being detained by feds in unmarked vans and no major news organizations are talking about it
the altitude restriction is likely to deter people filming violence/these kidnappings with drones as it is too low to stop planes

July is disability awareness month but a lot of people tend to forget it :/ :/ :/
It’s all OK if you didn’t know, don’t feel bad about it, it’s a great occasion to listen to disabled people! We might not have pretty flags who will catch your attentions like during pride months, but we’re still here!
To clarify, now that I've looked it up, in the US at least July is specifically ADA Awareness Month. A great thing to do this month is look up laws surrounding pwd and our property.
Some examples:
- Grabbing a mobility device (wheelchair, cane, walker, etc) without permission is assault.
- Pushing someone's wheelchair without permission is kidnapping.
- Service dog teams are not required to carry any paperwork or certificates with them.
It's also a good time to look at laws that need to be changed or better enforced:
- People on disability income cannot get married without losing their benefits.
- People on disability income cannot have more than $2000, including property value (my $300 mattress counts against it), which means they cannot save money if they don't know about ABLE accounts.
- Airlines habitually break the law by mistreating passengers' wheelchairs.
- Accessible construction is still considered an afterthought rather than a cornerstone of design. And no matter what construction companies say, it's only more expensive to be accessible if you're tearing up existing features to add ramps and such later, rather than doing it from the get-go.
- Disabled people are routinely murdered by doctors who determine that they have no "quality of life" and are better off dead.
All these things disproportionately affect disabled people of color. Educate yourself, attend a virtual town hall meeting if you can, and bring these things up. Make things better.

Do something!
Alright
I want to talk about how cryptozoology is often toxic for Natives interested in it. I personally love cryptozoology, but I'm often uncomfortable while going through it because of how much content with w*ndigo, sk*nwalkers, or thunderbirds in it. So I can't stress enough to those involved in cryptozoology, please stop adding these spirits in with cryptids. Mothman, Jersey Devil, Nessie are all cryptids, but not Native spirits.
