Two brass bells

Once shiny and new

Now the metal breaks through the well chipped paint

The owl, hollow, like an empty skull

Mustard paint edging yellow jingling metal

The cat, faceless, like anonymity

The metal only peeks through on the most raised points

The cute brushstrokes have worn down

The finish has matted

And I think, that he had indeed told me

That I knew

But I failed

Did that owl call to say that I should have taken better care?

That you reap what you sow,

That both rejuvenation and disease rides the cool night air, 

I think so.

Now only time will show what will be

I hope, Gods, I pray, that this will turn with, rather than against.

So the only all-birds rehab center in North Texas is about to shut down

becausebirds:

So the only all-bird rehab center in North Texas is about to shut down…

I can’t even put into words how upset I am about this. Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation has been open for almost twenty years, and is the only place in North Texas that takes in literally any type of bird if it’s been injured, orphaned, or otherwise incapacitated. They’re finally out of funds, and if they can’t come up with anything by April 2nd, they’re going to be forced to close their doors.

They’ve never turned away birds. Not when it’s a surprise 200 baby cattle egrets that’ve been orphaned because city planners thought they could cut down their homes and no one would notice. Not when it’s raptors with one good eye and in need of seven different antibiotics. Not even when it’s ducks that irresponsible parents won’t let their kids keep after easter. This is where anyone let me first get up close to birds. I mean, I’ve known I wanted to work with birds and wildlife since I was seven- I’m twenty four now, and halfway through an environmental science master’s and it’s a big reason I kept going.

I’ve been going to this place on and off for ten years, I was THIRTEEN when I started volunteering and seeing all the terrible things that happen to the birds that come in. Not just…hit by trucks, or caught in a hailstorm but parrots that have been left in foreclosed houses for weeks, and roosters that have come out of cock fighting rings and would otherwise be put down because the SPCA and humane societies don’t think they’re salvageable. There’s an emu that was raised there as a baby because no one wanted her. Her name’s Riley and I can’t even begin to comprehend what shutting the doors to the center would mean?

They don’t get government aid. They’ve been funded by the public donating and Kathy, the lady who owns the place, going through her retirement funds and savings and her social security to keep it running. She’s finally run out of money. Please,  just reblog? Even if you can’t donate anything- and I know it’s a lot to ask for poor teenage/college kids to donate money that they don’t have, or struggling artists I know but maybe someone who can spare something will see it eventually? They need $200,000 to keep open for a year, if they stop paying workers. And they’re all willing to not get paid if it means these birds will have somewhere to go, somewhere to stay if they need it.

Please consider donating—even just $5. Even if you can just reblog it, perhaps one of your followers can help. A cause like this is very near and dear to my heart. I volunteer at International Bird Rescue in Los Angeles and places like these are run on a shoestring budget and rely almost completely from volunteer help.

Just some pretty pictures form the center! The screech owls are amazing omg. Please donate a dollar or two.

This is losing steam, guys. Please reblog more than once, so that all your followers can see it.

Can I get a signal boost for this please? I have a very important message to share.

Australia is home to the longest continuing culture in the world but also one of the youngest colonized western countries too.

The English settlers gave us the word Aboriginal to describe us in 1788, even though we had hundreds of individual nations/nationalities within the broader Aboriginal race and continent that Australia is.

This story is from my nation, it happened to many nations on Australia’s eastern coast line.

The English came they came wielding guns to our men’s heads, slaying them. They took women and children and put them into reserves.

With the cultural men gone, the women and children were forced to assimilate to British way of life. The British men would use these women to “their benefit” and have children with them. These women would stay on reserves til they died, suppressed from practicing culture or speaking their languages.

The aboriginal children however were segregated in many ways. If they ended up being light enough, they could be adopted out to English families. If they were too dark and considered female, they’d be forced to do the same as their mothers. If they were young men, they’d work for white men without pay (isn’t that what the English call slavery?).

None of these children got strong cultural knowledge passed down from their forefathers and foremothers. The genocide of aboriginal people was happening and it was a long, slow and torturous process.

Some of our people fortunately were able to pass down cultural knowledge, others not so lucky. Other nation’s mothers and children’s weren’t even put onto reserves as the “protection” act insisted. Some mothers and children were SLAYED from the barrel of a gun too.

And today, in remote Australia many aboriginal communities survived, didn’t come into contact with foreigners. By then protection laws were outdated and the land they took, they had and the cultures there were mainly wiped out.

But that being said, it’s 2015 and Australian governments are still doing this. In Western Australia, their premier Colin Barnett is doing to shut down 150 remote communities because they can’t afford to run them. Moving these people to the cities, where they’ll lose the ability to practice sacred ceremonies, teaching their children about the land and eventually assimilation into the high pressure life of the city. The genocide continues.

People are agreeing to this move by saying these places, breed disease, breed violence and breed poverty. It’s an awful shame the hypocrites won’t admit they introduced these things to aboriginal people.

Yesterday, Friday the 13th 5.30pm EST across Australia there were protests in every capital. In Melbourne we managed to shut down the city during peak hour.

People were furious about us shutting down the city’s main intersection, white people looking at us as if we are disgusting for doing it. I would have done it for 227 years, so they could feel a fraction of what we as aboriginal people faced.

Australia is a great place to live, unless you are aboriginal and understand the dangers of assimilation. It’s a great place to live for many non-aboriginal people but it’s been at the cost of many aboriginal cultures, languages and lives.
It is considered to be a “developed” nation, but for these “developed” people they can’t even have the decency to come to us for a treaty like every other commonwealth nation has with their indigenous peoples.

Recognizing us in your constitution won’t change that. It’s your constitution, it recognizes your occupation and dictatorship over aboriginal lives. Reconciliation shouldn’t be about getting us into jobs and university so we can fend for ourselves in your society. Reconciliation is letting us be aboriginal people, with our own law for our people, practicing our culture, languages and paying the rent that is 227 years overdue. A treaty is vital to allow us to co-exist among non-aboriginal the right way. Paternalism isn’t working, your entitlement to our own lives is racist. Just grant us self-determination and you’ll see better health, education and well being.

Aboriginal genocide continues in many explicit and implicit ways. It doesn’t always mean death, it’s assimilation through racism and colonisation.

It’s 2015 and genocide continues:

Death at the hands of police
Forced child removals (aka job creation)
Highest suicide rates in the world
Disease and illness at higher rates
The forced removals of people off their cultural land
Domestic violence against women (introduced)
Ruining the matriarchal cultures because European men introduced the sense of entitlement over women.
And again assimilation.

So when we march the streets, don’t stare, glare or be disgusted. Have empathy and wisdom, understand where we are coming from. Be grateful to be living here, you’re living here because many aboriginal people sacrificed so much for you to be here.

Gumera Wahlu - Yugembeh for my heart loves you/i love you.

If you use kik, block shanezzzzy. He’s a pedophile. Please reblog this so that people don’t interact with him.

This is the most disgusting thing I’ve seen in a while, and I’ve seen some pretty fucked up stuff on this website. I would literally destroy this horrific creature with my bare hands if I could. How dare he believe that someone as innocent as a child should be sexualized? I’m horrified thinking about how this could happen to either of my baby sisters. And the fact that he is so ignorant as to believe that human trafficking isn’t an issue in modern society is so mind blowingly stupid.
